The Linhay

A perfect Christmas getaway for our families providing relaxation, space and everything you could want in a lovely environment. The house is fully equipped we cooked Christmas dinner for 8 and were not short of anything fridges, freezers, oven and all the crockery and utensils. Fantastic. Lovely big rooms throughout the property as well as a great games room with a pool table. Outside, the hot tub and sauna provides another space to chill out during the day or under the stars. Walk from the house alongside the steam railway line to the seaside town of Watchett. Overall we were kept updated by the owners and nothing was a problem. Thank you.

We went for an extended weekend mid December, 3 couples and a teenager. Lovely cottage, facilities were excellent. Each bedroom having an ensuite was a real bonus. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic house Has everything you need in the house Great pool table, hot ... Fantastic house Has everything you need in the house Great pool table, hot tub and nice looking sauna Very clean and tidy large comfortable beds Plenty of places of interest and pubs near by Would recommend and go back there again Many thanks

We had a fabulous time, the children loved the table tennis, games room and outdoor space while the adults preferred the hot tub and sauna. The house was clean, well equipped and a perfect setup for a couple of family's as it has 2 staircases providing separate wings. Plenty of space both inside and out so the whole family could sit and eat or just chill out together. No one was ready to leave and we all could have welcomed another week at the property. The only contructive criticism from our party was that the blinds in the master bedroom could perhaps be replaced as they have seen better days and let a lot of light in but on saying that on darker mornings it may not be a problem. Great communication from the owners and a speedy return of the house bond. Thank you very much for a lovely holiday.

Had a lovely stay the Linhay which was perfect for our family. The bedrooms were super comfortable, spacious and having an ensuite in each room was great. The house is lovely, well equipped which was great as we spent all our time there and we made full use of the kitchen and dining area. The owner was just a message away & was very helpful. We enjoyed the hot tub, ping pong, sauna, pool table & garden area, in fact we didnt want to leave! The only downside I would say is the noise from the traffic which can be heard in the front 2 bedrooms. It was very warm whilst we were there so had the skylights open, with these shut you probably wouldnt hear the noise.

We were a party of 6 adults with two dogs. The property is a fabulous size and is convenient for Washford, Watchet and Minehead. The steam railway stop is close by and was very popular with our group. The listing is accurate and they do advise of road noise the road is very busy and the noise is heard most in two of the bedrooms plus the kitchen. Positives.. Size of rooms all are excellent even the twin has its own shower. Plenty of wardrobe space. Outdoor space excellent and enclosed so safe for children and pets. The field area for the dogs was really appreciated. Outdoor seating. plentiful and comfortable. Outdoor facilities hot tub, chess, table tennis , sauna hot tub used regularly, table tennis very good too although we did have to buy ping pong balls to play. Perhaps leave a few in the house for the inevitable loss of some in play? Parkingplenty of room for 3 cars and even though the larger property on the same site was occupied there was no issue getting in or out. Indoor facilities games room was a bonus and was used by the group. Large tv and games provided for evenings.Plenty of seating in the living room so all could sit together and the double doors out to the garden were good in the hot weather. Kitchen was big enough to cook for a big group. Communication easy to speak with Sarah and she advised us by phone that the property was ready to occupy ahead of the stated time.. we really appreciated this.. thank you. Housekeeping bond returned quickly. Just a few niggles in the negatives Quality of decor felt a little tired and could benefit from a repaint. Shower in double bedroom needs attention coming away from wall? Barbecue appreciated the starter fuel but no tools to use it.. very difficult using ordinary kitchen tools. Blinds all stated that the blinds should really be blackout on the velux windows as although we loved the beautiful sunshine we wanted a lie in on holiday. Curtains required for the large , garden facing bedroom please. Washing line and pegs couldnt find any. There is an excellent washing machine and a dryer so not a real issue but would have appreciated being able to put washing outside to dry. Internet provided but the strength is not adequate for the size of the property.. perhaps a few boosters ? We all loved our time in this property and the positives far outweigh the niggles. Beautiful part of the country too.

A really lovely property well designed, attractive and comfortable. Well equipped but a pair of kitchen scissors would have been useful and some table or floor lamps in the sitting room. The adjacent field was a big bonus for the dogs, especially as it had been mown so we could play ball with them there. The A39 was the only downside to staying there. The road was very busy and as the Linhay was close to a bend it was dodgy to walk along the main road. We were disappointed to find that the pub and shop within 5 minutes walk had both closed down. Had a great stay though and would recommend the property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Linhays. The house and facilities lived up to expectation, and Sarah the owner is lovely. We hope to come back again.

