Fabulous property

We all had a great stay. Kitchen facilities were amazing. Alan (host father) came to have a chat a couple of times and he is extremely laid back and welcoming. Property is very remote, but well worth it. Dining room table is something really special too. Everything has been thought of in this property. Would highly recommend a stay.

Brilliant trip with friends

We have just returned from a fantastic week's stay at the Linhay. The property is absolutely stunning, great for large groups with a beautiful kitchen and wonderful entertaining space. Every bedroom having it's own bathroom was a real plus and the BBQ facilities were brilliant. Shout out to Alan for being on hand and fielding all our queries!

Beautiful rural extensive holiday let

My family of 14 stayed at The Linhay for one week. The barn has been converted into luxurious accommodation with spacious en suite bedrooms, large kitchen/diner with all mod cons and Scandinavian-type lounge. Property surrounded by fields with country lanes. Would definitely recommend.

Rural Devon Retreat

Very spacious modern 8 bedroom all with ensuite well equipped holiday retreat. Great for families of all ages as long as transport not a problem, as it is in a rural location with very little immediate facilities. However Lynton and Lynmouth, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, and other coast line beaches, all drivable distance. Quad biking, water inflatables and local fetes and markets dependant on time of year. The weather was very favourable to us which made it a perfect venue for us. The hosts were very amenable and helpful. Definitely a place to consider if you are looking for an out of the beaten track for a large group.

Beautiful property

We are a group of family and friends with 2 dogs who stayed at the Linhay in August 2021 We had a fantastic time and found the property accommodated us really well being a large group. It was quiet and peaceful which was a lovely change from city life. We were well supported by Alan during our stay which created a very friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed travelling to all the near by Devon beaches. The property was very clean and comfortable and equipped us with everything we needed. Would highly recommend to others Thank you

Superb accommodation

A very special barn conversion. We really enjoyed the building which was equipped to a very high standard, with a design that suited our large group. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The location was beautiful and great for seeing sites along the coast and on the moor.

Summer Holiday 2021

Beautiful house and location, spotlessly clean, and plenty of space for our party of 14. Alan and Lyn were perfect hosts, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Great kitchen with everything you could need to cater for a large group like ours. Fantastic sociable tables both outside and inside. We loved the perfect balance of feeling like we were in the middle of nowhere but could quickly and easily reach local towns and villages in just a few minutes. We especially loved the local town of South Molton and the regular twice weekly market which was great for all kinds of fresh meat and veg. The house was in easy reach of all the major resorts and attractions in North Devon and especially the Exmoor National Park. Would love to visit again some time soon! Michelle, Phil and the rest of the crowd.
