About this property

The Linhay - Beautiful views and hot tub

Tucked away in a peaceful setting, The Linhay offers a quiet retreat far away from the crowds yet is within easy reach of some of Torbay and the South Hams' beaches, towns, villages and attractions.

Tastefully renovated to an exceptional standard, The Linhay is a spacious, contemporary and amply equipped holiday where all the family can enjoy comfort and relaxation. Set over two floors, the cottage has four upstairs bedrooms including a superb master suite with its own shower room and far-reaching views over the rural landscape. There are two additional bathrooms, one with a free-standing bathtub and one with a double shower on the ground floor off the utility room. The huge ground floor kitchen is framed by views of the countryside and a spacious separate dining room lies alongside the living room where you'll find a log burner and doors that lead straight out to the raised decked terrace.

Surrounded by nature, there are stunning views on display from every angle, and with plenty of outdoor space on offer, you can kick back and enjoy time together whether dining in the sunshine, lazing on the lawn or soaking the hours away in the bubbling hot tub. One of three luxury cottages on Higher Yalberton Farm, The Linhay is a hidden gem. Exposed trusses and stone walls are just some of the original features that add to the property's character, with its tasteful furnishings, high-end fittings and enormous interior making it a truly special place for holidays in Devon.

*The Linhay is most suited to families & couples looking for a tranquil holiday in the rural South Devon countryside setting. It’s not suitable for party groups, hen or stag do's. If your stay falls outside either of these groups, please get in touch before making your booking to discuss your requirements.

A fabulous holiday home built and decorated and furnished to a high standard. Super friendly and helpful hosts going out of their way to make our stay even better. So peaceful in the valley and yet shops 5 minutes away for groceries and easily accessible to coast and towns. Great location. Look forward to future visits.

A very enjoyable holiday at the Linhay

Fabulous accommodation with lovely hosts. The house was perfect for 6 adults and a 2 year old who loved exploring the grounds. Jen and Kev made us feel very welcome and were always very helpful. The location was great and we enjoyed exploring the local area. The house was spacious and well equipped, including all we needed for our toddler- thank you! We enjoyed Pennywell Farm, the steam Railway with a river trip, and the beaches

What a beautiful property in an amazing setting, in the country side but only 2 mins from Paignton. You will not be disappointed with this property it’s so peaceful and relaxing that you won’t want to explore !!! The hosts are excellent and very personable. We had a fantastic time, we will be back. The property is in the countryside but only moments from the town. There is a great vineyard near we did a wine safari and had a beautiful meal there. Steam train to Dartmouth was worth doing and Goodrington was great for a day at the seaside, however you could just stay and enjoy the house as it’s so beautiful and relaxing there.

Hi Catherine, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic stay and enjoyed both the peaceful countryside setting and the property's convenient location close to Paignton. It's lovely to know that you were able to make the most of the local area, from the wine safari and dining experience at the nearby vineyard to the steam train trip to Dartmouth and a day at Goodrington beach. We are especially pleased that you found the property so relaxing and comfortable that it was just as tempting to stay and enjoy the house itself. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing getaway in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Wonderful Family holiday at the Linhay

We had a wonderful time at the Linhay thanks to the very warm welcome and the excellent accommodation. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and made good use of the bathrobes and towels provided. The outside space was delightful looking down the valley across the old apple orchards. The BBQ went down well and the kitchen was well stocked for family meals. It was very peaceful and we hope to go back again.

Weekend away

Went as a group of mates for a weekend away here, and what a place to stay. Jen and Kev were brilliant and so welcoming. The house itself is amazing, a stunning place to stay with great decor and facilities. It had everything you need for a lovely holiday, the kitchen is well stocked, the house very clean and little things such as the hot tub towels and robes were a brilliant touch. It’s nestled away in the quiet countryside, but only minutes away from shops and other facilities. The views from the garden are gorgeous and the story behind how the created this lovely space is amazing. Would definitely recommend this place, I will definitely consider returning!

An absolute gem

This was our second visit to The Linhay in Paignton with all the family, and we absolutely love it here. Firstly, Jen, who owns the properties, is so helpful — nothing is ever too much trouble for her. The Linhay itself is superb, and the cleanliness is amazing. Everything you could possibly want is provided, even down to children’s books, which was such a thoughtful touch. We are already looking forward to returning again next year. It’s not very often that we go back to the same place, but the whole family love it here. Having worked in travel for over 30 years and now working for Marriott, my expectations are always high, and this place exceeded them all. Don’t hesitate to book — you won’t be disappointed. Our stay was amazing!

Half term break

We stayed for 5 nights during half term and what can I say, it was perfect ! The house and settings were stunning, beautifully decorated and everything you could possible need and lovely extras such as coffee pods and biscuits. The hosts were really welcoming and very helpful. Our friends stayed next door and it worked perfectly, with 2 hot tubs it worked out perfectly a kids one and an adults one. Plenty of space for the children to play and run around, they enjoyed toasting marshmallows on the fire pit. Whilst it felt very remote and quiet, it was very accessible to supermarkets, take aways, towns and walks. Would highly recommend, with the set up of the 3 properties, its perfect for a family or friends get away.
