“Leslie is a lovely, considerate host, always cheerful and full of expert hints and tips for the area.”

...

The four-poster is lovely and comfortable, and the kitchen / dining area is well equipped and functional. How refreshing to have an actual separate freezer, complete with ice-making tray... The only drawback we found was the two-seater was too small for a loving couple to snuggle up on, and it was so upright, it was not very comfortable, but we were out most of the day, so it wasn’t too much of an issue. The property was nice and clean, and well-presented, throughout. Overall, we rate Honeybee Cottage 4.5 / 5.
Mr Vernon October 2019

“We had one of the most relaxing holidays that I can remember for a long time.”

The host made us extremely welcome, and the cottage was clean well equipped and very cosy. I would happily recommend Honeybee cottage to friends and family.

“WOW !. What a fantastic holiday”

. Leslie and Darren made us feel very welcome meeting us in the car park and showing us to our fabulous cottage . It was immaculately clean, well equipped and our dog Ruby loved the enclosed garden where she would look for Darren for her Bonio he would give her. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Fresh eggs every day,even a tour of the farm at feeding time.Great location and dog friendly beaches in the height of the summer season.The only downfall was having to leave but we did come away with some great memories and some lovely fresh eggs. Thank you Leslie and Darren for a memorable week.

“Honey Bee Cottage was brilliant, made more so by our hosts Lesley and Darren, who were so friendly, informative, and helpful.”

The cottage was immaculate when we arrived as was the small holding.,Lesley and Darren really work hard. We chose Honey Bee a because it looked so good inside and out and b because it was dog friendly which was very important, they had a paddock where our labradoodle could have a good runaround. The site was perfect ten out of ten

“The Best SIX Holiday rentals in North Devon”

Darren and Lesley are the most welcoming couple we have ever met in all the many years in cottaging in the West Country,the have six cottages on site all are to the highest specification. The welcome you get from Lesley is fantastic,in which she makes sure you are aquainted with every part of the cottage upon your arrival,nothing is left to chance. The big pluses for your stay at any of the cottages are as follows;- Peace and quiet. At one with a Farm life with Chickens,Lambs & Alpacas. Only six miles to Bude's Sandy Dog Friendly Beach An honesty box for Bacon, meat & eggs shop for the little emergency on site And a good meal can be had at the Bradworthy Arms 2 miles away. Don't forget to take a walk around the Tamar Lakes,or a Bike ride or numerous water sports,that are available.

“BEST KEPT SECRET”

We have just left Honey Bee Cottage and we feel bereft.We have had such a wonderful time,this is the first holiday we can say we have totally relaxed and enjoyed a holiday.Immaculate and comfy the cottage was idyllic. Lesley and Darren were wonderful and very helpful and full of fun.Our fab place was Widemouth Bay just pass Bude,our dog enjoyed playing in the sea as did we.If you want a wonderful holiday then book now it will be the best decision you will ever make.Bude was very pretty and we also went to Ilfracombe which was nice and felt like you were stepping back in time. There are other cottages on site all different but equally beautiful. As you can see we have had a great time and have booked already for next year..

“comfortable and relaxing home from home”

spacious cottage with sufficient equipment to be able to self cater or not. on site owners helpful and friendly. tour of the animals a delight. quiet and peaceful location. local village of Bradworthy has a good lady butcher, friendly pub/hotel and a variety of other shops including a helpful vet practice. Bude a little shabby and tired. local beaches clean, good for energetic dogs. just be aware large cobble-like stones to cross first. not good for elderly, arthritic dogs. all in all great holiday.
