Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests frequently commend the property for its spotless condition and pristine presentation, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout.
The property is appreciated for its quiet village setting and proximity to beaches and attractions in North Devon, though some guests noted the narrow access roads and the distance to certain amenities.
Reviewers consistently describe the property as cosy and comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and quality fittings, although a few mentioned the potential for early morning light due to unblinded rooflights.
The Linney is well-equipped for a holiday stay, with guests satisfied with the kitchen and storage facilities. However, some guests suggested improvements to the Wi-Fi, shower curtain, fridge, and TV.
Guests have noted the thoughtful extras provided, such as fresh eggs and flowers, which contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. While these gifts are warmly received, they are a gracious gesture from the hosts and may not be a consistent offering.
About this property
Situated just a short walk from the local pub in the quiet village of Littleham, with a range of Cornish and Devonshire attractions close by, is The Linney. This studio-style cottage boasts lots of appeal, from the vaulted ceilings and timber fixtures, to the raised platform for the king-size bed. Surrounded by countryside in a peaceful setting within the owner's grounds, where sheep graze in the nearby fields, enjoy a refreshing stay with your loved one. Light the woodburner on a cold, winter's evening and wrap yourselves up in the warmth filling the whole room. There is a split-level, open-plan interior, with a well-appointed kitchen, cosy sitting area and a dining area for those romantic evening meals. Outside you have a small seating area with bistro-style table and chairs, ideal for soaking up the summer sunshine with a drink in hand. A short walk will bring you to the village pub in Littleham, which boasts real ale and home cooked food, and just 4 miles away are the beautiful sandy beaches of Westward Ho! You are in a wonderful location for exploring some of North Devon’s most notable attractions, with rugged coastline, the market town of Bideford and the fishing village of Appledore close by.

The Linney on the other hand had constant good reviews and I was delighted to see that they were correct. This little haven was comfy and quirky,and filled with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There were several walks locally, and the Tarka trail was accessed from 'Scratchface Lane' near the village hall. Although the lanes are narrow when driving, they aren't too busy. Many thanks to Vicki and Pete who made me and my dog feel very welcome.
