Luxury retreat for 2 with stunning rural views, private hot tub and EV charging
A beautiful spacious stone-built barn conversion, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The Linhay is one of four cottages at East Trenean Farm, offering high quality comfortable accommodation, with modern facilities. The one-bedroom cottage is ideal for couples with the added luxury of a gazebo covered hot tub with a stunning view. A place to relax in a ‘get away from it all' location, yet only 3 miles from the fishing town of Looe and its beach.
Linhay is a beautiful single storey cottage with original features including thick stone walls and exposed wooden beams. There are oak floors and doors and a couple of internal steps where there is a change in levels. It is furnished with a mix of antique and contemporary furniture, rugs, paintings and wall art. The cottage has BT Fast Broadband with an Open Mesh Wi-Fi network. The cottage is non-smoking.
The spacious bedroom has a super-king bed that can be split into two single beds and arranged as a twin room.

The cottage has a selection of board games, puzzles, DVDs and books for the enjoyment of our guests during their stay. There are double glazed doors to the garden with rural views beyond.
There is a private south facing garden with lawn and beds stocked with trees and shrubs, a patio with a fabulous view, garden chairs, table and parasol as well as a charcoal BBQ. A perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine with a glass of wine! The hot tub with rural valley views to the sea, is covered by a wooden gazebo, so you can enjoy even in the rain! A perfect place to relax - maybe after a day walking, exploring or surfing. We ask that you bring your own swimming towels.

The farm is a peaceful rural haven with open countryside, wildlife and ‘big skies' to enjoy. We frequently see wild rabbits, bats, hedgehogs, woodpeckers, buzzards, owls and other bird species. If you are lucky you may even see a deer!
Cornwall has so much to offer, the SW coastal path and beaches at Seaton, Looe and Millendreath are only a short 3-mile drive away. We are a perfect base for touring both Cornwall and Devon, with the fishing towns of Looe, Polperro and Falmouthto explore close by and attractions such as the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Land's End and The National Aquarium all within easy reach.

There is horse riding and trekking locally in the beautiful Cornish countryside. For cyclists there are tracks suitable for all levels nearby and trails in the Camel and Tamar Valleys. Looe Golf course is less than a mile away with spectacular views.
For walkers there is the extensive and dramatic SW Coastal path with dramatic cliff top views and secluded coves to discover.

Great holiday in a beautiful cottage. Friendly and helpful host. The cottage had everything you could possibly need for your holiday. Everything was spotlessly clean. Hot tub was great and very private. Close to a couple of nice beaches.

Xmas break
We stayed over Christmas for the first time and we had a great stay
The cottage was very festive with a tree and garlands
We had everything we needed to cook our Christmas dinner and we would definitely recommend it for a chilled break away
This was our third visit and it was as good as our first
The setting is very tranquil and relaxing and the hot tub is a nice bonus
Thanks to Graham and Jane for another lovely stay

Beautiful cottage
We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful cottage (Linhay). It is in a fabulous location with views across open county to the sea in the distance and well placed for exploring the lovely south Cornwall coastline. Spacious, comfortable, well equipped and perfect for two. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Stay
We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Linhay which is a lovely cottage for two people at East Trenean Farm which is a few miles outside Looe. Apart from being very spacious and comfortable it is the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in and the hot tub in the private garden is the icing on the cake! You will not be disappointed if you book.

Relaxing getaway
Our three nights at the Linhay were delightful. The stay was incredibly relaxing. The cottage lived up to its expectations - it was clean, well-equipped, spacious, cozy, and with a beautiful view just as shown on the website. We didn’t go out much, but enjoyed the comfort of the cottage and the hot tub.

Chill out at the linhay
We chose to return to East Trenean farm after a hectic few weeks to chill and recharge our batteries.
Once again it was the perfect retreat as it was on our previous visit.
The location is easy to find and access.
We stayed at Linhay cottage which was spotless and very well equipped with great attention to detail.
We spent two of our days not even leaving the farm as we just enjoyed the tranquility and surroundings.
The hot tub was amazing and an added feel good factor.
Graham and Jane are great hosts and are on hand to deal with your needs if necessary.
Having said that we did not have any need to contact them as everything had been catered for.
We are already looking at our next booking.
If you are looking for a chilled and relaxing break you need look no further.
We highly recommend a stay at East Trenean Farm.

Perfect getaway for our mini-moon
My partner and I stayed at East Trenean Farm in the Linhay Cottage for a short getaway after our wedding. It’s the second time we have visited (we got engaged there in 2020!) and the cottage and location is absolutely beautiful. Graham and Jane are so welcoming and it definitely feels very relaxing staying there. We would definitely recommend it, and are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for having us again.

