  I have just returned with my family after a weeks stay.

  We stayed in The Linney. It was very peaceful. The location I would describe as remote although only 5 miles from the nearest town. You are very much in the Devonshire farm country with tiny lanes and no street lighting. I loved that part of my stay. The cottage was great with all the amenities you would need for a self catering stay. The grounds on the farm are very picturesque. Simon and Sue were very accommodating and saw to any issues we had. It was lovely to turn up to fresh eggs and milk and home pressed apple juice. The site suggests that there is WiFi at the location. There is indeed a WiFi but virtually no connection to it. I could not connect all week in fact. I wasn't especially bothered as I went away to forget about that, but just know that if you are going, especially with kids that use WiFi then you may be disappointed. I would pre download stuff to their ipads before you go. Also I'm on O2 and there was virtually no phone signal there either until you got to the nearby town, but that's rural Devon for you. Not a negative, just something to be aware of. Finally, the current photos do not do the cottages justice. They are better than the photos suggest. They are lovely and I would happily go back as a base for South Devon and Dorset, its fab.

  This was our second visit to Dalmose as we really enjoyed our stay last year. The accommodation is perfect with a large garden and so much space. We have three dogs so it was lovely to have the utility room to store all their equipment and food. The bedroom we stayed in, had lots of space and the king size bed and pillows are extremely comfortable. The property is located in a fantastic position which is around 5 - 10 minutes walk to the beach, where there were numerous cafes and shops. There are also a number of dog friendly pubs. The food from the local fish and chip was made to order and delicious. There is also a large supermarket within 10 minutes walk. We visited Seaton Beach which is the local beach several times. The property is perfectly positioned only 10 - 15 minutes drive from other local beaches and towns/villages. We visited Beer, Branscombe Beach, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth where we walked up to the Bye a large grassed area along side a stream which was perfect for walking the dogs. We had a fantastic break at Dalmose and would go again for the third time.

  The cottage Dalmose was perfect for us and 3 dogs with a lovely large garden. It was very clean and well looked after and formed a fantastic base for local visits. Dalmose is extremely comfortable with lovely king size beds which were extremely comfortable, including very comfortable pillows. Hence we slept really well. We visited Lyme Regis and Sidmouth both 15 - 20 minutes drive away. We spent a day on the tramways which was just a 5 minutes walk to Seaton Tramways station. Seaton beach is just 5/6 minutes walk from the cottage as are the local shops including an Aldi. The local pub is dog friendly too. When we arrived we struggled to initially find the cottage and then to get the car on the drive as the road was quite busy around 4pm. However, there was free parking on Meadow Road a side road just opposite the cottage where we managed to find free parking daily. We would definitely book the Dalmose again.

  Pit Close was comfortable, clean and so pleasant to stay in.

  The house was decorated for Xmas which was a lovely touch and we were left milk, mince pies and plenty of hot chocolates sachets, sugar, coffee and teabags which was a lovely touch. The property is spacious, warm with the underfloor heating and if you are looking for somewhere that is quiet and relaxing this is your place. The roads to get to the property are extremely narrow country lanes which were not a problem for us as we never came across any cars luckily, If you are staying here just make sure you are stocked up with food etc as the nearest supermarket is in Axminster which takes extra time due to the narrow country lanes. There is a shop in the nearby village, we never went there but I’m sure it will be good for supplies of bread, milk etc. I could not fault this property and cannot wait to book it again in the summer months to take advantage of the bifold doors and patio area and amazing views.

  A very nice place to stay for a holiday in East Devon.

  The setting is great. All of us, including our two year old, loved the company of the various farm animals. We regularly went to see the ducks, chickens and pigs and enjoyed the visits to the back door of the Guinea fowl. The cottage itself has a spacious layout with all you need for a week away. The cottage is located 20 minutes drive from the east Devon coast. Branscombe, Beer and Seaton are all within easy reach along the charming country lanes. The friendly hosts were on hand to help with any questions. A nice touch was the welcome pack of apple juice, cake and eggs on arrival. The freshly laid eggs were particularly delicious!
