Linhay was perfect for two plus dogs. It had all the facilities one needs, including microwave, cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. Nice welcoming gift of wine, biscuits and dog biscuits - much appreciated. It was very clean and comfortable and had an informative brochure which included details about the pet pigs !! Would recommend Linhay to anyone who wants a quiet break but is within easy access of local towns.

The accommodation is small but adequate for a short stay. However, in the kitchen /living area there is an uncomfortable bucket chair and a very low, small 2 seater sofa. No good for anyone with back or arthritis problems, we turned round and went home. Very disappointed
