About this property

Charming cottage near Kingsbridge, Salcombe and in the heart of the South Hams

The Linney is a little gem of a cottage with every modern convenience. From the recently refurbished galley kitchen with its microwave, dishwasher, fan oven and ceramic hob to its gleaming bathroom with a full-sized bath and powerful shower over, to its comfortable lounge/dining room complete with log-burning stove and surround sound TV, the Linney offers comfortable, centrally-heated accommodation for four people (2 double bedrooms) all on ground floor level, excellent for those who find stairs difficult. With its own dedicated parking for one car immediately behind the cottage, and plenty of off-street parking nearby, the Linney can accommodate all your transport needs. However, as it is also on a direct hourly bus service which serves Plymouth and Dartmouth, and nearby other local rural buses, there is even no need for a car!

Situated in the small village of West Charleton, less than two miles from the pretty town of Kingsbridge, with its pubs, shops, restaurants and supermarkets, the Linney is well-placed for enjoying the nearby South Hams' beaches of Torcross and Beesands, and the towns of Salcombe, with its beautiful sandy beaches, and historic Dartmouth.

Apart from its proximity to the South Devon Coast Path, and a number of National Trust properties, there is a great selection of footpath walking straight from the door with close access to the peaceful Kingsbridge/Salcombe estuary and some equally delightful inland footpaths. A paradise for bird-spotters (there is a nearby village hide available for guests to use), the area is renowned for its flora and fauna. Just a 50 yard stroll away is an excellent pub, The Charleton, serving local beers and good food.
One of our guests said:
"The Linney was a great base for the area, and the property was clean, comfortable and inside had everything you would need. All mod cons and a lovely new shower. The owner was very efficient in emailing info before and after our stay."
Another said:
"Plenty of amenities - more than i expected in the kitchen, shower and bathroom - lovely and if i could have fit it in the car would have brought the bed home with me as it was extremely comfortable. Location also great just 10 minutes one way a beautiful stretch of beach (at Torcross) and nature reserve (at Slapton) and 5 minutes the other way to Kingsbridge with its lovely harbour. Everything was very close - Dartmouth also not too far and we found lots of very pretty bays within close proximity."

Lovely stay at the Linney
We had a really nice stay at the Linney for our holiday. It's small but was immaculate when we arrived, really cozy and homely with everything you need and very comfortable beds. The information about local walks/beaches etc was brilliant and great location for exploring South Devon. Beautiful beaches and towns. Kingsbridge is really pretty and nice restaurants and shops. Overall a great stay, thank you very much.

The Linney
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Linney. Graham had left lots of information about the cottage and the area, and some very welcomed edible treats! The cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. When we did need to contact Graham during our stay, he was very helpful. The booking and checking in/out process was very straight forward. We would love to stay at the Linney again.

Cosy comfortable cottage
We stayed over the Christmas holidays and Graham (owner) was incredibly helpful and responsive with our last minute booking, especially given the time of year. The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and welcoming, with even a fire ready to light in the wood burning stove and local goodies in a hamper. All the facilities are there for a 'home from home' stay and we had a couple of cosy evenings by the fire watching the HD telly. The cottage is well situated for walks and visits to the beach, as well as bird watching and shopping in Kingsbridge. Thanks to Graham for a great stay. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning little place
We arrived very late on the evening of arrival. In wntering the cottage it was like home from home. The owner Grahsm even left us a little hamper of local produce. Very clean and it had everything you needed. The beds were teally comfortable and as a whole it was a stunning beautiful cottage. We shall be back.

About the host

Hosted by The owner

Host profile image
A former teacher and educational manager for many years in a large Devon comprehensive school, in the final years of my career I decided to make a real leap of faith and work for the Royal Navy, training young Naval officers at the historic Britannia Royal College in nearby Dartmouth.

Why they chose this property

As it was too far to commute daily from my home town in Tavistock, Devon I purchased the Linney and my daily commute was the road from Charleton via Torcross to Dartmouth. Do please follow my route if you stay at The Linney, as the views are awesome... even better on the double decker bus which passes hourly through the village of Charleton on most days!

What makes this property unique

A cosy, compact place to stay, which will enable you to enjoy some authentic Devon village life, some excellent neighbours, and above all the rich delights of all the South Hams has to offer.....
