One of the finest courses in the south west. At 6231 yards long, it offers a fair and interesting test of golf that requires accurate shot-making in order to score well. The fairways have been cut through a profusion of heather and gorse and, according to Peter Alliss, the 16th tee provides 'the best view in golf'.

Guest comments
Debbie and Simon, Surrey 'It's magical - a real find. And there is so much to do in the area. We will definitely be back.'
The Timesonline March 2004. 'Thatched cottages don’t come any newer than The Linhay, it has a traditional green oak frame (still cracking and twisting as it dries), with an interior that’s suffused with oak beams, so it almost resembles a tree house. Downstairs, the kitchen-diner, flagged with Cornish slate, is well equipped. The living room is comfy with sofas and books. One of the delights of Linhay is the abundance of natural light from the large windows, ensuring that the cottage is cosy, not poky. Upstairs a mezzanine gallery links the double and twin room. Off street parking is private.'
'We really enjoyed staying in your cute home. Everything we needed was there,except broadband! The golf at Budleigh Salterton was excellent and the views amazing. We would definitely like to go again and would have no hestitation recommending to others.' Carol Williams.

My husband and I own the property with my parents and we use the property for ourselves as well as a holiday let. We also run a furniture business. We fell in love with the property as it a lovely mix of old and new.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
There is so much to do in the local area:
1. Proximity to the Jurassic coast, a World Heritage site. Enjoy glorious walks with breathtaking views
2. Great beaches - Budleigh Salterton is a pretty shingle beach (1.5 miles), whilst Exmouth (5.5 miles) is a large sandy beach.
3. Many attractions for all the family in easy reach, such as Bicton Park Botanical gardens - beautiful gardens, childrens play areas, train ride.
4. Proximity to Exeter, with its wonderful cathedral and great shopping. Only 10 miles away.
5. Lots of lovely country pubs and tea rooms int he area! probably not the best holiday for those on a diet as there really is an abundance of good food on the doorstep. We would also love to hear about any great finds in the local area-places of interest, pubs, restaurants, etc.
Unique benefits of the property
We fell in love with the property as it a lovely mix of old and new. It is a very old barn with a thatched roof and a modern, comfortable interior with a 5* finish. We want all our guests to rally enjoy their stay at the Linhay and would welcome all your comments (good or bad) so that we can improve our service. We believe it is a really special place and a joy to stay in.
The property is in the lovely village of East Budleigh, which truly has picture postcard good looks, with the brook running down the high street and flowers at every turn. The village has won a Britain in Bloom award for many consecutive years. The village has two pubs, tea rooms, childrens play park and village shop.
