“Lovely stay, very peaceful, nice to get away from the hustle and bustle.”

Cottage had everything we needed, apart from a shortage of teaspoons! The track is rough, but you get used to it. Crantock beach is beautiful, with plenty of other beaches nearby.

We enjoyed our stay at honeycrock very peacefully owners of the property are very nice people and make you feel welcome little boy enjoyed the farm animals and outdoor space with the swings and perfect location as not too far from the beaches the track too the property it’s pretty tight and bumpy which we was worried about but it wasn’t to bad once we got used to it and the chances of meeting an oncoming vehicle is very low as there are not many properties there

“We've stayed at the Cottage several times and are very familiar with both the Cottage and its beautiful surroundings”

“We loved our stay at Honeycrock cottage.”

The owners are super friendly (and Molly the dog) and a lovely cream tea awaited us on arrival. We were aware of the rough trek road before we booked and it did not bother us, I cannot imagine it being a problem for most cars. We didn't find any DVDs or games at the cottage( Maybe due to covid) but we had taken some with us so not a problem. I had no issue with my phone signal and was able to use 4g on my phone (I am with SKY). There is everything you will need at the cottage and its a lovely peaceful location with walks to do. You are not far from anywhere in a car. The hot water is plentiful and central heating makes the cottage very cosy. We would be very happy to stop here again :)

“The "farm track" needs work.”

..i expected rough terrain but that was an equivalent to a free rally experience. Parts actually scrapped the underneath of our cars narrowly escaping damage. This is the only thing stopping us from booking again

- Anna, July 2020

Thank you for your comments. We regularly fill the potholes and do the best we can to make the track usable for our guests. As it is shared with the local farmer we cannot guarantee it will be pothole free, so we ask guests to take care and drive slowly when on the track. We do hope you return in the future. Thank you Property Owner

“Such a beautiful cottage in a fabulous location.”

Sandra September 2019

“We enjoyed our holiday in Cornwall and were blessed with good weather and were satisfied with Honeycrock cottage!”

Unfortunately we do not feel we can give a high score due to our concerns with the access to this property. Although it said the cottage was accessed by a farm track we had not anticipated how badly potholed and uneven the road was especially as the track was so long in it's distance to the farm and cottages. We did not feel it would be safe to be out after dark as we regularly heard scrapping on the bottom of our vehicle and from the brambles on the sides as we tried to avoid the potholes. We therefore do not feel we could recommend this cottage to a friend or would return ourselves.

Mark July 2019

“Beautiful cottage, very clean and tidy, tea, coffee, sugar & milk provided us with much needed refreshments after a 6 hour journey.”

Scones, jam & clotted cream also a lovely welcome. Beds quite comfy, no internet or phone signal but the only one of our party that that bothered was our teenage daughter, we enjoyed the no technology break away. The mile long track to get to the cottage was a bit of a mission every day but it was worth it for the beautiful peaceful setting. Beaches just a short drive away, we visit Newquay regularly and usually go for something nearer to the town but much prefered this farm setting Owners very friendly and helpful, we would highly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a nice peaceful break Thank you for a lovely break

Just a short distance by car to Crantock and Newquay.

“This was our second visit to Honeycrock and have booked a further visit for 2020.”

Everything about the Cottage and its situation is ideal for us. My granddaughter enjoys being there so much.

Keith April 2019

“The setting was perfect for us arriving with 2 young boys.”

The best part was i couldn't access the internet so it was a real retreat! Only a 10 minute drive to beautiful Crantock beach and a short drive to supermarket and newquay. Lovely warm welcome with a cream tea. Can't wait to go back.

Great host, amazing place.

Elizabeth August 2018

“This was a lovely comfy cottage in a quiet location with only the noise of owls hooting at night.”

It had everything we needed apart from a corkscrew(!) and only 7 clothes pegs but we could live with that. The owner Carol was so helpful even though she was on holiday herself. The long and bumpy track to the farm is tricky but we loved watching for the bird of prey (buzzard?) on the telegraph poles as we passed each day.

- Elizabeth, August 2018
Lee July 2018

“This cottage is a little hideaway from any noise or people, it's a great location for getting about and especially for crantock beack/hollywell bay.”

Just one note the road to the cottage is a little bumpy so I wouldn't recommend a sports car to use. The hosts are very amenable and friendly we enjoyed our time there...

- Lee, July 2018
Rob July 2018

“Such a relaxing holiday.”

