The village has easy access by bus into York (for attractions such as the famous York Minster, National Railway Museum, the Yorvik Viking Centre, the Yorkshire Chocolate Story, the City Walls and Racecourse) or the nearby Georgian town of Easingwold.

The barn is ideally situated for access to the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors and other attractions such as Castle Howard, Eden Camp, the Yorkshire Air Museum, Ampleforth Abbey and School and the seaside towns of Scarborough and Whitby.

Beautiful accommodation in beautiful grounds
Such beautiful accommodation which had everything we needed. The layout was perfect for us and having the pool table and the assortment of games was great. The bonus of a sauna was great! The grounds were lovely with the sheep and Beebee the alpaca who was really entertaining. The woods were beautiful for a wander and we even managed to see the owl. Thank you for a perfect week.

Second visit to this property
We came back to visit with other family members and enjoyed our stay just as much as the first. Some of us were a little under the weather and so it was lovely to have a relaxing, beautiful environment in which to rest. We were even able to avail ourswlves of the sauna which had been installed since the last time we visited back in September. A delightful property! i wish we could find something similar to one day for us to live in!

Beautiful barn getaway.
The barn was absolutely perfect for our family get together. A real home from home. We all enjoyed our time thoroughly. Our hosts were very good at communicating which made organizing our stay much easier. Will miss waking up to see the alpaca and sheep in field opposite!

A wonderful find
Perfect for what we needed to get together as a family for the first time in years. Very nice property, thoughtfully ready for us and a lovely cake to welcome us. Really friendly and helpful when there were things we needed. The location is lovely and the children loved the alpaca and walking in the woods. Thank you both!

A beautiful place to stay and relax
The property is not only stunning, it is set in the beautiful countryside with sheep, rabbits and even a friendly Alpaca. There’s tons of room inside, we were a party of 8 and a small dog. There’s also loads of room to play and explore outside. You can sit in the garden and eat breakfast/dinner together as there is a large garden table. My mum is in a wheelchair so the downstairs bedroom with en-suite was perfect for her and dad. There’s lots of great things to do for all ages within a short car journey. I would definitely recommend this excellent property.

Fantastic Place
We booked as a family of 8 and the place is absolutely perfect. Easy to find, spacious, clean, it has all the amenities needed for a great weekend away. We loved eating and playing games around the big kitchen table. We also enjoyed the outdoor activities such as table tennis and the local animals. We would highly recommend this place, it’s in a lovely village with places to walk, visit and eat nearby. We were very thankful of a great family weekend stay at this amazing location.

We had a simply fantastic week and cannot recommend the barn enough. Not only does it have tons of space both inside and out to either relax and enjoy the wonderful surroundings but it also sits in the perfect position to explore the rest of North Yorkshire. Can’t wait to return!

Daughters 40th
What a lovely place everything was immaculate, this place was a gem…… Cyntra popped round not long after we settled in just to make sure everything was OK, which was very thoughtful. Fantastic location just 15min from York, so we visited the Christmas market. Walking around the village was nice too, met some old ladies walking their dogs (as were we) so they pointed us in the right direction through the woods in the centre. Thank you for making our daughters 40th a memorable one. Tony H

A beautiful stay in a great location
We stayed for the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. Cyntra welcomed us on arrival and insisted that we let her know if there was anything that we needed, everything was perfect already however. A party of six adults, there is plenty of space, the house is lovely and the grounds are nice, full of local wildlife. It's a short trip into York city centre, we took the bus in and a taxi back. Highly recommended!

5* barn stay
Launde Barn was a perfect place to stay with our familie while in the area. Exceptionally clean and warm too. Comfortable well sized bedrooms. Lots of space for our party of 5 to enjoy and our dog enjoyed his walks in the woods on the farm. Bebe and the sheep greeted us every time we stepped out of the door! The hosts have an eye for detail and provide a very lovely place to stay which is in a peaceful setting. The village pub provided a very good meal for an evening as did the New Inn nearby in Huby which was a Cantonese restaurant. Visited York for the National Railway museum and Jorvik Viking museum both of which were well worth a visit. We would definitely come here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Cyntra Hinde

Host profile image
Marcus and Cyntra Hinde. We have lived here for 10 years and have worked hard to create a warm an inviting environment for family friends and guests. We have two children at university, cocker spaniels and an array of sheep and chickens and two Alpacas who are mother and son.

Why they chose this property

We love the privacy and feeling of space we get around here and, whilst being rural, we are right on the edge of the village which includes a great village pub and and a fabulous Italian restaurant. The pub is a short stroll away and we have easy access into York by bus or car.
We developed the barn in 2016/17 and it is located behind the main farm house. It is very private and is not overlooked in any way , it looks over two paddocks containing all our rescue animals. The 7 acre wood was planted 15 years ago and is a great place to stroll in the morning or evening. You may even see one of the three deer, or a badger or owls that seem to like staying at night. You may also see buzzards in action.

What makes this property unique

The luxury of a new Barn conversion in a rural setting, with the benefits of loads of space to view the wildlife and the birds. but with easy access to the beautiful city of York. Launde Barn is very peaceful without feeling or being totally cut off.
