Guests say
Long Linney in Devon is highly praised for its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the secure garden for pets, the luxurious hot tub, and the property's cleanliness. While most reviews are positive, some guests suggest improvements in accessibility for those with limited mobility and additional outdoor seating. The property's hosts, Kim and Rob, are commended for their responsiveness and hospitality.
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with many reviews highlighting how clean and fresh the cottage is upon arrival. One review mentions dirty windows, but this appears to be an isolated comment in the context of otherwise glowing feedback.
The location is described as peaceful, with beautiful views and a quiet setting on a working farm. It is also mentioned as a good base for exploring North Devon. The only minor drawback noted is the late check-in time, which could be inconvenient for some guests.
The comfort of Long Linney is frequently praised, with guests mentioning the spacious main bedroom, cosy living room, and comfortable beds. The secure garden and the hot tub add to the overall comfort of the stay.
The property is well-equipped, with special mentions of the kitchen and the hot tub. However, some guests noted the lack of larger towels and outdoor loungers, and one guest had difficulty with the microwave, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests mention a welcome pack and treats for both humans and dogs, the reviews do not consistently indicate that such gifts are a standard offering for all guests. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that these thoughtful gestures are a regular practice, and the score is set to null.

Lots of space. Secure garden for the dog. Very clean with everything we needed for our stay. Really comfy bed. The hot tub was well maintained and a lovely bonus after a day out exploring.
