Had a very enjoyable week at Curlew Barn. Peaceful and it was a pleasure to see the wildlife outside the windows.

A beautiful barn in a very peaceful location with a private garden well secure for dogs . The barn has a very well equipped kitchen and everything was spotlessly clean. The upstairs bedrooms are large but for us the beds were a little uncomfortable as my husband is 6’4 and the beds have frames. There is one of the biggest baths I’ve ever seen in one bedroom and a huge shower in the other . We spent the mornings watching the family of deer and the squirrels in the garden . Plenty of places to eat and takeaways a couple of miles away in both directions .