Beautiful comfortable house. It was perfect in every way. The scenery is beautiful, the beds were SO comfortable, and to have the luxury of a sauna and hot tub in the garden, we didn't want to leave. The hosts were incredibly friendly, we will definitely be going back

I hired this property for a long weekend for a group of 9 adults and it was gorgeous. The whole property is beautifully presented, it was spotless and the bed was so comfy! The owner was on hand for any queries I had prior to the stay and was very helpful. The hot tub was definitely a group favourite! There was also a lovely welcome hamper which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this property and if we ever have another trip to the area it will be top of the list again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The Linhay was a perfect choice for our family gathering with plenty of space and good facilities. The owner was communicative and answered our questions quickly. The house was warm and clean on arrival and there was a welcome hamper of local goods. We enjoyed the hot tub checked daily and the sauna which heated up for 1 within the hour after that it just ticks along as you top up. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was key for us and the beds were very comfortable and the linen good quality. The sitting room was spacious enough for all to sit and even dance and the log burner was lit and enjoyed. The extra fridge in the utility room was handy. The White Horse pub at the other end of Washford less than 5 minutes by car had a welcoming team, open fire, large riverside beer garden and served good home cooked food. We would also recommend Exmoor Distillery for a tour and tasting need to book for both. All in all, this was a great choice for our family holiday and we would stay again. Thank you!

Lovely cottage and ideal size for our group Thanks again to to Sarah and Hannah

What a truly wonderful stay we had over the New Year period. We were a party of 7 adults and 2 dogs and this cottage was perfect for us. Really secure garden so didn't have to worry about the dogs if they were outside, the garden also had a gate that led directly into the field which was perfect for the dogs to run around in. Kitchen very well stocked with cutlery, glasses, crockery etc. The hot tub and sauna were both used and were thoroughly enjoyed. Beds were really comfortable. Just a couple of things to note, not that these will stop us from looking to return There are two internal steps in the property leading from the kitchen to the dining room and lounge, not sure if this was listed in the property description. The floor boards upstairs on one side of the property are very noisy. Lastly, not sure if I would recommend to people who are wanting plenty of walks from the property. There is a local pub about a 10 minute walk but there are no paths along the busy main road so we personally didn't feel comfortable walking the dogs down here, neither would we if we travelled with children. But with that being said Exmoor and Quantok Hills are a 20 minute drive away so you're not far from some walks. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our break and would very much love to return one day.

When we have stayed at other places you normally have a book with important information in. Unfortunately we couldnt find anything and felt we had to disturb the owners a couple of times, where as normally we dont need to as all info is there. One other thing we did find the checkout time to be extremely early. Its normally about 1010.30. But I must say apart from that we had a lovely stay in your beautiful Linhay and I would highly recommend it. Thank you for a much needed break. Linda x

This is a lovely house for a family holiday with plenty to keep everyone busy with games and hot tub. The area also has plenty to offer just a pity that no visitors book to put comments about different places and eateries guess due to covid and keeping the infection away. We did have a problem with very full rubbish bins when we arrived but soon rectified after a phone call. Many thanks for the welcome pack which was enjoyed by all.

Fantastic holiday home only problem were the creaking floor boards on the upper level. They were so bad it disturbed you nights sleep very very noisy

We had a wonderful week at the Linhay. The house is so spacious and very clean. All bedrooms are a great size and beds were comfy too, we requested a cot which was stored away in the wardrobe, again this was perfect for our little one. There were 2 high chairs available along with 2 stair gates. Large kitchen with all necessary utensils in and 2 large dining tables indoor and out The Linhay is a short drive to the beach and other local towns to explore however there is more than enough to keep you busy within the property. As a family we certainly spent a lot of time playing table tennis, chess and relaxing in the hot tub! This review could go on and on, there were no negatives for us at any point throughout our stay. We would definitely return here in the future.

Main bedroom could do with blackout blinds and the floor in the main bedroom and landing very creaky . Otherwise we had a fabulous stay and it was a lovely place to stay and close to many towns and villages

The property was exceptional and in great location. It was nice to stay somewhere that is local to places to visit. The hot tub and sauna was well used by all. The house was comfortable and clean. The field out the back of the property was great for the dogs to stretch their legs in the mornings. I would highly recommend this place to anyone .Although the property is close to the road the noise wasn't an issue. If i was to stay in the area again i would certainly use Linhay.

