Best Hotels near East Looe Beach, Looe

We stayed for one night in August. The Duke of Cornwall is a historic Victorian building which looks amazing on the outside, it’s a very old hotel so has some querks. There was major external works so scaffolding in place and most of the building was covered in tarpaulin. We booked via a popular ”booking” site for £210 for a family room + our fur baby including breakfast. A Grand staircase leads up to all floors and these are well numbered and easy to find rooms. You can take the lift if you prefer but it is very small and a bit claustrophobic. We were in Room 410 – the room itself was huge, bedroom and bathroom, whilst huge, the room was bit 'tired' but very clean & a modernised bathroom. The bed was VERY comfy and we had a good night’s sleep. Hairdryer supplied in room – handy although it was a typical travel hairdryer so don’t expect too much. The back of the hotel is very different to the front, a bit run-down and in desperate need of sprucing up! Car parking - small car park and situated at the back of the building, with a walkway from the car park leading into the hotel and then down one floor to reception to check in. Bar area = modernised with original features and prices were reasonable. We did request a snack at about 8:30ish and was told to wait as kitchen was still open but no one came to take order - the hotel information stated the restaurant served meals from 7pm until 9:30pm daily so we were a little disappointed that we couldn’t have anything. Breakfast: was served in the bar area as we had taken our fur baby down with us. There was a choice of croissants, cereals, fruit, yoghurt etc. or cooked selection. We opted for bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and mushrooms all ordered from our table and was brought out within 5 minutes – staff were really friendly and attentive. Although the breakfast was fine it seemed expensive for the 3 of us as was £54.00. We had mixed feelings about our stay. The hotel itself is very grand in the public areas but the corridors and rooms need some attention to bring them back up to the grandeur they once were – we would stay again if rooms had an upgrade to match the rest of the hotel.

We headed to Plymouth for a surprise 30th birthday party and booked here as it was near to the venue. The reception staff were great, I received 2 free drinks vouchers which were part of my deal without having to request them. The star of the service staff was the young man, who was new to working the bar (Fri 17th March in the afternoon) He was clearly so passionate about getting everything correct, checking all glasses for marks etc. He is a credit to an employer. The room was spacious and the bed super comfy with loads of pillows. Shower and bathroom were really clean and had good pressure (something I always comment on, as there is nothing worse trying to freshen up under a dribble!) We were only on the 2nd floor but heard no street noise at all. The location is great for the barbican. Only small issue is that the car park is very grotty- but its a typical city centre car park. But its locked at night so fairly safe I would say. Definitely would stay again when we come back.

Fantastic value, superb room, very quiet, lovely staff. Not at all ”stiff” in any way. Very relaxing environment. If you have to get up in the middle of the night to use the toilet, put your foot on the floor and a sensor lights up under the bed and under a shelf in the bedroom, so no stumbling about in the dark, fantastic. Highly recommended.

Just got back from another great stay at the China Fleet Club. My family and I have stayed here on many occasions and I can honestly say we have never had any reason to complain at any time. Accommodation is clean and safe Grounds are great for walking or a round of golf Plenty of things to do with the kids Pool and spa great, especially the spa for the adults Never used the bar bar and restaurant on this occasion but we have in the past and always food very nice and good value for money. We will be back in the near future.

What a great hotel - perfectly positioned for the theatre, restaurants and visiting the city/shops. Handily it also has free parking, first come first served. Our bedroom (we were upgraded on arrival) was very spacious and clean. It was especially nice to have armchairs in the room to make it more comfortable to sit and read without the need to perch on the bed or sit on the dressing table chair. The hotel provides a great choice at breakfast - fruit juice, yogurts, fruit, cereal, croissants etc as well as a great choice of hot options. More importantly to the enjoyment of our stay was that all the staff made us feel really welcome and did everything with genuine smiles. We loved it and will definitely stay here when we visit Plymouth again.

Fantastic 1st holiday with our 19 month old!! Van was immaculate and comfy swimming pool was clean and not overly busy which was great for the little one to splash around and the older 2 (16 and 13) to have a bit of rougher fun up the other end. Sea view from the van I'll certainly miss waking up to. Not too much noise from the neighbours and we even had a friendly Rook greet us every morning. Entertaining the kids is always difficult given their ages and age gap but it was easy here. While little one was running around saying hi to everyone in the club the other boys were either in the sports court or in the arcade. Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much of a bother for them. Looe is a short drive away and pleanty to do there. Will be coming back year after year now!!

Great location. Ample on site car parking. A heated outdoor pool. OK in need of some maintenance but just so welcome. Open early to late. Very helpful staff. Bedrooms are comfortable with all the usual features. Breakfast is very good with plenty of choice. Only two downsides. Firstly the lack of a residents lounge - yes you can use the bar area but that is less than cosy. Secondly although the hotel offers dinner on Weekdays the limited menu is set for the month and frankly the choice is poor. With a bit of thought the hotel could become a destination for meals for locals and guests. The pubs offering good food well cooked were rammed so at this time of the year there is plenty of demand. Special shout out for the reception staff. Friendly and helpful with great knowledge of what the area offered the visitor.
