The cottage is lovely and so well appointed in such a tiny space, also so well placed for beach and town as well. There were a few tears when J had to leave the sea gull on her bed, she had become very attached to it! Thank you also for the crab nets over 2 days O and J caught over 90 crabs, an occupation which is just as good in the rain as in the sun! Overall it was a very successful holiday and we would thoroughly recommend Tuc-Tin to anyone

Hi Cris, just a short note to say thank you for making Tuc-Tin the perfect place to stay in Looe. We all had a wonderful relaxing holiday. Everything was just brilliant, once again many thanks.

Just a few days to get Tuc-Tin in order for our lovely holidays. Dinner at Little Pizza House - long long wait but pizza good and inexpensive. Morrels Bistro - fantastic value roast - excellent service. Long sun burnt walk to Talland Bay - glorious and chocolate brownie at the cafe there. It's been fantastic sunshine our whole 4 days, 08 tan well underway! Have fun ... Cris & Paul

Hello, we had a really wonderful time here at Tuc-Tin. After a long trip, we drove 200km, we arrived last Saturday. On Sunday we took some rest, stayed in Looe, went to the beach. Famke and Sara my two girls went into the water. Brrr, too cold for me, but they had a great time. Monday we went to Tintagel to see Arthurs's Castle. Tuesday to the Eden Project! Wednesday the weather wasn't very nice, but we went to the beach to search for shells, Famke found a really nice big one. Today, Thursday, the weather was lovely so we walked to Polperro. Beautiful walk. My dad liked it very much but not to walk back so we took the bus. Sadly we have to leave tomorrow. We are going to "our" second cottage, in Mousehole. We hope that cottage is as lovely as this one. The beds were great and we all slept very well. We loved everything about Tuc-Tin and will tell our friends and family about it. Maybe more Dutch folk will like to come here then, many Greetings. Gertruud

Great place, all had a wonderful time. We went crabbing several times. The catch was very good, 100 in one trip! The weather has been fine but very windy. The pasty shop (at the end of the road) sells excellent carrot cake. All in all a great time at Tuc-Tin. The Evans Family

We all had a lovely time. We went to the beach which was great! We enjoyed lots of ice creams and pasties yum! My favourite part was going ice skating at the Eden Project. Trethorne Park and Farm was really fun. I bottle fed a lamb for the first time and held some rabbits. We went in the sea once but it was freezing!!! Nathan and Tad built lots of sandcastles and we played bowls on the beach. We loved the cottage and hope to come again. Joss, Meg, Nathan, Ruth, Ted xxxx

Arrived on a wet and miserable Saturday - not a good start! However one we stepped into Tuc-Tin things started to look up! Cottage perfect - everything we needed including welcome card, biscuits and wine - very much appreciated, thank you. Looe is a lovely wee spot - just what we needed to relax and unwind. Really enjoyed short boat trip between East and West Looe and walks around Hannafore. Went to Eden Project - excellent well worth seeing. Really enjoyed Polperro - recommend for a visit. Enjoyed eating at Smugglers Cott, Archies and a pub called Finglegoon in Downderry, had a wonderful Sunday lunch there. Enjoyed a trip to Plymouth to see a relative. Had a first rate meal at a restaurant called Lamplighter in Probus (between St Austel and Truro - about 50 mins journey) can thoroughly recommend the journey as the meal was unbelievable - mentioned in the Times and meal vouchers can be used for 3 course meal for £10! Weather has been great, particularly Thursday - we got sunburnt and husband and brother went for a couple of swims! We paddled! Men golfed at Looe golf club £35 green fees including hire of clubs and shoes. Beautiful course. Croissants and pasties from various bakeries - delicious. Food shops really handy. Went shopping to Liskeard - not recommended : more shops in Looe! Got used to seagulls after first night/morning! Cornish people very friendly - definitely will be back. Cottage ideal - especially the bathroom, will certainly recommend to friends. Roll on another trip to Looe, sorry to be leaving. Directions to cottage could be clearer ... (Cris now sends a map of town roads with confirmation ... see, all comments welcomed!)

