We stumbled across the field head hotel and I can't rate it high enough. The food was outstanding, the rooms were a good size and very clean with tea and coffee facilities as well as a fridge, iron and hairdryer. The owner could not have been more charming and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone.

Made a spur of the moment decision to go away with the good weather and chose the Fieldhead Hotel in West Looe. Booked directly with the proprietor over the telephone and got the exact room we were looking for. He also gave a discount based on the later season prices.

Location is excellent and the pool and gardens are well kept. The car park is a real bonus for Looe. The walk into town is mostly down hill but steep at the end. If you don't fancy walking back a taxi is only £5. The walk down to Marine Drive is also downhill but not too bad unless you are infirm.

There is no lift and the bar, restaurant and reception are all on the first floor which also requires another flight of steps up from the car park. The pool is another level above that. None of this was a problem for us but it's worth noting if you have difficulties with mobility.

Breakfast starts with an initial buffet of cereals, juices, fruits and other continental fayre. This is followed with tea or coffee then toast and finally a cooked course such as a full English which was cooked freshly for us rather than taken from the hot plate and served. The evening meal offered a good choice and consisted of three courses followed by tea or coffee and mints in the lounge. All was well cooked and presented.

Our room was large and had it's own private terrace. There was plenty of hot water at any time and everything was clean and tidy. The decor was dated but it was in good order and didn't detract from our pleasure at all. We had a Freeview TV and the free wifi connection was just possible.

The proprietor was a smiling, friendly chap who appeared to be everywhere all the time. He would serve you breakfast, drinks at the bar and your evening meal. He was always checking that everything was in order.

In summary we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay and would certainly recommend the hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Looe, especially if the hustle and bustle of the town in summer is not desirable.

If I was pushed to give any negatives I would say we found it difficult to dry the towels when the heating is off and the restaurant might be hot in the summer as it faces the sun for much of the day.

good location for a hotel but not such high standards with regard to room cleaning and preparation.. on arrival we found the bed sheets were ripped and there was an accumulation of mould/debris on the shower head..

i can understand the above comments with regard to the managers 'rudeness' and i think that is demonstrated best with the tone and the attitude of his response!!

We were looking for a comfortable hotel, near the sea, for a short break,which served an evening meal, and catered for a Gluten Free diet
We were not dissapointed with our lucky find at the Fieldhead Hotel

After booking, the owner, Julian, contacted us re our wishes, concerning the diet, and favourite tipple (which he had kindly bought prior to our arrival)

We were made very welcome on arrival, and treated very well throughout our stay.
Our room was spotless, with a lovely sea view. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a good nights sleep
The evening dinner,was served in the Horizon Restaurant, within the hotel, with panoramic sea views. The variety of food, and presentation was excellent, with efficient, friendly service.
Never has my husband had so many Gluten Free dishes to choose from, which were so delicious.
Coffee was served in the very comfortable lounge, where we enjoyed chatting to other guests
.
At breakfast there was such a good choice ,of food.

The photos show it as it is, a very comfortable, well furnished hotel.

We look forward to staying at the Fieldhead Hotel again soon.
Thank you to everyone for making us so welcome.
