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.

    Quiet and full of charme in an outstanding neighborhood. We went to the cozy bar almost every night and gazed at the stars on out way home.

    We enjoyed the barn very much, great location in a village with good dog walks nearby and excellent dog friendly pubs. I had not read the description properly, had I done so I would not have stayed here simply because we were not allowed to have the dog off lead in the garden. This made morning and evening poos very difficult. We found the barn beautifully appointed with wonderful books and paintings and a fabulous piano, perfect for those rainy days - forecast but didn't happen. I was just a little surprised that though extremely well equipped basics were missing - tea, coffee, milk, and shampoo, body wash - things we have always taken for granted in hotels/holiday cottages.We have one serious complaint and it was our inability to communicate with our hosts thanks to Vbro not recognising our booking. I managed to speak to someone who I could not understand due to her lack of English, she indicate the fault was at my end and I should clear my cache! I was eventually able to get a phone number from the virtual assistant and was able to call our host.Chrissie Way

    We spent our honeymoon in this beautiful place the barn was lovely with everything we could have wished for and a beautiful secluded garden which our dog Bella loved. We had a great time exploring Dartmoor which was helped by the gorgeous weather.

    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.
