Ruth 
“A very comfortable cottage.”
We had a great stay. I think the cottage would benefit from an extra coffee table next to the smaller settee

Jeremy “Lovely, cosy cottage.”
Well equipped and clean .
- Jeremy, September 2024 -
Sonia “We had a lovely relaxing time.”
Wheal honey had everything we could have asked for and more with that ‘wow’ factor from the moment we opened the door. Stunning property in a truly beautiful location. The little touches on arrival after a long journey being able to pop the kettle on and have gorgeous local fresh milk, really a treat. The electric car charging on site was simple and easy to use too. An amazing family holiday was had by all and we’ll definitely be back. A truly fine example of how holiday cottages should be!
- Sonia, August 2024 -
Paul “Ideal location for visiting lots of places.”
The cottage is well maintained and equipped with helpful and friendly hosts. The views are stunning and peaceful, perfect for us. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay exploring Cornwall.
- Paul, June 2024 -
Elizabeth “We had a fabulous stay at Wheal Honey during May Half Term for a week.”
We stayed with our two young children and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful! They popped a cot, stair gate and bed bumper in for our children and the washing machine/tumble dryer was a godsend! Great location for lots of different beaches, I don’t think we travelled more than 20 minutes from the house every day but didn’t go to the same beach twice. Plenty of space in the open garden at the back for the children to run around and gorgeous views. We would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back again soon! Thank you for having us!
- Elizabeth, May 2024 -
Mark “Lovely place, very peaceful with smashing view.”
- Mark, May 2024 -
Catherine “Myself and my boys had a very relaxing stay at Wheal Honey even when the weather was awful all week.”
The views are lovely and it was very peaceful.
- Catherine, October 2023 -
Timothy “Beautiful cottage in rural Cornwall with very nice views to the rear.”
Close to Newquay and many other coastal towns. Lovely and warm with just about everything provided, (not food of course). Howard, the owner was and is very helpful, even when the dishwasher broke, it was replaced in less than 24 hours with a brand new one. Would definitely recommend these cottages.
- Timothy, October 2023 -
Rebecca “Absolutely fantastic, thank you!”
The property is located in such a peaceful spot! The accommodation had absolutely everything we needed and Howard was very helpful and welcoming. Thanks
- Rebecca, August 2023 -
Dominique “We stayed for 7 nights.”
The cottage is spacious and had everything we needed. The location is great, our view was the farm animals, birds in a large shared garden. Our hosts were so friendly and accommodating. There is an Asda, Morrisons, Lidl's and McDonald's 10 minute drive. Fristal beach is 6 miles down the road. This is a fantastic family cottage stay.
- Dominique, May 2023 -
Paula “We had an amazing holiday, the cottage was fantastic.”
The owners had thought of every little detail that you could possibly think of needing and more for your stay. Look forward to staying here again in the future.
- Paula, September 2022 -
Vernon “Absolutely perfect.”
The property is superb. Exterior is a picture and the interior is a stunning conversion. A real credit to the owner who painstakingly converted an old barn to create this two level masterpiece. Fixtures and fittings are of top quality. We felt so comfortable in this beautiful holiday cottage. Great location and views. A most enjoyable stay.
- Vernon, August 2022 -
Robert “A stunning location, highly recommend, jas all facilities needed, spacious & comfortable.”
If anything could be added maybe a tv in the bedrooms, but apart from that its perfect.
- Robert, July 2022 -
Sarah “If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet and relaxing holiday with stunning views then this is for you.”
Upon arrival the property was clean and tidy, with tea, coffee and milk provided this was very much appreciated especially after along journey. The cottage is just like a home from home with a washer, dryer and dishwasher included. The property is just a short drive from Newquay. I really couldn't fault the property and will hopefully revisit in the future.
- Sarah, July 2022 -
Deborah “Our second stay and just as delightful.”
Helpful owners (came to the rescue with a screwdriver for our own bbq). The reclining sofa is actually fantastic and comfortable and we bring a freestanding camping washing airer with us for the wetsuits (re:previous review). There is no price for the view out of the lounge and back bedroom window and we love the cottage so much we’ll be back. Great base for all parts of Cornwall.
