We stayed in Linhay in March 2024. We, a family of 5, had a great week there. The house is located in a small village, the coast and many sights can be reached quickly and easily by car. The house is lovingly furnished and offers a lot of space. Everything is in perfect order. The kitchen is very well equipped. The owners Greta and Stewart are veryRead more friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed a lovely holiday in the cottage. It has the most amazing views of the countryside appreciated from the decking where we enjoyed eating breakfast and evening meals when the weather permitted. It was very comfortable for our family of 7, parents grandparents and 2 toddlers and a baby. The toddlers enjoyed feeding the hens and counting the Read moretrain carriages. Loved the beaches and the fun parks. Highly recommend. Hide

A very cute and well appointed property. We loved to barbecue on the deck out front with an amazing view of the valley. All the rooms and beds are very comfortable. It was great for the kids to interact with the resident chickens( thanks for the lovely eggs). All up a great couple of days away, thank you.
