The Linhay Reviews

This property is lovely and tranquil. The Hot tub is a big plus. A shame that not all the jets in the hot tub worked. Previous guests have also mentioned this. The rest of property is very accommodating. It does have a Dishwasher which isn't mentioned in the description which was a plus. This should be added to the description of the property. Thank you Briony for the precise directions from Tiverton to Linhay they were really helpful. But 13 minutes from Fishermans cot to Linhay down single track track twisty roads was NOT something I enjoyed, encountering several near misses. For this reason I wouldn't return. It was lovely to meet you Briony, and the welcoming scones were a lovely touch. We did have a lovely time exploring Devon and all it has to offer.

Graham

Remote location but excellent accommodation with great facilities. Loved the hot tub which we used a lot. The rural location was peaceful. The kitchen was well equipped and the TV provided a range of viewing options. WiFi was very helpful as phone signals were not great as you would expect in such a location.The nearest village Cadeleigh is about 10min drive away and Tiverton is about 25 mins drive away. We used it a a base to travel widely through South East Devon as well as North to Minehead. The owner was very helpful and responded promptly to any questions we had.

Carole

Briony was very welcoming and helpful

Patricia

We stayed at the Linhay for a week as a base whilst we explored Devon and we absolutely loved it. It's so peaceful, clean and modern we honestly couldn't find fault. When we arrived Briony, the owner, had prepared a Devon tea hamper for us with scones, clotted cream and jam which was delicious. The location made it easy for us to visit Dartmouth, Brixham, Exeter, Sidmouth, Clovelly and Barnstaple. The Great Western Canal path is just a couple of miles away and such a lovely walk. The hot tube at the end of the day is bliss listening to the birds. Perfect!!

Sharon

Property was lovely and we had a warm welcome from the owner. Property was clean and tidy, guidance from owner informative. Further from the village than first thought, you do need a car for this property unfortunately my husband was taken ill and due to the location and the fact our son dropped us off and needed the car for the week it was unfortunate as my husbands condition usually ends up in a hospital stay so we felt the right decision was to go home. Next time we will make sure we are mobile.

We had a lovely stay at The Linhay. The property has been well looked after. It has everything you need for your stay. The hot tub is a perfect addition. The owners are very friendly. We received a lovely cream tea when we arrived.

Robert

When we arrived, our first view was of two large derelict barns, and this was our view from bedroom two. The beds were terribly unclean, all eight pillows were heavy soiled, the bed quilt was also soiled as was the mattress protector, the mattress also was heavily stained Briony did respond to our text message, replacing 4 pillows with new, this was late afternoon, by then we had washed and dried, the bed quilt, mattress protector and the two pillows The bed framework had split away from the bed leg and gave way Wednesday night, we moved into the two single beds for the remainder of the night we decided to leave the property Thursday, as the disruption of a bed changeover would be two much for us. We did text Briony regarding the bed collapsing and she did respond in the afternoon, by that time, we was on our way home.. Your description of the property doesnt match what we saw, the photograph of some of the views did not exist. We would appreciate a refund of three days, because of losing a day washing, and two days not sleeping there. Ps. Your company did not inform us of the 300 yards approach to the property. The poorly maintained road, singletrack, not good! This is the first time we feel let down by yourselves, hence the low, scoring of 5. It is this particular property, we could not recommend.

Absolutely stunning place, perfect place to relax and unwind! The property was in a beautiful location no sounds apart from the beautiful countryside and birds singing! The hot tub was just the perfect touch for relaxation! We will be back next year. 5 host and property Thank you

Alexandra

We had a lovely stay at The Linlay. Property was well equipped and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub and the remote location was perfect for us. We appreciated the directions emailed to us by the owner and the welcome pack on arrival the scones were delicious!

Christine

Absolutely first class accommodation. Very peaceful if you want a relaxing holiday away from it all. could have done with a couple of loungers

Our stay at the Linhay was exactly what we needed and exactly as described in the information. The host Briony was very communicative before and throughout our stay and very attentive to our requirements. The accomodation was of a very high standard, equipped with everything we needed and was exceptionally clean. What a setting, if you want peace and tranquillity then the Linhay is perfect. Thank you Briony for a.wonderful stay 1010 !!!

Louise

We had an amazing week away staying at The Linhay. Everything was so clean and tidy when we got there. Briony was lovely and and assured us if any problems just to message her. There was no problems at all the full week. Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be looking at staying here again in the future.

Beautifully appointed property, miles from anywhere! Peace and calm were the order of the day. Lovely hot tub with open countryside views what more can you ask for?

Charlotte

Great stay for us as a couple. We are very hopeful to return one day.

Great stay with a great host !

Had a lovely break away. Thanks Briony

Christina

Had a really lovely stay at The Linhay, everything was perfect. Briony was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again

The lodge was absolutely perfect, clean and very well equipped. Briony the owner was lovely and very helpful. The only draw back for us was the location. Not only is there the listed single track road to acces the farm but there is also miles of winding narrow county roads with very few passing spots to get to Tiverton. Yet saying that if your happy to not go out much then its perfect.

The linhay was a wonderful place to stay. Very modern and clean and generally a lovely environment. The host was great as she was available but not intrusive. It is very remote which is lovely for the peace and quiet and the clear starry nights. Unless youre going out for a walk then you do have to get in the car to go anywhere but we didnt mind this. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome property. Peace and quiet just what we needed. Briony was a great host. Thanks for the lovely welcome basket. Rural position views spectacular. The hot up was well used. Never been to Devon before but I would love to return to this holiday home. Big thank you

Great clean property with all the facilities needed. Hot tub in a beautiful location looking at the fields, superb experience . We loved everything about the property. Great hosts.

Perfect for a country retreat!

The Linhay exceeded everything and is so peaceful and relaxing

Elliot

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Its clean, comfortable and in a brilliant quiet private location. Its within sensible driving distance from the whole of Devon and all the places you would like to visit. What a nice way to spend the evening in the hot tub after a day out too. We will certainly be staying again when we revisit the area.

Andrew

A wonderful property finished to an immaculate high standard, hidden away in central Devon. A great base for days out in Exmoor and Dartmoor and back to the property to relax in the hot tub in the evening. The owner is a wonderful host, and went out of her way to ensure everything was great. Book with confidence, the listing and pictures above are exactly how it was.
