Garden with patio furniture and BBQ. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking. . One of two beautifully converted stone barns, The Linhay, sits adjacent to the owners’ home, and is set between the picturesque villages of Altarnun and Polyphant. This “upside-down” cottage combines mellow stone walls and old beams to create a warm and welcoming environment. The large double-aspect living room with wood burner and views over the garden is the perfect space for relaxing after a day exploring the local area. The spacious farmhouse style kitchen/dining room is well-equipped with everything you need to whip up some fantastic holiday feasts. A high-pitched ceiling, beams and exposed stone walls all add to the cosy feel in this cottage, whilst the patio doors opening onto the garden add extra light. Two twin rooms and one double bedroom make this accommodation perfect for family or friends to get together. Finally, two bathrooms mean you will never be fighting for space to get ready.
The holiday cottages have an elevated position overlooking an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provide an excellent centre for exploring the coastal paths and moors of both Devon and Cornwall. The Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and several magnificent National Trust houses and gardens are within easy reach, as well the fascinating seaside villages of Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac and the food capital of Cornwall, Padstow. An Ordnance Survey walk passes right by the cottages and the area is a walkers’ paradise. The historic market town of Launceston, 5 miles, offers supermarkets, shops, a castle and sports facilities. Plymouth and its many attractions is 25 miles away. The area has a growing reputation for good pubs, restaurants, farm shops and locally produced food. Admired golf courses, fishing, horse riding and cycle ways can be found nearby. Shops and pub 2 miles.
The Linhay can be booked together with Stable End (GTN) to accomodate up to 10 guests.

Cosy comfortable warm accommodation
Spacious converted barn. All we needed for a week away. Despite both having developed colds before our arrival we made the most of the comfort offered. Bit off the beaten track but perfect for peace and quiet

The Linhay:a wonderful choice.
The house was lovely, spacious , comfortable, like a home. We got in easily and the owner came to greet us a couple of hours later. Nice gardens , very quiet and peaceful. Lovely area , very convenient for walking the Tamara Way. Altogether a delightful experience , would definitely stay there again.

Central, quiet location
The Linhay was a great choice for us as we attended a wedding at nearby Tregulland. The countryside is very quiet around the accommodation—a car is absolutely required. It's just 10 minutes drive to Launceston for all amenities, a half hour drive to the sea, and a few miles drive to an excellent pub, The Rising Sun. Loved the wood burning fireplace and the host's homemade scones. Our hosts were on-site and very pleasant to deal with. We find Home Away a somewhat slower process than direct-to-owner communication, ergo rating property manager only "good."

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans un gîte agréable à vivre où il ne manque rien. Il est situé dans un magnifique endroit de campagne, idéal pour se ressourcer. Merci à Geoff, le propriétaire, pour son accueil très sympathique. Nous recommandons ce beau cottage sans hésitation.
