Guests consistently commend the cottage for its spotless condition, noting it as clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The cottage's secluded and peaceful setting in the heart of Exmoor is celebrated by guests. Its proximity to local attractions and the ability to start scenic walks right from the doorstep are highly valued, despite its remoteness requiring a car for convenience.
Reviewers find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy wood burner, comfy beds, and a warm atmosphere. The spaciousness for adults, children, and dogs alike adds to the comfort level, making it a relaxing retreat.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with a well-functioning heating system and kitchen amenities. However, some guests experienced difficulties with the heating and a lack of instructions, which suggests room for improvement in providing clear guidance on using the facilities.
While guests mention thoughtful gestures like an information pack and biscuits, there is insufficient evidence to assess the consistency of such gifts or additional thoughtful touches across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts will be provided.

Lovely cottage , ideal for walks straight from the door down to the River Barle or onto the moor., with uninterrupted views from the back. Well equipped kitchen with everything you could need. Quiet with a private garden and private access to the stable yard , there were no horses here when we stayed. The garden is not enclosed but butts straight onto fields which you can access , so was not a problem. Very cosy and warm with efficient central heating and a log burner.

The location of Linhay Cottage was beautiful. Many lovely places to visit near by. The walk into Withypool along the river directly from the property is very picturesque, as was the walk to Tarr Steps (a longer walk, quite steep in parts but well worth the effort). The cottage was very warm and cosy.... The location of Linhay Cottage was beautiful. Many lovely places to visit near by. The walk into Withypool along the river directly from the property is very picturesque, as was the walk to Tarr Steps (a longer walk, quite steep in parts but well worth the effort). The cottage was very warm and cosy with stunning views, very quiet and private too. The beds and linen were super comfortable. We were very grateful to the host for accommodating us at very short notice, and the phone call to confirm our booking and touch base from the host was appreciated, thank you. This is our third time of booking with Best of Exmoor. They have a great selection of properties in the Exmoor area and the booking process is always super quick and easy.

Really enjoyed the cottage, absolutely ideal location for us and our two Flatcoats. Lots of great walks directly from the property and the field was a real bonus. Very comfortable and spacious cottage.
