The West Country / Devon region

East Budleigh, a "Britain in Bloom" winner every year since 2003, is best known as the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh. Set in the heart of the Devon countryside in an area of "outstanding beauty", the village has a brook meandering along the high street. It has an ancient church, community shop, a garage, two pubs and lovely tea rooms. East Budleigh is approximately 1.5 miles from the sea at Budleigh Salterton, a pretty, unspoilt pebble beach whilst the sandy beach of Exmouth is approximately 10 minutes drive. There is easy access to countryside and coastal walks.

East Budleigh is only a mile and a half away from the Jurassic Coast. The Jurassic Coast covers 95 miles of truly stunning coastline from Exmouth, in East Devon, to Dorset, with rocks recording 185 million years of the Earth's history. It is England's first natural World Heritage site. World Heritage status was achieved because of the site's unique insight into the Earth Sciences as it clearly depicts a geological 'walk through time'. World heritage sites are places of 'outstanding universal value' selected by UNESCO. Exmouth, at the estuary's mouth, marks the World Heritage Coastline's western gateway and despite being one of England's oldest resorts, remains untouched by commercialism.

The Budleigh Salterton / East Budleigh area

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, children's play areas & train ride. Or Powderham Castle which is rumoured to be haunted, or The Seal Sanctuary.
4. Proximity to Exeter, with its wonderful cathedral and great shopping and only 10 miles away.
5. Great Golf, including East Devon Golf club within 5-10 minutes drive situated on the cliff top at Budleigh Salterton at the western end of the World Heritage coast, with magnificent views along the coast. One of the finest courses in the south west, according to Peter Alliss, the 16th tee provides 'the best view in golf'.
6. Lots of lovely country pubs and tea rooms in the area! Probably not the best holiday for those on a diet as there really is an abundance of good food on the doorstep, including lovely delis and farm shops.
We would also love to hear about any great finds in the local area-places of interest, pubs, restaurants, etc.

Airports at Exeter (10 miles). Bristol Airport (75 miles). Also good train links at Exeter from approx. 2 hours from London Paddington. Use of a car is recommended as there are so many places to visit in the area. However, for those without a car many things are in walking distance as the pretty village has a shop, two pubs (Rolle Arms across the road may allow you to take your dinner home if you ask nicely!), play park, tennis club, and some lovely walks. And you could walk to Budleigh Salterton in about 25 minutes.

“Cosy cottage - great place to spend Xmas” I had a wonderful time here, staying with friends over the Christmas break, and just want to say that the photo's really don't do the place justice. The cottage is very cosy and warm and was the ideal place for our makeshift Christmas celebrations. The kitchen was really well equipped and we easily managed to throw together a wonderful roast xmas dinner. The fact that there is a pub across the road was very handy as well, for the times we were too lazy to cook. We had a great time using the cottage as a base to explore the jurassic coast.

Guestbook for The Linhay

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.'
Carol Williams: 'We really enjoyed staying in your cute home. Everything we needed was there,except broadband! (now there is)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.'
