There are wonderful countryside walks from your door to the neighbouring village with community shop & excellent pub or explore further afield.

Lighting in the Linhay is powered by Solar PV and a battery storage system, there are also several rechargeable lanterns and a DAB radio.
The property is dog friendly, with one dog very welcome – but do contact the owner direct as they can be flexible if you would like to bring two dogs.
Outside you can relax in the hammocks and simply take in the sounds of nature. There’s a rustic table and benches for outdoor dining, Adirondack chairs for a relaxing cuppa or enjoy the firepit and amazing star-fields in the evening. There’s ancient woodland and wildflower meadows to explore and a beautiful riverside glade with a yoga deck – perfect for morning sun salutations, picnics & relaxing. These spaces are yours to enjoy exclusively, ensuring total privacy and ultimate relaxation.
Off Grid – what it means…
Home comforts in harmony with nature – the Linhay is not connected to the National Grid so has no mains services, no power sockets or wifi. There are power sockets, recharging points for lanterns and phones as well as a fridge freezer by the parking area for exclusive use of Linhay guests. If you are on Vodaphone or O2 you will have a good 4g signal in the Linhay & surrounding area – (guests have used this to work from home), BT and EE signal is a bit patchy but fine for texts & calls.
Cooking is on a gas hob, BBQ, small wood-burner oven or over the fire pit with unlimited hot water for washing & washing up provided by a gas boiler. The Linhay’s water is from a spring fed well which is treated and tested to ensure it is the purest spring water for drinking. You’ll find it makes an excellent cuppa and tastes delicious as it contains no chemicals and all the other nasties associated with mains water.
