Heather cooks a great breakfast and the surroundings made it the most perfect break for us!" Lesley & Richard, Oxford, November 2011

"Booked just one night at this gorgeous cottage. What can I say, absolutely stunning cottage. Heather is a lovely lady and made us very welcome with a cup of tea sat in her beautiful garden in glorious sunshine. We stayed in the bedroom with ensuite and this was lovely with views of the gorgeous garden. Breakfast was equally as great. Would highly recommend this cottage. Just a shame we had to leave. Thanks Heather for a very warm welcome into your home." Charlie & Ant, Mansfield, August 2011

"The Cottage was exactly how we imagined an English Country Cottage to be! Where we are from in the States, we think a 100 year old house is very old, so stepping over the doorstep into Honeycombe Cottage took our breath away! A wonderful stay which was the highlight of our Trip to visit my Son, who has settled in the UK. Thank you!" Dave & Penelope, Los Angeles, USA, January 2009

"The cottage brought our Thomas Hardy Tour to life - thank you! We were within walking distance of Kingsbere Church and the Tomb of the D'urbervilles - fantastic!" Flip & Sandra, Sydney, Australia, March 2008

I thought a holiday would be good and luckily I stumbled across Honeycombe Cottage and we immediately fell in love with it. Seeing it for the first time exceeded all expections - what a beautiful cottage, set in lovely surroundings. It really is a place of tranquility and the batteries were recharged in no time.

I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!" James & Jill, Belfast, September 2006
