  • "A warm,comfortable,clean and well equipped holiday home."

    The good sized lounge/diner is linked to an excellent kitchen and the patio doors gave a view over fields to the sea. A well planned garden was accessed through the patio doors and was equipped with dining table, loungers and hot tub. A comfortable double bed was in a good sized room and the modern bathroom was spotless. We had the best welcome pack we’ve had in holiday accommodation and the electric vehicle charging was a bonus (small extra charge and a 3 pin plug needed). The owners next door did not impose but were very helpful when needed. The accommodation made it a great holiday in an area with plenty to see and do.

    Very dog friendly, even down to providing feeding bowls and towels. The neat little garden (which is lit up in the evening) is dog secure with sea and countryside views.

    They had left plenty of treats for our arrival but interestingly, one I really appreciated had cost nothing. There beside the scones was a little card saying 'Welcome John and Liz', also the top sheet of the 'Useful Information' was addressed 'Dear John and Liz'. Just little touches but they expressed Ian and Gill's thoughtfulness which was evident throughout

  • "Little Honeynook was very clean and well appointed with contemporary furniture and having lots of USB charging points."

    Having stayed in many cottages, we came well armed with all the extras (learned from experience) we could need. However, had we turned up without these to Little Honeynook - it would have come up trumps. It had everything we could need. There was also good communication before our visit, such as a direct number for any queries - much appreciated. For us though the major attraction was the location, being so close to Bigbury beach. We also enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at the dog friendly and welcoming Pickwick Arms, 5 mins walk up the road. We would definitely recommend Little Honeynook, perfect for a couple getaway!
