This is a 5 star property in our opinion. It is extremely clean, well equipped and furnishings are of a high standard. We really didn't want to leave after a week. The patio area is large and a real suntrap- enabling us to sit out in March when the sun was shining on the very comfortable recliners! We just loved everything about it- the area it is in,walks from the door, a short walk to the village- all make it a break where you could park up for the week and not use the car if you wished. Kate and Roger are friendly owners who seem to genuinely want you to enjoy their property. |

| Cottage Review:
This is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. It is beautifully furnished and equipped by Kate and Roger who provide a personal and warm welcome. The cottage has views of the coast and gives easy access to the network of footpaths around Mortehoe and Lee Bay. The cottage is in a quiet location with a secluded patio garden. The wood-burner is lovely for cooler evenings. The provision of WiFi is a nice feature. We will definitely be coming again. |

What a fabulous experience our holiday was. We were given a warm welcome by Kate and Roger and were given the most wonderful cream tea. The cottage is excellently equipped, tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished. It was lovely to see the most stunning views and have peace and quiet except for the wonderful sound of the birds singing. A short walk from the village, we found The Chichester Arms to serve the best pub grub we had had in ages. We are definitely looking forward to staying again this year. |

The care that Kate and Roger have put into the renovation, furnishings and upkeep of the Long Linhay combine to make it the perfect holiday home. Quiet, tastfully furnished and very well equipped nothing has been overlooked. Easy, and more challenging, country and coastal walks start at the Linhay. There are excellent beaches nearby, as are bus routes to Woolacombe, Ilfracombe and Barnstaple. |

A fantastic property! The Long Linhay is furnished to a very high standard with everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible! The location is great with beautiful, breath-taking views. It is also situated within walking distance to Mortehoe village. The hosts Kate and Roger are very welcoming - nothing is too much trouble. We had a fantastic holiday - myself, my husband and 12 year old son. We are definitely going to return again. Seriously, the pictures and reviews do not do it enough justice - you need to visit!!! |

We have just returned from a very relaxing week at The Long Linhay. Kate and Roger were there to welcome us, cream tea on the table! The Long Linhay has everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and so enjoyable. The cottage is equiped to an excellent standard, very clean and well designed. We found excellent places to visit to appreciate the lovely countryside around. Kate and Roger were excellent hosts and we will be back to enjoy this lovely cottage. |

My husband myself and my son have just returned from a weeks stay at the linhay . I have never stayed in such a beautifully furnished and equipped cottage. kate and Roger have thought of everything you might need. We loved watching the birds in a morning. The beds were really comfy ,my son had an air bed and he said it was more comfy than his bed at home! We loved going for the walks in the evening,and the cream tea when we arrived was a lovely welcome !Kate and Roger were perfect hosts,and we will most certainly be returning . |

a beautifully refurbished cottage, in an ideal location with stunning walks/views of the surrounding area. a home from home the owners had thought about your every need, from a log burning fire, all mod cons in the kitchen, a powerful shower and tv in lounge and bedroom. extremely well presented and kept by the friendly owners.

Absolutely Fabulous!! This must be one of the best hide aways in NW Devon for 2 or 3. Whether as a jump off point to explore the surrounding countryside or become a total recluse for the period of your stay. The brochure is an understatement in all areas. You will not be dissapointed. |

After spending the most wonderful family holiday at Yarde Farm in September, I couldn't wait to return. Taking a break with a friend we asked Kate and Roger if they could accommodate us at The Long Linhay. What a fabulous hideaway - every room has that "wow" factor, being equipped (even binoculars to watch the birds) and furnished to a very high standard and squeakly clean. We walked during the day, returning to sit in the garden to soak up the last of the sun and then curled up on the sofas in front of the log fire with a glass of wine - perfect. Then to a restful night's sleep in the most comfortable beds. The area is stunningly beautiful with no need to use the car, just amble through the back yard to Mortehoe Village or along the coast. Kate and Roger have once again provided a beautiful holiday home - there should be a rating higher than exceptional - perhaps "the place you dream of". I can't wait to return. |

Having just spent 3 glorious days at Long Linhay, just a short walk from the friendly, well serviced village of Mortehoe, I must write to thoroughly recommend this idylic place for a peaceful and very comfortable holiday. The facilities of Long Linhay are indeed superb and make your holiday so relaxing and effortless. A truly wonderful time was had - the log burning fire and extremely efficient central heating system helped make our time at Long Linhay so, so comfortable - The beds especially! Best nights' sleep I have had in a long time. Kate and Roger were so very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I came with my friend who had visited twice before with her family to Yarde (the larger property on the same site) so she knew it would be great. It does not disappoint! We enjoyed the lovely walks and beaches in this area of outstanding natural beauty. Long Linhay is also of outstanding quality and beauty and I wish Kate and Roger many more discerning vistors and every success they richly deserve for the love and hard work they have put into this cottage. I will certainly be returning. |

A stunning property with fabulous views. from the warm greeting from the owners, until your departure, you could not wish for anything more. Extremely spacious with quality modern fittings, but in a traditional style. The courtyard/patio is vast, and makes a wonderful private sun trap. Lovely walks abound and there are some individual pubs in the village. A great place to escape to. |

Before we arrived at the Linhay we must have stopped the car 3 times just to take in the stunning views surrounding Yarde Farm. The linhay is gorgeous, the kitchen is immaculate with every appliance available for you to self cater, the lounge is really cosy with leather sofas and a wood burning stove, the bathroom is luxurious and the bedroom is beautifully decorated with lots of storage space and loads of coat hangers! The bed is the most comfy bed I have ever slept in. Kate and Roger are the most perfect hosts and helped us find some lovely restaurants, beaches and walks. This really is the best self catering holiday home I have ever had the pleasure of staying in, I can't wait to go back there. |

Our first conversation around the farmhouse kitchen table at Yarde while tucking into tea and homemade cake provided by our hosts Roger and Kate began something like this: ‘We thought you could stay in the Long Linhay and the rest of us draw straws for the rooms in here. ’ After having a sneak peek around Yarde Farm, with its immaculate bedrooms, luxurious bathroom and wet room and cosy lounge and dining room complete with open fires, my husband and I felt like we’d drawn the short straw already. How wrong could we have been. The Long Linhay complements Yarde perfectly - modern kitchen, comfortable bedroom, separate bathroom and cosy sitting room with log burning fire and the added bonus of sweeping views of the valley and sea beyond from the large sun terrace. Built last year using locally sourced materials, the Long Linhay works in perfect harmony with the area’s breathtakingly rugged landscape and has clearly been a labour of love. If you’re looking for a romantic hideaway, a good quality base for a walking holiday or to take it over with Yarde as a group booking, as we did, I would highly recommend it. It's much larger than your average accommodation for two and head and shoulders above the competition. I for one can't wait to return again out of season to sit by the cosy fire looking out of the window at the sky full of stars, enjoy a private viewing of the stunning sunset on Barricane Beach and take the coastal walk to Lee Bay for a hearty lunch at The Grampus. |

We were the first people to stay in the Long Linhay after its completion - what a privilege! Excellently and thoughtfully equipped, tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished, this cosy holiday let even has a large private garden. With stunning views and peace and quiet, this is an ideal getaway for two. |
