    Hot tub was great for relaxing in at the end of the day. Bed linen was good quality and comfy beds too for a good nights sleep. There’s nothing we didn’t like. It was in a good spot to get to other places. A few local food places and an Aldi and Asda up the road which was a bonus.

  • "What a beauiful holiday and staying at Long Linney was absolutley First class."

    I have a disabled wife with moving difficulties but found this property perfect for her and my two little shih tzys thought they were in heaven. There is lots of space around this propert and plenty of car space area. The kitchen had everything you would ever use to make and cook meals. The hot tub was first class clean and very warm ready to use. The main bedroom is very spacious with a very large bed with ensuite bathroom. Any problems if any would be sorted out very quickly by the hosts Kim and Rob. Very nice people to talk too. I can recommend this property to anyone thinking of Long Linney. A big thankyou to Kim and Rob.

    We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Long Linney. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your feedback. Property Owner

  • "Long Linney is a lovely cottage, extremely spacious, comfortable and well equipped."

    Beautiful living room, super views and of course the hot tub is a real bonus. Our main issue was that the description states the property is suitable for those with limited mobility, ground floor bedroom, bathroom etc...which was the reason I booked, as my partner is a wheelchair user. Unfortunately, nowhere in the description did it state that there are actually several internal steps which made it an extremely difficult and at times, tiring for him. I feel that this needs to be included in the description. As another guest suggested, larger towels are needed (we had to buy bath sheets from b&m down the road) as the ones provided are small, and there are no spares for the hot tub...maybe suggest guests bring their own for the hot tub, if it's not possible to provide them? Overall we enjoyed our stay, and the owners were quick to secure the gate so our little escape artist dog couldn't squeeze through the gaps, which was appreciated!! I would recommend, but I do think the description needs amending.

    Thank for your review and I am glad you enjoyed your holiday but very sorry that you found the two small internal steps, one going up to the bedroom area and one going up to the main bedroom a problem. Unfortunately accessbility and access can encompass a wide range of requirements for individual needs and although Long Linney has been used very successfully by people with a walking frame or walking stick as the steps and walk in shower have professionally installed grab rails we do not advertise the cottage as suitable for anyone in a wheelchair so I am sorry that you didn't ask in advance of booking for a copy of our accessibility statement which would have have provided information on floor surfaces, door widths and internal layout. Sykes offer a number of accessible cottages in a separate section on their website (we don't feature in these) and they recommend even with these properties that guests phone in advance of booking just to check a specific cottage will meet specific needs. Finally I have asked for the description to be altered to make it clear that we provide hand and bath towels (not bath sheets) and that guests need to bring their own towels for the beach and hot tub Property Owner

  • "Beautiful location and very well equipped."

    Gorgeous garden with lovely views and very peaceful. Liked the hot tub, and the books & games. Would have valued larger towels and extra towels for hot tub/ a refresh during the week. I was very disappointed not to be able to host my sister, as a hard working NHS worker, one of the planned highlights of our holiday was to cook her dinner and give her a breather, but despite saying guests would be accommodated where possible there was no conversation or flex given beyond a flat no. No visitors should be clearer on the up front booking details, as I wouldn’t have booked it if I’d known.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and thank you for your positive comments about Long Linney. We appreciate your comment about the size of the towels we provide and it has been something that we have previously looked into. However, at this current moment in time we are not able to supply bigger bath sheets as we do not have the washing and drying facilities currently (as everything is done in house) to be able to process them for the number of cottages we manage. We are hoping in the future to install an industrial washing machine so that we can then be able to supply bigger towels. Regarding your comment about a midweek refresh of towels, we feel that we provide ample towels for a week stay and all of our self catering cottages are equipped with a washer/dryer and laundry detergent for guests to use if they require. Finally, i appreciate that you were disappointed about not being able to host your sister and her family for an evening. But Sykes make it very clear in their booking terms and conditions that guests not stated on the booking form are not permitted on site (point 7.3.2 in the booking terms and conditions). And this is reiterated via the pre- arrival email sent to you by the booking agent. We also send a pre-arrival email, which states that non resident guests are not permitted on site without prior agreement due to insurance policies, health, safety and fire protocols which are carried out for the maximum capacity of the cottage, which for long Linney is 4. We are sorry that we were unable to accommodate an additional 5 visitors but as you were already at maximum capacity the cottage does not have the appropriate facilities to host a total of 9 people for dinner as in your request. We are saddened by your last comment as we do believe it is made very clear by the booking agent and we regret if you missed this when you booked. Property Owner

    The cottage was absolutely perfect in every way again, the location is wonderful, the level of security for our dogs is great and the cottage was so well kitted out for any length of stay. We loved being able to watch the sheep in the field and the owners were so attentive and responsive to when we contacted them for anything. The hot tub is always a happy bonus and we loved spending our evenings watching the sunset and the stars come out. We absolutely love the cottage and look forward to many more stays there in the future :)

  • "What a beautiful cottage!"

    We have just returned from spending a week in this stunning cottage, the views are beautiful, facilities fantastic. Everything that you need for a home from home. Even a dishwasher! The area is stunning, in the countryside with a short drive to some absolutely beautiful beaches. We took our two mini daschunds and most of the beaches are dog friendly which is fabulous! Lots of little villages with plenty of places to eat and pick up gifts. Long Linney is definitely somewhere we would stay again, even though it’s on a working farm not once did we feel intrusive. We spent every night in the hot tub and it felt very private. Beautiful gardens for the dogs to run in, a bbq and hot tub. Did I mention the hot tub??! All in all a lovely place to stay and we would definitely recommend it!

  • "Beautifully presented cottage sitting in a quiet domain on a working farm."

    The owners have made every effort to think of everything you may need for your stay and even leave out some very tasty tea time treats. My only criticism is a housekeeping one and that was that all of the windows and internal glass doors were dirty. When the rest of the cottage was so lovely and you spend your time looking out at the beautiful views, this was extremely noticeable. Easily remedied.

    Thank you for your comments and we really appreciate your feedback. The internal glass is done every change over by the cleaner. I will however follow up with the cleaner to make sure that they are more vigilant with this in the future. On inspection since we have noticed streak marks left on the internal glass after cleaning rather than dirt. I will speak to the cleaner to look into changing the product used on the glass in the future so that the glass is not left streaky. In regards to the external glass, we clean this ourselves once a month (the first change over in a new calendar month). We do appreciate that the outside glass would have been dirty as over the past couple of weeks the fields surrounding the property have been ploughed and cultivated. Which mixed with the extreme wet - dry weather we have had has kicked up a lot of dust. We have also experienced during this time the dust settling on the windows of our own property which is situated in the same courtyard as long linney. Thank you again for taking the time to feedback to us as we do really appreciate it and we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. Property Owner

    The owners' Rob and Kim couldn't have been more helpful. On our arrival everything was ready. There was a treat for the dog including a roll of dog poo bags, we'd brought our own, but this was a nice touch. A pint of milk and some biscuits were left for us too. The cottage was clean and there was ample cooking equipment to use. The garden with several seating areas was a nice addition. The hot tub was hot and ready for us to use on the evening of arrival. We were also lucky to have a field full of the owners' sheep and their lambs in the field during our stay too. We would highly recommend this cottage to everyone.
