Longbarrow Windmill, Moles Lane, North Whilborough - Sleeps 2-4
Stay for a long or short break in our beautiful restored windmill tower, set in the picturesque Devon countryside, four miles inland from the beaches of Torbay, between the South Hams, Dartmoor and the sea.
Self catering accommodation
Inside
There are three cosy rooms and a bathroom. The full central-heating will keep you as snug as you like.
The accommodation is mainly geared to adult couples, but there is a sofa-bed in the main living room.
The conversion is recent, and furnishings have been adapted to the circular layout. There are easy-clean maple floors and a good deal of oak and teak. The picturesque spiral stairs conform to building regulations, however they are not very suitable for small children or invalids.
No smoking and no dogs please, due to fire insurance and farmer's rules.
Downstairs: A main three-aspect living room with excellent cooking facilities.
First floor: Double bedroom with a Victorian bed, with double-sprung mattress and goosedown duvet etc.
Second floor: Large bathroom with shower and bath.
Viewing loft: or "Miller's Eye" is reached by an authentic space-saver stair, and has splendid all-round views towards Torbay, the sea, the South Hams and Dartmoor. Borrow our binoculars to spy on 400 square miles of countryside and the local local farming and wild life.
Outside
There is a lawned area. Part of the original cobbled level is now arranged for seating. The ground abutts directly onto the surrounding five-acre field which is actively farmed. At the field gate from Moles Lane there is a sunken car-parking area. At some times of the year, there is room for a tent by special arrangement.
