Property Summary
The Linhay is a spacious and comfortable barn conversion that is well placed for exploring North Devon. Alternatively, you can explore our 2 acres of gardens, swim in the heated outdoor pool (seasonal) and meet the animals.
Main Description
The Linhay is a split-level property with a private entrance, one of six cottages on our site, attached to the Shippon.
Access the cottage via a small porch. Inside, you'll find an open-plan dining and living area with a table and chairs for five; a high chair is available upon request. A Bluetooth speaker allows you to enjoy your favorite music while dining or relaxing. The living area has ample sofa space for the whole group to sit together and watch TV or chat.
The kitchen is equipped with a fridge/freezer, microwave, electric oven, and hob. It is well-stocked with crockery, cutlery, glasses, and pans. There is also a dishwasher and a washer/dryer for the exclusive use of Linhay guests.
A small flight of stairs leads to the lower hallway, where you'll find the main bedroom, twin room, and family bathroom. The spacious main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and enough space for a cot if needed.
The single bedroom is located at the opposite end of the cottage, accessed directly from the open-plan living area, which is ideal for older children who enjoy having their own space away from younger siblings.
