  We have returned from our stay in Honey Cottage today.

  We really enjoyed our stay however had a big problem with the cottage- the damp smell. When we arrived the damp smell hit us straight away. We opened all of the windows which seemed to help but it didn’t go away at all. The cupboards in the kitchen were particularly pungent but the cupboard under the stairs was the worst! The smell was so strong that the crockery, cups and glasses even smelled of it. We have also returned home smelling of damp. There were a couple of other smaller issues like the bedding and towels not being there when we arrived and the kettle being black inside, but both of these were rectified quickly when we let John Bray know, who have an office nearby. The downstairs and back bedroom in the cottage are well decorated but the two remaining bedrooms need a lot of attention. We really liked the character of the cottage and if the smell was taken away we would definitely stay again, but as it is we definitely would not. I actually think it gave me a bad chest! I also think that it should be mentioned in the initial information (before booking) that the parking space is up a very steep incline from the cottage as this could present as a problem to many people. We fell in love with Port Isaac itself and will definitely be staying again but unfortunately not in Honey Cottage.

  The property looks very tired and in need of some TLC.

  Jet spraying the walls to remove the caked in bird poo would be good The beds were extremely uncomfortable, the springs dug in and infact I tried to sleep in each bed as I could not avoid the springs in the main bed. My son, who is less sensitive than me, also had the same problem. It would be helpful to provide cleaning products, there were no surface sprays or cleaning materials for the bathroom, the toilet brush was broken. I would usually give the shower a quick clean everyday it would be great to have a shower cleaner and a useable toilet brush. This is the first time I have stayed in a cottage that doesn't provide a "care package" of milk tea bags and often other goodies, just to get you going. The skylights need something you can open them with and need blinds as the sun shines in directly, which is wonderful, but not so good when you are trying to keep the rooms.cool. Sorry for the long list, but I would want to know if it were my property. Also storage, we found the hoover in front of the door in the downstairs bedroom and the mop and bucket behind the arm chair! We loved the location and views from the upstairs bedroom.

  Fabulous cottage, very well equipped and beautifully decorated.

  So pleased to have found it! There are a couple of things we felt were missing; In the master bedroom there wasn’t anywhere to hang clothes… we only needed a small space for 3/4 hangers plus the addition of a chair or small table would have been handy close to the mirror. For such a lovely house, a picnic table is less than comfortable for whiling away a sunny evening! Really felt this could do with an upgrade. Some serving dishes would also have been of great use as only plastic available for serving hot food. Overall the cottage has been beautifully renovated, it’s comfortable, the lighting is perfect (which is often something overlooked), the beds are lovely, and the addition of a car park space is a godsend in Port Isaac. We would most certainly stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

  Lovely, spacious house with good sized bedrooms & bathrooms split across the two floors and a large parking area. The kitchen is very modern and well equipped, with plenty of dining space and with an additional outdoor dining area with lovely country scenery. Sunset views in particular can be spectacular! Fantastic location a few minutes from beautiful Port Isaac, which has a Co-op supermarket, a great pub and various dining options. Perfect location for long coastal walks (or short drives) to Tintagel, Polzeath, or many other stunning spots. Some great farmshops nearby, such as Trevathan, with a lovely cafe & shop, as well as offering excellent activities for the kids. The host, is very responsive and helpful, as well as knowledgeable about the area. Hope to return here again in the future.

  It’s the second time we stayed at the Folly, the first being 2 years ago.

  It it perfectly situated and has a very valuable parking spot. But, it is a much unloved property. The flower trough on the pathway is full of weeds (just get rid of the trough). On the corner of the outside steps down to the door there’s a pile of stuff for the tip - old polystyrene a bit of old Lino. The curtains in the bedrooms are thin and unlined - both bedrooms face east so you’re up at 5am; the main wall in the living room doesn’t eve.n have a picture on it. The boiler in the kitchen rattles away making some very odd noises; one of the frying pans lost it’s non stick about 5 years ago……we could go on. As a crash pad (with nighttime eye masks) it works, but it’s definitely not comfort and a little surprising John Bray puts his name to it.