Lovely cottage, a home from home. Have done lots of walking, crabbing unsuccessful! Weather mainly good. Enjoyed meals at the Sail Boat and Little Pizza shop - both v good. Thank you.

In Cornwall it's lovely. The sun has been out and the sea has been smooth but sadly we are leaving. But I've had so much fun in Cornwall and I've had a great time in Tuc-Tin from Ashley and Diane. (Nice pictures of sunshine included in book) It was great in Cornwall and a really nice cottage. Thank you very much! Harry (nice picture of boat and sunshine, thanks Harry)

Lovely Cottage. Sun Eve - walk around deserted Looe. Monday - coastal walk to Polperro. Tuesday - coastal walk to Seaton beach to Millendreath then coastal path. Wednesday - river walk along West Looe River to Muchlarnch. We've had dry sunny weather, a real bonus for February. We've managed three long walks without having to use the car. Ate out at Smugglers Cott but Papa Ninos and Tapas bar which seems to be recommended were closed. We decided this was a very good time of year to visit. The huge car park suggests it gets very busy in the summer and we are not good with crowds. Loved the alleyways around Tuc-Tin. Thanks, Liz, George, Tom and Natalie

What a fantastic cottage! We have had a fabulous time staying at Tuc-Tin. Hope to visit again in the future. Many thanks.

(email) Just a quick message to say we had a great break at Tuc-Tin and hope time permits us to stay again some time.

Cornwall in January has been wonderful. We know the cottage would be lovely having stayed in your cottage in Golant. Trawlers was booked solid Saturday night, Tapas bar closed until Feb so we ate in the Old Sail Loft 30 seconds walk from the front door. Food was good and restaurant lovely. Also managed visit to Seaton. Wonderful walk on the beach to Downderry. A wonderful short break, many thanks. PS Cottage lovely and warm!

What a wonderful way to start the New Year! We have had several very relaxing days here at Tuc-Tin. We can heartily recommend lunch at the Rod & Line pub at Tideford on the A38 on the way from or to the M5. They do excellent fresh crab claws with chilli sauce and scallops with garlic butter. We thought 'Ye Olde Salutation' the best pub in Looe (although did not eat there). Bought excellent mixed crab and also a crab, lobster and prawn terrine from Pengellys on the Quay behind the tourist information office, which made very fine sandwiches indeed. Went to the Camel Valley vineyard - beautiful setting. Imagine that in finer weather the tour would have been excellent and that enjoying a tasting session on their sun terrace would be v enjoyable. Given the cold and wet January weather we made do with an extremely fine bottle of their 'Pinot Noir 2005' recommended highly by us and Oz Clark! We enjoyed ours with fine Cornish Pasties - a combination worthy of the wine officianadoes film 'Sideways'! We enjoyed Padstow and had excellent fish and chips at Rick Stein's chippie. Enjoyed hearty walks on the SW coastal path at Padstow - luxuriating on empty sandy beaches and played skimming stones making wishes for 2008. Another great walk in the blustery January wind and freezing rain was from here to Polperro and we only turned back when the wind threatened to topple us. Definitely feel that we have blown out the cobwebs. Rather thankful for a ferry ride back to East Looe! One of my favourite moments was sinking into a hot bath after the walk to read a crime novel and listen to the now very heavy rain lash against the windows - bliss! We have also greatly enjoyed watching reports of the US election. We had a lovely meal at Papa Ninos last night and both had spagetti with scallops (Cris's favourite - they obviously didn't know this at the time, I'm adding that bit as I put this on our website!!!!) which was very good indeed. We think that Tuc-Tin makes for the perfect winter bolt hole - very warm and cosy and exceedingly comfortable - and with no chinz in sight! Wishing all future guests as good a stay as we have enjoyed! Best wishes.

Had a great couple of nights in your lovely cottage. New Year's Eve was 'rocking'. Don't forget your fancy dress if you come next New Year!

