  • "Beautiful home, had a fabulous holiday."

    If I had to make a comment it would be the floorboards! Seriously noisy! Maybe new blinds in the master bedroom too. Other than that it is 100%!

  • "A perfect Christmas getaway for our families providing relaxation, space and everything you could want in a lovely environment."

    The house is fully equipped - we cooked Christmas dinner for 8 and were not short of anything - fridges, freezers, oven and all the crockery and utensils. Fantastic. Lovely big rooms throughout the property as well as a great games room with a pool table. Outside, the hot tub and sauna provides another space to chill out during the day or under the stars. Walk from the house alongside the steam railway line to the seaside town of Watchett. Overall we were kept updated by the owners and nothing was a problem. Thank you.

    Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled you had a perfect Christmas getaway and enjoyed the amenities. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon! Property Owner

  • "We had a fabulous time, the children loved the table tennis, games room and outdoor space while the adults preferred the hot tub and sauna."

    The house was clean, well equipped and a perfect set-up for a couple of family's as it has 2 staircases providing separate wings. Plenty of space both inside and out so the whole family could sit and eat or just chill out together. No one was ready to leave and we all could have welcomed another week at the property. The only contructive criticism from our party was that the blinds in the master bedroom could perhaps be replaced as they have seen better days and let a lot of light in but on saying that on darker mornings it may not be a problem. Great communication from the owners and a speedy return of the house bond. Thank you very much for a lovely holiday.

  • "Had a lovely stay @ the Linhay which was perfect for our family."

    The bedrooms were super comfortable, spacious and having an en-suite in each room was great. The house is lovely, well equipped which was great as we spent all our time there and we made full use of the kitchen and dining area. The owner was just a message away & was very helpful. We enjoyed the hot tub, ping pong, sauna, pool table & garden area, in fact we didn’t want to leave! The only downside I would say is the noise from the traffic which can be heard in the front 2 bedrooms. It was very warm whilst we were there so had the skylights open, with these shut you probably wouldn’t hear the noise.

  • "We were a party of 6 adults with two dogs."

    The property is a fabulous size and is convenient for Washford, Watchet and Minehead. The steam railway stop is close by and was very popular with our group. The listing is accurate and they do advise of road noise… the road is very busy and the noise is heard most in two of the bedrooms plus the kitchen. Positives.. Size of rooms… all are excellent even the twin has its own shower. Plenty of wardrobe space. Outdoor space … excellent and enclosed so safe for children and pets. The field area for the dogs was really appreciated. Outdoor seating…. plentiful and comfortable. Outdoor facilities… hot tub, chess, table tennis , sauna: hot tub used regularly, table tennis very good too although we did have to buy ping pong balls to play. Perhaps leave a few in the house for the inevitable loss of some in play? Parking…plenty of room for 3 cars and even though the larger property on the same site was occupied there was no issue getting in or out. Indoor facilities… games room was a bonus and was used by the group. Large tv and games provided for evenings.Plenty of seating in the living room so all could sit together and the double doors out to the garden were good in the hot weather. Kitchen was big enough to cook for a big group. Communication… easy to speak with Sarah and she advised us by phone that the property was ready to occupy ahead of the stated time.. we really appreciated this.. thank you. Housekeeping bond returned quickly. Just a few niggles in the negatives… Quality of decor… felt a little tired and could benefit from a repaint. Shower in double bedroom needs attention… coming away from wall? Barbecue… appreciated the starter fuel but no tools to use it.. very difficult using ordinary kitchen tools. Blinds …all stated that the blinds should really be blackout on the velux windows as although we loved the beautiful sunshine we wanted a lie in on holiday. Curtains required for the large , garden facing bedroom please. Washing line and pegs… couldn’t find any. There is an excellent washing machine and a dryer so not a real issue but would have appreciated being able to put washing outside to dry. Internet provided but the strength is not adequate for the size of the property.. perhaps a few boosters ? We all loved our time in this property and the positives far outweigh the niggles. Beautiful part of the country too.

  • "A really lovely property: well designed, attractive and comfortable."

    Well equipped but a pair of kitchen scissors would have been useful and some table or floor lamps in the sitting room. The adjacent field was a big bonus for the dogs, especially as it had been mown so we could play ball with them there. The A39 was the only downside to staying there. The road was very busy and as the Linhay was close to a bend it was dodgy to walk along the main road. We were disappointed to find that the pub and shop within 5 minutes walk had both closed down. Had a great stay though and would recommend the property.

    The whole property is beautifully presented, it was spotless and the bed was so comfy! The owner was on hand for any queries I had prior to the stay and was very helpful. The hot tub was definitely a group favourite! There was also a lovely welcome hamper which was a nice touch.

  • "The Linhay was a perfect choice for our family gathering with plenty of space and good facilities."

    The owner was communicative and answered our questions quickly. The house was warm and clean on arrival and there was a welcome hamper of local goods. We enjoyed the hot tub (checked daily) and the sauna which heated up for £1 within the hour after that it just ticks along as you top up. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was key for us and the beds were very comfortable and the linen good quality. The sitting room was spacious enough for all to sit (and even dance) and the log burner was lit and enjoyed. The extra fridge in the utility room was handy. The White Horse pub at the other end of Washford (less than 5 minutes by car) had a welcoming team, open fire, large riverside beer garden and served good home cooked food. We would also recommend Exmoor Distillery for a tour and tasting (need to book for both). All in all, this was a great choice for our family holiday and we would stay again. Thank you!

