About this property

A recently converted studio barn, sleeps 2. An ideal base for walkers with Dartmoor and the Coastal Path

Set in a small valley in the heart of the South Hams, The Linhay at Lukesland offers a chance to escape into the real Devon countryside. The property is set in an officially designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and surrounded by farmland. Lukesland is itself a registered holding whose 15 acres of grassland are quietly mown by grazing sheep and whose small, but prolific, flock of chickens lay fresh eggs for breakfast!

The Linhay is a newly converted barn, once used for milking and stables. The Linhay is attached to the owner's house but has its own, separate entrance from the courtyard, allowing easy access by car for unloading luggage. The spacious 40’ x 13’ room has a king-size double bed, underfloor heating, and a comfortable sitting room area with a kitchenette situated on the mezzanine floor.

Outside there is a gravelled barbecue area for the exclusive use of guests and a secluded garden, sunny all day, with a bench strategically positioned to bathe in the last rays of the setting sun. Guests are welcome to roam the fields, as are well behaved dogs on leads.

There are walks directly accessible from the property but, for the serious rambler, Dartmoor is just 15 minutes to the North and access to the South West Coast Path is 20 minutes south. Surfers will find sport close by at Bantham and sailors will delight in the facilities at Dartmouth and Salcombe. There are a number of golf courses in the area and Plymouth and Exeter offer film, theatre and other entertainments. The South Hams is an especially good base for the food lover; the area is blessed with fantastic restaurants and some famous chefs.

    We wanted a relaxing break and that is what we got! A lovely barn conversion, very friendly hosts. The local area is a joy to explore, Dartmouth is a real gem follow the coastal route for spectacular views. The California Inn is warm & cosy with very good food. We have driven down the narrowest roads ever & explored the local lanes by foot. A lovely break thank you!

    We had a lovely, relaxing break. The Linhay is perfect and a warm and cosy place to return to after some sightseeing. We loved Burgh Island and Newton Ferrers. Found some great pubs and tea-rooms, visited Totnes Market and the castle as well as Buckland Abbey. Thank you so much Carol & Simon for providing excellent accommodation and a warm welcome!

    With all the trials & tribulations of our rebuilding project ( grand designs eat your heart out) We both wanted to get away and relax. The Linhay never disappointed and was a few days of bliss. Simon & Carole were wonderful, with their welcome and the glorious birthday cake. Although our days were designed around enjoying hot water & showers (a luxury at the mo!) we enjoyed Totnes & Dartmoor a great deal for lovely little trips. The chickens were wonderfully curious little fellows who seemed to enjoy the delights of our car. Overall we cannot fault our holiday and it has been so special to get away and just unwind. Thank you for the eggs and other treats!
