"We have had a wonderful week at honeysuckle cottage."
The cottage is cosy and clean and has everything you would need. We loved the garden and really relaxed in the peaceful area. We had some lovely days at Praa Sands and Porthleven is a gorgeous little fishing harbour. We were made to feel very welcome and will be very happy to return to this beautiful cottage. Thanks again xxx
Thank you for the kind comments. We are so pleased that you had a great holiday in Cornwall. We would love you to return & explore more of what Cornwall has to offer. Property Owner

"Great little cottage for us, Ashton is an ideal location to be based for a family break, our Second visit to this property having come in 2020."
It is as described for people booking, is very private and secluded but minutes away from the main routes. Nice week away for the family, best beaches are Praa Sands for easy access and for the more adventurous Kynance cove about 8 miles away. Many thanks for an easy stay .
We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in Cornwall. Property Owner

"Overall we enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage."
Being an old property it was quite a cold cottage and we could find no information on how to put the radiators on if only for a short time each evening. The towel rail in the bathroom didn't work but after 3 days the owner managed to get it working so we could get our towels dry and have a shower in comfort. A hair dryer would have been useful and just basic condiments in the kitchen (salt, pepper, vinegar etc.) although we did receive a welcome pack to make a cup of tea, biscuits and crisps.

"This cottage was absolutely beautiful."
The rooms were all well equipped and light and airy. Will definitely go back again. The driveway was tight but manoeuvred ok and had been pre warned. All you hear is bird song with no traffic as off the beaten track. There is nothing at all to complain about this cottage except wanted to stay longer but with work commitments couldn’t.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay in the cottage. Property Owner

"A pretty cottage with nice private garden down quaint Cornish lane."
Cottage clean and tidy with milk in the fridge and a basket of treats on arrival, much appreciated. The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring south west Cornwall. Would recommend and book again, now going on our preferred list of cottages.

"This property had the wow factor for us ."
Well presented modern and clean . The garden was beautiful and if we hadn't been so busy out and about would have lived to have used it more .It was like another room . The position to local beauty spots and places to go was ideal . The fact the cottage has ample parking was also a plus .We have an Audi A3 and had no trouble . We visited the local pub The Lion and the Lamb and found it to friendly and welcoming and the food was good too . We had a warm welcome frome Perry and Julie to ,plus a little goodie pack and fresh milk ! There are so many more places to explore I'm sure we will be back .Highly recommended

"We have had a wonderful stay at Honeysuckle Cottage, despite wet weather and a poorly baby!"
It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and peaceful. The garden is lovely, and the cottage is perfect for families with young children. The driveway was not a problem at all, so don't be put off by other reviews. We have a chunky estate car, and it was easy enough to negotiate reversing out of the driveway and onto the lane. This is a great spot to explore some of the best of Cornwall, with so much on the doorstep. We'll be back!

"A quiet, comfortable dwelling with a pleasant interior and layout A good location with plenty of interesting walks from the door We did not rate the local pub (Lion and Lamb) It appears to be changing hands but may well bounce back We are sorry to say that vehicular access is a real problem."
A rough potholed and narrow track leads to the property. Manoeuvring is difficult and protracted; even a Mini would have difficulties. There appeared to be no other options within a reasonable distance
Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at the property. With regard to the local pub we have only had positive comments from other guests. It is pub grub served here but, locally in Porthleven, you have a vast supply of excellent quality food establishments. The lane to the cottage is an unmade, single-track lane, with Cornish cottages along one side. We actually own a 4x4 and we have no trouble turning the vehicle within the driveway. Property Owner

