  The property itself was lovely, the location stunning and the hosts were great.

  However there were many problems with the cottage. The bed was extremely uncomfortable with no support in the middle. I had to roll up the spare quilt and put it under the mattress to stop ourselves rolling into the middle. There was no shower and not enough hot water for a decent bath. The floorboards in the bedroom, landing and stairs creaked loudly so that if one of us got up it always woke the other. The 2 single beds were damp, the walls mouldy and the wardrobe unusable because of the damp smell. The sofas were sooo uncomfortable . The kitchen not really fit for purpose ie, limited cupboard space, cooker had such low pressure it took an age to cook anything. The conservatory leaked. No view of the garden or countryside from the outside space. In general the cottage was tired and in need of updating. Not a place I will be going back to.

  The room has the most spectacular views of Lynmouth.

  Gillian is a very nice welcoming lady who makes you feel as though the place is your own without any petty rules and regulations. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who likes walking as it is situated half way up the hill between Lynton and Lynmouth so whichever way you go you will be going uphill either on the way out or on the way back. It is a good base for driving to places like Ilfracombe and Woolacombe and Minehead. Best meal of the week was at the Blue Ball on the road out of Lynmoth really first class. Access to the property is up a narrow driveway not suitable for very large vehicles, my Jaguar S type was probably close to the limit for size. Over all this is a lovely place and I would highly recommend.

  Robin cottage was clean and tidy and we knew that it was small so that was not a problem.

  But unfortunately it wasn't clear to me that it did not have any garden at all. I had read that it had a shared courtyard with furniture which I expected to be joined to the property. As it was the courtyard was along the road from us. Stepping out through our front door you were on the road itself, and we found it quite awkward for our dog especially in the middle of the night if he needed a wee. I think there were only two cottages without enclosed outside space and I feel that this should be made clear when booking as unsuitable for dogs. Lastly the walk to the pub and shop was pretty difficult as the only way to go was so overgrown. The pub was worth it once you made it there though and the food was lovely.

  Linhay is a beautifully converted building - I particulary loved the mezzanine bedroom.

  Very comfortable, well-equipped and lovingly maintained. The view from the main bedroom is just beautiful, and we loved the remote location and the great local village and community shop. The sunny conservatory and private yard was very attractive.The host, Margaret Weeks, was friendly, helpful and welcoming and close on hand if any problem were to arise ( we had none!). The location might be a bit of a challenge for nervous drivers - quite steep hills, narrow bridges and high-hedged lanes are the norm in this vicinity - we just loved the relatively remoteness. Wonderful immediate access to the moor - literally outside the entrance gate.

  The cottage was comfortable, clean and in a prime position for seeing all that Dartmoor offers.

  Two niggles and the first could easily be rectified. The lighting in the lounge/living area was very poor making it very difficult to read, this was especially regrettable as tv consisted mainly of football/tennis during our visit. Improved lighting is needed. The second which would be impossible to improve, but I believe should be made clear is the bathing problem. The ceiling is too low to shower although the information did say there was a hand shower. I think it should be made clear that it is not possible to stand to take a shower. The bird/wildlife in the garden was a joy to watch and a real treat.
