A very pleasant 6 day stay. Julian and his staff were incredibly attentive. The view from our room was spectacular, and the food in the restaurant was wonderful. We enjoyed being able to walk into Looe for sightseeing. We had a very relaxing, enjoyable time and will return. more

Hello fishingnm, Thank you so much for your review of The Fieldhead and generous compliments. TA have yet to publish a review that makes sense of my Marmite test comment, but it seems we are the Marmite of the English Hotel Industry. Thank you for liking Marmite and thank you for anticipating being a very valued returning guest. Till then...

This hotel is so good - the comfort, the food, the relaxed atmosphere, and most of all the amazing views - we cannot reccommend it highly enough. It really does deserve another star, at least. We shall be returning as soon as we can! more

Dear margoWestOfEngland, Brief, positive, to the point and gratefully received and acknowledged by us all at The Fieldhead Hotel. It seems we passed the Marmite test. Thank you for caring enough to write your positive feelings about us on TripAdvisor. I cannot tell you how much it lifts our spirits and spur us on to better ourselves. Very best wishes,...

Pretentious, but poor, food, poor service, great views, average rooms, high prices. All this and the ghost of Basil Fawlty. more

Dear Georgian92 What an amazing day it has been: The Pollards left after their 4th stay this year. Room 7 came to ask if she can extend her stay for 2 more days. Room 15 – the one with the dirt at the back of the U-Bend and when you pull the shower off the wall, there is mildew behind...

My husband and I have just spent a week at the Fieldhead for our Wedding Anniversary. We had a lovely stay and will definitely return in the future. Nothing was too much trouble for Julien and the staff and I must admit we felt very at home here. The rooms were comfortable, we did treat ourselves to a superior room... more

Dear Jonjudy, Absolutely charming. Thank you. What a lovely, thoughtful and comprehensive review. You too stayed for 6 days, tested all the facilities and I it looks like we passed the Fieldhead Hotel Marmite test hahaha No Basil Fawltys here then? Not even a Manuel? Maybe just an under taker, not and over taker. I know Chef was particularly delighted...

Thanks Julian and your staff for our accommodation for 6 great days in Looe. We were a little apprehensive due to a couple of poor reviews of The Fieldhead Hotel but can only conclude that the contributors must have been staying in some other establishment because we found the hotel excellent in ALL respects, way above it's 2 star rating.... more

Dear Locketier, What I particularly value about your review is that you are not just a one night stop and then critical (such as the Reviewer who stayed in Room 2 for one night and said they could not see the sea (was that one of those you asked if they were staying at another hotel?) As one can see...

We booked this hotel but on arrival recieved some awful news about a member of our family and had to return home immediately. We were charged the full amount for our stay and we did not even see the room! Unfortunately our insurance (as most0 only coovers parents children siblings nor aunts or other close family. When Julian says that... more

Dear BarnabyTraveller, Thank you for your TripAdvisor Review. [Unfortunately our insurance (as most only covers parents children siblings nor aunts or other close family.] So you checked with your insurance, discovered they opted out of their responsibilities (or that you bought a load of exclusions rather than inclusions) as they always seem to and then complain about the hotel’s cancellation...

I found this hotel very dissapointing. Starting with a very steep flight of stairs to an unmanned reception. My husband had to phone the manager to advise him of our arrival. The room we had looked tired and the bathroom was dark. In the bathroom the fan had been switched off and the shower control came off in my hand... more

Dear phone00, Thank you for taking the time to write your review of the Fieldhead Hotel in Looe. [I found this hotel very disappointing. Starting with a very steep flight of stairs] The building was built in 1892 and to get from one floor to another, they cleverly and uniquely put in a staircase. I am not sure they can...

The reason we chose to stay at the Fieldhead Hotel was for a special treat and birthday celebration for my husband. I'd checked out many of the hotels in and around Looe and we have been to this wonderful area many times. The Fieldhead stood out mainly because of it's lovely position and I then proceeded to read through the... more

A note to Julian and his crew.... thank you so much for making us feel most welcomed... you run a most relaxing and enjoyable establishment. From the moment we walked in - we were greeted upon arrival and shown our rooms... whereupon we relaxed by the pool...nicely heated. Great breakfasts - a huge choice and really scrumptious. Again... thank you... more

Dear jacqsprat42, I cannot tell you how delighted I was to read your review of the Fieldhead Hotel. As you can imagine, it is very demoralising, personally and for the staff, to receive negative reviews (when we all strive to do our best) and we have had a couple of those recently (or should I say, from 4 Summers ago)...

Although it was quite a while ago, I feel the need to suport the claims from the recent guests. We stayed at the Fieldhead many times before the present owners took over. We always enjoyed our stay there until this last time. The new owners have spoilt everything that was good there by serving cheap rubbish food. I agree that... more
