The property
The Linhay is a delightful barn conversion nestled within a working farm in the stunning East Devon countryside. Surrounded by rolling fields and enjoying far-reaching rural views, this characterful retreat combines rustic charm with modern comforts, making it an ideal escape for couples, families and dogs alike.
Positioned just two miles from the vibrant market town of Honiton, The Linhay is perfectly placed for exploring the best of both coast and countryside. The beautiful Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, with the elegant seaside town of Sidmouth, the charming fishing village of Beer, and the renowned fossil-rich beaches of Charmouth all waiting to be discovered. Closer to home, guests can enjoy scenic countryside walks, browse local farm shops and relax in traditional village pubs.
Stepping inside, you'll find a spacious kitchen and dining room where exposed stone walls celebrate the property's agricultural heritage. Equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer, the space is designed for relaxed holiday living, while an air conditioning unit provides cooling in summer and additional warmth during cooler months.
The cosy sitting room offers the perfect place to unwind after a day out exploring. A feature stone wall creates a striking focal point, while comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a welcoming electric woodburner make it easy to settle in for a quiet evening. Large windows draw in the surrounding views, and patio doors open directly onto the wooden sun terrace.
Upstairs, the accommodation retains all the charm of the original barn. The double bedroom enjoys lovely views across the countryside, while the second bedroom provides a single bed with an optional pull-out bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families. A stylish, newly fitted shower room features a spacious walk-in shower, basin and WC.
Outside, guests can make the most of the peaceful setting from the terrace, complete with a bistro table and chairs for al fresco dining or a morning coffee in the sunshine. To the rear, lawns and garden space offer plenty of room for children and dogs to play.
Whether you're discovering the coastal beauty of Beer and Charmouth, exploring the scenic landscapes of East Devon, or simply looking to relax and recharge in idyllic surroundings, The Linhay provides a welcoming base for memorable holidays at any time of year.

About the location
HONITON
Ottery St Mary 5.6 miles; Lyme Regis 14.2 miles; Exeter 16.7 miles.
Honiton is a delightful market town in East Devon, with plenty to offer visitors. It lies in the valley of the River Otter and is surrounded by rolling Devon hills, green wooded valleys and plenty of scattered farming villages. Honiton has an attractive High Street stretching almost 2 miles, and lined with individually owned shops, pubs and restaurants. Honiton has been famous for lacemaking since the reign of Elizabeth I and still has a few lacemakers in work today - visitors can see some fine examples of antique lace in the town’s Allhallows Museum. Honiton boasts the only public art gallery in East Devon; the Thelma Hulbert Gallery occupies an attractive Grade I listed Victorian house, and has links with the Hayward Gallery, London. Honiton is only a short drive from the dramatic 20 mile stretch of Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Resorts such as Seaton, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are found along this stretch of coastline, and all have much to occupy the visitor. Near to Honiton is the cathedral city of Exeter with plenty of large shops, a wealth of museums, a theatre and fabulous restaurants.
