Little Honeynook Reviews

A spotlessly clean, well equipped holiday home in sight of the sea, wonderful! Enclosed garden is great if you take a dog. The owners are extremely helpful, but leave you to enjoy your privacy. A thoughtful welcome pack was a bonus, we will definitely go back.

Eamonn

Really lovely, bright, well equipped accommodation with amazing views. Very close to some great beaches. Its a home from home everything you need is there for a relaxing and comfortable break. Also dog friendly. A lovely place to go.

A warm,comfortable,clean and well equipped holiday home. The good sized loungediner 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 weve 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.

This is a beautiful well equipped cottage which made our stay so memorable. It was lovely sitting in the hot tub and looking at the wonderful views. We would not hesitate to stay here again, it's a little bit of heaven.

Philip

Little honeynook is a beautiful property, very well equipped and everything you need for a nice relaxing holiday. Many thanks to Ian and Gill.

I have had a superb week at this beautiful location with my dog Reggie. The property is a wonderful home from home and tastefully furnished with home touches of fresh flowers and a generous welcome pack which were well received. The walks and coves to discover are fabulous and unspoilt. The hosts Gill and Ian are helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be back for another stay as I have had the best time here.

Ian & Gill are the perfect hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay truly relaxing and the hot tub is a good place to do just that after some great walks!

Lovely property, wonderful owners who left us a very generous welcome pack. Superb views in a great location. Highly recommended.

Little Honeynook is a beautifully appointed cottage which has everything you could need. The owners, Ian and Gill, were very helpful and provided a very useful and tasty welcome pack. It's a short walk to the local pub with other pubs and eateries just a short drive away. A wonderful beach at Bigbury is nearby with lots of other coves and beaches within the immediate area. Salcombe and Hope Cove highly recommended.

Audrey

Our 2nd visit to this beautiful cottage, and once again everything was perfect apart from the weather! Everything you could need is provided and the welcome pack is very much appreciated. So many lovely places to visit nearby and the hot tub is great to relax in at the end of the day. Thank you Ian and Gill for another lovely holiday

Stephen

Robert T

Very clean ,superb welcome pack ,lovely location ,contained year Garden that is brilliant for our little cairn ,who made friends with residents Loki and Dudley. Would have no hesitation in recommending this excellent place.

Fantastic little cottage for a relaxing break

Little Honeynook is an immaculate and well equipped cottage. 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. Ian and Gill are very welcoming hosts. On arrival we enjoyed the cream tea, wine and loaf of bread. A nice little touch was the freshly cut flowers. We would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful cottage to our friends and family. Best wishes, Sue and Dave Middleton.

Elizabeth

If you had 'cottage owner cottage' of the year, Ian and Gill would certainly be on the shortlist! 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

Sharon

Really enjoyed our stay at the Little Honeynook, so welcoming, everything was there that we needed and more. Will definitely come back

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!

We found Little Honey Nook an absolute delight . From the moment we stepped inside we loved it . There was a wonderful welcome pac of bread , milk scones cream and jam as well as wine which meant we were able to relax , put our feet up and enjoy the beautiful country views .The decor in each room is lovely and well done . It was very well equipped with every thing you could need . There were even fresh flowers on the window sills . The owners Ian and Gill were friendly and welcoming .

Perfect holiday base in every way. Situated in a quiet location with stunning countryside views looking out towards the coast. The annex is well maintained and decorated immaculately and has all you need, a true home from home. The owners have thought of everything, a nice touch was the welcome pack, along with the fresh flowers and bottle of wine. We would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent. Everything that you would find at home. The patiogarden and views were just what you wanted to come back to after being out and about during the day, The hospitality pack and flowers were excellent.

The property exceeded all expectations, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We were able to walk from the door and return to relax in the garden. The illumination of the lights in the garden in the evening were a lovely idea and made the whole garden look really special. The very generous welcome pack was an added bonus.

We had a lovely break at little honeynook, the accomodation is spotless and the welcome pack with flowers on arrival are super. Situated in a great location to visit south Devon we would certainly go again.

Thank you Gill and Ian for providing such a lovely holiday retreat.

We had a great time in Little Honeynook. It really was a home from home. The owners have thought of everything, from the lovely fresh decor to a gorgeous cream tea on arrival. We spent most late afternoonsearly evenings in the scrupulously clean hot tub, watching the sun set. Well definitely be booking another trip!

Deborah

Little Honeynook is absolutely gorgeous, just like the photos. The bed is so comfortable and Ian and Gill have thought of absolutely everything you may need and I do mean everything from beach towels to tupperware so you can take a packed lunch with you on a day out ! The courtyard garden is too cute for words and we loved the hot tub after a long days walking. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delightful cottage. One of the best we have stayed in. Comfy bed. Comfy furniture. Home from home. Garden wonderful with relaxing chairs and hot tub. A lot of effort has gone into ensuring your stay is nothing short of 10 stars. The welcome pack was amazing. Scones, jam and cream. A bottle of wine and a pint of milk in the fridge. If I could give this cottage 10 stars that would still be short of what it deserves.

Sharon

The property was immaculate and had every facility that we needed. Superb location and beautiful views over the field to the sea. The owners were very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We would have no hesitation in visiting again and would thoroughly recommend the property to anyone visiting the area.

Ian and Gill were excellent owners of the cottage providing a lovely gift pack on arrival and a bottle of bubbly for our Golden Wedding anniversary. Treats were also provided for our dog Teddy. They were very friendly and helpful and were always available if we needed them. The cottage was immaculate and there was everything that we needed for our 2 week stay.

We enjoyed walks in the countryside from the property and discovered scenic coves and woodland. We can definitely recommend this destination.