First lots of positives. Easy parking, very spacious, superbly well equipped for a larger group. Hot tub, sauna, giant chess, pool table, lovely grass paddock, kids play equipment, BBQ and giant chess board. Plenty of outside seating. Secure, super dog safe. Copious hot water and a really nice building. welcome hamper an unexpected bonus. communications with owner very good. Full laundry facilities. Cot, stair gates, airers, mood lighting. Lots going for this location The negatives. The lounge fabric sofas were very stained and the support is gone. Some of the mattresses are in need of replacement and very lumpy. Some Duvets clumped and need regent replacement. Some general maintenance required in kitchen and handrails on stairs.

We hadagreat week here at theLinhay , itwas perfect for our week of relaxation , having the hot tub , Sauna and The field to run the dogs in was Brilliant . Hannah was fab , nothing too much trouble for her , even jumping fences to check on sheep in the field

The Linhay was fantastic. A beautiful property, perfectly located to house our family for a glorious week. The rooms were light and spacious, clean and comfortable. Outdoor spaces and amenities really enhanced our stay.

Lovely spacious property. Excellent for dining for a large family holiday, good kitchen facilities, good enclosed gardens, fab hot tub, spacious bedrooms well laid out. Floorboards on landings extremely creaky and noisy, showers took some getting used to to get consistent temperature flow. Great idea to have a games room pool table too large for the room needed smaller cues to get round the table properly. Sofas in lounge in need of new cushionssprings looking at. We were a family of 6 adults 3 children and a baby and the house was excellent for our stay. Had a great time.

Great set of facilities which was ideal for a get together for a small group of males post COVID catchup. The faculties were brilliant for cooking, sleeping, playing and relaxing in the hot tub and sauna.

Absolutely first class contact for the Linhay, Sarah was awesome. Really helpful , the cottage was outstanding, clean, well equipped. Really cozy with the Christmas trees, hot tub checked daily. Really awesome place and great location. Really looking to book again. Loved it

Perfect, loved it we had a wonderful Christmas. Its probably time to replace the sofas in the living room as the springs are pretty shot, otherwise no issues at all and a wonderful, wonderful stay. Would and have recommended to others. Thank you x

Perfect property for a family gathering. The hot tub was amazing

Positives this is an exceedingly comfortable place to rent, central to a very diverse group of places to visit the lovely villages of Dunster with castle , LyntonLynmouth, Kilve Fossil Beach, the steam railway etc. and full of things to do you might not have at home giant chess, hot tub, table tennis, pool table. It was wellequipped, had lots of parking and the owner was friendly and helpful, and the hot tun was serviced daily. Howevers the radio and tv in the games room we could not get to work. Negative the only minus was the road. The A39 is busy and there is no pavement so extreme care has to be taken leaving the property in a car, and leaving on foot, you quite literally take your life in your hands! We would certainly rent a property like this again.

The accommodation & facilities were ideal for our extended family group. There cottage had plenty of space for us & the fact that each bedroom had an ensuite bathroom was a big reason for booking in the first place. The facilities were very clean and had all the conveniences we needed regarding white goods. The road noise from the busy A39 took some getting used to & we had to be very aware when leaving the property by car. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay at The Linhay.

Perfect holiday home for a large family or two small families as there is so much space. Facilities were really great and made the stay perfect

Lovely well wiped home in a really good location.

We had a fabulous week away at the end of July 2021. The accommodation was beautifully presented and catered for all ages within our family. I would 100 recommend for extendedlarge families wanting to visit the Somerset area. It is also a great location for travelling into Devon.

Absolutely fabulous place to holiday. Everything you could want was there.really good break

Lovely clean and safe cottage with facilities to suit different age groups. The hot tub was a great favourite.

The Linhay cottage was one of the best my family group have stayed in. Very clean and tidy.All the things needed for self catering .Hot tub excellent and was regularly checked daily by owner.Table tennis and games room added to family fun as did the sauna to relax in. Would like to go again in future,maybe the bigger property when family numbers even bigger Ian

The Linhay is a great property for a large family holiday. Very spacious inside with two outdoor areas to enjoy. The pool table, table tennis and hot tub were used by everyone. I would definitely return and also try the property next door as it has a swimming pool!

House really lovely and owner very welcoming and answered any queires promptly before and after the trip.

Photos online did not do it justice, beautiful home!