- Deborah, June 2022Thank you for your lovely comments Property Owner

Emma “Home from a fantastic weeks stay at Wheal Honey.”
We picked this for its location and it didn’t disappoint. Nestled in the countryside with beautiful views, we found it the perfect base for all the attractions we visited in Cornwall. Everything you needed was included in the accommodation from fluffy towels to tea and coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend to others and will return here ourselves in the future.
- Emma, May 2022 -
Haf “Lovely property, great rural location but perfect for exploring the area, no where was more than an hour away so that was great for us.”
Lovely size for a family and had everything you needed. Cottage was clean on the whole, I think it just needs a more thorough clean as a few areas such as the storage in the bathroom and under the beds were very dusty and a jug in the kitchen cupboard was dirty. Items such as pegs or a washing line outside and a basket to carry the washing would be beneficial. Furniture could possibly do with an update as the sofa wasn't overly comfortable. Milk was in the fridge for when we arrived, but a welcome hamper with essential items for breakfast would be lovely (even if at an extra charge). On the whole a lovely cottage, just a few small amendments to be made.
- Haf, May 2022Thank you for the feedback provided for Wheal Honey, we do pop all kitchen items in the dishwasher each week to ensure they are all clean, we apologise if we had missed anything. We have taken on comments on board for consideration, thank you for your kind comments regarding the house and we hope you had a great stay overall. Property Owner

Michelle “This is a great property has many good features and is cosy, clean and comfortable.”
A dishwasher, washing machine and dryer were all helpful additions and the underfloor heating a welcome treat! We gave it four stars for a few easily rectifyable issues. The dining table is too small for four adult sized people. Seating area is big enough and but the table is not, only just able to fit four placemats on it and no room for extra dishes. The property needs an outside light to help to find the door key hole and avoid slips and trips on the cobbles in the dark as the ground changes in levels. Other than these issues I would highly recommend this cottage and thank the owners for a lovely stay.
- Michelle, October 2021 -
Charles “Quiet location, quality barn conversion, quality kitchen including white goods and utensils.”
Comfortable accommodation. Very good wifi connection. Hot water all the time
- Charles, September 2021 -
Caroline “Our cottage was as described and suited our needs exactly.”
- Caroline, September 2021 -
Deren “Wheal Honey was a perfect base for me and my family to explore Cornwall from.”
Perfectly positioned and with easy access to nearby main roads, yet hidden away and peaceful, just what you'd like from a holiday! The cottage felt like a 'home-from-home' and myself, my wife and 2 children absolutely loved our week at Wheal Honey.
- Deren, August 2021 -
Jane “Great location, in quiet countryside with stunning scenery.”
Cute cottage with everything we needed and friendly hosts (thanks so much for all the supplies left for us - very much appreciated). Loved it!
- Jane, July 2021 -
Anna “We really enjoyed our stay - the property was as fab and the hosts were friendly without being overbearing.”
Property was clean (apart from the cobwebs!) and it was the perfect base for exploring Newquay. We wish we had booked for 2 weeks! We would definitely stay again and we were hoping to book again for next year but the prices have been increased by about 50% and it has completely priced us out the market. What a shame.
- Anna, July 2021 -
Sara “Fabulous house and a great location.”
Although it’s out in the middle of nowhere, it’s not too far from anything. Very accommodating and friendly owner. Just what we needed!
- Sara, July 2021 -
Nicki “Another lovely stay at Wheal Honey, we will be back next year”
- Nicki, May 2021 -
Nicki “Very comfortable accommodation, great location and friendly hosts.”
Would definitely return
- Nicki, October 2020 -
Christine “Just spent time at Wheal Honey The cottage was even better than we expected, the photos don't do it justice.”
Everything was spotless and everything was really best quality too. It was perfect for us, we couldn't fault it! Will definitely be back.
- Christine, September 2020 -
Philip “We stayed here for a weekend while attending a family reunion.”
