"We had a wonderful stay at the Linhay - it's a dream bolthole, tucked away in a perfect slice of North Devon countryside.
Our young boys loved exploring, loved the freedom of the woods and the maze of footpaths on the doorstep. We spent lovely days on the beach and magic evenings around the fire/s (rain and shine!).
Lovely welcome, lovely thoughtful touches and a trip we will treasure!"

Tip:
"An evening stroll over to the local pub was the perfect first-night outing. "

Thank you so much. It was simply lovely to welcome you and your boys to the Linhay and it was so good to see them enjoying the magic of Butterhills. You certainly explored a lot of North Devon during your stay too. Do come back and visit us again :) x

"Our host Caroline could not have provided a warmer welcome. With a delicious cream tea, fresh eggs and a enough milk to get us started. The Linhay is a wonderfully designed space with all the facilities you need and is isolated enough that you don't see or hear anyone or anything other than the birds and the stream but not too isolated.
Whilst this is not a criticism it should be noted that sleeping upstairs is for the more agile, due to the steep steps and low beams there isn't much room to manoeuvre and it gets pretty warm particularly after using the wood burner during the evening (which is great by the way). Not to worry, there is a perfectly comfortable double futon bed downstairs.

Tip:
"My wife and I took great pleasure watching the various birds on the feeders throughout the day. Due to the wet and cold weather during our visit we spent quite a bit of time inside relaxing. If you’re fortunate enough to experience dryer, warmer weather you could eat your meals outside, have a BBQ or have a few drinks whilst sitting around the fire pit.
Staying within Butterhills there's a lovely short walk through the woods, and you can even walk to the little village of West Down where The Crown Inn serves delicious food and with very friendly staff. Braunton is only a 10 minute drive away and has everything you need if you don't wish to travel far, although there are several beaches within 20-30 minutes by car.

It was great to welcome you both to the Linhay and we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay in spite of the damp Devon weather. Thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review, I'm sure future guests wishing to book will find it really helpful and it's always lovely for us to know that we're getting things right!

"Enjoyed a lovely couple of nights, just what we needed, cream tea on arrival was lovely; homemade scone and jam were delicious, Caroline was welcoming, very helpful, lovely to chat to. The Linhay was quaint, peaceful, you could hear the stream while sitting in the cabin with the door open. Very spacious, shower was lovely and hot. We had a walk of Butterhills, very peaceful, on the last night we had cows join us in the field in front of the Linhay, which was lovely to watch them grazing up and down the field, we took a number of beautiful photos while we were there. It was very cosy with the log burner on, bed was comfy we both slept like a log. Eggs were very tasty from Caroline’s chickens."

Tip:
"The Crown Inn food was delicious and the best onion rings we have ever tasted; staff were friendly and service was really good
Grill on Sauton beach; food was lovely, didn’t wait long, service was really good and staff were very friendly. Also had a walk on the beach, very windy at the time but we had raincoats on, hoods came in handy.
Lyndon and Lynmouth railway stunning views, lovely walk around, cafe at the top does great coffee; sausage rolls and pastries very tasty; it was also lovely to take the railway down to the bottom; we were going to walk up but noticed how steep it was and decided to use the railway back. Also ice cream from there was also lovely.
Ilfracombe is also lovely, stunning views, lovely town to walk round and also stunning walk up steep path to the top of a hill, views were worth it."
