Accommodation Details
All first floor. One king-size double bedroom. Open plan living area with sitting area with wood burning stove, kitchen and dining area. Bathroom with roll-top bath, hand-held shower shower, basin and WC.
At the end of a private drive on a smallholding in a hidden Dartmoor valley is The Linhay. This very comfortable apartment has direct access to the moor and great views towards Brentor church and Dartmoor's highest tors. Inside is bright, modern and easy. Fifteen steps lead to the entrance via big French windows to the open-plan living area where you can sit in front of the wood burner, on a comfortable sofa and admire the views of the moor and valley. The very pretty double bedroom has a king-size bed adjoins a lavish bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower. You're welcome to wander the surrounding 20 acres of field, woodland and lakes, and there's a small enclosed patio garden with furniture for your own private use. The Linhay is a really great base within easy reach of the most dramatic Dartmoor tors. 1½ miles from Lydford, with its spectacular gorge and 3 miles from Brentor, the scenery here is breathtaking. For the sporty among you, you can walk or cycle along the Granite Way, or Roadford Lake offers an array of water sports. For a more relaxed turn of pace the beaches of south Devon are within a 30 minute drive.

To the north, just half a mile away, the high tors come right down to the village edge, while to the south the River Lyd winds its way through Lydford Forest on its tumbling course northwards.

Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?
Reviews
A beautiful spot and a wonderful rental apartment (though it somehow feels big enough to be a house). I've rented a lot of holiday cottages and this is the best I have found - it was spotless, thoughtfully designed and comfortable throughout with some lovely little quirky design pieces thrown in. As everyone has commented on the cream tea and eggs welcome - it was great but top marks with the dog treats and how did they know my dog's favourite brand?? I guess because Danielle and Dave are naturally intuitive - approachable, helpful and discreet - perfect. The setting is magnificent. You are right next to Lydford Gorge though for us the weather was so good that we felt like being out on the moors rather than somewhere under dark cover. The gate really does open onto one of the finest Dartmoor moors. I can't think what else to say really - no downsides and we will definitely be back if we're allowed! Thank you
We stayed at the Linhay in Lydford, Dartmoor Nat Park for our holiday. We had a fantastic time and were made very welcome by the owners by local treats. Also our dogs were not forgotten! The moors are just a few steps from the Linhay and the area has a lot to offer, with Lydford Gorge (NT) within walking distance, one of the highlights for ourselves. The cottage is very modern and comfertable and there was not anything we missed, everything we needed was there, even local maps etc were there. If you like peace and quiteness, this is a good place to stay. Kind regards, Rob and Mirjam, Almelo, the Netherlands.
We were made to feel very welcome from our arrival with scones and cream and even the dog was left a treat. The property is beautifully renovated with homely accessories and you can walk straight from the property onto the moors. There is lots to do within a short drive and the nearest bigger town Tavistock is great for shopping and eating. This was one of our best holidays of all time as its such a peaceful part of the world. I would definately recommend!
