Overview
Property code: OLDLI

With the spectacular Exmoor National Park and the beautiful Brendon Hills just on the doorstep, this charming cottage is in an ideal location for keen walkers, cyclists and nature-lovers. You will also be perfectly placed for exploring the stunning Quantock Hills and the fabulous West Somerset and North Devon coastline. There are plenty of attractions to keep the whole family entertained, including Wimbleball Lake with its water sports, Dunster Castle, Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole. Step back in time and board a steam train on the West Somerset Railway that takes you through the beautiful Somerset Countryside. You could head to the coast and enjoy seaside resorts including Minehead, Watchet and Brean Sands with their year-round dog-friendly sandy beaches. This really is the perfect spot to explore the very best of both Somerset and North Devon.

On entering this charming and attractive single-storey barn conversion, which is approached via six external stone steps, you will find yourself in the welcoming and comforting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With comfy seating, Smart TV, DVD, and a traditional wood burner, the inviting and attractive lounge is an ideal space to unwind in at the end of a wonderful day. You will also find a delightful dining area, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need including an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. A washing machine and clothes airer can be found in a utility room shared with the other properties on-site. Exploring this cosy ground-floor property further you will find a snug and comfy king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower and WC.

Stepping outside, you can relax on the enclosed patio with seating, facing west for the most glorious sunsets. A selection of outdoor games and a BBQ are available on request. You are also invited to share and explore the 6 acres of surrounding land which are sometimes home to cows and sheep too. We are very dog-friendly and have a dedicated dog wash area for those muddy/beach walks and if the 3.5 acre paddock is free of sheep, then this is the perfect spot to let your dog get some exercise, right outside the property.

We spent a very relaxing Christmas in your lovely cosy cottage. It had everything we needed for our stay and the enclosed garden was an absolute bonus for our 2 dogs. The hamper was amazing and it was a lovely surprise, thank you. We would love to visit again and we will definitely recommend this cottage to friends.

The location is in amazingly beautiful countryside and not too far to the coast. Our hosts, Spencer and Gemma are gracious, charming and helpful. Our cottages Orchard and Lynhay were both very comfortable and well equipped.

We stayed in Linhay for a week at beginning of July and it was amazing. So clean comfortable. The grounds were well looked after and it was lovely to walk round the lake and watch the ducklings. I hope they are ok as I counted 8 one morning and only 5 a couple of days later. Saw Mr or Mrs Foxy hanging around one morning I would definitely recommendRead more staying here. Hide

Just had a Christmas break and loved every minute. The weather was absolutely horrendous but the cottage was lovely cosy and warm. The dogs also loved the lake to run around. Amazingly comfortable bed and very well appointed bathroom. Would definately recommend this place to anyone that loves peace and quiet and a fab local pub.

Linhay cottage was absolutely perfect for us and our dog. The gated garden is quite small, but plenty of green space straight through the gate, plus the beautiful pond to walk around. Inside was clean and very cosy and had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was comfortable, the shower head had a good flow to it, with plenty of hot water.

A pleasant location with good access to the coast and Exmoor. Linhay is cosy with a small kitchen, dining and living area. The bedroom by comparison is spacious. Lots of steps which didnt bother us but could cause problems for some. Clean and fairly well equipped but beware the cutlery knives (a triumph of design over practicality). In spite of theRead more pleasant setting there are no nice views from Linhay. Hide

Very comfortable cottage in a quiet location. The only small issue that I had is that I am 6' 2" tall and the overhead shower head seems to be 6' 2" above the shower tray. Other than that I enjoyed my week's stay at the cottage.

Linhay is a perfect cottage for exploring Exmoor. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog and he enjoyed our holiday as much as we did. We will definitely book this cottage again or probably South Barn next door and come again with friends or family.
