Lovely 2 night stay in Looe. Room was spacious and having parking was an added bonus. Really good breakfast. Would definitely stay again when I next visit Looe.

Amazing
We had an amazing stay in Sawyers. Everything is beyond our expectation. Room is spacious, clean and newly renovated. Beds are really comfy. Shower is great, water is strong and easy to change temperature. Breakfast is nice and portion is huge. Location is great, we can see the sea right in front of our room. Parking is on site and free of charge. Can't complain anything.

Loved the sunrise view
Nice pleasant stay in a large ground floor room that had plenty of space and a view that overlooked the sea with its lovely sunrise. Although the view was a little obscured by cars parked directly outside, we knew that beforehand so it made no difference. Breakfast was lovely, as were the friendly hosts Ken and Tracy. Having the beach just across the road was brilliant and it provided lovely walks by the sea. It's around a 20 minute walk into East Looe with a small hill. Would definitely stay there again if going to Looe in the future.

Great location, lovely rooms, fab breakfast.
Just spent 4 nights at Sawyers, room and en suite were lovely, spacious and very clean. The location was great, a short walk into town for shopping and pubs but with the bonus of being lovely and quiet and away from the crowds. There is a small shingle and sand beach just over the road and easy access to the South West Coastal Path. Tracey and Ken were great hosts and they offer a lush cooked breakfast to set you up for the day. Parking for guests is massive bonus. Would definitely return!

Disliked: Amenities
Advertised as having a bar -there isn't. It used to be a pub. Website outdated/misleading. Everyone apart from one room, has to go outside to get into the building for breakfast! Sold a room with a seaview; we didn't get one. Were in a building round the corner, that had apparently been sold; Sub-letting? Curtains hanging off rails, net curtain hanging, door lock damaged and extremely difficult to lock/unlock. Carpet uneven throughout. No biscuits, bottled water, sanitary waste bags or toiletries - apart from 2 miniature soaps. No fruit or yogurt at breakfasts, supermarket eggs, for the first week, no demarcation between the whites and the yolks. Sausage had gristle in. The bathroom plumbing was a joke. The hand basin outlet was into the shower tray! Toilet seat was hanging off, and we had to ask for it to be repaired/replaced. It was replaced about 3 days later. Not much bathroom cleaning done either, certainly not every day, a couple of times the bed wasn't made. No hot water after day one, had to ask for it to be put on. Most days the 2 glasses weren't replaced. Once the dirty teacups were left. They asked for towels to be put into shower tray if we wanted clean ones. One day we got back and the dirty towel was still there. The only wall hooks in the building were 2 over the towel rail. Nowhere to hang wet coats. One wardrobe, 6 hangers for 2 people. We had 10 nights here, for £950, and they changed the bed once.

The thing that we liked most was the room having furniture in as most b&bs only have a bed and maybe 2 hard backed chairrs, here we we had an armchair and a 2 seater sofa, so felt more like an apartment, plus we had our own entrance so completely seperate to other guests. Ken and Tracey were brilliant hosts and nothing was too much trouble.

Looe mini break
Very friendly couple and nice clean room thou no hot water but problem was sorted out quickly. Good breakfast,but no real bar area and they don’t take cards only cash or bank transfer. Tv had free view only, a DVD player would have been good and for the price of the room ( £95 per night )we were expecting a little fridge and some toiletries in bathroom but there wasn’t either unfortunately. Good location for us but not if your senior as steep hill. Spectacular views of the coast.

We didn’t want to leave!
A fabulous b&b situated on the clifftops of a beautiful, Cornish town. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are fabulous, all with an amazing sea view. We stayed on Easter Bank Holiday when the weather was incredible. It’s about 5-10 minute walk into the centre of Looe. Do not hesitate to book here, you won’t be disappointed

Location is great! Breakfast is good. Did have a smell of damp in room like what the other reviewer did say, i should have taken notice. And that rug in the room is so filthy that i asked my daughter to ensure she wears footwear when walking about in room. Hot water doesnt stay hot for too long. Toilet floor was already dirty on our first day. Only soap is supplied-no shampoo. Beds not made everyday eventhough they have been in the room to replenish dirty towels. For the amount i paid for the room, its definitely not worth it. And its a 20minute steep walk to east looe where all the shops are and where you can get one of the best pasty and fish n chips. So guys its up to you like what i said earlier ,I should have taken notice of previous reviews. My fault!

Wonderful stay!
The hotel overlooks a stunning view of the sea and we were able to sit and have tea outside our room and look out on the pretty view. The staff are so welcoming and can't do enough for you. I found the rooms very comfortable, quaint and homely. The breakfast was lovely and was served with a smile. We were very happy with our stay and will be coming back again!

Excellent location - walking distance to town
Sawyers has an ideal location. It overlooks the bay & harbor mouth. It is a good but pleasant walk to the town - shops and restaurants. Internet was not available in all the rooms. This should be addressed.

Very unpleasant room
We were shown to our room and the first thing that hit us was the smell , a musty damp smell that seemed to have had an attempt to conceal the smell with some sort of product . The room had dated decor and the door at the front had a gap of half an inch at the bottom when closed . Damp patches on the outside walls and it was cold . The owner turned on the air conditioning and said it would soon warm up , we dropped off our bags and went out for the afternoon. On our return that evening the room was still cold and smelly but we decided it was too late to go elsewhere, a very noisy night residents using the hallway all evening and even one very noisily at 5 30 am . Also every time someone used the hot water , the tank which was hidden behind a louvre door in the room , rattled loudly for a minute or two . The final straw came when I raised the blind in the bathroom the next morning , there was a big black mould covering half the window , it was disgusting and the owners must have seen it and hidden it under the blind hoping it wouldn't be seen . We packed up and left when we told the lady we were leaving a day early and asked for a refund she said bluntly that it wasn't cancellation policy . There were no attempt to solve the problem or any apologies. Enough was enough and we left and found another hotel down the road . I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone ! It's very tired and dated and there is little effort on rectifying the problems . Go somewhere else !!
