The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a restful retreat. The log burner roaring and a glass of wine made a very romantic evening. Saw plenty of wonderful wildlife including the otter who pops up to the pond for a sneaky dip. The fenced paddock was ideal to let the dog have a run around before going out exploring the lRead moreocal area. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, with plenty of local knowledge of places to visit and local events. Hide

We spent a very relaxing Christmas in your lovely cosy cottage. It had everything we needed for our stay and the enclosed garden was an absolute bonus for our 2 dogs. The hamper was amazing and it was a lovely surprise, thank you. We would love to visit again and we will definitely recommend this cottage to friends.

The location is in amazingly beautiful countryside and not too far to the coast. Our hosts, Spencer and Gemma are gracious, charming and helpful. Our cottages Orchard and Lynhay were both very comfortable and well equipped.

We stayed in Linhay for a week at beginning of July and it was amazing. So clean comfortable. The grounds were well looked after and it was lovely to walk round the lake and watch the ducklings. I hope they are ok as I counted 8 one morning and only 5 a couple of days later. Saw Mr or Mrs Foxy hanging around one morning
