Townend Barn

Townend Barn is a charming top-floor barn, tucked quietly within the owners' acre of garden, in the centre of Lydford. Perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape in Devon, this pet-friendly abode boasts off-road parking and a fully tuned Steinway grand piano to delight music lovers and lend a touch of grandeur to your stay. Surrounded by original sculptures and artwork, this is a wonderful retreat from the hurly burly of the modern world. Inside is lofty and open-plan with ceilings to the apex, oak floors and a clever marriage of old and new furniture creating an intimate, cushy atmosphere. The living accommodation, dining area and sleek fitted kitchen, feature notable artwork and sculptures, a woodburning stove and a handsome, fully tuned Steinway grand piano. A heavy curtain separates the pretty, comfortable double bedroom with a beamed ceiling. Outside a sloping gravel path leads to your own lawned garden with a table and chairs. Lydford, on Dartmoor's western edge has two good food pubs, a farm shop and is famous for its National Trust gorge and waterfall, and ruined medieval castle. You can cycle or walk along the Granite Way, fish on the river Lyd or ride a horse across the moors from local stables. Further afield the market town of Tavistock has plenty of shops, restaurants, an indoor pool and cinema. Equidistant between the north and south coasts, the sea and beaches are about 25 miles away. After a day of exploring Dartmoor, curl up by the woodburning stove at Townend Barn.