Lovely cottage with hot tub and great views
We had a lovely stay in the linhay cottage in June this year. The hot tub was an added bonus to sit out and admire the views of an evening. The cottage was a really good size and good value for money. We really appreciated the hamper on arrival. This was a good base to explore cornwall. We also admired the well kept plants and flowers in the gardens around the cottage. The electric charger was really handy and we enjoyed looking at the sheep from the car park.

Perfect holiday
We spent an excellent week at East Trenean Farm. We were extremely lucky with the weather and the accommodation was conveniently situated for sea and countryside excursions.
Linhay was spacious, clean and well equipped for all our needs. The large garden had a panoramic view of fields and valleys.
Our first holiday in an electric car was made stress free by the EV charge point for our exclusive use.
We would highly recommend East Trenean Farm.

A home from home
Linhay certainly was a 5* property in every respect. Top quality furnishings & fittings, very comprehensively equipped & spotlessly clean on arrival. Nice to receive the items of local produce in the welcome pack. Lovely, peaceful outdoor space with beautiful views. The hot tub is well placed to enjoy the views, very private and well maintained throughout our stay. Graham & Jane were friendly hosts but not intrusive. It was lovely to explore this part of Cornwall, a first visit for us as we usually venture futher south into the county.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Linhay to future guests.

A perfect getaway destination!
A perfect week in The Linhay Barn. An immaculate and extremely comfortable property, very well equipped, with a beautiful garden (& hot tub), and a fabulous view over the countryside. A great spot for a glass of wine in the evening or relaxing with a good book during the day. We found it difficult to go and about as we were so happy just to relax and soak up the peace and quiet. Loved watching some little birds (chiff-chaffs) flitting in and out of the shrubbery outside the bedroom in the mornings whilst having our early morning cuppa. Jane & Graham are wonderful hosts and make you feel very welcome. Looking forward to another visit already.

A little gem in a great location
The Linhay has everything a couple needs for a peaceful holiday, with friendly helpful owners on site, should you have any concerns or for the local knowledge. The hot tub was lovely and had amazing views of the unspoilt countryside and the beautiful gardens, there was always bird life to watch whether from the hot tub, patio or cottage windows. Good location close to Looe, taxi £14 ew saved the hassle of parking, in order to enjoy a few drinks and a good meal. The beaches at Seaton and Talland are worth a visit, both have toilets and refreshments available. We can certainly recommend a stay in this well equipped and VERY comfortable cottage and hope to come back. Thank you Graham & Jane PS the eggs were lovely

Lovely anniversary stay!
We chose The Linhay to spend our 30th wedding anniversary week, and it did not disappoint! The Barn itself was spotless, extremely spacious and had beautiful views from the windows. Our hosts Graham and Jane were very friendly and helpful, always on hand for advice and assistance, and we appreciated the welcome hamper and delicious free-range eggs from their chickens. The outside space was extremely private and very quiet, perfect for our romantic break, and the hot tub was fantastic with its far-reaching views of the countryside. Sadly the weather wasn't too kind to us during our stay so we weren't able to sit out on the patio and enjoy the garden with a glass of wine as much as we'd have liked to. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we hope to return again another time xx

Beautiful get away in a wonderful location
We stayed at the Linhay for one week and it did not disappoint! The views looking out onto the rolling farmland hills was a delight to wake up to every morning. The location is amazing with being roughly 10 minutes from Looe, Talland Bay, Seaton, everything is around you. The property was extremely clean when we arrived and had all the essentials we needed. Plenty of internal and external space to use. The hot tub was one of the best we have had, even better at night under the lights of the pergola. Graham and Jane were the most accommodating hosts we have had, they were so welcoming and made the stay that bit better! It was so good that I even proposed on the grounds, after Jane gave us a tour around the farm to find the right location for it. We loved our stay at East Trenean Farm and can highly recommend. We will most definitely be returning, I think we have found our go to stay in Cornwall.

We had a lovely 3-night stay at the Linhay. The accomodation was as described in all marketing information and from the previous reviews and certainly had luxury touches to make us smile. The cottage and hot tub couldnt have been any better! The hosts were welcoming and communicative through out. If we plan to come back to Cornwall anytime then we'd certainly consider booking again.

A Very Comfortable Stay
Everything we needed for a comfortable holiday.
Very spacious and quiet.
Lovely garden and hot tub.
Perhaps a fleece blanket for the sofa or to use as summer weight bedding with a sheet would be a useful addition.
Copley Arms, nearby, does excellent food with gluten free options suitable for coeliacs which was particularly helpful for us.
