Guest Reviews
- Francesca (9/5): Wonderful cottage for very relaxing stay. - What a find! This was a delightful home-from-home stay in a lovely, fully equipped cottage in real comfort. It was c20 mins walk down the hill into Minehead, so offered a quieter stay with lovely views of the hills. A small seating area in the garden allowed us to make the most of afternoon sunshine and a wonderful log burner was a real treat for evenings in. That we hadn’t booked it for longer! The key-safe was a little fiddly to open…but, we got there in the end.
Take your own pillow if you don’t like firm pillows.
- Christine (10/5): The Linhay ticked all the boxes. I’d definitely like to stay there again. - It was pretty, it was comfortable and it was exceptionally well equipped. Also the views from the back were lovely.
- Peter (10/5): A Perfect holiday - The delightful cottage had everything we needed for our short walking holiday on Exmoor. There we also wonderful views to the south.
I would have no hesitation in booking again if I were in the area
It was perfect ! There was nothing
- Martin (9/5): Superb high quality accommodation. - The cottage had everything you could ask for - everything had been thought of and it was NOT one of those places you have to go and buy tea and milk. The guests comfort has been put first. The standard of decoration and interior furnishings are great. Beds very comfy. Even great quality shower gels were provided. The cottage was spotlessly clean with great quality bedding, very quiet and parking was easy. Joy, the owner, was great at communicating and it was easy to find and enter. More for information than moaning or negative...the bathroom and toilet are on the ground floor which meant night time visits were a trek and the shower was small. This is an old cottage though and the way everything is laid out and the high quality more than offsets these.
- Debs (10/5): A gem of a find - Everything Nothing
- Sarah (9/5): Perfect little gem - Comfort, style and period charm. Linhay was all of these things and more.
Attention to detail meant everything we could possibly need was to hand.
Stunning views from the cottage and garden and a short stroll to all amenities. A perfect base to explore the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend this little gem.
- Neil (10/5): A true beautiful cottage in a lovely location. - Just a very beautiful cottage very clean and quite location. Great communication from owner one of the best I have stayed at. This is more of a caution thing then a don’t like. If you are older the cottage is on a steep hill. But I would take that any day to have the quietness and niceness of the cottage.
- Abi (7/5): -
- Claydon (10/5): We had a fabulous stay at the Linhay . Home from home ! - Quiet location . Quiet , well equipped . Very clean .
- Nigel (9/5): - Fantastic cosy cottage with all amenities with a great location. Highly recommended
- Jean (10/5): The Linhay was a fabulous base for our short break. - Joy, our host, had obviously worked extremely hard to make the cottage so welcoming and comfortable. When we opened the front door on 29th Dec, we were met by the lovely glow of Christmas lights, throughout the ground floor! Everything we could possibly want / need for our stay had been provided. It was a great base for visiting Minehead and other centres such as Dunster, Lynton and Lynmouth. There was nothing that we didn't like.
- Vanessa (10/5): Exceptional. - Location, Location, Location!
Joy was also super helpful and went above and beyond ! Thank you.
- David (10/5): Loved the location and only 10 minutes walk to the mother in laws - Property was perfect for what we needed and very well stocked Everything was great
- Corinna (10/5): - We loved the location, the decor, very friendly and helpful host. Very much enjoyed our stay. No issues.
- Debs (10/5): I really did not want to review Linhay!!! As I wanted to keep it our secret… lol!!! Just a hidden gem. Absolutely fabulo - Everything Nothing
- Emily (10/5): Cosy stay in a lovely cottage, a short distance from the centre of Minehead - I was delighted with my stay at The Linhay. It is a beautiful and comfortable cottage with great views over trees at the back and the coast from the road at the front. The cottage was cosy and well equipped with everything I needed. It is also near to town with just a short walk downhill into Minehead for good shops and restaurants. Joy was an excellent host and communicated really well in advance of my stay so that I had all the information I needed. The bathroom is downstairs but this is to be expected in an older building.
