Why jenny barnes chose Malvern Hills
We wanted to be surrounded by our own fields and away from the hub of cities.
We found this block of land. We put in a road way and built everything here in time. We thought other people would like to enjoy our lovely spot and get away from the rush of life and unwind.
There are many towns, cities and places of interest close by so it is never boring here yet you can come back to peace and quiet.
Being near the M5 & M50 gives quick and easy access to to other areas.
What makes this cottage unique
On a clear night there is no light pollution here so the stars are visible.
A wealth of wild life can be seen here which includes pheasants, hares, rabbits, foxes, badgers, owls, bats, many small birds, duzzards,and the heron

Perfect country break
We stayed for two nights, looking for a quite country stay. I am very happy with the choice made as I couldn't have pictured it better. The accommodation was clean cosy and perfect size. It was just the two of us but could fit four. There's achers of land to walk around on with plenty of gorgeous landscape and fresh air. We have been supplied with fresh breakfast food including hams, cheeses, crossaints, milk, cereal etc which was more than enough. The owners are very easy to talk to and happy to help. I would recommend this stay to everyone looking for some peaceful stay with gorgeous views.
great location, peaceful
We met friends here as it is half way between us and we wanted somewhere to catch up, chat and somewhere with a good location for walking. We had a great meal at the close by Farmers Arms pub and we even got to see newborn lambs on the farm. The owners are very attentive, friendly and helpful.
Ideal
Ideally located for walking or exploring the wider area. Facilities were first class with a surprisingly well stocked fridge as we arrived! Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area and we will certainly visit again.
Lovely, would definitely stay again!
Lovely, cozy spacious cottage. Amazing views, peace and quiet.
Beautiful countryside gettaway
Everything about Linhay farm is excellent. The value for money, cleanliness, location, service. owners. We stayed this year for 2 nights to get away from the city life with our 10 year old daughter and our Dalmation puppy, we were greated on arrival by the most warm welcome from mr and mrs Barnes. My daughter enjoyed the owners horses and the dog could run free in acres of fields without a care in the world. The local pub was also amazing and lovely people. We enjoyed walking, horse riding, local ale and visiting local traditional towns. We will be visitiing again next year. Very highly recommended!
Lovely Accommodations!
We needed a change from the busy city sightseeing and found just that. Linhay is located out in the pastures with lots of woods and sheep around. The "cottage" is beautiful - spotlessly clean and most comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all the ingredients for a healthy breakfast. Lots of windows making the space light and airy. Our hosts, Jenny and Mike, were kind and helpful. The location is not far from interesting towns to explore if one wanted to do that. We would definitely go back!
