We have just returned from a wonderful stay at the Linney. The cottage is beautifully presented and the little extras to welcome us were an added bonus. We loved being able to sit out and enjoy the spectacular views and the wildlife including all the new born lambs. A liitlle bit of paradise in the cornish countryside.

Lovely well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location. There are lovely walks locally and on the north and south Cornwall coasts, both within easy reach. There is a lot of information available on-site and Jane and Ian are always around to provide extra information or help if needed. There are good local community shops in St Tudy and St Breward andRead more the local pubs in these villages are worth a visit. Highly recommended. Hide

The Linney is a perfect cottage for two with an amazing view. The owners are very welcoming and are on hand for recommendations. The cottage is perfectly placed to visit Tintagel , Boscastle and Padstow. There are some great beaches to visit and if you get the weather lovely places to swim.

Amazing views and a very warm welcome are assured at The Linney! We found the location perfect for exploring North and South Coasts. We took the Camel Trail from Bodmin to Padstow and on another day i rode Padstow and back from the cottage as it's only 1 mile from end of the Camel Trail at Wenford Bridge. Depending on confidence you may want to driRead moreve down to the start as it's quite a steep hill. We also did a walk from Bude, had great days at Tintagel, Lanhydrock House, Polperro and Looe. The cream tea on arrival lasted us all week as lots of cream and jam supplied with 4 scones! Cottage is lovely inside and out and did I mention the view!! Huge thanks to Jane and Iain for making it a great week away. Hide

A fabulous cottage in a fabulous location - very quiet, no road noise, just the birds and cows from a distant field - Jane provided excellent goodies on arrival, chocolate buttons were delicious and Jane sells these in her shop! We were so pleased to find this cottage, after being so fed up with other properties with mismatched junk shop furnitureRead more and poor facilities - The Linney is perfect, Jane is always on hand if you need her - we will definitely return, peaceful and relaxing, highly recommended Hide
