• "The cottage is lovely but a few issues, the mattress on double bed sinks to the centre, bedroom doors rattle if you leave the bathroom window open, the seal on the bottom of the shower screen needs to be changed as it really isn’t good, apart from that you have everything you need for a great stay and thank you for turning the heating down, we stayed in 2022 and did say then that we would be back, it a lovely cottage and a fantastic location, thank you."

  Thank you for your very useful feedback. We will try and address the problems you mentioned during our spring maintenance in 2025. A good night’s sleep is so important. I am glad you had a really good holiday and maybe we’ll see you again. Property Owner

• "A lovely little find right by the sea."

  Slyvia’s cottage is very homely with all the necessary equipment you need for a comfortable stay. Beds and sofas were comfy. The place is literally 2 mins walk to the beach. There is a fish and chip shop, small convenience store that sells amazing fresh cakes as well as a cafe/bar. Perfect getaway to unwind

  Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. I am so glad you had a good holiday in Honeysuckle. Sylvia Property Owner

• "Honeysuckle Cottage is in the perfect location for a beach holiday."

  A local shop that is like an Aladdins cave is just a short walk away. Next door to the shop is the pub a directly opposite is the chippy. At the end of the road is the beach , perfect! The cottage is very comfortable, and weather permitting there is a small patio in front of the cottage where you can sit and watch the world go by. The owners are ver approachable and happy to solve any problems that might arise. We visit every year and are never disappointed.

  Thank you for that lovely feedback. It was really good to meet you at last and I am so glad you again enjoyed a holiday at Honeysuckle. Property Owner

• "The cottage was lovely, quiet and well equipped and literally 2 minutes from the beach."

  I think it needed a mattress cover/topper on the double bed and a thicker duvet would have been great as the weather was cold. There was quite a lot of dust and cobwebs and the dish drainer was quite dirty. Also the toilet seat was very loose but nevertheless a lovely place to stay and would go back again

  I am so glad you enjoyed your stay in Honeysuckle and its facilities during a week when the weather was unseasonably cold. Thank you for your constructive comments which we will address forthwith. Property Owner

  The cottage was clean, had all the facilities, the main problem we had was the intermittant internet which we gave up on for the last few days. However this would not stop us from booking again if there was a space.

  Thank you for your positive feed back and I am glad you had a good time. There had been a problem recently with the external box which Bt reported rectified and it seems fine now so I apologise that you were inconvenienced and hope all be fine for your next visit. Property Owner

  The cottage is perfectly situated for the beach and village facilities. It is a comfortable cottage for 2 or 4 with plenty of home comforts. The private patio area at the front of the cottage is a bonus, especially for evenings spent outdoors, and the parking area so convenient. We spend a week at Honeysuckle every year and hope to return in 2024.

  A bonus to have a parking space.Cottage is well equipped but a little dated,was musty when we first arrived probably because hadn’t been rented for a while,we managed to air it out.Weather was awful but we manage some decent walks and garden visits.Thanks for the Prosecco.

• "Sadly the property is in need of a good overhaul, looking tired and furniture dated and passed its best."

  Bedside drawers gone through varnish to wood and look poor. Whole house smelled of damp. Perhaps good airing, tried to do that but affecting wife’s asthma. No rear garden so chairs close to road in small area. Television temperamental continually no sound on most channels , needing channel hopping to reset sound, which was too weak, volume limited, so if boiling kettle etc. inaudible. Sad could be nice property if updated

  Thank you for your feed back which we do appreciate and as a result we have now put in a new smart Television and continued to upgrade the property including replacing the bed room furniture as you suggested. Property Owner

  Excellent location,well equipped cottage, sadly let down by the cleaners. The problems we encountered were sorted immediately by the owners who are extremely friendly and very approachable. We have been holidaying at Honeysuckle every July for sometime now, but sadly the hearty price increase for next year is too steep for us so we won’t be able to return.

  Many thanks for your feedback. We enjoyed having you at our property as always and would like to reassure you that the price has not increased for next year. For the same dates that you visited this year it is in fact cheaper. Please feel free to contact us if you would like help with a future booking for Honeysuckle. Property Owner

• "We had a gorgeous week in a lovely cottage."

