Guest testimonials

Unique Homestays is our favourite - provides romantic and different breaks for us, which is especially important to us. It really feels like home from home wherever we stay. Thank you

We had a lovely stay at Little Portion. Everything was so thoughtfully put together in the cottage, we could completely unwind and take a break from it all. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed having a drink in the garden with the lovely birds and sounds of nature. Thank you for everything.

What a delightful little hideaway. Little Portion is an excellent spot to settle in for an evening and allow the tension to melt away. If you have just arrived and are looking for inspiration, don´t delay getting down to Holywell Bay as it is truly beautiful. A walk down to Polly Joke is also well worth it. We loved our stay here despite the predictably, unpredictable British Weather! Thanks for a lovely home from home.

We wanted a secluded, discrete but stylish cottage that we could hide away in for our Minimoon - Little Portion ticked all the boxes with modern amenities but the style and quirk of a hidden garden shed/cottage. It was so up our street!

Little Portion was the most perfect respite following some very challenging health issues. It is a true gem with eclectic and sumptuous furnishings, a fabulous kitchen, and dining space. With the doors open you can really enjoy the outside space from within. Days spent walking the dog on the glorious beaches, cosy evenings in front of the wood burner, and glasses of bubbles in the hot tub or lazing in the decadent deep bath. It was a little portion of heaven.

Little Portion is the perfect escape from the everyday, and with all the little luxuries and amenities provided it truly felt like a home-away-from-home. The comfy bed, proximity to the beautiful bay and getting into a hot tub after a day of exploring was definitely the cherry on top! We had a great week and will definitely book with Unique Homestays again.

What a wonderful house Little Portion is. We particularly loved the attention to detail throughout. We got here in the end, third time lucky after having to move our stay due to the pandemic! The house is in a fabulous location and we enjoyed brilliant weather - thank you for arranging this! We will certainly be recommending the house and your team to our friends and family, and we hope to return again in the future.

Thank you for the most wonderful week away. The cottage is an absolute dream. We felt at home right away and in complete, luxurious comfort. Our dog, Bailey, gobbled the dog biscuits right away as he snuggled on the dog bed. We love the beautiful garden and the hot tub is fantastic. We are sad to be leaving and would love to return.

We have had the most amazing week here at Little Portion. Every detail has been thought of and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor area. It´s great proximity to the local beaches and a lovely place to return to in the evenings. By far, the best place we have ever stayed.

We have had such a relaxing stay here at Little Portion, what a treasure! It was lovely exploring the area and nearby beaches, the weather even kept it together! A perfect weekend away, thank you.

By far the nicest place we´ve visited anywhere in the world. In all seriousness, the styling and comfort is second to none. Not a thing missing or wrong. Truly amazing, and we cannot wait to return. Thank you.

We have had an absolutely amazing time at Little Portion, we really have! Such an incredible place to spend the New Year and see in 2020. We love everything about it and its wonderful little quirks. It´s just so beautiful. Also, this was the place we became engaged which makes it even more special. The log fires, the decor, the amazing comfy snuggly bed, the hot tub, that shower; all fantastic!

This has simply been one of the most relaxing places to stay. Little Portion is beautiful! It has everything you could ever want from a lovely cottage and we do not want to go! It has been an amazing weekend, we will definitely be back.

What an absolutely stunning property! Long walks on the beach, cups of tea by the fire and candlelit dinners in the gorgeous kitchen. This place is an absolute dream. You have created a very special space at Little Portion. Thank you for sharing it with others.

All aspects of this property are amazing! The beach being less than a mile away is fantastic and the local shop is super handy for the ‘just in case’ moments! I love Unique Homestays properties as they always exceed my expectations and have the wow factor come summer or winter.

We have had an unforgettable time in this beautiful cottage and we wish all future guests have the same! Thank you!

We have had a fantastic stay in this amazing cottage. We have enjoyed every moment, as has our baby pug! Very relaxing, we would love to return to Little Portion again.

Many thanks for our stay at Little Portion, we will certainly book with Unique Homestays again. We had great days out in Cornwall and the house made the holiday perfect. We think the house is magical! There´s always something interesting to find, and you are always discovering something new in this little cottage. Thank you!

Little Portion was divine! A cleverly thought out property in a good location with every amenity you would ever need. It was a gorgeous little place. From start to finish we had a great experience and will definitely be booking again!

We couldn´t recommend this property enough. It was comfortable, clean, designed beautifully and has everything you´ll ever need. We loved everything about it. The fact that it was so close to lovely beaches was a bonus!

Little Portion was such a treat and was a perfect match for us. It was our first time in Cornwall and we completely fell in love with the area. After visiting Hollywell Bay, I would wake up in the morning with a smile on my face just looking forward to going to the beach again. Our dogs loved it there as well. Returning after a day out was relaxing and refreshing with the perfect amount of privacy. Compared to other cottages we have stayed in, this one was the most romantic, inspiring and relaxing, and has brought myself and my partner closer together.

Thank you, Little Portion, for giving us a relaxing and peaceful break. We really enjoyed spending time together by the fire in the evening after a nice dip in the hot tub. We would come back here again and again.

The property was absolutely stunning and in a very quaint location which allowed us to escape for a couple of days. The house was finished to the highest standards and was very Grand Designs-esque with its rustic finish and superb modern facilities e.g. bathroom and the hot tub. The perfect place and home away from home to settle for a few days by the open fire and relax. Our stay was perfect so thank you!

We had an amazing stay. We simply loved Little Portion. The cottage was so well equipped; it had everything we could have needed with lots of luxury touches throughout. The facilities and location worked out perfectly for us, our new baby and our dog. It was such a treat to have the hot tub too. We will definitely be returning, in fact we´re already looking at dates for next summer!
