    “The Linhay is an excellent house for a family get together.”

    There was ample kitchen equipment and the welcome goodies much appreciated. The house is well presented and clean. The hot tub and sauna were cleaned and maintained daily and popular with the family even on cold days. Sarah our hostess was very helpful and ready to respond to questions. The house is as described in the information with two bedrooms one side of the property and two at the other. This was ideal for us but should be borne in mind when thinking about sleeping arrangements ...

The property

The Linhay is a generous and characterful barn conversion set in the peaceful village of Washford, close to the historic harbour town of Watchet and the rolling countryside of Somerset.

Designed with space and ease in mind, this inviting retreat is ideal for families or groups of friends looking to spend time together without feeling on top of one another.

Sleeping up to nine guests, the property is arranged across two wings and features four thoughtfully laid‑out bedrooms, each with its own en‑suite facilities.

The sleeping arrangements include a king‑size bedroom with an en‑suite bath and shower over, a double bedroom with both a bath and separate shower, a twin room with an en‑suite shower, and a flexible family room with a double and single bed, also benefitting from an en‑suite shower.

A ground‑floor WC adds further convenience during busy mornings.

At the heart of The Linhay sits a well‑equipped kitchen, supported by a useful utility room, while the dining room seats eight and offers an appealing setting for relaxed meals and long, chatty evenings.

The sitting room is a particular highlight, featuring a woodburning stove and patio doors opening onto the decking, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the year.

For those who enjoy a bit of friendly competition, the separate games room provides a pool table.

Outside, guests can enjoy a private patio with outdoor furniture and a BBQ, a small lawned garden, and access to a shared lawn that leads to an adjoining field, ideal for stretching legs or giving dogs space to roam, as two pets are welcome.

On top of this, there is a bubbling hot tub available to guests, which provides the ultimate relaxation experience!

Off‑road parking is available for three cars.

The location offers plenty to explore.

Nearby Watchet features a charming marina, independent shops and cafés, while the West Somerset Railway runs through Washford, offering scenic steam train journeys along the coast.

The Quantock Hills, Dunster Castle, and the wild landscapes of Exmoor National Park are all within easy reach, making The Linhay a superb base for discovering this varied corner of Somerset.

Note: This property is next to Ref 968441 and 1069178, together they sleep 27.
