The one-bedroom cottage is ideal for couples with the added luxury of a gazebo covered hot tub with a stunning view. A place to relax in a ‘get away from it all' location, yet only 3 miles from the fishing town of Looe and its beach.

Linhay is a beautiful single storey cottage with original features including thick stone walls and exposed wooden beams. There are oak floors and doors and a couple of internal steps where there is a change in levels. It is furnished with a mix of antique and contemporary furniture, rugs, paintings and wall art.

Another lovely visit!

Our second visit to Linhay and, if anything, it was even better than the first. House was immaculate on arrival and so comfortable & spacious. We enjoyed very hot & sunny weather so made good use of the garden, the shade of the trees and the hot tub, which is always very clean & well maintained. A lovely quiet & peaceful spot.

Chill out at the linhay

We chose to return to East Trenean farm after a hectic few weeks to chill and recharge our batteries. Once again it was the perfect retreat as it was on our previous visit. The location is easy to find and access. We stayed at Linhay cottage which was spotless and very well equipped with great attention to detail. We spent two of our days not even leaving the farm as we just enjoyed the tranquility and surroundings. The hot tub was amazing and an added feel good factor. Graham and Jane are great hosts and are on hand to deal with your needs if necessary. Having said that we did not have any need to contact them as everything had been catered for. We are already looking at our next booking. If you are looking for a chilled and relaxing break you need look no further. We highly recommend a stay at East Trenean Farm. Dave & Louise Matthams

A Very Comfortable Stay

Everything we needed for a comfortable holiday. Very spacious and quiet. Lovely garden and hot tub. Perhaps a fleece blanket for the sofa or to use as summer weight bedding with a sheet would be a useful addition. Copley Arms, nearby, does excellent food with gluten free options suitable for coeliacs which was particularly helpful for us.

A little piece of heaven.

Linhay is an absolute dream: the perfect home in a perfect location. The views from the garden are stunning where you feel at one with nature. It’s blissfully peaceful and a real haven to relax, unwind and be at one with yourselves. Inside the home, the attention to detail is second to none; the cleanliness is immaculate, the quality of items is exceptional and the space and feel generates real ambience. Jane and Graham are the perfect hosts - friendly, warm, welcoming and generous. The way they have made a beautiful home for guests is astounding and a huge congratulations to them. The welcome pack is an extremely loving touch that makes it all even more special. Thank you! We are sure to return soon.

Fabulous Stay

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Linhay which is a lovely cottage for two people at East Trenean Farm which is a few miles outside Looe. Apart from being very spacious and comfortable it is the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in and the hot tub in the private garden is the icing on the cake! You will not be disappointed if you book.

Gorgeous getaway

Such a gorgeous location for a quiet getaway - perfect location for exploring everything Cornwall has to offer before relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the views across the valley. The hosts were super welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, including offering recommendations for places to visit. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon!

Relaxing getaway

Our three nights at the Linhay were delightful. The stay was incredibly relaxing. The cottage lived up to its expectations - it was clean, well-equipped, spacious, cozy, and with a beautiful view just as shown on the website. We didn’t go out much, but enjoyed the comfort of the cottage and the hot tub.

Absolutely lovely

Beautiful, spotless property and stunning surroundings with everything done to the highest standard with lovely hosts. If I had to be picky the hot tub could do with a little levelling but not an issue and didnt detract from our stay at all. So peaceful and perfect. Would definitely recommend and stay again. 5*

Perfect getaway for our mini-moon

My partner and I stayed at East Trenean Farm in the Linhay Cottage for a short getaway after our wedding. It’s the second time we have visited (we got engaged there in 2020!) and the cottage and location is absolutely beautiful. Graham and Jane are so welcoming and it definitely feels very relaxing staying there. We would definitely recommend it, and are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for having us again.

Lovely cottage with hot tub and great views

We had a lovely stay in the linhay cottage in June this year. The hot tub was an added bonus to sit out and admire the views of an evening. The cottage was a really good size and good value for money. We really appreciated the hamper on arrival. This was a good base to explore cornwall. We also admired the well kept plants and flowers in the gardens around the cottage. The electric charger was really handy and we enjoyed looking at the sheep from the car park.

Perfect holiday

We spent an excellent week at East Trenean Farm. We were extremely lucky with the weather and the accommodation was conveniently situated for sea and countryside excursions. Linhay was spacious, clean and well equipped for all our needs. The large garden had a panoramic view of fields and valleys. Our first holiday in an electric car was made stress free by the EV charge point for our exclusive use. We would highly recommend East Trenean Farm.

A home from home

Linhay certainly was a 5* property in every respect. Top quality furnishings & fittings, very comprehensively equipped & spotlessly clean on arrival. Nice to receive the items of local produce in the welcome pack. Lovely, peaceful outdoor space with beautiful views. The hot tub is well placed to enjoy the views, very private and well maintained throughout our stay. Graham & Jane were friendly hosts but not intrusive. It was lovely to explore this part of Cornwall, a first visit for us as we usually venture futher south into the county. We would have no hesitation in recommending Linhay to future guests.

A little gem in a great location

The Linhay has everything a couple needs for a peaceful holiday, with friendly helpful owners on site, should you have any concerns or for the local knowledge. The hot tub was lovely and had amazing views of the unspoilt countryside and the beautiful gardens, there was always bird life to watch whether from the hot tub, patio or cottage windows. Good location close to Looe, taxi £14 ew saved the hassle of parking, in order to enjoy a few drinks and a good meal. The beaches at Seaton and Talland are worth a visit, both have toilets and refreshments available. We can certainly recommend a stay in this well equipped and VERY comfortable cottage and hope to come back. Thank you Graham & Jane PS the eggs were lovely

A perfect getaway destination!

A perfect week in The Linhay Barn. An immaculate and extremely comfortable property, very well equipped, with a beautiful garden (& hot tub), and a fabulous view over the countryside. A great spot for a glass of wine in the evening or relaxing with a good book during the day. We found it difficult to go and about as we were so happy just to relax and soak up the peace and quiet. Loved watching some little birds (chiff-chaffs) flitting in and out of the shrubbery outside the bedroom in the mornings whilst having our early morning cuppa. Jane & Graham are wonderful hosts and make you feel very welcome. Looking forward to another visit already.

Lovely anniversary stay!

We chose The Linhay to spend our 30th wedding anniversary week, and it did not disappoint! The Barn itself was spotless, extremely spacious and had beautiful views from the windows. Our hosts Graham and Jane were very friendly and helpful, always on hand for advice and assistance, and we appreciated the welcome hamper and delicious free-range eggs from their chickens. The outside space was extremely private and very quiet, perfect for our romantic break, and the hot tub was fantastic with its far-reaching views of the countryside. Sadly the weather wasn't too kind to us during our stay so we weren't able to sit out on the patio and enjoy the garden with a glass of wine as much as we'd have liked to. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we hope to return again another time xx
