Holanen

We had the most amazing week in the most stunning home we have ever visited. I will be informing all of our friends that they cannot miss out on this experience. Thank you to the owners for such an amazing stay!

What more can we say that hasn´t been already! Holanen has certainly "ticked all the right boxes" where everything is concerned. Genius design in a beautiful location, such an enchanting view which is ever changing and mesmerising. The attention to detail is faultless- a peaceful and thought provoking haven. A memorable home to spend a special birthday.

Thank you very much for all you have done to create and share such a wonderful retreat. You have thought of everything that could be needed to thoroughly enjoy every moment of our stay. Through sunshine, showers, winds and storms, Holanen has been uplifting, magical and spectacular. Mousehole is now our favourite place in Cornwall. Thank you!

A truly exceptional home with the best views in Mousehole! We have loved staying at Holanen, thank you. Staying here has made this one of our most memorable visits to Cornwall (and there have been many!) It´s hard to leave but we look forward to a return visit before too long.

A magical experience, in a magical village, in a magical setting! The views are amazing and the wildlife abundant. You have renewed our love of Cornwall, we will treasure our visit so much. Thank you.

It´s almost impossible to come up with enough superlatives to describe this house and the experience we have had here! We´ve travelled the world but nothing compares to the splendour of Holanen. The setting, the breathtaking view, the architecture, the furnishings, the many unique details throughout the house... the list goes on. We´ve had an amazing week here, thank you for making it so special.

Perfection; the house the furnishings and above all, the view.Special thanks to the housekeeping team for the spotlessly clean house - no corner was missed! We have had an absolutely wonderful week at Holanen. Thank you!

What an amazing place! Thank you so much, you can never tire of the fantastic views and wonderful scenery. We loved it all and your thoughtful extras were very well received, especially the hamper and the rug (very handy for our trip to the Minack Theatre!) Thank you and we look forward to a return trip soon - Holanen was just what we needed!

We loved spending our honeymoon here. The pictures don´t really do this place justice! It is fabulous; light, airy, modern and homely. The kitchen is so well-equipped which was a bit of a relief as the weather wasn´t ideal for eating out! Thank you for all the effort you have made to make this a perfect holiday home.

We´ve had a wonderful week at this amazing property, a real gem in Cornwall! The views are just incredible even on a rainy, misty day. Holanen gave us everything we were hoping for during our stay; so comfortable, so convenient in the gorgeous Mousehole, and everything has been thought of. We loved reading about the project, the vision, and how Holanen came alive! We hope to be back very soon!

A real treat to come back to Holanene two years after our first visit. The perfect spot and a welcome break. Still perfect - lovely meals and some beautiful coastal walks. Thank you for your flexibility and all the extra work that has gone into making the property Covid safe.

The moment we arrived at Holanen we fell in love with the home, the views, and the entire atmosphere; stress simply melted away. It´s truly been a perfect retreat after such a restricted period of time! The owners were mindful and welcoming, and everything in the house has clearly had a lot of thought put into it. Mousehole is a lovely town, peaceful, and a perfect base to explore from. We cannot wait to return one day in the future, and we leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!

A truly fantastic home with breathtaking views. Our week was a carryover from last year due to the pandemic and it was well worth the wait. The direct views of the sea (and so close!) are just so relaxing to the point we rarely ventured out, instead opting to stay in and enjoy this incredible location.

This was our second visit so we knew what to expect, and Holanen lived up to those expectations, yet again. This trip was especially welcome after a long period of lockdowns. Lovely house, lovely town, lovely views!

Well, at last! After so many changes and moving our booking due to Covid, we were determined to come to Holanen and we´re so grateful to you! What a tonic! I burst into tears of relief and delight on arrival. We have certainly been rejuvenated by daily swims in the harbour, walks along the South West coast path, lots of deep sleep and time to simply be. Thank you so much for sharing this glorious, private spot. We have been very happy here.

Wow, wow, wow! Knowing that a break over the new year was likely to bring changeable weather, we hoped that booking Holanen with its magnificent view would make it feel like we were outside enjoying the scenery, even when we couldn´t. It hasn´t disappointed! Every day the scenery changes with the weather. Every hour there is something new to see. A truly magnificent location and a spectacular self-build. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We´ve had an amazing stay at Holanen. The view is beautiful, the house is cosy and welcoming; it´s the perfect place to have a holiday. Keep your eyes peeled for seals and dolphins! An early morning kayak or swim in the harbour is magical. Thank you so much, we´ve had the best time here. We loved it so much, we hope to come back again soon!

It takes your breath away when you walk in! I guess you never get used to it, the views are constantly changing. We have had a fabulous week enjoying your lovely design. We loved it so much, we´re coming back next year!

We knew the moment we walked inside that we would have an exceptional stay here. I haven´t stopped congratulating myself for finding such a beautiful and tranquil place to escape the madness of Covid London. The house and views are amazing and Mousehole is a treasure; we´ll be back!

You must be so proud of what you have achieved here. Holanen has it all; style, attention to detail, views to die for, but more than that, the feel of the place is something else. We have had such a special few days and decided not to go anywhere, but here. Many, many thanks.

We loved our stay at Holanen, it was a stunning location and stunning property! So much so that we have already sourced doors and wood burner for future reference for our own project in the Cotswolds! All the information they gave us was really helpful, everything was covered in the notes. We would certainly book again; a very special place and the attention to detail is brilliant.

We all had the most wonderful time in your beautiful house. Thank you so much for having the vision to create it. This is the most fantastic location and the view from the terrace will stay with us forever.

Wow, wow, wow! Holanen is perfection and Mousehole marvellously mesmerising. Everything was exceptional and that view is just delightful. We had a wonderful stay and cannot wait to come back. Thank you.

Thank you for creating our dream holiday home, we have loved staying here! It has been the perfect antidote to all the stress and fear of Covid-19, we could breathe and live again. We have been mesmerised by the view and lulled to sleep by the gentle wash of the tides on the granite rocks below. We´ve listened to the seagulls call across the waves and watched the seals laying in the sunshine. We´ve been swimming (a leap of faith!), walking, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. In being close to nature, we have returned to our natural selves. Joyous and grateful. Thank you.

Thank you for a memorable stay in your lovely home, the views are so breathtaking it will be difficult to ever forget. We loved the open space and the various relaxation options both within and outside the walls of the house. We will miss hearing the sounds of the ocean in the morning and trying to spot the seals! Thank you for all the recommendations on where to visit and for the very warm welcome to Holanen.
