I refer to the review posted by Adrian B. Wow, four middle aged professionals go mad in Looe!!, either the proprietor has a very furtive imagination, or they simply do not take kindly to criticism, because their feedback is totally fabricated. The facts are that the four of us had dinner at the Squid Ink (which we told the proprietors... More

We have just spent a very delightful 5 days at this hotel. The food was fantastic the rooms very clean and spacious and the breath taking views out of this world. The hospitality shown by both Lorraine ad Elsie made you feel at home, there was nothing to much trouble, they were always there to help. This was our first... More

Four of us had a fantastic 3 night stay at The Gulls over New Year. The atmosphere was great and we enjoyed every minute. The view of the New Year fireworks was amazing, we would recommend Looe at New Year to everyone. We loved staying at The Gulls, the rooms were great, company was good and the breakfasts were excellent,... More

We have just got back from a 2 night stay in Looe for a friends wedding, the location and weather couldn’t have been more perfect! Four couples stayed at The Gulls for two nights and we were impressed with the location, decor and comfort of the rooms. The only let down was when we returned to the hotel after the... More

Thank you very much for your review following your short stay in Looe. We really did enjoy looking after you and your party. I knew that you would all be coming back late from the wedding it is only to be expected. When you say it was “understandably quite late” it was actually 3 o’clock in the morning. You all... More

We spent 2 nights in February 2013. Our room was clean, comfortable and the views superb. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant stay was ruined by the ungracious attitude of one of the proprietors, and the ever present cats in the public areas of the hotel. Our polite request for more toast on the first morning was met with... More

Dear Adrian B Thank you very much for your review following your two night stay, we were very pleased that you found the room clean and comfortable and that you enjoyed the views. At breakfast service we always check with guests if they would like any more tea, coffee or, indeed toast. Maybe the server was a little taken aback... More

My clients stayed here for 3 nights in early December as an alternate recommendation to the Watermark which was under renovation! One needs to be quite active to walk the ramp up to this B&B, But at the end of the 100 yard ramp there is a reward well worth the walk! Lorraine and her Mother Elsie run this very... More

We have stayed at the Gulls for many years now after staying elsewhere in Looe this is by far the best place we have ever stayed. Lorraine and Elsie make us more than welcome every time we come to Looe (at least four times a year). The views alone are more than worth the money but clean spacious rooms with... More

My wife, three children and I just returned from a nine-day stint on Looe and Polperro. The last two nights were spent booked in at The Gulls. While you cannot control the English weather, you certainly can control where you stay, and The Gulls was nothing short of splendid in nearly every conceivable way. IGNORE the needlessly negative reviews on... More
