The Wagon Linney

great cottage one of the best we have stayed in.

there was 10 of us and there was everthing we needed . the kitchen is well stocked with knifes plates pans ect the cottage was warm and cosy even though the weather outside was awful the pop up tea room was great as was the embroidery lessons as well the group had a great time. look foward to coming back

Had a wonderful Xmas break/family reunion.

The house was cosy and warm and had all the facilities we needed for 10 people. Got lucky with the weather too. Cold and windy but bright sunshine. A Christmas to remember. Think we may have inadvertently wandered off with your salt and pepper. Apologies for that.

It was great accommodation that suited all our needs.

It was well equipped. The only downside was the oil boiler as it was smelly in the kitchen. It was easy to get to Bude and we found a lovely little beach with free National Trust car park and a coffee hut.

We had a lovely stay.

The cottage is in a great location and just what we were looking for for a three generation family holiday. When we had a problem with the hot water Jonathan was there within 5 minutes to fix it. A great week, thank you.

Everything was wonderful and as we expected.

Good to have so many bathrooms and the kitchen was very well equipped although we could have done with a larger fridge for 9 people. Everything nice and relaxed about the whole place. We used the information pack and found plenty to do. Lovely to have a playground and large garden to meet the other families. Helpful and welcoming owners.

The owners are friendly and kind.

The house is in a good location and lots to do nearby. Plenty of lovely beaches to explore. The cottage is not detached as it looks in the photo. It's actually part of a larger L shape of 7 cottages all terraced. All the outside areas are shared with those cottages. The inside of the property is quite tired. The hot water was really noisy when it came on (loud clanging and banging sounds) and the boiler smelt strongly of burning oil meaning we had to have kitchen window open all the time. The cottage was a little cramped for 10 people.

Lovely holiday great base to explore !

Fab friendly owners very welcoming

The Wagon Linney was an excellent property for our annual familoy get together.

This time there were 9 of us (its usually 11!!). The kitchen was very well equiped with loads of pots, pans, baking trays, crockery and glass ware. The property was spotlessy clean. We had an issue with a light in the bathroom which was promptly fixed by Jonathan. We also enjoyed the company of Rebel the very verbal and cheeky cat daily!! Definitely would highly recommend this property

We booked the cottage so that the all 11 of us in the extended family could spend a long weekend together.

It was my 70th birthday - so a good excuse for a party. The dining area in the kitchen was ideal and we all got seated at the table for brunch. The oil fired boiler gives off a distinctive aroma which reminded us of my Mums old house in Bovey. The bedrooms were good and comfortable. It was particularly useful having one downstairs bedroom as my wife and I have some mobility problems now. My dog and one of my son’s dog had a great weekend together. My son’s families enjoyed being able to go surfing as well. All in all a lovely weekend.

The cottage was lovely .

The owner was very helpful with sorting our little problems that occurred. The gardens and play area was well maintained as a three generation family it suited us perfectly with room for everyone. Thank you very much.

Our family of four couples, two young children and one baby had an excellent holiday at The Wagon Linney.

The kitchen was the best equipped for a large party that we have encountered with plenty of large pans. The sitting area was comfortable and spacious. Some of us found the beds more comfortable than others, but that is mainly personal choice. The only reason for not awarding full marks all round is that, as previous reviewers have noted, the water pressure in the upper bath and shower rooms was variable and sometimes absent.

Pleasant cottage with all the amenities and comfort, well equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay.

It would have been nice to have a secure area for the dog at the cottage, however this did not detract from a fantastic holiday. The owner was very helpful and accommodating when needed, and it was great to see the cows from the kitchen window

I had the loveliest weekend with all my closest friends and the house made it for us.

The space was clean and welcoming and the hosts were really helpful. The house was warm and comforting and we had everything we could possibly need.

Excellent spacious accommodation.

Plenty of room for 8 of us over 3 generations. Jonathan and Nicola were very welcoming and our one minor issue, concerning lack of hot water, was quickly resolved. Duckpool beach is within walking distance and also numerous other attractions are within an easy drive.

