Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mrs Cyntra Hinde
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.
