Beautifully maintained property in easy to-reach rural location, close enough to York to pop in and enjoy, and far enough from the hustle and bustle of day to day life to relax and enjoy time with friends. Everything we needed for an enjoyable stay provided.

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.

60th Birthday Family Getaway
This house is beautiful, there is everything you may need and more. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyed, we were delayed in our arrival time and had ordered a food delivery which the host very kindly received and put away in the fridge. Peaceful and close to the Dales where we enjoyed lovely walks. The sauna and lumi pod was a nice treat too! Would highly recommend to anybody wanting a family get away. You will not want for anything, house is very well equipped and lovely lemon drizzle cake upon arrival. Thank you!!

A beautiful barn in a great location
We rented the barn for four nights for a family birthday party. Everything is decorated to the highest standard with beautiful bedding, towels and soft furnishings. All the bedrooms are a good size. We loved the open plan kitchen and lounge and the dining space was perfect for our party. We were greeted warmly by our host and nothing was too much trouble. The outdoor space is fabulous and the village is beautiful. We had a wonderful time from start to finish.

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!

We spent five days in the property which was extremely spacious for five adults. Everything was perfect in a lovely relaxing setting within easy reach of York and the beautiful countryside. Facilities were excellent with everything you could possibly need. The local pub was friendly with very good food and a lovely atmosphere. We would definitely recommend this property.

The property was lovely. All of the rooms had beautiful furnishing and comfortable beds. We were also impressed by how clean and organized everything was.

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.

Beautiful barn - perfect for a group of friends !
We had a brilliant weekend at the barn - they have done an amazing job of renovating it and it had everything we needed. The furnishings and overall finish are all great quality, if it was the summer we would have certainly made use of the terrace and outdoor eating area. The kids loved the paddock and enjoyed feeding the friendly sheep ! Highly recommended - thanks for your hospitality and we hope to return again !

Exceeded expectations!
My first thought when we got to the venue was ‘oh wow this is beyond what I expected!’ I was blown away at the beauty of the property and surroundings, the layout and finishing touches of the property make it so homely but still clean & well finished without being crowded. The extra touch of a homemade loaf and a little note was such a treat, everything had been thought of and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, I will definitely recommend to friends & family. Communication was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble me. Thank you Marcus & Cintra for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Beautiful converted barn near York
The barn at Launde Farm is clean, spacious and brilliantly located for York and north East Yorkshire. The barn is dog friendly and the woods and garden were ideal for our dog along with local walks around the village. There is so much to do in the local area. Castle Howard is nearby and York is a short drive or bus journey from the village. There are plenty of good local pubs including one in the village.

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.

Beautiful barn and a fantastic weekend away
I found the barn online and planned to take my fiancé away with our closest friends and surprise him on his 30th birthday. The barn was the perfect location, none of us wanted to leave on the last day. The owner Cyntra couldn’t do enough for us, even filled the ice tray and baked a cake for the birthday boy. The barn is finished to the highest standard and is a perfect location to hop on a bus into the centre of york, which we did on the Saturday. We ate in the local pub on the Friday night, great food and atmosphere the chef even came out to greet us and say happy birthday! Loved our stay would definitely return, an absolute must if you’re thinking of getting away to york but maybe don’t want to be in the centre of it all. Thank you once again Cyntra x

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.
