About No 2 Curwens

No 2 Curwens is a stunning 3-bedroom holiday barn in Melbury Abbas, Dorset. This 4-star property sits in the heart of rolling hills and open farmland with footpaths right from your doorstep. Perfect for families or friends who want to escape the rat race without sacrificing comfort. The views are so good you might forget to blink.

The setting is rural bliss with miles of countryside to explore. Shaftesbury is just 5 minutes away, while the Jurassic Coast (a World Heritage site) is within easy reach. Dog owners will love the enclosed garden and paddock - finally somewhere your four-legged pal can run without you having panic attacks about them disappearing. After a day of walking, nothing beats sinking into your private wood-fired hot tub with a favourite drink..

The accommodation sleeps 6 across three bedrooms: a king-size with dormer window, a twin zip-and-link (convertible to super king) and a bunk bedroom - all with TVs because holiday arguments about what to watch are so 1990s. There's a galley kitchen, open-plan lounge/diner with oak flooring and exposed beams, plus two bathrooms including a wet room.

Nearby attractions include Longleat House and Safari Park (great for kids and adults who still think they're kids), Stourhead House, Salisbury Cathedral and Monkey World. All within easy driving distance. The games barn with table tennis and football will keep everyone entertained when British weather does its thing.

No 2 Curwens is ideal for families, couples, or friends seeking quality time together. Previous guests rave about the peaceful location and thoughtful touches. Just don't blame us when you don't want to leave.

We had such a lovely stay at Curwens 2, perfect for exploring Dorset's beautiful countryside. The spot is peaceful, set just off a quiet country lane, which was ideal for relaxing. The enclosed garden with its wood-fired hot tub was a real treatand our dog loved having space to run around freely in the field. The place was spotless and very welcoming. We definitely plan to return - there's so much more to see and do. Thanks for a great break!

The house itself was super cosy, quietand well-equipped - everything we needed for a relaxing break. The location was perfectand Hannah was always quick to reply if we needed anything.

The cottage's location is spot onand it's really well set up. We loved the Wi-Fi, which was great for a few work days. The host was friendly and quick to respond. And with such lovely weather, we enjoyed the outdoor space and that fantastic wood-fired hot tub. Can't wait to come back!
Louise
We had a fantastic time at Curwens n 2! Our family of four plus our dog really enjoyed the stay. The property is in a lovely, quiet area. The house is beautiful, well-decoratedand perfectly equipped. The beds are just excellent and everything was super clean. We loved the sunny terrace with a nice sitting and eating area, plus a large hot tub. The enclosed garden was great for our dog to run around freely. Hannah and Nigel welcomed us warmly and gave us plenty of tips on hiking and biking routes. Thanks a lot!
Megan
We had a fantastic stay at this cottage in a really peaceful location. The buildings on the complex are beautiful and the grounds are so well-kept! The cottage itself was very well-equipped, super clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the bubbles on arrival too. The hot tub was a lovely treat and warmed up pretty quickly! It's close to the market town of Shaftesbury, which has some lovely boutique shops and a nice variety of eateries. We knew it was a journey to the coast when booking, so that was fine. Frank, our cocker spaniel, had a great time as well. Many thanks for a really enjoyable stay!
Clara
We were in need of a relaxing break and this property definitely ticked all the boxes! The tranquillity of the location made it feel like Christmas Day! The cottage was bigger than we expected and is finished to a high standard. Already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to Hannah for being a super host and the fizz was very much welcome.
Emily
What a stunning cottage with glorious views! The photos really don't do it justice at all. The cottage was so well equipped, with stair gates and extra bits for kids which was super helpful. We loved the hot tub for relaxing in the evenings. The personal touches like milk, toilet rolls, hand soap and prosecco were just lovely. Shaftesbury is a beautiful townand Poole or Weymouth is about 50 mins away. The owners were really friendlyand we would definitely recommend it!