Our cottage is situated in a beautiful and tranquil area, yet close enough to all the usual activities that our children hope for...beach, sea, surf and some amazing pubs and restaurants nearby. We most definitely recommend Honeycrock and booking through Sykes Cottages ensured the whole process was free of any stress too!

- Rob, July 2018
Rob July 2017

“Our hosts and the property were fabulous.”

We had such a lovely and memorable holiday, which was mainly due to the quality and location of Honeycrock Cottage. We would recommend to anyone and would love to return for future holidays.

Nigel June 2017

“It is a lovely cottage in a great countryside location with friendly conscientious owners.”

Beds were comfortable and facilities provided were very good. Excellent for young children to enjoy a small farm environment with animals etc. Also excellent for walkers like us as various beaches can be accessed with a 2-3 mile walk over lovely countryside and well maintained walking paths. We only used the car 3 times in the week. The nearest shops etc are a mile or more away so food planning etc is needed, and a trip to the pub is best combined with a nice walk. We were lucky with weather and went out each day but if it had been bad we would have been happy to enjoy the cottage more. Very glad we did not book the modern chalet on a caravan site that we were considering.

- Nigel, June 2017
Julian May 2017

“Lovely quiet position.”

Little Granddaughter loved helping with the animals.

- Julian, May 2017
Lee October 2016

“Cottage had everything we needed and was in a good location near to Crantock and Newquay but nice to be tucked out of the way of all the traffic etc on the farm.”

Carol and Peter who own the farm and two cottages are very welcoming and there to help if needed. Many Thanks to them both

- Lee, October 2016
Katie March 2016

“The cottage was warm, spacious and had everything we needed!”

The owners of the farm were so friendly and helped us out with anything we needed. I couldn't have asked for more from our holiday!

“Honeycrock was tastefully furnished and very well-equipped.”

Linda June 2015

“Honeycrock was one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in.”

The quaint and picturesque surroundings made for a beautiful setting, which combined with delightful weather gave us a holiday to remember. The hosts were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Also In terms of cleanliness and hygiene the cottage was faultless. I would therefore recommend this holiday cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing break.

Sarah April 2015

“We loved this cottage, it was in a lovely location and was relaxing and cosy.”

We had everything we needed.

Robert September 2014

“We received a warm welcome which was extended to a pleasant note in the hall, six new laid eggs and some splendid scones and jam to tuck into!”

The level of cleanliness throughout the cottage, upstairs and downstairs, equalled anything we had found in our extensive travels to many parts of the world where we have enjoyed some exceptional quality accommodation. There was a 'wholesomeness' that immediately gave us the feel good factor and seemed to guarantee this holiday as being a stunning success from the outset. We slept soundly listening to the silence. This is the first ever property where we simply enjoyed every minute and would love to revisit in the near future. We would thoroughly recommend Honeycrock to anyone seeking something special!!

- Robert, September 2014
Darrell August 2014

“It was spotless very well equipped.”

It was a little off the beaten track but was such an ideal place to chill and was so relaxing. The hospitality was excellent with a little welcome pack of cream tea, clotted cream, scones, tea, coffee and 6 freshly laid eggs from their chickens. It was only 5 minutes away from some beautiful beaches, Crantock, Fistral and Holywell to name but a few. I would highly recommend this cottage. Only wished we had gone for 2 weeks and not 1.

- Darrell, August 2014
Glynis June 2014

“Total peace and tranquillity of the cottage, which was exceptionally well equipped.”

The owners went one step more on every level; from a beautifully home made cream tea, eggs from their own hens, a vase of roses from the garden in the lounge; absolutely nothing was overlooked - games puzzles, books in abundance; everything was just perfect. Superbly maintained!

- Glynis, June 2014

About the location

CRANTOCK

Newquay 4.5 miles.

Crantock is a small Cornish village, just a short walk from the beach, close to the popular resort of Newquay. If you want to escape the crowds, yet still be close to the action, this is the place to be. There's stunning countryside all around and lots of pretty villages to explore; however, it is the coast that dominates. Enjoy superb walks along the coastal path over dramatic cliff-tops, or magnificent surfing on beaches stretching from Watergate Bay in the North to Fistral beach in the centre of Newquay and on down the coast. There are a number of golf courses in the area, as well as National Trust properties, traditional pubs and outstanding restaurants. Newquay itself is a visitor's paradise with a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, plus attractions such as the Sea Life Centre, Newquay Zoo and nearby Dairyland and Eden Project.
