Downtown Farm is a mile from the centre of Lydford (but only ¼ mile from excellent food pub) and ½ a mile from the open moor (rivers/pools for swimming), two semi-detached cottages and one farm house annex on a 12 acre open farm (featuring many rare breed cattle, sheep, goats and birds). Designed and furnished to a high standard, each has its own enclosed paved patio (table/chairs and barbecue) garden with wonderful south-westerly views (brilliant sunsets). Small pond, orchard with children’s play area (slide, swings), very peaceful. Great for two family parties to share.
