Lynches

Parkham sits within reach of North Devon's best: Westward Ho! beach is 7 miles away with 2 miles of sand, Clovelly's donkey-cobbled streets are nearby, and Bideford's port town sits just down the coast. The Tarka Trail runs through the area for cycling, coastal walks are on the doorstep, and Lundy Island boat trips leave from Bideford. RHS Rosemoor and Docton Mill gardens are close enough for an afternoon visit.

Lynches is a detached longhouse dating from the 17th century, with inglenook fireplaces and period character throughout. Five bedrooms sleep eight: two have zip-and-link super-kingsize beds that can split into singles, two are single rooms (3ft beds), and one further single. Three bathrooms serve the property. The ground floor holds two living rooms (one with woodburner and French doors to the garden, one with Smart TV and entertainment), a kitchen with a full range of appliances for proper cooking, a study with games and books, and a bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, the remaining bedrooms and a family bathroom. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; woodburner fuel is provided. Two cots and two highchairs are available.

The property has lawned gardens and a courtyard garden with furniture, bike storage, and parking for four cars on site. No smoking indoors. It does not accommodate hen or stag parties.
