Dog friendly The Linney, Colyton, Devon - Sleeps 4

4 miles from Colyton, deep in thick, lush hedgerow lanes in the Coly Valley, is the sleepy hamlet of Northleigh, 5 to 7 miles from the lovely coastal villages of Beer, Sidmouth and Branscombe. On the edge of Northleigh, three cottages converted from traditional Devon barns with extensive views over surrounding farmland.

The Linney opens from the courtyard on to your open plan living space with seating area for watching TV, a dining area and a well equipped kitchen. On sunny days, open the glass doors to your patio for eating alfresco and the shared lawn. Head upstairs to your two comfortable bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.

Ducks on the pond (fenced), cobblestones in the courtyard, a soppy dog and dignified cat make this an utterly charming place to stay, unwind and enjoy a friendly, rural idyll. This property can be booked with The Shippen (976058) and Battens (976059) and together they sleep 14.

About the Colyton area

Beer is a small picturesque fishing village on the south Devon coast near Seaton. The shingle beach is very sheltered, backed by limestone cliffs and was once fertile smuggling territory, plus contraband was hidden in nearby caves, which are now a popular tourist attraction