We had a lovely time in Tuc-Tin. We recommend the leisure center at Liskeard and we liked the swimming pool for rainy days. We enjoyed crabbing and got 67 crabs and they had a race down the ramp. We had a lovely time at the beach. (Ages 8, 5 and 4).

A lovely little cottage, beautifully renovated; we all 'tucked in' quite nicely! We've had fabulous weather for the time of year and have visited Polperro, Fowey and the Eden Project. The children loved the beach in Looe, great for cricket, football and sand castles. Lots of lovely little shops to browse in and 'The Ship' became a firm family favourite.

Much thought, imagination and hard work went into the renovation and furnishing of Tuc-Tin, lovely curtains, congratulations. Enjoyed the holiday and go some painting in!

The four of us have felt like the Famous Five as we've toured the area, we just needed a dog! We'd heartily recommend the tapas restaurant (very good service - though you'll need to book and ask for a table inside!) Mackerel fishing with Dave is also a must. We caught around 30 fish - certainly a productive couple of hours. The coastal path walk to Polperro is good and we've all caught the sun even in October! Overall a great long weekend, a time in which we've rested, played and walked heartily! Now for another glass of rose`!

You have a really lovely cottage which we really enjoyed our stay in. Sunday - Walked from Looe to Polperro and back along the coastal path. Very nice pub called the Blue Peter (in Polperro). Monday -Wandered around Looe, nice walk along the beach and rock pools. Tuesday - Walked from Tintagel to Boscastle and back via St Nectan's Glen, the water fall was lovely. Wednesday - Back to Polperro by car. Very nice fudge from the Cornish Maids shop, the coffee shop next door is really good too! Thursday - Trip down to West Cornwall to the beach at Porthcurno and St Ives. Well worth the trip. Go to the Sea Food Cafe on Fore Street, you might want to book, we were lucky to get a table. Friday - We've been to Mevagissey which wasn't that brilliant - no sun today either. Then we went to Polruan which was lovely. Fish and chips from Kelly's in Looe was really good. Fresh fish from the Quay side is very good. The Grapevine has a lovely setting and the food was really nice too. No problems with the seagulls. Lovely weather all week. (Cambridge)

Thanks so much, really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Visited the Eden Pro, spose that's a must, but for shopping you girls need to get hubby to take you to the center of Plymouth - 5 star. Tuc-Tin was so handy for everything, shops, food, beach. Ideal for us blue badge holders.

We've had a lovely fortnight in a lovely cottage in a lovely resort. Tuc-Tin is really comfy and cosy, and well equipped. The boys enjoyed crabbing but didn't get near the previous record. The weather perked up and it felt more like the Mediterranean than England! The pasty shop (blue doors) is definitely the best for pasties and we can recommend the eateries in town. We look forward to a return trip.

We had another wonderful stay at Tuc-Tin. The weather wasn't great but we still round plenty of things to do. As always the week went by too quickly. PS love the new picture in the lounge!

Thank you! We really enjoyed our stay. We didn't go crab fishing but when we went rock pooling we caught 2 or 3! Lansallos cove was great for body boarding. The views from the coast path were really great as well.

It was such a lovely surprise from my husbands son and his family for both of us - to stay in your lovely cottage. It felt like home, very welcoming, you really put your hearts into it. And it was an unforgettable week, walks around, taking a boat trip, spending some time on the beach and we took an opportunity to visit the Lands and it was breathtaking. Tomorrow we are going home but tonight we went out and had a glass of champagne under the full moon and a sky full of stars. We light a candle in our hearts and we said thank you and wish you all the best - lots of nice visitors. The memories will stay with us and we will miss being next to the sea and the sea gulls too! I really hope we will come back one day. Thank you very much (Rugby) PS 37 crabs not bad for a first time in only 45 minutes!

We had a wonderful week at Tuc-Tin, truly a nice and well equipped cottage. We've been to St Ives, Fowey, Polperro, the Monkey Sanctuary, the Tesco at St Austell and even West Looe! Had a lot of English food and so we can recommend Deckers and the Kernow Cafe. Can't really recommend the Ship Inn and the Golden Bowl takeaway. We would all love to come back some day! (family from Germany).

