About this property
Set in peaceful countryside, this lovely cottage converted from a traditional Devon linhay is a wonderful place for walking a spectacular area of Dartmoor. The quality fabrics, carefully chosen colours and original paintings create a haven which is relaxing and characterful. On the ground floor the large open plan living area is a sociable space, leading through French windows to the garden patio. The two bedrooms upstairs are restful, with beams and views of fields from the pretty double. Surrounded by a granite wall, the garden is a welcoming space to sit out, or you can wander further along a track to a meadow and stream where dragonflies dart. A friendly, traditional Devon inn is just over a mile away, or you can go a little further to the bustling small towns of Chagford or Okehampton, which offer a choice of inns, interesting shops and eateries. This is a brilliant base for walking Dartmoor and the ancient Mariners Way. Note: This property can be booked with Ref: 982185, together they sleep 8.
A picturesque town at the northern point of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, Chagford is small in size but is packed with amenities and things to do. There is a wide range of shops as well as four pubs. Chagford also has more active facilities such as public tennis court and an open-air swimming pool to enjoy at your leisure.

K. over the past six years, I have to say The Linhay is like being in a familiar home. The cottage is cozy and relaxing. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. It feels like Iâm staying with family. The owners are lovely and the location is perfect. The private garden is beautiful. Great work everyone! Thank you for the much needed relax.

Loved everything about this property, the secluded garden for the dogs was awesome, lots of birds in the garden so I put a feeder out and more came , bird watchers delight , it was warm , well equipped, milk and cake a bonus , the only thing I missed from home was a set of kitchen tongs , but that's just what I use a lot of , loved having the option of a bath or shower too , if it wasn't such a long drive I would be back again in September, thanks again fo letting me , steve , penny and oli (dogs) have your property x
