Shane and Helen Austin
Retreat to the romantic, self contained, 17th century thatched Linhay in the heart of peaceful South Milton village. Recently refurbished but retaining all its charm and character, the Linhay is an cosy yet stylish, private space to relax and reconnect. Note to the very tall - The Linhay has lower than average ceilings in the Living area and the Bedroom. Those that are over 6ft tall may need to take extra care
Shane and Helen have been hosting for many years now and thoroughly enjoy meeting new people. We really care about our guests and will be on hand to answer any questions or give ideas on where to go and what to do. We do have two friendly dogs on the premises. The Linhay is kept gated and there is no access for the dogs.. unless you choose to let them in!
Centrally located to all major South Hams attractions , Bantham & South Milton Sands, Thurlestone golf course & Salcombe for its boating and sailing vibe. Hope Cove’s bars & live music, Kingsbridge shops, supermarkets & nightlife are close. Dartmoor is a short drive away and well worth the trip
