We had a lovely stay at the Linhay, as we have just come back as of yesterday 29th August 2026! The host was great with communication, and was very clear with instructions to get to the property! I would highly recommend to others as the beds and rooms were very comfortable, even one of my stepdaughters didn’t want to leave her comfortable bed in the mornings! We had a great time away. Ideal for a family friendly break away! Very clean property and worth the money also! Thank you for letting us stay!

The property is in a wonderfully quiet location, a short walk to a village pub which we'd highly recommend - the food and service was fantastic. The cottage itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Easter 2024 at The Linhay

Most beautiful property, situated on the outskirts of a lovely village with a great pub. The property was like a home from home with everything catered for and some extra personal touches provided by the host, Sarah, for our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break in a lovely property in beautiful countryside.

A week under thatch

Very pleasant converted cow barn. Dog proof patio area but all hard surface no grass. Very friendly owners always willing to assist us old folks. Steep stairs though. Beautiful local countryside to explore.

A wonderful Objekt

We really enjoyed our stay in Linhay. The property was clean and very well equipped. The contact with the landlords, who live on the same property, was very nice and we felt very welcome. Linhay is a nice accommodation as a base for various excursions. The pub in the nearby village is within easy reach and offers regional specialities. Kind regards and Perhaps we see us next year.

Lovely home away from home ..m

My husband and I needed somewhere to stay for around a month between selling our home and moving in to our next home. The Linhay was perfect. Lovely and quiet, comfortable, warm, well equipped and great wifi. Sarah and her family are relaxed, warm and welcoming. Our dogs loved the surrounding countryside. We would not have any hesitation staying there again nor recommending it to others. A lovely little home from home. Cath

Wonderful rural retreat

Located on the edge of a tiny rural Devon village, this property was the perfect getaway for us and our dog. The village pub is great (although you have to be up for the walk up the steep road to get there), and the property hosts were there if you needed them, totally non-invasive if you didn’t. They left very useful recommendations, which we followed and were not disappointed. The patio area is a lovely sun trap well into the evening. A bit more garden for our bigger dog would’ve been great, but there were a couple of public footpaths at the top and bottom of the hill, a few mins from the door. All in all a very enjoyable stay in a clean, well appointed and tastefully renovated property.

Amazing property

Absolutely loved our stay in Kings Nymptom. The property was stunning, very clean and very well equipped. Sarah had thought of everything you might need during your stay which even meant I was able to make my daughter's birthday cake, something I couldn't do in Center Parcs without bringing loads of equipment. There was tea, coffee and sugar, some milk. Salt and pepper and even olive oil. It was topped off with a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. Sadly we didn't have great weather, as is common in the summer holidays! But there were games to play and we could access our own Netflix through the TV. The outside area was lovely and was perfect for when we had a bit of sun show it's face. It's a lovely area with plenty to do within a short drive. Would definitely recommend !

Wij hebben een paar heerlijke dagen gehad in King’s Nympton. Wel jammer was dat juist deze dagen de pub gesloten was vanwege een bruiloft. Daar konden de eigenaren natuurlijk ook niets aan doen. Bij aankomst zijn we heel hartelijk ontvangen en lag zelfs een flesje wijn en melk in de koelkast. We kregen ook goede tips voor activiteiten. De verbouwde schuur is echt heel mooi en ruim. Als je even helemaal tot rust wil komen dan is dit een prima locatie.

Héérlijk plekje

Het is een schattig huisje, wel afgelegen maar heerlijk rustig. Pubs in de buurt om te eten en kwartiertje naar grotere supermarkt. Leuke plekken in te bezoeken in de buurt en prachtige wandel paden. Wij hadden geluk met het weer een ook het buiten bij het huisje is aangenaam en groot, fijn om te zitten. Eigenaren wonen ernaast maar je zit geheel vrij, overigens erg aardige eigenaren :)
