About this house rental
The Linhay provides luxury accommodation for 16 people in the picturesque Exmoor National Park.
Set on a working farm with views of the valleys and rolling hills of Exmoor. This is the perfect property for large groups of family and friends who are looking to escape to the countryside and nearby coastline.
MAIN LIVING AREAS
The spacious open plan accommodation is set over a split level. Linked by the vaulted timber roof, it is an awe-inspiring space to unwind and relax.
The heart of the home is often said to be the kitchen and you will not be disappointed. The fully equipped kitchen with modern AGA style oven with induction hob is perfect for preparing a feast for the whole family, which you can enjoy at the 15ft oak dining table. Hand-crafted on site from a single oak plank sourced from a wind-felled tree on a local estate.
On the upper level, you can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of your surroundings on one of the sofas. Or after a long day exploring the local countryside and beaches head to the bar area and catch up with friends and family over a cocktail or fine glass of wine chilled in the wine fridge.
Heading down the sculptural spiral staircase brings you to a central hall with access out to the front and rear gardens.
EXTERNAL AREAS
The Linhay is set within its own gardens. The front lawn is flat and open and ideal for having a kick around or setting up a badminton net.
The rear garden is more secluded, set over several levels with a hidden garden at the top surrounded by trees. The built-in seating area and BBQ make this the ideal space to enjoy those warm summer days and when the sun goes down light up the fire pit and look up at the stars which shine particularly bright due to Exmoor’s status as an International Dark Sky Reserve.

We have just returned from a fantastic week's stay at the Linhay. The property is absolutely stunning, great for large groups with a beautiful kitchen and wonderful entertaining space. Every bedroom having it's own bathroom was a real plus and the BBQ facilities were brilliant. Shout out to Alan for being on hand and fielding all our queries!

My family of 14 stayed at The Linhay for one week. The barn has been converted into luxurious accommodation with spacious en suite bedrooms, large kitchen/diner with all mod cons and Scandinavian-type lounge. Property surrounded by fields with country lanes. Would definitely recommend.

Very spacious modern 8 bedroom all with ensuite well equipped holiday retreat. Great for families of all ages as long as transport not a problem, as it is in a rural location with very little immediate facilities. However Lynton and Lynmouth, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, and other coast line beaches, all drivable distance. Quad biking, water inflatables and local fetes and markets dependant on time of year. The weather was very favourable to us which made it a perfect venue for us. The hosts were very amenable and helpful. Definitely a place to consider if you are looking for an out of the beaten track for a large group.

Beautiful property
We are a group of family and friends with 2 dogs who stayed at the Linhay in August 2021
We had a fantastic time and found the property accommodated us really well being a large group.
It was quiet and peaceful which was a lovely change from city life.
We were well supported by Alan during our stay which created a very friendly atmosphere.
We enjoyed travelling to all the near by Devon beaches.
The property was very clean and comfortable and equipped us with everything we needed.
Would highly recommend to others
Thank you

A very special barn conversion.
We really enjoyed the building which was equipped to a very high standard, with a design that suited our large group.
The owners were very helpful and friendly.
The location was beautiful and great for seeing sites along the coast and on the moor.

Beautiful house and location, spotlessly clean, and plenty of space for our party of 14. Alan and Lyn were perfect hosts, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
Great kitchen with everything you could need to cater for a large group like ours. Fantastic sociable tables both outside and inside.
We loved the perfect balance of feeling like we were in the middle of nowhere but could quickly and easily reach local towns and villages in just a few minutes. We especially loved the local town of South Molton and the regular twice weekly market which was great for all kinds of fresh meat and veg.
The house was in easy reach of all the major resorts and attractions in North Devon and especially the Exmoor National Park.
Would love to visit again some time soon!
