“The Linney was first class in every aspect.”

Absolutely spotless, very well equipped and providing everything needed for a wonderful holiday. The cottages are deep in the beautiful South Devon countryside and are therefore very quiet and peaceful. Despite the rural location all of the coastal resorts are close at hand and easy to get to. Simon and Sue were very warm and welcoming and the scones and jam and fresh-laid eggs were much appreciated. We would certainly go back with no hesitation.

“Had a wonderful week in well equipped cottage.”

It's a great countryside location but within easy reach of the tourist hotspots. Wonderful views from our outside seating area. Even though there are other 2 other cottages it still felt private. Shared washing machine/dryer for a voluntary contribution came in handy. Resident cockeral has an early wake up. The owners are lovely and can provide apple juice, eggs and sausages which we enjoyed. Would definitely come back.

“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.

“We had a lovely time at The Linney at Northleigh Farm.”

Set in a fairly remote farming community the views of the countryside go on for miles and the sounds of grunting pigs and the morning Cockerel really makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. The accommodation itself was incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean and we really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for us and our two little doggies. With lots of places to visit on the doorstep such as Beer, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth we found plenty to do. It was also a lot of fun driving of the narrow country lanes and through the occasional Ford.

“The accomodation was excellent, clean, very well equipped and warm.”

The beds were very comfortable, Mr. and Mrs. Potter were very welcoming and we enjoyed a very relaxing week. My granddaughter loved the chickens, pigs and cows. I would highly recommend it.

The property

4 miles from Colyton, deep in thick, lush hedgerow lanes in the Coly Valley, is the sleepy hamlet of Northleigh, 5 to 7 miles from the lovely coastal villages of Beer, Sidmouth and Branscombe.

On the edge of Northleigh, three cottages converted from traditional Devon barns on a small mixed farm raising beef, free range poultry and a few piglets.

The Linney opens from the courtyard on to your open plan living space with seating area for watching TV, a dining area and a well equipped kitchen.

On sunny days, open the glass doors to your patio for eating alfresco and the shared lawn.

Head upstairs to your two comfortable bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.

Ducks on the pond (fenced), cobblestones in the courtyard, a soppy dog and dignified cat make this an utterly charming place to stay, unwind and enjoy a friendly, rural idyll.

This property can be booked with The Shippen (976058) and Battens (976059) and together they sleep 14.
