Linwood Reviews

Gary
Our second visit to Linwood and we were very impressed on both occasions. It was very clean and spacious with a quiet location, but with plenty of places to eat and drink nearby
Amelia
We were a group of four adults, two children and two babies, and Linwood was more than big enough for all of us, The snug/games room was an added bonus and meant we never felt on top of one another even though the main space is open plan. The housekeeper kindly provided us with two cots and two highchairs, which was incredibly helpful for us. The location of the property was great, with views towards Bideford, and it was very well equipped with pretty much everything we needed.
Howard
Linwood is excellently located with easy access to North Devonâ??s beaches. The house is a very sociable environment.
Bill
Excellent. Consider using again.
Barbara
This is our 4th visit and the Grandchildren now 10 and 13 want to come again next year.
Laura
Beautiful cottage which was extremely well equipped. We couldn't have asked for more. The location was perfect - we had 4 pubs and a cafe within walking distance, as well as the beach and the ferry to Appledore. Having off-street parking was another big bonus. And the beds.....they were sooooo comfortable!! We had such a fab week and we'll definitely be back.
Margaret
We have been here three times it's a lovely place
Heidi
Great location in the heart of Instow right next to the beach. Having private parking is a real plus, but the gate is narrow so wider cars will need care. Really well equipped kitchen. The kids loved the games room. Bedrooms are spacious, beds are comfortable. One main bathroom, plus an en suite and a separate toilet meant that there was never a queue for the loo!
Susan
Great location overlooking estuary with off road parking and Tarka trail access. Regular bus service to Barnstaple and Bideford a few metreâ??s away. Good pubs serving food and farm shop on doorstep. Warm and welcoming property. Well equipped, clean and comfortable. Would recommend.
Howard
Linwood is ideally located, well equipped and recently â??refreshedâ?.
Helen
A very well equipped cottage everything has been thought of ,the veranda was like an additional room ,and great for coffee in the morning watching the boats on the estuary and the changing tides. The house was tastefully furnished and very clean .we would certainly consider booking it again
Rob
Fantastic house which was spotless throughout. We would highly recommend to others.
Robert
Great property in prime location, having parking is a luxury in this location, all local amenities Great and well worth a visit. Would definitely recommend and return.
Stephanie
Linwood is a stunning house in an amazing location, the house was very clean and had everything you could need, very comfy beds, great water pressure in the showers. Such a bonus to have secure parking too. The games/tv room was very welcome. Would definitely recommend to friends and we hope to return there some time.
Dawn
Large house with everything needed for a lovely week away. Parking for couple of large 4WDs. Beautiful views. Great location within walking distance of beach, pubs and restaurants. Also close to ferry for Appledore in the summer months.