  • "What a truly wonderful stay we had over the New Year period."

    We were a party of 7 adults and 2 dogs and this cottage was perfect for us. Really secure garden so didn't have to worry about the dogs if they were outside, the garden also had a gate that led directly into the field which was perfect for the dogs to run around in. Kitchen very well stocked with cutlery, glasses, crockery etc. The hot tub and sauna were both used and were thoroughly enjoyed. Beds were really comfortable. Just a couple of things to note, not that these will stop us from looking to return: There are two internal steps in the property leading from the kitchen to the dining room and lounge, not sure if this was listed in the property description. The floor boards upstairs on one side of the property are very noisy. Lastly, not sure if I would recommend to people who are wanting plenty of walks from the property. There is a local pub about a 10 minute walk but there are no paths along the busy main road so we personally didn't feel comfortable walking the dogs down here, neither would we if we travelled with children. But with that being said Exmoor and Quantok Hills are a 20 minute drive away so you're not far from some walks. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our break and would very much love to return one day.

    Unfortunately we couldn’t find anything and felt we had to disturb the owners a couple of times, where as normally we don’t need to as all info is there. One other thing we did find the checkout time to be extremely early. It’s normally about 10/10.30. But I must say apart from that we had a lovely stay in your beautiful Linhay and I would highly recommend it. Thank you for a much needed break. Linda x

    The area also has plenty to offer just a pity that no visitors book to put comments about different places and eateries guess due to covid and keeping the infection away.

    The house is so spacious and very clean. All bedrooms are a great size and beds were comfy too, we requested a cot which was stored away in the wardrobe, again this was perfect for our little one. There were 2 high chairs available along with 2 stair gates. Large kitchen with all necessary utensils in and 2 large dining tables (indoor and out) The Linhay is a short drive to the beach and other local towns to explore however there is more than enough to keep you busy within the property. As a family we certainly spent a lot of time playing table tennis, chess and relaxing in the hot tub! This review could go on and on, there were no negatives for us at any point throughout our stay. We would definitely return here in the future.

    Excellent for dining for a large family holiday, good kitchen facilities, good enclosed gardens, fab hot tub, spacious bedrooms well laid out. Floorboards on landings extremely creaky and noisy, showers took some getting used to to get consistent temperature flow. Great idea to have a games room - pool table too large for the room needed smaller cues to get round the table properly. Sofas in lounge in need of new cushions/springs looking at. We were a family of 6 adults 3 children and a baby and the house was excellent for our stay. Had a great time.

    The holiday exceeded our expectations! The house itself was well equipped especially the kitchen. We are foodies who love to cook and all the things needed to make amazing meals were there. The welcome basket was also much appreciated! The amenities were also top notch. The pictures do not do the place justice! The games room is roomy and perfect to while away time! The lounge was massive and so comfortable. The hot tub and sauna were both well maintained and we used daily. Someone came to check the hottub twice daily which was much appreciated. Our puppy loved the adjacent field with the small stream that you can use for dog walking. We had several walks and picnics in the second larger field as the views were amazing. One thing that the site pics don't showcase is that you have 2 enclosed garden areas. One to the front and one to the side. One to the front is lawned so perfect for meals outside and kids and dogs to play and the other laid to hard service where the hottub and sauna as well as kids play area and outside table tennis and sitting area are. As we were leaving we were lucky enough to bump into the owner who was so gracious. He gave us a tour of the larger adjacent property with the pool and we will definitely consider it when we book with a larger group. Thank you so much for an amazing holiday! Will definitely be booking again!

    The house is really modern and spacious and with 2 families joining the Grandparents, you didn’t feel cramped. There’s a good selection of walks to take from the property, especially if you have a dog. The most enjoyable walk was the 40 minute amble to Watchet Harbour following the railway track Dogs and children loved it! So did the adults. Having a hot tub and sauna so close to the house was another bonus, less shivering, or enduring cold winds, especially when you holiday in the autumn/winter months!. There’s lots to discover in this area, especially Dunster Castle that was operating a timed tour of the “house” during the winter months....something they’ve just introduced. One word of caution, finding the property in the dark, in the winter months (we did November) was challenging as lighting/ highlighting the entrance to The Linhay on the A39 was difficult. Thankfully we arrived at 3pm which allowed us a modicum of era.........I did have to stand in the access to the holiday home with a powerful torch to help late arrivals......especially our family. SatNav only gives the area it’s in, but not the actual location. Perhaps the photo of The Linhay could be updated to give a more accurate representation of the property/location, thus giving new occupants a visual to look-out for. Sarah, the owner is friendly and very helpful, and nothing is too much trouble if something isn’t quite right. In all, a perfect stay at a perfect house in a perfect location.

  • "The Linhay exceeded all our expectations!"

    Very spacious property, spotless and beautifully decorated. Well equipped with everything you could need and a gorgeous hamper of locally sourced products was a lovely treat on our arrival! The kids loved the games room and of course the WiFi. The hot tub and sauna are fantastic - hot tub checked twice a day by the owners and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back.

    This cottage is so beautiful - the owner is lovely, she showed us around and was very welcoming. She gave us a our privacy throughout the weekend. The hot tub is fantastic - so big and really good temperatures. The cottage is much bigger than expected, the rooms are seperated within two wings of the cottage. Every room was very nice and clean. We had the best time here, and it made our 4 hour journey from London well worth it! And for a brilliant price too! We will definitely be back!
