    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Beth - Verified booking

      We had a wonderful stay at Penhaven and would highly recommend it as a base.

      It's very cosy, well equipped and in a great location- close to the beach, harbour and coast walks, right opposite the village store and a short walk to the always welcoming Paris pub. We were in Coverack with our 2 children for the 90th birthday party of a local family member at the beginning of January and we all loved seeing the colourful Christmas lights along the front, very festive! Things which would have been helpful - a hatchet/small axe for splitting firewood. Some of the logs were too big to be useful. We ended up borrowing one. - instructions for the Sky box, we couldn't work out how to use it! (We had our own devices, so wasn't a problem) - the kitchen table is very wobbly! We tried to stabilise it but couldn't. (also the chairs are extremely heavy - some people might struggle to lift them) - the oven could do with a clean. There was a strong greasy smell when it was turned on (possibly it was used to make a big Christmas dinner the week before?!) Anyway, all minor details - essentially it's a very lovely, comfortable cottage and we really enjoyed our time. Thank you!

    • Mr Lacey - Verified booking

      Honeysuckle cottage is such a comfortable and cosy, well equipped, dog friendly place to stay. Our Jack Russell terrier loved it, as did we! There was a much appreciated ‘welcome pack of goodies, and a generous basket of logs for the wood burner, great for winter. Clean, well designed and with a thoughtful contemporary feel, the cottage is located in a very interesting Suffolk village that includes a great Pub and an excellent local shop (that is so much more!) For local walks and to exercise the dog, there is also an excellent, extensive public common just a few hundred metres up the road with mown paths, running through hay meadows, a variety of wildlife habitats and ancient woodland. Walk the dog or jog for a mile or two. A great facility ‘on the doorstep!’. All in all, Honeysuckle cottage is thoroughly recommended. We certainly hope to return!!

    • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

      Wow! Where do I start?! We have stayed in cottages all over the country and this gem of a place has been the best! Lovely helpful owners who told us about some fantastic place to visit. The welcome hamper was amazing and the freshest eggs from the cottages new chickens! The cottage was so comfortable and cosy and had everything you could possibly need, set in a stunning little village. The walks from the cottage were superb. If you don’t fancy cooking there are numerous places nearby to eat for example Millers farm shop for breakfast and snacks and a little shopping, to Tuckers thatched pub just a few miles away. I would recommend River Cottage Kitchen in Axminster for an evening meal, delicious! Over all I would absolutely return to this cottage. We simply did not want to leave! Thank you 😊

    • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

      Really nice cottage, although all on different levels the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was beautiful, but in the basement, this meant having to navigate the winding narrow staircase down two floors from the bedroom, definitely not for the faint hearted or anybody slightly infirm. Superb welcome hamper was very welcome. Safe easy parking for the car. Small but well kept village location, nothing there but the Kings Arms pub, which was very welcoming serving good food and dogs welcome. Long drive to anywhere of interest along narrow twisting lanes for miles. Craig who met and us on arrival proved to be a very good and always on hand when needed. Overall a pleasurable three day stay. Fully recommended, but not for anybody unsteady on the legs because of the stairs.

    • Mrs Evans - Verified booking

      The cottage is clean and tidy and is a great bolt hole if you are looking to explore Suffolk. This cottage is a great size for a small family or for a couple who are keen walkers. The ‘nature’ reserve as the back garden is beautiful. It is well equipped for a self catering holiday, and the added air fryer was a welcomed extra. The country pub at the end of the road is award winning for its food and the staff were friendly. The meadow at the end of the road is beautiful for dog walkers or a picnic. The beach at Dunwich village is a 5 minute drive away and the parking fee is by donation. Would suggest beach shoes as the shingle beach was painful for our feet. The cafe at Dunwich beach served good food at reasonable prices.