  When we spoke to the owner beforehand, she said there was a stipulation that dogs should not go upstairs - there's a stair gate which makes that easier. We suggested that this went on the website as our dogs sleep upstairs at home and we had to train them to be comfortable downstairs in their crates without us. Luckily we did have the time to do that and the owner has amended the website, so that's all good. Front door lock was very tricky - the key turned and turned and turned and it could take five minutes to get it to catch and click. Not fun in the dark! I'm sure they'l sort that quickly. Apart from that, it was a perfect cottage. We really appreciated the bottle of Prosecco left for us; it truly is two minutes from the sea; the coastal walks are steep but glorious; it was clean and comfortable and, despite what the blurb emailed to us, said, it DID have DVDs, books and jigsaws. Car parking on the front - our old Merc 220CDi just fitted so be aware that if you've got a monster, it might not. Would definitely go again. Just what we needed. The local shop is a Tardis of wonderful stuff including fresh cakes every day;

  Thank for your kind and useful feed back. I am so glad you had a good time. Property Owner

  There is a local shop, fish and chip shop and cafe right by the beach, selling ice creams. So everything you need is there. (Even free public toilets!) The cottage is very well equipped especially in the kitchen. Comfy beds guarantee a good nights sleep. The terrace is ideal for an evening drink, and watching the world go by. This is our second visit and wont be our last. Just the place to relax and unwind!

• "Honeysuckle cottage is a delightful little cottage that suited the 4 of us well(All adults) The location is perfect and as described within 2 minutes of the beach/fish & chip shop/village shop that is a post office/bakery/off license & beach cafe."

  There is a patio at the front of the cottage and parking for 2 cars if carefully positioned. The downstairs is open plan with kitchen/diner/lounge area and the kitchen well equipped with everything we needed. Upstairs we had the bedroom with two single beds and my only comment would be they need a double duvet on as i found a single duvet does not provide a lot of cover when you turn over, equally a double bed we have a king size duvet at home for a better night, but the beds are firm and we slept well. The bathroom is modern and clean. We had a delightful time at Gorran Haven having never been before it is a friendly and welcoming Cornish village and we will return another day.

• "Its the perfect location in Gorran Haven."

  Which has a small local shop, a fish and chip shop and a nice coffee stop by the beach. At the time of our visit, the local hotel was closed due to the C19 restrictions. But we would have otherwise used it as non-residents. 2 minutes from the small local beach and a decent coastal walk to Vault beach. The cottage is sweet and well equipped. The stair gate was helpful in keeping my needy dogs from following me upstairs.

• "The house was as described but very much in need of updating and redecorating."

  I would only want 2 people staying there. Anymore would be too crowded. The porch smelled of damp and there was a unpleasant smell in the region of the fridge. The outside area was full of fallen leaves which hadn’t been cleared, which was a slip hazard. There were signs asking us to put all used bedding and towels in bags, but no bags. A call to the caretaker pointed us in the right direction. The COVID situation seems ridiculous. You go on holiday for a break but end up having to strip your own beds. This has deterred us from taking another break until the situation changes. Also the lampshades obviously hadn’t been cleaned for many years looking at the dust so that’s doesn’t help with cleanliness either. It was nice to have the sea within a minutes walk and a lovely beach.

  Thank you for your feedback. We were surprised to read your comments regarding the décor as the property is re painted annually. We do list the property to sleep 4 and nobody has ever mentioned that they think it’s not big enough for this amount of people, we are sorry it didn't suit your needs. If we had been made aware of any of your comments during your stay we would have worked with the owner to rectify the issues to make your stay more enjoyable, it’s a shame we didn't get the opportunity to do this. Leaves are swept, but due to the high winds the week you were there, they soon fall again. A broom is left at the property if it caused an issue. Due to the Covid situation we find ourselves in. Most cleaners request that guests strip the beds themselves to avoid cross contamination, bags to put this in are kept under the sink in the kitchen. Your comments regrading the dust on the lamp shade have been passed to the cleaner to address, thank you for pointing this out to us. Over all we hope this didn't spoil your time at Honeysuckle.

  Beautifully warm and with excellent kitchen facilities. It was the perfect base to walk the South West Coast Path with two dogs! Gorran Haven is not the place for a glamorous beach holiday, but is exactly that - a Cornish haven away from the main stream tourist attractions, from which to imbibe the stunning, dramatic and sultry Cornish coastline. Wonderful village shop and first class fish and chip shop. All we needed for an active, restful autumn getaway! Definitely hope to return!
