Holiday cottages near Peterborough, sleeping 10 with an events barn, perfect for family and friends get togethers and special celebration weekends

Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends. The Linhay, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, sleeps 5 - 10 in 5 bedrooms.

The Linhay sleeps 10, with each of the 5 cottages sleeping 2, and The Hollow also has a sofa bed for an extra charge.

This gorgeous restoration project started life as a hayloft on the family arable farm and has since been turned into lovely luxury holiday cottages near Peterborough, situated around a central courtyard area. It's the sort of place favoured by 3 generational families, friends and couples who want to meet up for a holiday or to celebrate a big birthday or other event. The Linhay boasts a spacious events barn and for an extra cost it is possible to hire this for a special dining experience, a meeting or a small wedding.

Each of the 5 cottages is fully self contained with comfortable open plan living. The front of the cottages lead out onto a courtyard area where there are bistro tables to relax over a cup of coffee or a G&T. At The Linhay guests get the best of both worlds: a sociable experience staying with family or friends, while enjoying the peace and privacy of separate accommodation. Have a quiet breakfast for 2 before meeting up to plan the day ahead. Bedrooms are stylish, cosy rooms with original wall features, white bed linen and handy contemporary en suites.

The events barn is a fantastic space full of original character and charm. Gather there for corporate meetings or entertaining clients. Arrange a family bonding experience such as wine tasting, wreath making or yoga. And if the great outdoors and lots of fresh air are more your thing, Stoney Lands is a 25 acre field available for guests during their stay.