"Lovely Cottage in a quiet location"
-
"We have stayed in this cottage twice before and would certainly return."
It is beautifully maintained and in a lovely, quiet location. The cottage is spotless and everything we needed for our stay was provided. A great holiday in a wonderful cottage.
-
"The cottage was perfect for us to be able to relax and unwind."
It was very clean, had all the amenities and was set in a lovely quiet location. It also gave us easy access to explore the beauty of Cornwall.
-
"Great location for exploring the local coastline."
Cottage had a lovely enclosed sunny garden.
-
"It was a nice little cottage for two people, lovely setting, if you have a medium to large vehicle to get into the property can be challenging the lane to get to the property is also challenging, narrow, pot holes."
This needs to be included on the information advertising the property.
-
"If you drive a large car you would find it very difficult to manoeuvre your vehicle into the property (small access area)."
The property was difficult to find, tucked away down a dirt track.
-
"The location of this cottage is fantastic, you can get to so many amazing beaches/coves or fantastic towns with ease."
Cottage really has everything you could need and more, the garden gets sun most of the day.
-
"Cute cottage, ideally suited for two."
Lovely garden. Comfy beds. Clean. Very quiet. Provisions on arrival were most welcome. Wish we could have stayed longer despite the cold, wet & wild weather.
-
"The cottage was quiet location and comfortable."
The access lane was poor and to turn in the driveway could be a challenge with a larger car.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Clean and very pretty. Fantastic location with playground virtually next door. Perfect for exploring so many wonderful places within 30 minute drive but also only 5-10 mins drive from porthleven, praa sands and the coastal path. Drive is a bit tricky so recommend bringing a car rather than VW van if you can but it was do-able and you can always leave van on the road nearby. Stunning wheal prosper nearby - an old disused Cornish mine overlooking rinsey cove - perfect for a picnic or an inspiring morning run.
-
"Quite a small cottage but spotlessly clean and comfortable."
Away from all the crowds but less than a half hour drive from the beautiful St Ives. A welcome pack awaited us which was very much appreciated after a long drive to get there. The drive was a little difficult to nagivate at first as it’s very tight and quite dark at night but we soon got used to it. Overall a lovely little cottage which we would highly recommend and would love to return to .
-
"Fantastic well-equipped cottage perfect for those with children."
Attractive in and out offering those home comforts. The enclosed, safe garden was an extra bonus. Perfect location to reach all the local attractions and beauty spots we wanted to visit. Would certainly return in the future.
-
"An excellent week in this rather compact but extremely functional cottage."
Perry was very welcoming and we had a very comfortable stay. We played golf at both Mullion and Pra Sands and we can recommend both. The coastal walks are of course beautiful and we were lucky to have mostly lovely sunny weather. On the day it was foggy and damp we went to the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth having pre booked an entry time. It is absolutely wonderful and well worth visiting. A dishwasher would have been nice ( rather than a washing machine for just a week) but understand due to lack of space.

"Honeysuckle cottage is a lovely base to explore this area of Cornwall."
It has everything you need and a welcome pack greeted us after our long journey. Kids 6 and 3 had a great time.
-
"Great week visiting Cornwall in odd times!"
Location was good for getting to beaches by car with young kids and days out . Good size cottage in hidden spot, secure garden for children. Helston a short drive for supermarket etc . Local beach at Rinsey cove well worth a visit, steep path - walk there as car park small. It was great to arrange all of the booking from my phone, all went to plan . A nice cottage for small family or couples. Recommended .

"Beautifully decorated, very clean, well equipped and ideal location for exploring."
-
"We stayed in Honeysuckle Cottage in Ashton and it was well furnished and comfortable with a great kitchen."
The hosts left a welcome pack of gifts and brochures of things to do whilst there. We visited many local coastlines and gardens. The house also had a garden with chairs to relax. The cottage was in a good location not far from a town where we could buy local produce.

"Honeysuckle Cottage is comfortable, clean and warm."
The cottage is well equipped and there is a well-kept private garden if you wish to relax outside. Access is down a short, narrow rough track, but there is ample room to park. The owners, who live nearby, are friendly and helpful. Honeysuckle Cottage is in an excellent position for exploring the far southwestern end of Cornwall including the Lizard headland, St. Michaels Mount, Porthleven, the Penrose Estate, Trengwainton Gardens, Godolphin House, the Tin Coast and many other places of interest. Evening stroll at Risley Head and Prussia Cove are highly recommended . Don't bother with tacky commercialised tourist trap of Lands End unless you really have to; Cape Cornwall and Lizard Point offers a much better experiences. We weren't very keen on the 'chips-with-everything' food in the local pub, but there are plenty of good restaurants and pubs in Porthleven, and there's a good local supermarket by the car park that stocks a lot of locally produced food.

"Comfortable cottage and ideally situated for beaches, country walks and National Trust properties."
-
"Peace and quiet and feeling of a safe environment."
A good central position for touring this part of Cornwall. Shops for supplies just a short car ride away, very good mini market store in Porthleven. All bays on Lizard Peninsula worth visiting especially Kynance. Nice to have the welcome pack from very pleasant hosts, Perry and Julie, thank you. Brian and Christine Gulley.
