Customer reviews of Haven House
This is the perfect house for a stay in Looe. The owner has thought of everything you will need. The road to the house is narrow but even with a large car this wasn't a problem. A very enjoyable stay, we would definitely book again.
Sunny - 29/08/2020
Very nice house. modern, clean with everything to hand for cooking meals. light with good views. The first bedroom could do with darker heavy curtains to block out light but no other reservation.
