We had a really enjoyable family stay at Lindos. It is nicely situated just outside of Looe town and has the most wonderful views over the East Looe River. Lots of separate family spaces and well balance bedrooms, especially the master suite with balcony. Logistically and practically not a house for everyone, but so worth it for the views, quality Read moreand space. Hide

Sadly for us this was not and enjoyable stay. The house was not clean. The bed linen smelt bad. The sofa gap was absolutely disgusting. The glass gate at the top of the stairs to the patio is an extremely dangerous and not well thought out design. Had I of fully understood the set up I would not have rented this house. I genuinely do not think thiRead mores house makes a good holiday let for this reason. People trying to juggle shopping - children - dogs - buggy - beach stuff are at risk of falling. The steps are steep and the treads are short. The gate swings closed on you (I guess a safety measure to keep children and dogs on the patio) but it ends up pushing onto you whilst either trying to get up - or it swings on you whilst trying to get down. Either way you end up getting pushed onto the steps. It also has an awkward catch pin you have to fiddle and pull out to open the gate - whilst juggling holiday life. Added to the fact it is a glass gate so a little weighty to add to everything else. This is literally an insurance claim waiting to happen. I have now put this in writing and verbally to holiday cottages. There is parking for the house - but be aware it is a pull in on the tight road into Looe. You get straight out your car into the road. You have to cross the road into the small wooden gate at the bottom of the stairs leading to the patio. You cannot open the bottom gate fully as the bin is there. Again this is not adequate if you are trying to juggle pets and children. You have to filter the family from the car to the stairs one by one. Coming out of the bottom gate is a blind bend. The owners have put up a mirror, but it can only see a little way as the road bends around the property fronts so visibility coming back to your car is not good. The house was a huge disappointment to us - as we were trying to escape home life due to a family bereavement. Holiday cottage did offer to come in and clean. It due to our personal circumstances we did not want to disturb the family further so opted to ride it out. Also please be aware this house has a 9am kick out (not the usual 10am - sometime midday - we were used to) and the cleaners (the irony) turned up at 9.05 wanting access to the house. I would not recommend this house as a holiday let, primarily for families or people with dogs, as I feel the access to it is extremely dangerous. It is a accident waiting to happen. However on a positive note - Looe as always was lovely. People friendly, views amazing, walks, food, weather helped to make the holiday away the from house all that we wanted. Thank you Looe! Hide

Fantastic location with the most incredible views. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us with everything we needed. The house is well equipped with plenty of glasses, crockery, pans etc.

Fabulous stay at Lindos and we felt we could have been in Greece with the sun filled decking area which catches the afternoon and evening sun. There are lots of steps up to the house but this means you get wonderful views of the river and youre high above the road. The house seems to have had a recent refurbishment and it is clean, modern and comRead morefortable, with a well equipped kitchen. Lovely room with balcony and en suite on the top floor. Looe is a short walk along quite a busy road. Hide

The property in its self was very nice. Access into the property is ok if your an experienced mountain climber, very steep flight of stairs. Which is not a welcoming sight or something to look forward to, leaving, returning to the property if you are in any form disabled, older, infirmed, unfit. Sadly this is not outlined in the promotion of this Read moreproperty. Misleading to say the least. Picture make it look like its on the flat. Due to this, as we are all late 60's early 70's we found ourselves staying in. We would not recommend this property unless they have had SAS training. Therefore we think it was not value for money and would not recommend. This will be the review we will be sharing. Leaking radiator in top bedroom. Hide

A great, spacious property which is equipped to a high standard. Just need to be aware that there is currently a building site next door to the property Very close to the town of Looe but not an easy walk along the road from the property until you reach the safety of the footpath
