I had a lovely stay, for a week.
The location was perfect: light free, and peaceful. The cottage was traditional stone, a lovely airy space with beams, warm and spacious with easy heating controls, and well stocked with kitchen implements, although some needed replacing.The fridge and freezer were not particularly clean, and the oven grill/tray was past use at all. The bath had previous occupants hair in it. The double bed really needs replacing: when I rolled over all the springs crunched together and you could feel you were in contact with the wooden base. Ditto the small 2 seater sofa, very uncomfortable, and the cushions were flat as pancakes. It would have been nice to have been given a couple of washing power capsules, as is standard if washing machine facilities are available. The laundry room was clean and accessible. Wifi was slow in the lounge but fine in the main bedroom. I had one small bath towel and one handtowel for a full weeks stay. I asked for a second small bath towel, so I could wash my hair when I had a shower, and the host refused to give me another towel! I've never experienced this, it seemed a bit mean. (As a comparison I've just stayed 3 nights in Bath and was offered 2 of each sized towel, a face cloth, and a shower mat every day.) If someone wants an extra towel, give it to them, this makes a difference. Being that the cottage is 4.5 miles from the nearest decent food shop (Aldi near Bodmin), it would have nice to have a decent welcome pack like a loaf of bread, block of butter, half a dozen eggs, and a pint of proper cows milk, (instead of the tiny UHT pots that were left), with 4 teabags and 4 coffee sachets. I would happily have paid an extra £10 to have this kind of if welcome pack, to save me having to go shopping again for basics after a long journey. Perhaps that's something you can consider? Overall a lovely place and if the bed and sofa were upgraded this would be a top notch little place.

Wonderful cottage in a perfect location.
Just returned from a week at Beehive Cottage and it was one of the nicest UK breaks we have been on. The cottage was lovely and well equipped, had everything we needed. The garden is much nicer than we expected as there are no pictures of it, but there should be as it's really nice and we sat out there most evenings. From the description you also don't realise that when you go out of the cottage, the view is spectacular and there really ahould be some pictures of this as well. We would definitely return. Port Isaac is a stunning place and this cottage is perfect to explore this region. My only criticism would be the instructions on how to get to the cottage. We misunderstood and tried to access it from the wrong end of the coastal path resulting in my husband scratching the front wing of the car as it's too narrow. Not the best start to the holiday, but it was OK once we got in the garden and opened a bottle of wine! Once we explored, we realised you access the garages by coming through the coastal car park, opening a barrier that says private road and the narrow entrance it tries to explain on the instructions is like a small underpass under some apartments, not the footpath on the coastal path from the other end near the front of the cottage. We did ask the neighbour, but she's clearly sick of tourists and simply pointed to the way we ended up trying to go! The garage is super tight- we've got a Jag and it only just fitted. We did say we should have brought the mini as it would have been much easier, but then we couldn't have fitted everything we brought in that or had a comfortable 6 hour drive! Anyway perfect holiday, just needs clearer instructions on how to get your car in and be aware that the seagulls will steal your bacon butty if you leave it unattended in the garden!

Cottage looks very pretty with flowers around the front of property.
Very spacious rooms. the room with four poster bed was furnished to enhance the age of property with beamed ceiling & en suite bathroom again designed appropriately . nice bright modern shower room off the twin bedroom. the large swimming pool was well used by us as we had excellent weather. there were a few negatives which could improve the holiday experience. the main rooms were clean however the floor lamps in the living room were very dusty & the conservatory had several cobwebs & dusty window sills. the conservatory is in need of some TLC as the woodwork is very shabby , there are no blinds in here so gets unbearably warm. the room itself is very large & furniture was comfortable & when not too warm is a good place for sitting quietly to read. the settees in living room are sagging so therefore not the most comfortable. the outside furniture was ridged old wooden furniture which again needs to be treated, therefore despite the glorious weather could not sit outside. if you have a dog with you there is no secure garden for them. we enjoyed our holiday but the owners need to spend some time & money to bring it up to scratch as it is a pretty cottage with lots of positives.

Centrally located for touring all of Cornwallâs coasts .
. just a 5-10 minute slow drive to get to any ârealâ road. We also found Bodmin Parkway railway station (15-20 mins drive) convenient and cost effective, to visit Looe and St Ives. The emailed easy-to-follow route instructions from the owners were appreciated, as sat nav didnât recognise the final half mile of very narrow, bumpy farm track. Owners explained in the guidance book, about the wifi being slow, and why. We found this a real handicap, as it was actually very hit and miss on our iPhones and iPad. Perhaps some mention should be made by Sykes in their cottage features list? We almost didnât book, because the lounge photo shows a tiny tv (why do so many owners do this? .. a decent telly is only £200 .. we almost always ignore a property, if pic shows a ridiculously small telly). HOWEVER, telly had been swapped, and there was a nice 32â one provided. SYKES need to change the photo, to reassure potential clients, who may be put off. There are some nice walks, but always starting back down the farm track. Overall, we had an enjoyable week, but would not return, purely because of the WiFi deficiency.

I loved Beehive Cottage.
It had everything I needed for my weeks stay. The garage was an added bonus, just taking a couple of times to really get the hang of the space, but was really useful. I had a MINI Countryman which Iâd say is the largest sized car youâd want to attempt to park in. The garden was a beautiful space to chill in when I was done with exploring for the day. Inside, the main bedroom was super comfy and light and airy, with a lovely view. Iâm funny about beds, and this one I slept in like a brickâ¦unusual for me! Going to sleep listening to the waves was magical. The kitchen and living space was practical and clean. I would definitely love to return. It was my first time using Sykes Holidays/John Bray and the one bit of advice Iâd give would be to arrange for a welcome pack; just something nice and practical to greet you to your holiday after a long drive. It would really add that touch of a warm welcome and personally I really noticed itâs absence having had something at all other companies Iâve used over the years. Other than that it suited my every need and Iâm likely to book it again in the future. Nikki x
