Accommodation Details
Two bedrooms: 1 x double, 1 x twin. Bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC. Open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area.
Superbly located for touring the beautiful Roseland Peninsula, this delightful, two bedroom terraced cottage is situated in the unspoilt 13th century coastal village of Gorran Haven, just a two-minute walk from the beach. As you step into the porch and the open plan living room at Honeysuckle, you immediately feel at home. There is a kitchen, a dining area and a comfy sitting area where you can all gather after a day out and relax. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom whilst at the front of the cottage is the patio, an ideal spot to end the day and watch the world go by with dinner and a refreshing drink. Located in a valley, well off the beaten track, Gorran Haven remains the same as years gone by, with lots of old cottages nestled around a secluded cove. The bay is sheltered from the prevailing west winds and families can enjoy its two sandy beaches offering some of the safest bathing in Cornwall, making it ideal for all ages. A few minutes from the cottage on foot, not only are you on the beach, but you can also find all the facilities and amenities you need for your stay, including an excellent bakery, a pub, and a well-known fish and chip shop. With lots of major Cornish attractions close by, such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project, as well as the famous fishing village of Mevagissey just three miles away, Honeysuckle is an excellent cottage for a seaside holiday, whatever the time of year.
Once a crab fishing village, Gorran Haven on the south coast of Cornwall is ideally placed to explore the many beaches and coves in the area. Gorran Haven has a small sandy beach, connecting with the longer Great Perhaver beach at low tide. Much of the coastline in this area is owned by the National Trust, including the 370 feet high Dodman Point, rising above Gorran, which is thought to be one of Cornwalls most dramatic headlands, and the cause of many a shipwreck.

Reviews
If you are looking for a comfortable cottage in an idyllic location then Honeysuckle may be what you are looking for. If you want night life then it isn't. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities required. Would definitely book again.
Me and my wife booked this cottage then we looked at the review on trip advisor showing only one star . so we was quite concerned however everything was perfect the cottage was clean and tidy and just painted, and great location as its only a minute walk to the beach we had an amazing time the porch did smell a bit of damp but that did not affect the cottage in any way but we did leave our damp shoes there as i am sure everyone does i would be happy to go aback again as its a very nice cottage and area to spend time with your family
We are not regular contributors to Trip Advisor reviews but felt compelled to report our recent experience at Honeysuckle Cottage.We decided to return to Honeysuckle cottage where we had happily stayed many times over the last 25 years. Wow! What a shock! The whole place on the outside looked very tired and poorly maintained. This was just the start of our disappointment. On entering the cottage we were immediately hit by a pungent, stale, musty odour. The whole place felt damp . We were told that the cottage had not been occupied for some months but we didn’t expect it to be in this condition. We immediately opened all the windows to try to reduce the odour but to no avail. We were then further horrified to find that the whole cottage was in dire need of a good clean.The kitchen area was filthy. Grease was evident everywhere. The cooker extraction fan was caked in stale grease. Some of the cooking equipment had seen better days.The bathroom was disgusting with dirty , corroding fittings especially around the toilet area.The towels and bedding were disappointing to say the least!. The accumulation of dust on light fittings, skirting boards and almost all horizontal surfaces gave an unhealthy feeling to the interior, not conducive to a relaxing holiday! We decided not to unpack all of our suitcases because the persistent musty smell did not go away for the entire stay. In fact when we returned home the musty smell came with us and all of our clothes, worn or not had to be laundered. We did not enjoy our stay which was a shame as we had many happy holidays under previous owners. On returning home we received a customer feedback request from the letting agents and received a follow up call the next day .However, both the agents and the owners referred to ‘ the small print’, stating we should have reported the issues at the time so they could have been given the opportunity to rectify them. However it was difficult to see how the whole cottage could have been brought up to an acceptable standard within the week we were there.In any case it should not be up to paying guests to report such basic and obvious issues. We feel the property should never have been let in this condition, irrespective of previous occupancy. We will not be returning to this property again. A very unpleasant experience!!
