About this property

Townend Barn is detached and situated in an acre of grounds with Townend House the village of Lydford. The barn is situated behind the main house and the parking is off road. Beautifully converted to a high standard, the barn is open plan but intimate and heated by storage heaters and a very efficient wood burning stove. There is a grand piano to play, two bookcases filled with interesting books for you to enjoy; original paintings and wooden animal head sculptures decorate the walls. Lydford has no street lighting so after an evening meal at one of the three good restaurants in the village you can walk home without worrying who is going to drive. Lydford is a thriving working village and an ideal base from which to have a relaxing and interesting time. The moor is only 15 minutes walk. It is a beautiful unspoilt part of the moor - No ice cream vans or big coach parties. You can find wilderness within half an hour.

Changeover day is Friday.

Great holidays

Die „Scheune“ liegt in einem idyllischen Dorf hinter dem Haus des Vermieters. Sie hat einen eigenen Garten und ist mit allem (und mehr), was man braucht, ausgestattet. Supernette Vermieter. Im Ort sind zwei empfehlenswerte Gastronomien (Castle Inn und Lydford House), der Ort selber ist historisch und super hübsch. Man kann direkt um den Ort tolle Wanderungen unternehmen und erreicht mit dem Auto auch recht kurzfristig die Küste. Wir sind über 1.300km angefahren - und jeder einzelne Meter war es wert! Great and very British!

Lovely barn, excellent accommodation

We spent 4 nights at Townend barn over Christmas and had a fabulous time. The barn is beautiful, well appointed with everything you need for a short stay. We would definitely recommend Townend barn and would stay there again.