The warm, clean cottage was as fully equipped as any we have stayed in previously. There are superb views across the valley from the private patio which would make a lovely place for breakfast on a warmer/drier day (we had the 'pleasure' of sharing the weekend with storm Dennis). The friendly owners were helpful but unobtrusive. An ideal location for exploring this part of Cornwall or a quiet escape.
- Philip, February 2020 -
Priya “The Farmers were very welcoming and helpful and provided milk, tea and coffee and a bottle of wine on arrival.”
Wheal Honey is a charming property with great views across the fields at the back. Good location, within driving distance of a number of lovely beaches and attractions. Would definitely recommend visiting.
- Priya, July 2019 -
Gemma “We really enjoyed our stay in wheal honey cottage.”
The cottage just about had everything you could need. Perhaps, it could do with an outside area for cleaning wetsuits and some hooks to hang them, also missed a dustpan and brush and also couldn’t find a pizza cutter - these are just very tiny things as I couldn’t fault our stay. It’s very peaceful and the view in the garden is spectacular. Would love to come back!
- Gemma, July 2019 -
Julie Pauline “Amazing cottage and location.”
the owners were lovely and very helpful. would highly recommend
- Julie Pauline, June 2019 -
Tom “Third time in this cottage and it's a real gem.”
Owners live on site and are very helpful and friendly, beautiful views and no traffic noise.
- Tom, June 2019 -
Jill “The holiday cottage was amazing.”
The owners went above and beyond for us on arrival. They also left us a just married card alongside a bottle of wine and an Easter egg for out little girl. My little girl loved the enclosed garden and liked looking for wildlife. The cottage is in an excellent location for Newquay. We all really enjoyed our holiday and cannot wait to return.
- Jill, April 2019 -
John “Lovely cottage with great history, lovely view across rolling green fields and ideally situated for access to all towns and villages throughout Cornwall.”
- John, April 2019 -
Lesley “Holiday was lovely.”
Lovely place to stay. Exceeded our expections.
- Lesley, November 2018 -
Stacey “The cottage was very well maintained and had everything you would need for a self catering holiday.”
Easy to find and a great location for exploring Cornwall. The shared garden was a good size, although would benefit from more comfortable outside seating.
- Stacey, May 2018 -
Paul “Holiday home was amazing, nice and quiet plus we were left to get on with what we wanted too.”
really nice modern place with all modern equipment in the house. The experience was beautiful and I would recommend it to anybody can’t wait to go back
- Paul, March 2018 -
Rose “Excellent cottage, Mr Farmer is very friendly and helpful.”
Our second stay. It is lovely and peaceful.
- Rose, October 2017 -
Melanie “This is our second stay in this wonderful cottage.”
It is spotlessly clean & has everything you could possibly need & more. Set in peaceful countryside but only a few minutes drive from the main road. We didn't want to leave.
- Melanie, August 2017 -
Glen “The cottage and surroundings were amazing, it was fantastically equipped way beyond our expectations.”
When we had an issue with working the cooker hob, the cottage owner was very easy to contact and very helpful and able to help us over the telephone. We can't recommend this property highly enough. The owners live within the same complex and very friendly and helpful.
- Glen, October 2016 -
Yolanda “The cottage was very comfortable and of good cleaning standard.”
The kitchen was also well equipped although some more utensils and pots and pans would not go amiss. Nice welcome by owner, gave local information; there was a bottle of white wine and a pint of milk in the fridge. OS map of local area as well as maps for coastal walks were present as well as loads of fliers for sightseeing. The location of the cottage was great in quiet country side yet easy access to all of Cornwall, just off the A30. Overall good value for money.
- Yolanda, September 2016 -
Jeffrey “YES THE SPOT OF WHEAL HONEY COTTAGE WAS IDEALLY PLACED FOR VISITING ALL ASPECTS OF CORNWALL,BEACHES SITES TOWNS ETC.”
THANKS FOR A SMASHING HOLIDAY
- Jeffrey, September 2016 -
Rick “A lovely cottage with all the amenities present.”
Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and some Sky channels. Very clean and a high finish throughout. French doors out onto a patio area overlooking fields which is a lovely area to soak up the sun or have dinner on the picnic bench. Lovely and quiet and a great base for exploring Cornwall by car. Only 10 minutes from the beaches in Newquay and we went to Lands End, Polperro, St Ives etc. etc.
- Rick, September 2016 -
Sarah “Fantastic holiday.”
We love visiting here.
- Sarah, August 2016 -
David “This was the best property we have stayed in, it is a little gem and hopefully we will return again in the near future.”
- David, June 2016 -
Julia “Liked everything.”
It is in an idyllic location and was very quiet and peaceful, and the cottage was a real home from home with everything needed to make it a relaxing holiday.
- Julia, June 2016 -
Rose “The accommodation is fabulous.”
The property is located down a small country lane but because of this it is tranquil. The views are spectacular, out across rolling fields complete with sheep, cows, pheasants and all manor of birds, we think we even heard an owl one day. It has outdoor seating with a BBQ and a large shared sloping lawn. Inside the accommodation is perfect. The bathroom is large and the bedrooms are airy with very comfortable beds. The kitchen area is well equipped (although we didn't do much cooking) complete with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. The owners were very welcoming and full of information on the local area. The property is perfectly positioned for travelling around the area. We had a brilliant holiday and would definitely recommend it and hope to return ourselves.
- Rose, May 2016 -
Helen “The cottage was lovely and the views were to die for.”
The owners were very helpful and very friendly.
- Helen, April 2016 -
Melanie “This is an absolutely fabulous cottage, set in a peaceful rural area but only a few minutes from the main roads.”
Everything you could possibly need is provided. The owners are a delightful couple who suggested places for us to visit. We would return in a heartbeat.
- Melanie, March 2016 -
Ian “We had a most enjoyable stay in a lovely property and were made welcome by the owners.”
- Ian, December 2015 -
Mervyn “A lovely, comfortable, well-equipped and maintained cottage in a beautiful setting.”
- Mervyn, October 2015 -
Sarah “This is by far our favourite property from Sykes and we have been visiting Sykes properties for eight years!”
But shhh..keep it quiet as we want to keep it free for us to visit again. A beautiful place to visit if you would like to stay somewhere with relaxing views and be accessible to lots of Cornwall's treasures like Padstow, Rock or Marazion. Very lovely for families with beach enthusiasts.
- Sarah, August 2015 -
Lesley “Wheal Honey, what a gem.”
Set in an idyllic location within a complex of barn conversations and lovingly restored to the highest specification by its very friendly and helpful owner. We could not have wished for a more cosy comfortable home for our holiday. Everything about the 'cottage' was perfect, which during a spell of awful weather was very much appreciated! I cannot fault this beautiful cottage, or the concern for our comfort. I would happily recommend this location to anyone. I feel that although it is rated 4 Star, it should really be 5, so glad we found it. Can't wait to return.
- Lesley, May 2015 -
Michael “Excellent property and hosts.”
- Michael, March 2015 -
Hayley “The cottage was beautiful and very well kept, everything we needed was provided, and the owners made us feel welcome and at home.”
Great location too.
- Hayley, March 2015 -
Danielle “This accommodation was very homely and perfect to come home to at the end of the day.”
The facilities were excellent.
- Danielle, February 2015 -
Raza “The cottage itself is a great retreat to stay indoors even.”
The view of countryside, the early morning sunrise and sunset in the evening is simply super. The décor and setting of the cottage is warm and everything you may need is made available and of quality. The warm welcome by the owners and the way they looked after our family was excellent. We enjoyed our stay with two kids and they too were very excited. The place is in close reach to the beaches as well as other entertainment in the area. Definitely a place to stay if you love countryside and the beaches and want to get away from the usual typical busy urban lifestyle.
- Raza, December 2014 -
Kitty “The cottage was perfect - it was finished to a very high standard and was quiet, warm and had everything you could need.”
Will definitely be back again!
- Kitty, November 2014 -
