The Linhay in Devon is highly praised for its cleanliness, high standards, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the attentive host, Briony, and the tranquil environment. The modern amenities, including a hot tub, add to the comfort, although the remote location requires driving for outings. A few guests mention thoughtful touches like a welcome basket.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests have highlighted the exceptional cleanliness of the property, describing it as 'very high standard', 'clean and tidy', and 'beautifully clean'. One negative review mentioned unclean bedding, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The property is appreciated for its tranquillity and rural setting, offering peace and quiet. However, some guests noted the challenge of accessing the property due to narrow country roads and a single track road, which may not suit everyone's preferences.
Guests have found the property to be very comfortable, with several positive comments about the peaceful environment and the luxurious hot tub. Comfortable beds and well-equipped rooms contribute to the overall satisfaction, although one negative review mentioned a bed issue.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and modern amenities. However, the score reflects a deduction due to a complaint about bed maintenance, suggesting a need for attention to ensure all facilities are consistently up to standard.
Many guests have expressed gratitude for the thoughtful touches provided by the host, such as a welcome pack and farm eggs. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The property has been well looked after. It has everything you need for your stay. The hot tub is a perfect addition. The owners are very friendly. We received a lovely cream tea when we arrived.

The beds were terribly unclean, all eight pillows were heavy soiled, the bed quilt was also soiled as was the mattress protector, the mattress also was heavily stained⦠Briony did respond to our text message, replacing 4 pillows with new, this was late afternoon, by then we had washed and dried, the bed quilt, mattress protector and the two pillows ⦠The bed framework had split away from the bed leg and gave way Wednesday night, we moved into the two single beds for the remainder of the night⦠we decided to leave the property Thursday, as the disruption of a bed changeover would be two much for us. We did text Briony regarding the bed collapsing and she did respond in the afternoon, by that time, we was on our way home.. Your description of the property doesnât match what we saw, the photograph of some of the views did not exist. We would appreciate a refund of three days, because of losing a day washing, and two days not sleeping there. Ps. Your company did not inform us of the 300 yards approach to the property. The poorly maintained road, singletrack, not good! This is the first time we feel let down by yourselves, hence the low, scoring of 5. It is this particular property, we could not recommend.