- Erin (10/5): Cosy cottage - perfect holiday home away from home! - Gorgeous property - cosy and comfy and really beautifully styled. It’s so easy for an old cottage to be cold but this was so cosy and inviting. All the utensils and other bits and bobs we needed for our stay were included. Thanks so much for the milk and biscuits, much appreciated after our journey! Short walk from the seafront and shops and restaurants, parking was very close by. Would recommend and stay again! Nothing, everything had been thought of, it is great.
- CHRISTOPHE (10/5): - The house is well situated for visiting Exmoor and Sommerset. It’s very clean and comfortable. Excellent communication with Joy, our host.
- Joachim (10/5): Wie zu Gast bei Freunden - Die Anreise war dank der klaren Anweisungen entspannt. Hilfreich war auch die Info, dass die Wohnung schon vor der offiziellen Checkin-Zeit zugänglich war. Joy hat uns als Empfang Kekse und im Kühlschrank Milch für den Tee bereitgestellt. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet, auch mit einigen Gewürzen. Das Handbuch macht dem Besucher das Leben einfach (Mülltrennung, Kamin, ...). Für die nette Terrasse mit Aussicht war es uns leider schon etwas kalt. Die Wohnung ist liebenvoll eingerichtet. Alles super, gerne wieder. Nichts
- Kerstin (10/5): -
- Raymond (10/5): A little gem with a wonderful host. - This is the perfect cottage for a stay in the area. The host has fully equipped this little gem which is well located for local amenities and walks along the coast. There is nothing not to like.
- Karina (10/5): - The house was a gorgeous find, we did not miss a thing during our stay. The little garden gave excellent views for morning coffees. We enjoyed our time immensely as it was a home away from home.
- Maaike (8/5): Authentiek verblijf in een leuke cottage boven op de berg in Minehead - Een compleet en gezellig ingericht huisje. Van alle gemakken voorzien . Huisje met veel karakter Vloerbedekking op benedenverdieping, toilet op de begane grond.
- Andy Weber (9/5): Gemütliches Häuschen mit viel Charme - The Linhay ist ein gemütliches liebevoll eingerichtetes Häuschen mit sehr viel Charme. Die Ausstattung ist hervorragend. Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht und mehr. Eine liebevolle Empfangskarte lagbeim Eintreffen auf dem Tisch neben einem süßen Willkommensgruß in Form von Keksen. Die Lage hoch oben in Minehead war sehr ruhig und bot besonders abends eine tolle Aussicht. Nichts.
- Caroline (10/5): - Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, bequeme Betten, schöne Aussicht, gemütliche, stilvolle Einrichtung, reichhaltige Ausstattung, guter Ausgangsort für Wanderungen oder Strandgang Nichts
- Rod (10/5): Perfect Cottage - Perfect Host - can not fault a thing! - Just about everything! The cottage had stunning views, very quiet and very well equipped. The host Joy was amazing, nothing was too much for her. She even arranged for a fan to be delivered to us because the weather was so hot despite being away on a break herself - it was very much appreciated. The cottage catered for all our needs and more ( even down to a toolbox so we could assemble the fan!)- it was a fantastic place to spend a 3 day break. The beds were super comfy and so clean - overall such a wonderful place that we want to come back again soon! Nothing at all!
- Richard (10/5): Perfect in every way - Such a delightful little cottage with everything you could ever need amazing views and next door have a super cute cat 😺 Nothing, it was perfect
- MARGARET (9/5): - Location to coastal path
Beautiful little cottage
Well stocked with everything you need No Upstairs loo
- Paula (9/5): A lovely cosy stay at at a cute cottage up on the hill with lovely views of Minehead and the sea. - A lovely cosy little cottage with all the comforts you need, overlooking Minehead and meadows. Nice location . It was smaller than I originally thought and the bathroom was downstairs which made for a bit of a sleepy journey at night.
Poor water pressure in the shower.
- Amanda (10/5): An excellent place to stay, easy to get around - plus had fantastic weather. - wow, fantastic location (even with the uphill walk from town!) and view. Had everything required in this gorgeous comfortable cottage. Queries answered promptly and a personal touch at cottage.
