“Cottage very well equipt with kitchen things and overall clean.”

Shower wasnt draining properly so cleaned it out as much as was prepared too. Shame didnt have a little outside space also as ended up travelling on my own was very disappointed no mobile signal until u got more or less down to the harbour. Overall very much enjoyed my stay. Oh and lovely welcome goodies.

“On the whole this is lovely accommodation.”

....just needs a few little tweaks......1/ somewhere to put the soap etc in the shower....2/ more comfortable seating in the Lounge area, maybe two small armchairs and coffee table ????.......3/ firmer mattress, that doesn't have roll together.....4/a relook at the heating....smaller logs maybe and not blocking the wall radiator with the unusual/uncomfortable seating....5/ a note that accommodation is unsuitable for anyone with health problems (walking from the parking area).....and anyone above average size, because of the small shower ( my hubby has very broad shoulders, and found it hard work when showering) but he came in handy reaching the key safe...as I am a petite five foot tall lady....

“The only real shortcoming for me is that the heating provided is not sufficient.”

In the evening it gets very cold and the small oil filled radiator does not generate anywhere near enough heat. A DVD player and a CD player that works would greatly enhance this residence.

- Dr Batten, May 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Honeysuckle Cottage. We've spoken with the owner who has asked us to cover the points mentioned in order to help yourselves and reassure future guests. We have already put in a new high quality mattress, there is already a DVD player in place which is built into the TV, and there is CD Player available in the property. Regarding the heating there is already an electric radiator, log burner and separate oil filled radiator. We are pleased to hear that despite the points raised you enjoyed your stay at Honeysuckle Cottage. Owner relations
“The cottage had everything that was needed, but could do with a revamp.”

The seating is old and uncomfortable. No telephone connection, no WiFi. The local area is beautiful and the people really friendly, I would go back to Mousehole even out of season as shops, pubs and restaurants all open.

- Mrs Greaves, November 2018
“Great holiday in Mousehole.”

Perfect size cottage for the 2 of us. Lovely welcome pack on arrival and fresh flowers. £9 to park in the top carpark was a big steep especially as the lower carpark was only £3 (if you could get in it).

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle cottage.”

It’s a lovely little place to stay and a good location in the village of mousehole. We arrived early and had asked for a text to let us know if the cottage would be available before the 4pm published time.. we didn’t get a text but checked to see if the key was in the box anyway, just in case.. it was, so we were able to take our stuff in and get set up. The cottage has pretty much everything you need and the bottle of wine, shortbread biscuits, milk and fresh flowers is a lovely touch for new arrivals. The bed is really comfy and the towels are good quality. Parking can be a little frustrating but we managed to find a spot on the south quay and at £3 for 24 hrs its great value! Given that parking spots are as rare as unicorns, we decided to use the local bus service wherever possible, which is excellent. All in all it was a perfect stay in a lovely village.. one word of advice, it’s easier to find honeysuckle cottage if you approach from Newlyn along the coast rd, just hit the junction with the cafe on your right and turn right, follow the road round to the left and honeysuckle cottage is up a narrow alley on your right just before duck st, which is on the left.

“Property could do with a revamp.”

Well equipped but very tired. It was the attention to detail that let it down... Shower power button on the wrong way round so would constantly be on cold if you weren't able to work it out. Towel rail in bathroom didn't work & the door wouldn't shut. Lovely bed linen & bath towels. Sadly there are no views just the back of the cottage in front (which was messy with an old sofa & bbq stuck outside) weeds in plant pots by front door (which I pulled out) Some light bulbs blown, light in cooker hood didn't work, clock on wall but doesn't work. That said we had flowers, milk, biscuits & a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival which is a nice touch. Enjoyable stay in Mousehole & a good location for exploring, great bus services from Penzance & some fantastic places to eat.

“The cottage was a delight, small but comfortable and everything we wanted.”

A short walk from the harbour and the gorgeous Mousehole. We would definately visit again and stay in Honeysuckle Cottage. Two small negatives...firstly directions in finding the cottage could be more explicit as it took us some time to find it, being tucked away behind other cottages. Secondly we are fairly certain that the listing stated that parking was available...to be fair it is but at a cost and unless you are lucky to get a harbour spot could be a considerable walk away. Although this didn't spoil our holiday in any way, if we were physically less able it could have been a major concern.

“The holiday cottage and location was great but the one gripe we had was ...”

The holiday cottage and location was great but the one gripe we had was cleanliness of the bathroom shower also the water was not draining from the shower and on inspection found the drain plug was block by hair which we fix ourself all our comments was left in the book when we left

- Mr Mahoney, April 2018
“The directions to the cottage are a little confusing.”

It would be much simpler to drive through Newlyn and stay on the coast road and park in the harbour car park at Mousehole and walk to the cottage ( unless you have a mountain of luggage )

The property

Envisage a cottage for that romantic get-away in the mesmeric location of Mousehole with its almost classic, time-stopping appeal of quaint stone wall harbour, intimate restaurants and traditional inns.

Honeysuckle Cottage is an enchanting cosy dwelling, tiny yet perfectly formed for two, tucked away and screened from the road and just 200 yards from the quayside.

Venture through the winding lanes of this fishing village and explore the fine galleries.

The modern open plan living room with natural pine floors, serene decor and terracotta coloured sofa add warmth and style and the multi-fuel stove will be an inviting draw for that winter escape.

The kitchen is well equipped and a narrow staircase leads up to an attractive bedroom with an antique style bedstead. There are coastal footpaths to unravel and explore with views around Mount's Bay or head for the water and enjoy a trip on a pleasure boat or take a seal watching expedition, all arranged from the quayside.

The half hourly bus service to Newlyn and Penzance offers a wealth of attractions.

You will be spoilt for choice with restaurants and pubs to tickle your tastebuds.

Visit the National Trust gardens with exotic flora or take a look round the museums and quirky gift shops.

Marazion, with its long stretch of beach offers fabulous water sports.

You'll be spellbound by the drama and romance of St Michaels Mount, an island at high tide with fortress at the top, reached by foot by a narrow causeway at low water or ferry at high tide.

Once there, discover the small harbourside community with shops and restaurants with views towards Lands End and the Lizard.

Visit the breathtaking natural beauty of Porthcurno beach with its glorious southeast facing stretch of sand.

By contrast, the famous Minack Theatre, carved from the granite stone cliffs and jutting enticingly out to sea, is a sight to capture.

Parking for the cottage can be found in the nearby car park.

About the location

MOUSEHOLE

Penzance 4 miles; St Ives 12 miles.

A delightful fishing village nestled on a hillside and spilling down to the shore. The picturesque harbour, surrounded by its maze of winding narrow streets, draws visitors from miles around, while in the distance St Michael's Mount stands proudly in the centre of Mounts Bay. A fabulous coastline and miles of spectacular walking characterise the area, with seabirds, seals and wild headlands leading just around the corner to Land's End. The Minack cliff-top theatre is a few miles along the coast, while reminders of the region's ancient past in the form of Dolmens and standing stones appear everywhere. St Ives, with its stunning beaches, beautiful harbour and narrow winding streets is just 12 miles away.

Note: Babies welcome, regretfully no children over the age of two years.
