Delightful open plan barn conversion with piano in historic Dartmoor village

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.

Room with a Steinway
An extremely comfortable, very well appointed accommodation. Excellent situation for pubs, the Moor and public transport. Nick and Tania were excellent hosts - there if we needed assistance. The highlight for me was the opportunity to play a beautiful Steinway piano

Lovely barn conversion complete with grand piano!
We had a very enjoyable week staying in the barn over New Year. The barn is well equipped, including a decent kitchen. The piano is a great addition to the barn, and I very much enjoyed playing it every day during our stay. Plenty to do nearby, with the Granite Way and Gorge both on the doorstep. We also made trips to nearby Dartmoor and Looe. Booking and check in all very straightforward, and Tania & Nick were really helpful with everything - thank you both.
