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.

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.
