Ask yourself this question !, why not so many reviews about this place! This is advertised as a cottage, when it's a barn conversion ( poorly constructed) . On arrival at the property the owner of the 4 properties will call across to see you , and try to befriend you( is this to make you feel as though you should not review his place, you decide) firstly we noticed cobwebs in every room, under the kitchen table, behind the sofa, behind the bookcase, ground floor w.c , stairs areas, every room had cobwebs and spiders, the rear bedroom window did not close due to broken hinges( this should be picked up as a maintenance issue/ fault) the spider issue was pointed out to the owner, who sort of brushed it off as it's common as living in the country, when clearly it because of the poor conversion of this barn, there was gaps everywhere, around pipe, between walls, oak beams had gaps that you could slide a pencil into. This is poorly constructed and if I was the owner I would certainly be embarrassed, staying here did spoil our family holiday, as we did check out after 4 nights, we then booked into a clean hotel, what should of been a good holiday turned out to be a nightmare due to this cottage/ barn, ( empty barn adjoining this place has gaps leading and allowing mice, rats , spiders to enter this property, the front door has a 10-15 mm gap at the bottom. I have lodged a complaint with the booking agent, they where advised that the owner has installed an electronic device deterrent to prevent insects( surely this is admitting to a problem) . But after spending over £1,200 plus on just 4 nights, then having to book into a clean hotel, the owner of wheal honey has not offered any partial refund, this shows how selfish and inconsiderate this owner is, it also makes me realize that the rumours are true about Cornwall holiday property owners: that they just want your money! I will rate this 1star just for the location off the dirt track down the winding lane, where the car gets scratches from the bushes...please BE AWARE.

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.

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.

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.

Miss Knight, July 2019

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!

A little home from home!! Arrived after along journey and we could get in early to the cottage which was very helpful as we had a little one with us. We were greeted by the owner and showed round the property to which we discovered a lovely bottle of wine left for us and a pint of milk in the fridge, with tea, sugar and coffee available which makes a difference. Fully Kitted out kitchen including washer and dryer with washing powder to use! The sky TV with Wi-Fi was very helpful when you have a little one to entertain and you’re trying to unpack. The cottage is very comfortable and in a great location with great views and no noise, making for a very peaceful nights sleep, on a very comfortable bed. Didn’t want for anything! Would definitely stay again!

On our family holiday to Cornwall we booked a self-catered cottage. We were looking for somewhere that was kid friendly and self-catered and ticked many many boxes such as Sky, wifi, washing machine, etc. I found the cottage that ticked all these boxes and more on Sykes Cottages. Wheal Honey! The kitchen is well stocked with under counter fridge, stove and oven, washing machine, dryer and dish washer. You also have pots and pans and cutlery and anything you'd need to cook and clean. Everything you could need from dishwasher tablets, detergent, tea bags, coffee. The hosts Ann and Howard also provided a pint of milk and a bottle of red wine which I thought was a very nice touch. It allowed us to have a cup of tea fresh from driving more than 5 hours! All in all the cottage was very comfortable and very nicely furnished. We could even picture ourselves living there! Ann and Howard were very accommodating. Howard came to greet us shortly after we'd settled in and if we needed something he was happy to help us procure it. Even our really random request for super glue! If you're looking for a cottage to stay in, I highly recommend Wheal Honey! For a full review and photographs please see my blog Hobson Experiences

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.

Mr Mellows

Lovely cottage with great history, lovely view across rolling green fields and ideally situated for access to all towns and villages throughout Cornwall..

Holiday was lovely.. Lovely place to stay. Exceeded our expections.

Amarraffa

We arrived and was welcomed with a bottle of red wine as well as loads of tea, coffee, and sugar. Plus also milk in the fridge. The holiday cottage is absolutely fantastic and have extras which we didn’t imagine such as sky, WiFi, and even a dishwasher. We were greeted by Howard who asked us if everything was ok and if we needed help with anything then they only lived round the corner. A folder is also provided with numbers of local services including a restaurant. Cant fault anything with anything. The hospitality is top notch and would definitely come back. Keep up the good work!!!

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.

I don’t normally add reviews, although always read other peoples, however this is an amazing place. Owners very welcoming (even down to a pint of milk and a bottle of wine on arrival) and accommodating, cottage very well equipped and in such a lovely setting. Very close to lots of activities across Cornwall. A real home from home. Will definitely go back next time we’re in Cornwall

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.

Excellent home from home. Everything included for our 2 week stay even down to little added extras . Highly recommend this amazing cottage !!!! Owners very friendly and welcoming., can't wait to return.

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.

Dr Van Lishout

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.

This was the best property we have stayed in, it is a little gem and hopefully we will return again in the near future.

June 2016

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.

Mrs Andrews

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.

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.

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.

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.

We spent a week at this cottage from 5th July. Generally the place is very comfortable although the bathroom left a little to be desired (the mirror was not really high enough for someone of six feet tall to shave without having to duck down and there could be more shelving). The kitchen facilities were more than adequate for our needs. The location is very rural and apart from the occasional pheasant extremely quiet. The view from the back across a fertile valley to a small farm on the other side of the hill was lovely. We were made very welcome and Howard and Ann who were more than happy to give us recommendations and directions to the local eating places and shops.
