    “Really disappointed in our stay and we won’t return.”

    The toilets were a low point both didn’t flush and got blocked up. We raised with the owner they came to look and said they would replace the flush handle and we didn’t see them again. The place is tired and needs updating. The manual for the appliances is out of date so was a guessing game on how to operate. We’ve been holidaying in Looe for 30 years and stayed at the coachman 3 times, last year the toilet problems started and we hoped it would have been addressed but sadly not. We’ve ...

    The toilets were a low point both didn’t flush and got blocked up. We raised with the owner they came to look and said they would replace the flush handle and we didn’t see them again.

We’ve been holidaying in Looe for 30 years and stayed at the coachman 3 times, last year the toilet problems started and we hoped it would have been addressed but sadly not. We’ve been looking at other places for next year and you can get a higher spec place for same price.

    We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at The Coachman. We did send our property manager/maintenance manager straight round to you as soon as we were contacted by yourselves on the bank holiday Sunday . He reviewed the toilet which wasn’t blocked and found the flush was working correctly so informed us that no work was required. We did however find surprisingly that both cottage toilets were blocked by your party on cleaning after your departure. This has never been the case with any other guests. We have only ever had one previous issue with a toilet last year and perhaps this was your group as well? In the last 18 months The Coachman has had a new kitchen fitted and been painted throughout.

About the location

LOOE

Polperro 5 miles.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
