  • "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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

  • "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;

    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.

    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.

The property

Superbly located for touring the beautiful Roseland Peninsula, this delightful, two bedroom terraced cottage is situated in the unspoilt 13th century coastal village of Gorran Haven, just a two-minute walk from the beach.

As you step into the porch and the open plan living room at Honeysuckle, you immediately feel at home.

There is a kitchen, a dining area and a comfy sitting area where you can all gather after a day out and relax.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom whilst at the front of the cottage is the patio, an ideal spot to end the day and watch the world go by with dinner and a refreshing drink.

Located in a valley, well off the beaten track, Gorran Haven remains the same as years gone by, with lots of old cottages nestled around a secluded cove.

The bay is sheltered from the prevailing west winds and families can enjoy its two sandy beaches offering some of the safest bathing in Cornwall, making it ideal for all ages.

A few minutes from the cottage on foot, not only are you on the beach, but you can also find all the facilities and amenities you need for your stay, including an excellent bakery, a pub, and a well-known fish and chip shop.

With lots of major Cornish attractions close by, such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project, as well as the famous fishing village of Mevagissey just three miles away, Honeysuckle is an excellent cottage for a seaside holiday, whatever the time of year.

About the location

GORRAN HAVEN

Mevagissey 3 miles.

Once a crab fishing village, Gorran Haven on the south coast of Cornwall is ideally placed to explore the many beaches and coves in the area. Gorran Haven has a small sandy beach set behind a traditional sea wall, connecting with the longer Great Perhaver beach at low tide and is popular with families. Much of the coastline in this area is owned by the National Trust and is readily accessible from the South West Coast Path that passes through Gorran Haven. Within walking distance are a number of more isolated beaches and the 370 feet high Dodman Point, rising above Gorran, which is thought to be one of Cornwall’s most dramatic headlands, and the cause of many a shipwreck. From its gorse-covered heights there are views across Veryan Bay to the west and Vault Beach to the east. Alternatively, you may wish to walk the coastal path to the harbour village of Mevagissey. Near Gorran Haven, in a beautiful setting of woodland, stream and pasture, is Caerhays Castle, an informal 60-acre garden on the coast near Porthluney Cove. Nearby attractions are the wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan, Eden Project, Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum and the cathedral town of Truro, with an excellent range of quality shopping and dining.