Beautiful accommodation, there were 10 of us- we all had plenty of room.

Everything we needed to cook meals, do some washing etc was in the property! We cooked a roast for 10 and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, towels were bath towels, which was lovely! We had two small children with us- although the house is beautiful, it is not a ‘show house’ so we felt comfortable for the children to use the house as ‘their own’ and not worry they are going to break little trinkets (which you find in some cottages). They have a children’s play park- swings, sandpit and wooden tractor- my 9 and 4 year old loved it! The grown ups loved the swings too! Co-Op is about a 10 min drive in Kilkhampton. Morrisons, Lidl and Sainsbury are about a 15 min drive in Bude. Perfect for a base or some quiet relaxing. Water pressure could be a bit low- especially in the bathroom upstairs- the en-suites and shower downstairs were definitely better! But we worked out a schedule, to ensure only one person was having a shower at once! Dishwasher was a godsend! And washing machine- was a washer dryer so was great too!

Beautiful property with everything we needed in the most perfect surroundings Thank you for having us .

We will be back, a week wasn’t long enough.

Water supply was very poor, sometimes we could not use showers upstairs.

We had three families stay under one roof and we still had room.

The remote accommodation is just beautiful. A nice walk to the pebbled beach (all up hill on way back) everyone is so friendly and we had a lovely week stay. Would highly recommend.

Wagon Linney was ideal for our family, we were short of nothing, very clean, beautiful and safe surroundings for our grandchildren x

Had a lovely time

We enjoyed our stay in the Feb half term ( We try and take the whole family - children and grandchildren away for a break each year).

As would be during this time of year the days were shorter than you would expect in the summer and the temp were low. Waggon Linney catered for this as it was warm and cosy. We had 3 young children with us and there was room enough to allow them freedom of the house with out being on top of one another. Having said that, the cottage had accommodation for 12 and there were only 8 of us ( originally booked for a party of 10). It was quiet with plenty of open country around us. Lovely Bude was 20 mins away. Easy access to beautiful remote beaches - be mindful of the single track roads. The owners lived on the farm and were helpful and easily accessible. Hot water was available 24 hours via a storage tank (I assumed). We were mindful when running a bath that it would use all the hot water and would have to wait for the water to heat up again. It was a workable once we were aware of it. It was certainly good value for money and would go again for an Autumn/Spring break.

Perfect location and very easy to find from the main road.

Ideal area for dog walking as the beach is easily accessible on foot via quiet country lanes. Very clean house with a fully equipped kitchen! Would stay there again!

I would love a folder about the cottage.

where things are etc. there was one on the wall. would like one with map of area and farm and way to the farms woods. and local walks etc. fantastic stay. very dog friendly.

.

Upgrade bathrooms . Upgrade water supplies

Wagon Linney was perfect for our needs.

We had four different groups of the family staying and the accommodation was ideal for us, with plenty of space and being well equipped. Having the large garden was an added bonus.

Very pleasant stay.

Property provide all facilities for our comfort and enjoyment. Very friendly hosts. Couldn't fault in any way.

Very good welcome.

All in place when we arrived. Immaculately clean. Very deep rural.

We had such a lovely time .

We where greeted when we arrived . The house was clean and tidy. The kids enjoyed the swings and sandpit very much. Will definitely be coming back .

We enjoyed our stay as a large family, it was lovely to all come together.

