About Berry Lawn Linhay

Berry Lawn Linhay bothy perches on top of some of England’s highest cliffs, with amazing views to the north over the Bristol Channel, and magnificent views of the Watersmeet Valley and Exmoor on other sides.

The former farm building offers a simple, basic walkers’ overnight shelter. There is a sink unit with cold water tap (not drinking water) and two double sleeping platforms. There are no windows to the bothy; however, the front door is glazed. There is a small open courtyard to the rear of the bothy housing the composting toilet cubicle.

It is the perfect place to get away from it all, with minimal noise and light pollution and animals grazing nearby. Berry Lawn Linhay Bothy is minutes away from the South West Coast Path, about 500m from the nearest pub and approximately 2 miles from the nearest town of Lynmouth.

More information

Acorn Rating: Please note, that while bothies and bunkhouses show a 1 Acorn rating on this site, facilities are more limited. A bothy offers a ‘camping with walls’ experience, usually with no electricity or running water. Bunkhouses provide simple, accommodation for groups – mostly dormitories with bunk-beds – showers, electricity and heating.

Access: The accessibility guide is for guidance only. For up-to-date information, please call the team on 0344 800 2070.

Heating: No heating provided.

Bedding/linen: No linen provided. 

Parking: There is no parking for this bothy. The nearest public car parks are over a mile away and there is no suitable roadside parking.

Garden: There is a small open courtyard at the back of the bothy and the bothy is set in open countryside.

Electricity: There is no electricity or lighting in the bothy. 

Drinking water: There is no potable water in the bothy, although there is a cold water tap.

Hazards: This is an area of minimal light pollution and so the nights will be dark. Even a trip to the toilet will need a torch.

Dog owners should be aware that there is no enclosed garden at the bothy.

Please note: In keeping with the ethos of a bothy stay, we ask our guests to leave the bothy in a clean and tidy condition for the next guests. Thank you.
