  We were a party of 6 adults with two dogs.

  The property is a fabulous size and is convenient for Washford, Watchet and Minehead. The steam railway stop is close by and was very popular with our group. The listing is accurate and they do advise of road noise… the road is very busy and the noise is heard most in two of the bedrooms plus the kitchen. Positives.. Size of rooms… all are excellent even the twin has its own shower. Plenty of wardrobe space. Outdoor space … excellent and enclosed so safe for children and pets. The field area for the dogs was really appreciated. Outdoor seating…. plentiful and comfortable. Outdoor facilities… hot tub, chess, table tennis , sauna: hot tub used regularly, table tennis very good too although we did have to buy ping pong balls to play. Perhaps leave a few in the house for the inevitable loss of some in play? Parking…plenty of room for 3 cars and even though the larger property on the same site was occupied there was no issue getting in or out. Indoor facilities… games room was a bonus and was used by the group. Large tv and games provided for evenings.Plenty of seating in the living room so all could sit together and the double doors out to the garden were good in the hot weather. Kitchen was big enough to cook for a big group. Communication… easy to speak with Sarah and she advised us by phone that the property was ready to occupy ahead of the stated time.. we really appreciated this.. thank you. Housekeeping bond returned quickly. Just a few niggles in the negatives… Quality of decor… felt a little tired and could benefit from a repaint. Shower in double bedroom needs attention… coming away from wall? Barbecue… appreciated the starter fuel but no tools to use it.. very difficult using ordinary kitchen tools. Blinds …all stated that the blinds should really be blackout on the velux windows as although we loved the beautiful sunshine we wanted a lie in on holiday. Curtains required for the large , garden facing bedroom please. Washing line and pegs… couldn’t find any. There is an excellent washing machine and a dryer so not a real issue but would have appreciated being able to put washing outside to dry. Internet provided but the strength is not adequate for the size of the property.. perhaps a few boosters ? We all loved our time in this property and the positives far outweigh the niggles. Beautiful part of the country too.

  We stayed at the Linhay at the end of April for a week as our first holiday since restrictions have been relaxed.

  The holiday exceeded our expectations! The house itself was well equipped especially the kitchen. We are foodies who love to cook and all the things needed to make amazing meals were there. The welcome basket was also much appreciated! The amenities were also top notch. The pictures do not do the place justice! The games room is roomy and perfect to while away time! The lounge was massive and so comfortable. The hot tub and sauna were both well maintained and we used daily. Someone came to check the hottub twice daily which was much appreciated. Our puppy loved the adjacent field with the small stream that you can use for dog walking. We had several walks and picnics in the second larger field as the views were amazing. One thing that the site pics don't showcase is that you have 2 enclosed garden areas. One to the front and one to the side. One to the front is lawned so perfect for meals outside and kids and dogs to play and the other laid to hard service where the hottub and sauna as well as kids play area and outside table tennis and sitting area are. As we were leaving we were lucky enough to bump into the owner who was so gracious. He gave us a tour of the larger adjacent property with the pool and we will definitely consider it when we book with a larger group. Thank you so much for an amazing holiday! Will definitely be booking again!

  The property was very well presented, with a new kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, en suite shower etc all equipped to a very high standard.

  It has obviously been refurbished extremely well. All the kitchen appliances were very good quality, and very clean.The property is, as stated in the information, very dog friendly, although there were no doggy smells at all. It was very clean throughout. There were 2 allocated parking spaces in the residents car park directly opposite the property. There is also a public car park about 250 yards down the road if there were more than 2 cars. It was also most helpful to have an email from the owner a few days before our arrival with comprehensive instructions. Well done! However we have one or two other comments. We booked the property as it will accommodate 8 people sleeping, which it does very well. However the lounge has 2 settees which only allows 6 to sit comfortably. We were originally going to be 7 adults, later reduced to 6, so it just worked out OK. The kitchen (which is about 10ft square) doubles up as a dining area, and the clever table arrangement expands very well, however there are only 2 benches which will sit 4 people, but we had to bring 2 garden chairs in for the other 2 people. If we'd needed to sit 8, there would have been not space to work in the kitchen as well. While the sleeping arrangements are fine for 8 adults, the living space is really maxed out with 6 adults.

  What a truly wonderful stay we had over the New Year period.

  We were a party of 7 adults and 2 dogs and this cottage was perfect for us. Really secure garden so didn't have to worry about the dogs if they were outside, the garden also had a gate that led directly into the field which was perfect for the dogs to run around in. Kitchen very well stocked with cutlery, glasses, crockery etc. The hot tub and sauna were both used and were thoroughly enjoyed. Beds were really comfortable. Just a couple of things to note, not that these will stop us from looking to return: There are two internal steps in the property leading from the kitchen to the dining room and lounge, not sure if this was listed in the property description. The floor boards upstairs on one side of the property are very noisy. Lastly, not sure if I would recommend to people who are wanting plenty of walks from the property. There is a local pub about a 10 minute walk but there are no paths along the busy main road so we personally didn't feel comfortable walking the dogs down here, neither would we if we travelled with children. But with that being said Exmoor and Quantok Hills are a 20 minute drive away so you're not far from some walks. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our break and would very much love to return one day.

  30 West Street is the most dog friendly cottage we have stayed in, beds, bowls, throws and cages in the bedrooms if needed.

  Our three girls enjoyed being outside in the two secure areas. The lower being a patio (which could be gated) and the upper garden with raised beds and slated areas. The cottage kitchen was extremely well-equipped with everything you might need including a lovely welcome tray with different teas, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. The plumbed in cold water and ice machine particularly welcome as we were extremely lucky with the weather, sunny every day. Every room was beautifully furnished, fresh and very clean. The property has two allocated parking spaces right across the road which was very useful. The town’s folk made Watchet an unbelievably welcoming and friendly place to stay. Almost every business is dog friendly so no problems going shopping, eating out or having a pint or GandT. West Beach is rocky and although first impression doesn’t look great there is a ‘boating lake’ which doubled up as a doggy swimming pool and our girls loved running amongst the rocks. If you are looking for a dog friendly holiday you really can not beat 30 West Street and the town of Watchet. 5 ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ all the way. Thank you for a wonderful holiday