Dear Visitors, yes it's us again, just coming to check out Tuc-Tin and make sure everything is ok for the summer which is now fully booked - thank you. The forecast is for 3 days of heavy rain and our first day has been glorious sunshine - we are stunned. We spent the day on the lovely beach here and walked on the beach almost to Seaton at low tide, fabulous.

We loved the cottage, it is cosy but we all felt at home and two boys over 6' but we still fitted in! The weather was mixed but we still had a great time and will recommend Looe and Tuc-Tin to our friends. Highlights of the week included a visit to the Eden Project and fab tapas at Lascares, Coastal walks and Polperro. Word of caution - Papa Ninos is lovely but cheque or cash only - no cards. Crabbing is great fun even in pouring rain!! Hope you all have as much fun as we did.

To Chris & Paul, To start - Looe is so completely diff to Guiting! Day One pm, arrived. Had some late crab catching and booked to eat in the Bywater, around the corner - it was lovely. Day Two - Decided to walk to Monkey Sanctuary in 'no mans land' - This is where we shouldn't have listened to local directions! As it began to rain, thunder and hale ... we called for a taxi when we were soaked to the skin. A very friendly firm. Got back, changed, and went back in car, seeing monkeys was great. Last Day - Eden Project, great experience - even convinced Phil into green houses! Going home and you were right Chris, we should have done a week. Crab catching H = 26, P = 14, not as good as past pages!

Cris & Paul, cute little place! Fab shower after sweating it out zonking down the M5, well equipped and cosy. it was great being so close to the sea. We parked in Looe @ the top of the hill so thighs firm and bums toned!! We can't vouch for any of the restaurants as we're ones for cooking, but the parents took us out near Noss Mayo to a fab place, The Seafood Restaurant. Yealmpton. Worth a visit if you enjoy a palette sensation or two (The brill was brill). Walk to Polperro great, tandems fun in Padstow on Camel Trail - och and the fudge - the FUDGE!! A spud gun to shoot the loud seagulls kept on the bedside table would be useful. We had great hols!! Shame it was only a week! Thanks and God bless.

To Chris and Paul, Having a wonderful break at your cosy cottage. Crabbing was great and the ice-cream is lovely! Weather is good and the beach is beautiful. we've been to Jamaica Inn, Lanhydrock and Polperro! it was great in Looe. Thanks again.

Thank you for a most enjoyable week over Easter at Tuc-Tin. We found it furnished to a very high standard and it was most comfortable. We also enjoyed the tray of Easter delights that you had left out for us. The weather was glorious and we enjoyed discovering that bit of Cornwall. Our only regret is that we did not find Polperro until the penultimate evening, so another trip is definitely needed! Best wishes.

Dear Cris & Paul, We had a great time staying in Tuc-Tin. The beach was really fun, the sea was very cold but we still went in. We made sandcastles and buried Billy in the sand! We recommend all the pasty shops, they do really nice cakes and pasties. The arcades were also fun but we didn't really win anything! We had a day out on Sunday, we went to the monkey sanctuary. I would recommend it for a fab day out. xxx

A winter break is a must. No crowds and virtually car free roads. Weather has been wonderful apart from storm and tempest on first Sunday. We have explored coast line right up to Rame Head and walked across to the little chapel, what a view! Try visiting Port Wrinkle, Downderry and Seaton. Also there is a lovely short walk from Looe to Plaidy. If you visit Fowey, go for a coffee and 'do-nut' at Pinky Murphy's a really quirky place! You will also receive a warm welcome from Harry and Karen who run the kitchen in Polperro. Thank you for letting us use Tuc-Tin. A beautiful seaside cottage - all we could wish for. (Gloucestershire).

This was a surprise for my birthday from my boyfriend. What a lovely surprise and lovely cottage. We loved our stay! the cottage is just as it should be! We had a great meal on a Saturday at the tapas bar - a great walk on Sunday - go West on the coast path not east - much prettier! Thank you! We will be back I hope ! Best wishes x