- Caroline (10/5): Quiet and peaceful.what more do you want. - The house was stunning
Situated on the top of a hill with lovely views.
It had everything you could possibly need to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
- Karen (10/5): Absolutely perfect, what a great find! - We liked everything about the cottage. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipt and comfortable. Joy was really good at knowing what guests would like and it showed. We loved it. Nothing negative at all about our stay in the cottage.
- Sue (10/5): Fabulous cottage, highly recommended - The cottage was like home from home. It had everything required for a stay plus so many extras, that you would not necessarily expect in a holiday let. All furnishings were of a high quality. The beds were comfortable and bedding was again good quality.
The kitchen was well equipped with a dish washer and washing machine .
We were lucky with the weather so was able to sit outside and enjoy the garden and the fantastic view.
The position of the cottage was great a quiet and pretty part of Minehead. It was a good position to visit other beauty spots.
We would highly recommend and love to stay again.
The owner Joy left a welcome note and her number if it was needed. There was nothing negative we could say.

- Jason (9/5): Superb - The views

- Mark (9/5): Weekend Getaway - Beautiful cottage in wonderful surroundings. Great views and located in a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.
The cottage itself was like a home away from home, practically everything you would need is ready and available. Great communication from the host. Highly recommended. Will definitely return if I'm in the area again.
- Sarah (10/5): Excellent value for money 3 night stay in clean cottage with fantastic living facilities. - Fantastic cottage on hillside overlooking centre of Minehead. Excellent facilities throughout, including everything you could need in kitchen, very clean, comfy lounge, adequate bathroom. Smart TV, comfy beds, flexible heating etc. Nothing, all great.
- Himcam (10/5): Cosy little cottage very comfy and homely -
- Jacqueline (10/5): Exceptional - Little personal touches including cup cakes for myself and my sister, Large hill
- Elizabeth (10/5): A beautiful, homely cottage perfect for a lovely stay. - The location was the best! The views were spectacular with many lovely routes to explore North Hill. The decor made the cottage so super homely. It had everything you coud possibly need and more. We love to cook our own food and the kitchen was very well equipped and easy to use. The living room was comfy to settle down in. We loved sleeping in the back bedroom and waking up looking out over Minehead. The recycling facilities were good. Joy left us milk and ingredients for hot drinks to welcome us. Everything was so nice. I was hoping to get to meet the next door neighbour's cat in the back garden but I didn't see it this time. Perhaps another time!
- Sue (10/5): A cosy cottage which has a wonderful feel especially at this special time of year. - We arrived at the Cottage and as soon as we opened the front door we were blown away by how beautiful, clean and inviting the cottage was. The cottage is so cosy, so comfortable and had everything we could possibly need for our Christmas stay, we cooked our Christmas lunch with all the trimmings and had all the equipment we needed. The bedrooms both had beautiful bed linen and our bed was really comfortable. The Log burner was wonderful and gave a lovely glow to a beautifully decorated lounge. The owner Joy had left us a Christmas card, Christmas crackers, mince pies, a bottle of Cava and fresh milk which were all gratefully received, a special touch. There was absolutely nothing not to like.
- Simon (10/5): Wonderful cottage and host, all perfect. - Everything was perfect, from the communication with Joy ahead of arrival until checkout. The property is wonderful, newly refurbished to a very high standard with everything needed and more for the stay. Key collection and entering the property was perfectly straightforward. A very nice view from the main bedroom over Minehead and Exmoor. A good selection of tea, coffee and biscuits for our arrival. I enjoyed the fireplace, which gave a great cottage experience. However, the cottage was otherwise very well heated and comfortable. Will definitely return on my next Minehead stay. Nothing to improve.
- Sarah (10/5): perfect Minehead stay - Beautiful cottage, clean and lovely welcome pack. location is great, comfy beds and helpful owners! Can't think of anything. It had everything i needed!
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Location was good, good sized fridge and freezer. Beds comfy. Fantastic communication from Joy. Key safe for entry. Nothing.
