More about Overdale
Overdale
Located in Looe, this cottage is next to a golf course and on the beach. Polperro Harbour and Kartworld are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Polperro Model Village and Adrenalin Quarry. Port Eliot House and Gardens and Fowey Aquarium are also worth visiting. Just a short distance from a golf course, this pet-friendly cottage lets you experience it all. Your feet will make short work of the 9-minute walk to Looe Beach or the 8-minute walk to Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Looe Station, located within a 5-minute walk of your stay. The kitchen is stocked with a dishwasher and cookware.

Rather disappointing
Overdale sits at a lovely vantage point overlooking the river and a 5 minute walk from the entrance to the harbour. Despite it being on a busy main road the traffic doesn’t cause any disturbance when you are in the accommodation. Unfortunately entering the accommodation is a bit of a slog and one that we hadn’t really been prepared for. On arrival it became apparent that the property sits at the top of a very steep zig zag slope. This property would be unsuitable for anyone who wasn’t very able. The thought of pushing a buggy up the slope wouldn’t be appealing. It took numerous journeys up and down to deposit our luggage into Overdale which was pretty hard work. Luckily there was an empty 1 hour parking space free right outside the beginning of the slope - otherwise luggage would have needed to have been carried additionally across the extremely busy main road as the allocated parking space is in a car park on the other side of the road.
On arriving the lounge was as nice as the photos and the outside terrace a nice addition. However, the dining room and kitchen don’t have the benefit of any great natural light and so are quite dark rooms.
The kitchen felt under equipped for a large group - we were a family of 5. No where near enough plates, cutlery or glasses. The dishwasher was a small one and the sink and draining board also really small. The majority of glasses we used were grubby and needed washing before first use. Only 1 tea towel was left which got wet quickly due to the need to wash up regularly to ensure enough crockery and cutlery. There was a coffee machine but for a particular brand of pods so a cafetière would have been much better. And the cupboards smelt badly of damp which made opening them to get pans out rather unpleasant.
The bedrooms were all nice and had en-suite bathrooms - although there isn’t a bath in the property. The towels that were left were very small and pretty inadequate really and we had to request towels for a room where none had been left. There was also an issue with the shower in the top bathroom - a new door had been fitted and siliconed on the morning we arrived and we were asked not to use it for 24 hours. This was fine but we ended up not using it at all as the smell of the silicone was extremely overpowering and there wasn’t an outside window to open to ventilate the room.
It was a shame that Overdale didn’t meet expectations as we had felt it was going to be a great base for our holiday. The weather was pretty rotten so we were in the property more than we might have been ordinarily - so maybe if we had been there less it wouldn’t have seemed such a let down. But it just felt like it wasn’t suitable for the number of people it’s advertised for. It needs some investment and a bit more thought and higher quality managing. And less sea side Knick knacks. For the money we paid we’ve had much better in Devon - and been greeted with homemade scone and jam etc. It just felt like the extra touches weren’t there and some of the basics were off too.

Wonderful friendly hosts
If it were not for the slightly difficult location Overdale would certainly rate Excellent. But, the elevated position did mean great views.

Lovely B&B, Great view
The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. They also cooked a lovely full english breakfast.
There is a short walk up a steep slope to get to this B&B but it's worth it as this is what makes the view so good.
Very good location
