    Only that I initially had to search for milk sachets

    Lovely accommodation close to town, very informative staff.

    The shower was really small but they're utilising the space they have. It wasn't a powerful shower and went cold a couple of times whilst in there. Not a deal breaker.

    Room is finished tastefully - lovely welcome tray upon arrival. Has everything you need in the room. Location is great. The owners are really lovely. We had an early start so didnt have the breakfast but it looked lovely from what we saw. To have parking was great. Having a self service check-in was really useful as we were out until late in Looe.

    Nothing. Apart from the biblical downpour during the night, but that was quiet exciting!

    A really lovely room with all mod cons in a great location, just by the train station. We chose a continental breakfast but there was so much variety on offer of such great quality that a full English wasn't missed at all. Best of all was the wonderful hostess, who despite juggling managing the property with looking after a newborn child, was one of the friendliest and helpful hosts we have ever met. Thank you!

    We loved everything about the Captain’s House. It’s an easy walk into the town and the rooms were lovely with extremely comfortable beds. Everything is provided including tea/coffee plus some extra treats. There was a great selection for breakfast and it was all really tasty. The staff were friendly/helpful and made us feel very welcome. Parking was also available on site.

    Everything was just perfect. We didn't want for anything.

    The Captains House was just a 10 minute stroll into town and the beach. The B & B has its own parking which was a big bonus for us. The room had everything we needed and was spotless. The host John was great and even left us a mini bottle of prosecco with glasses filled with chocolates and a bottle of water in the room. The complimentary continental breakfast was lovely and it was good to know that there was the option of a cooked breakfast if we had wanted it.

    We loved it all! The breakfast looked beautiful a great variety but unfortunately I struggle to eat with people I don't know and the breakfast is seated as a large table for all guests. However don't let that put you off! It really did look beautiful & I honestly can't give a single negative about this place!

    The accommodation was beautiful, the bedroom was modern and very pretty! It had everything you could possibly need for your stay! down to shower caps and a sewing kit! The bottle of prosecco and chocolates on arrival was a lovely touch! Kathryn and Richard couldn't do enough for you, so warm and welcoming and genuinely lovely people! We had an amazing stay for our honeymoon and we would definitely recommend it to family and friends! The destination is perfect too, we are new to Cornwall holidays and wow what have we been missing! The captains house is a perfect location, a short walk into Looe and the train station is only at the bottom of the street if you're traveling via train or don't fancy driving to visit other destinations. we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we are hoping to be back soon!

    Be aware there isn't a lift, so if you have trouble climbing stairs, you may want to think about staying here.

    Close to shops, pubs and amenities. Easy drive to the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Lanhydrock. Kathryn the owner was brilliant. So full of fun and nothing was too much trouble. .Would definitely recommend
