  We had a lovely stay at Honeycrock.

  Owners were welcoming, information provided about the local area, and we enjoyed lovely walks from the cottage door to the beach to have a fire in the evening. We stayed in August, and haven’t been away in the summer before. Soon realised if you want to go to the beach you need to be prepared to get up early to drive down to get a parking space. The cottage was within walking distance (adult legs not child!) of Polly Joke and a little further, Crantock, and Bowgie Inn which is lovely for a pint overlooking the sea. As described in the listing, there is NO WI-FI which was absolutely perfect for us for a complete switch off this week. There are board games and books at the cottage. As described in the listing, the lane to get to the cottage is very rough and you need to be prepared for going at 5 mph down a bumpy lane. This did not bother us at all, but if you have a Lamborghini you might want to bear this in mind! All in all what a lovely place to stay and we would be back in a heartbeat! Have already recommended it to friends

  Guillemot Holiday Cottage is absolutely fabulous, beautifully decorated, comfortable, bathroom is stunning, as were the sea views.

  It has every facility you could possibly want, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, cooker, ironing board and iron, hair dryers, so no need to take anything with you apart from beach towels and anything you might need for your dog (if taking one). Lovely coastal walks (that go on for miles) and beaches left and right of the property and very close to other places you might wish to visit in Cornwall. Holly, the property manager, was very nice and helpful, even left us some fresh milk and muffins and we had a very nice e-mail from the property owner before we went, to say that he hopes we have a great holiday, that was a nice touch. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to family, friends and work colleagues. Will definitely book this cottage again. 5 Stars!

  It's a lovely little cottage that felt immediately homely as soon as we walked in the door.

  It had good size bedrooms and storage and a very usable kitchen. The main track leading to it is a bit rough at first but you soon get used to it. We found as a location it's perfect for visiting the whole of Cornwall. The local beach is a 5 minute car drive and very beautiful and peaceful . Newquays Fistral beach is 15 minutes away if you want a bit more liveliness. Only thing I would say is its not really got much for young children (ours are 6 and 7) as it is on a farm and you obviously can't let them run around unsupervised, but by the time you're back home they'll be knackered anyway. Peter and Carol were fantastic hosts and made us feel really welcome. We'll look forward to visiting again.

  We loved our stay at Honeycrock cottage.

  The owners are super friendly (and Molly the dog) and a lovely cream tea awaited us on arrival. We were aware of the rough trek road before we booked and it did not bother us, I cannot imagine it being a problem for most cars. We didn't find any DVDs or games at the cottage( Maybe due to covid) but we had taken some with us so not a problem. I had no issue with my phone signal and was able to use 4g on my phone (I am with SKY). There is everything you will need at the cottage and its a lovely peaceful location with walks to do. You are not far from anywhere in a car. The hot water is plentiful and central heating makes the cottage very cosy. We would be very happy to stop here again :)

  It is a lovely cottage in a great countryside location with friendly conscientious owners.

  Beds were comfortable and facilities provided were very good. Excellent for young children to enjoy a small farm environment with animals etc. Also excellent for walkers like us as various beaches can be accessed with a 2-3 mile walk over lovely countryside and well maintained walking paths. We only used the car 3 times in the week. The nearest shops etc are a mile or more away so food planning etc is needed, and a trip to the pub is best combined with a nice walk. We were lucky with weather and went out each day but if it had been bad we would have been happy to enjoy the cottage more. Very glad we did not book the modern chalet on a caravan site that we were considering.
