"Remote location - perfect for walking our lab."
Very helpful owners.
Ideal location for visiting towns or country. Walk around Lydon Gorge (both ways) to really appreciate the location and do at least one long walk along the Dartmoor Way taking in the church on top of Brent tor. A must if you are fit and keen walkers.
We now miss the piece and tranquility (and the cheeky pheasant and his intended!).!

"We really loved our stay at The Linhay - I can’t imagine we’d want to stay anywhere else on Dartmoor."
It was so comfortable and peaceful and we enjoyed watching the different birds from our window! The cream tea that was waiting when we arrived was such a lovely welcome. We enjoyed being able to walk out onto the moor and it was perfectly located for us to easily get to all the places we wanted to go. We will be back!

"Lovely cosy accommodation in a beautiful and peaceful location surrounded by wildlife with direct access onto the open moor, perfect for long dog walks."
Danielle and David are charming hosts. Lydford Gorge is on the doorstep with NT tea room (open in season) and the Castle Inn is dog friendly and does great food. Our week was blessed with glorious spring sunshine, but regardless, we’ll be back. An ideal base to explore what Dartmoor has to offer.

"Lovely location, very quiet."
Stunning walks right on your doorstep. Easy access to pretty much all of dartmoor. The property was well laid out and well equipped. Friendly hosts who respected our privacy. The only complaint i have was the squeaky floors. Definitely recommend though.

"We had a wonderful stay at the Linhay."
The cottage was spacious for two people and a small dog, it had everything we needed and was very well presented, clean and comfortable. We were greeted with a cream tea which was just what we needed after our trip there. The hosts were friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. We felt like we could ask should there be anything we needed and it would be no problem, but the cottage was so well equipped we didn't need to ask for anything!
The location of the cottage was great for exploring Dartmoor with our dog, with walks straight out onto Gibbet hill and Black down. The cottage is quiet, peaceful and isolated, surrounded by farm land, nature and bird song. It's ideally located to visit many of the sights of Devon and Cornwall and return home to a comfortable rest.

"Cosy and well equipped comfortable hideaway with access onto the moor and a short walk from the gorge."
Weather was wet during my stay, but the accommodation felt like a home from home, so I still had a fabulous time. Recommended for those looking for a peaceful location. Around 1 1/2-2miles into Lydford which has 2 pubs, a farm shop and small shop on the campsite (depending on season).
The Linhay feels private, but is also near the owners house who are lovely and on hand if anything needed.
If you have a dog, you will need to accompany it when it has to go outside.
Would be happy to return again.

And, of course, the lovely friendly and welcoming host family. If you want somewhere quiet where you feel you are living among the treetops this is the place for you.

Lots to see and do locally, with great pubs for food and drink. Very friendly and helpful owners who live next door, but plenty of privacy too. Wonderful wildlife spotting possibilities, including directly from the main living area. Thoroughly recommended.

"Warm, cosy, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean with welcoming hosts."
We loved the rural situation and being able to walk out of the door, through a gate and out onto the Moor and so nice to come back to a welcoming log fire. It was our perfect Christmas escape.
Wonderful.

"Quiet peaceful and well appointed."
Feature for us was the busiest bird feeding station ever with a diverse range of visiting birds. The only downside was the lack of a direct access to the garden area which meant we could not let the dogs wander in and out as they like to do. Plenty of areas to walk the dogs on the property though. The hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Lovely rural setting on the very edge of Dartmoor itself. On the doorstep to Lydford Gorge. Great for walking. Local Inns all good for food and accommodated our little dog without any problems. Our real favourites - liver and bacon in the Bearslake, and steak and blue cheese pie in the Castle Inn.

Being on the very edge of the moor our dog thought he had gone to doggy heaven.
only one sore point, my head, as one wall had a slope which came down to within 2 ft of the floor. Ok when you got use to it.
