Overview
Property code: OC-L30051

This delightful seaside house is set in a commanding position on the hillside in the Hannafore area of West Looe overlooking the whole of the town below. With the most incredible views from the front-facing rooms, you will find yourself drawn to the windows to gaze at the outstanding panorama. The pale, sandy beach is in full view together with the sparkling waters of the bay across to St George’s Island. The famous Banjo Pier stretches out below and you can watch the local fishing boats making their way into the harbour with their catch-of-the-day. You can join the South West Coast Path right outside the house and make your way along to Hannafore Beach to discover fantastic rock pools. The leisure and spa facilities at the Hannafore Hotel are a short walk away and here you can make use of the indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and steam room or enjoy a relaxing treatment at competitive prices.

The Gulls is set across three levels with the open-plan living room on the ground floor. This bright, contemporary living space is great for a sociable get-together but if you want a little more privacy, each bedroom comes with its own en suite and a TV for lazy lie-ins.

The location of this holiday home is wonderful, overlooking the harbour at Looe in the quieter West Looe. All of the rooms that face towards the front of the house have exceptional views and lots of light. In contrast all of the rooms at the back of the house are dark and have a damp feel to them. There is a bathroom for every bedroom which is greaRead moret. A blind was missing from one of the bathroom windows though which left the user somewhat exposed. This property is on three floors and is not accessible for anyone with any mobility issues. It is only suitable for physically fit and non-disabled people. The parking space is difficult to access. You have to reverse along a narrow track to get to it and then it is a tight space to reverse into. The parking space is not identified as belonging to the property and was taken by a resident of another property when we moved our car for the day. The check out time of 9am is unreasonable, especially given the flights of stairs you need to take your things up and down to move out and in. It is a property of two halves - the front rooms are lovely, the back rooms less so. We would not book it again as it didn't feel like a coherent, friendly and private place to us. Hide

Great location, comfortable beds and well appointed house on 3 levels. Lovely quaint town and clean sandy beach. A fair but pleasant walk to the beach. Don't forget your contactless card to pay 20p for the sea front loos. The seagulls will pinch your pasty given half a chance

Well-located in quiet West Looe but with spectacular views across the river to East Looe and the beach. Four spacious bedrooms each with en-suite and a cosy living/dining area. Well-equipped and ideal for our one week stay in June. Parking for one vehicle is challenging but manageable and we parked a second vehicle not far away on Marine Drive whicRead moreh has no restrictions. The walk to East Looe and most of the shops can be much shortened by the 1 passenger ferry. Plenty of activities to pass the week and we especially enjoyed the 5 mile boat trip to Polperro. If you have any issues or questions the owner is very helpful. Little touches like the welcome food basket and fresh flowers on the dining table were much appreciated. Hide

The view from the Gulls is really quite spectacular, 4 Bedrooms each one is on suite and plenty of room for a large family. We had an amazing week even though the weather wasnt the best but the view certainly made up for it. The owner of the property is very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

A really lovely house that is great for a large family to stay in. The views are spectacular and we spent breakfast time and evenings enjoying looking out. The bedrooms are spacious and it was great that they were all en-suite.