The area was really calm and quiet which was lovely. The cottage accommodated our large group well. We were unsure about the garden as on the listing it never advised that it was separate from the cottage and as it was sectioned off but open through to other garden areas we were unsure if we were allowed on it all and having 2 dogs with us we worried they'd go onto the other cottages garden areas. I think stating that it's a shared garden would be helpful especially as we had 2 young children and 2 dogs with us. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you could possibly need and more, which was really great. There was a funny smell in the kitchen which made us worry a bit but soon realised it was the boiler. The heating was off as it was either really hot or freezing cold. The water was the same in the ground floor shower either scalding hot or turned it a tiny bit to cool and it was freezing. The taps had little pressure so a bath was out as the water was cold before it got a few inches deep. We were going to bring these things up with the owners when they came by but unfortunately never got to meet them as they never came to introduce themselves or ask how we were getting on. An elderly gentleman had a lovely chat with me and advised he lived at the farm and asked if we'd met the owners but I advised we hadn't so he assumed we'd only arrived that day, we'd actually arrived the day before, so I assume this isn't the norm.

We had a lovely warm welcome.

The cottage was well equipped and in a beautiful location. We are a large family and the children really enjoyed the huge outdoor space to run around in. It was a great base from which to explore the local area.

Good broadband reception, parking and well equipped kitchen, a bit of a squeeze at the dining table.

Could do with an outside light.

We had a lovely holiday.

Great location and nice spacious garden for the children.Wagon Linney was well equipped clean and comfortable. Very friendly family who made us very welcome and were always available. Beach nice when low tide. Rocks at high tide. Easy walk to the beach down hill. Steep walk back. Easy drive in the car along single track.

Large garden ideal for families although unfortunatelyI lost a gold signet ring in the facilities.

The house was well equipped, especially the kitchen.

The rooms were a very good size and the place was lovely and warm. Parking for four cars was also good. The grounds were very good - our dogs loved the space to run and play ball. There were however a few negatives:- We were woken up in the middle of the night by the most horrendous noise which seemed to be caused by air in the water pipes. This happened again but fortunately in the day time when it didn't disturb anybody. Another, more minor issue was one of the toilets wouldn't flush. One of our party said their mattress was uncomfortable with what felt like a broken spring. I'm sure these issues are easily rectifiable. This might sound like a lot of criticism but it isn't meant to be as we really did enjoy our stay at the Wagon Linney!

The best holiday ever, we have a wonderful weekend, the place is a part of heaven if you enjoy nature, the owners of the place super kind, I recommend the place

Very nice place!

Very beautiful and peaceful. The owners are very friendly. We had issue with water but owners were very responsive and came straight away. We loved the house and loved the atmosphere. The ocean is 5 min drive. Really enjoyed the stay.

We have had a great stay at the Wagon Linney with a great walk down to the beach.

The cottage itself was pleasant enough but internet speed was very poor and so was the water pressure. Facilities wise, very good but no Yorkshire Pudding tray and only 3 wine glasses so we had to buy our own. Owners were very helpful and very friendly so all in all a lovely holiday.

We are not people to ever leave a review, however we don’t want other families to book this cottage without knowing what the facilities are really like as we feel the description and photos are misleading.

We knew the cottage was on farm land, however we were of the understanding that the Wagon Linney was a detached cottage on farm land and the farm would be somewhere within the 10 acres of land. However, The wagon Linney is a terraced property along with several other holiday cottages that are within a converted farm building and the cows are kept extremely close therefore the smell is at times very strong and there were constantly many flies in the property which wasn’t very pleasant especially in the kitchen. The grounds are also divided up into garden areas for each property, so you do not have access to walk round the lands. The garden for wagon Linney is across a track and up some steps so you can’t be in your property and looking out at the children in the garden as it is completely separate. As you would expect in Cornwall that the wifi would not be great however we had days where we couldn’t get any WiFi at all until we drove out to a town. Unfortunately we also felt the actual property has been neglected and is in desperate need of some new furniture and flooring / decorating. All of the beds were extremely uncomfortable with springs poking out and the sofas must be very old with an unpleasant smell. The carpets look very old and worn too and you can see on the walls where someone has painted over mould to cover it up. There was also a constant damp smell and there is a washing machine however no tumble dryer therefore we did two washes which took days to dry and smelt very damp therefore had to wash everything again when we got home. Finally, the power in the showers was very weak which was also a shame. We felt we had to leave a review as we didn’t want other people to book and be as disappointed as we were.
