Nestled away and surrounded by fields and farmland, just outside the popular Yorkshire village of Middleham, Curlew Barn is the perfect destination for guests wanting to enjoy a quiet, romantic break. Only a mile and a half away from the famous horse racing town of Middleham, guests will find many excellent quality local pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance as well as cafes, tea rooms and a convenience store. Steeped in history, Middleham Castle was once the home of Richard III and its remains are a popular attraction for tourists. Also well known for its horse racing links, guests will be able to watch the world class racehorses being ridden through the centre of Middleham and out into ’the gallops’ at the edge of the village. The barn is also close to East Witton, a quiet village with two pubs and from which you can enjoy a pleasant, low level walk to Jervaulx Abbey.
Perfect for couples, Curlew Barn has been renovated to an excellent standard offering top quality accommodation throughout. All on one level, the lounge and kitchen are open plan and have been furnished to a high standard. There is a warm and cosy feel throughout with a wood burner and exposed beams as well as contemporary fixtures and fittings. The double bedroom is full of character with an original exposed stone wall and beams as well as lovely views across the fields beyond. The patio garden offers a great place to sit and enjoy the surroundings and there is ample space to park two cars. With many established public footpaths leading right from the front door, Curlew Barn is a great spot for guests who want to enjoy a walking or cycling holiday. Guests will find many footpaths along the banks of the river which flows just behind Curlew Barn.
Jervaulx Abbey was once a great Cistercian monastery and is certainly worth a visit to explore the history and also to enjoy a spot of lunch in the popular tea rooms. A little further afield but still within walking distance, guests will find footpaths leading up hills and down dales, through natural, unspoilt woodland and open countryside, to many attractive Yorkshire towns and villages situated just a few miles away. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty really does offer some of the most magnificent scenery and stunning views, and should be visited at all times of the year just to appreciate the sheer beauty of the landscape. Guests will find an abundance of top quality local inns and restaurants offering fresh, local produce and comfortable surroundings. The Forbidden Corner is only a few miles away and really must be explored by guests of all ages. This once private folly is now open as an attraction to the public and offers guests a fun filled day out with twists and turns round every corner. A little further afield but still within an hour’s drive, guests will be able to visit popular destinations including Ripon, Aysgarth Falls, York, Thirsk, Northallerton, Hawes, Barnard Castle, Richmond and Durham. Shop 1½ miles, pub ½ mile and restaurant 1½ miles.

Another perfect week in the most comfortable little cottage. It’s so clean it’s like walking into a brand new house each time we visit! Fantastic local walks straight from the door to be explored. Excellent!
Perfect little barn for me my partner and our Labrador. Very clean. The bed so comfy. Welcome pack, log burning stove. Outside seating lovely views, next to the river. Within walking distance of a lovely pub. Lots of lovely walks nearby. Perfect spot to holiday, and explore. Lots of lovely pubs in nearby villages didn’t have to travel far. Thank you.
The cottage was excellent. The host was excellent, but your company is crap

Just returned from a short two night break at beautiful Curlew Barn. Everything as described and pictured. Gillian's friendliness and service were just wonderful - she really wanted to make our stay the best it could be. We felt so relaxed and enjoyed the Riverside walk to Middleham, even in an autumn downpour. The cottage was just the place to relax for the two of us and our dog. Really clean, comfortable, secure and private. Loved every minute.

Curlew Barn is situated in a field a short drive out of Leyburn.
Curlew Barn is situated in a field a short drive out of Leyburn. I stayed during October and it was so warm inside I didn't need the heating on. This place is fantastic for a stay at any time of the year. It's ultra clean, quiet, comfortable and is surrounded by nice countryside. If anything I'd recommend the owners provide instructions for the TV remote, a decent size casserole pot and duck down cushions for the couch. But apart from that, there's very little to criticise. Heated towel rails work well, the shower is powerful and hot, the hot water is hot hot hot and there was plenty of wood, kindling and matches for the wood burner. It's a nice open plan layout with a cozy couch and a simple table for dining. Plenty of glasses, pans, cutlery ad crockery and a washing machine outside in the shed. There's everything you need for a comfortable stay just outside of the Dales. The stunning National Park is only minutes away and the Cover Bridge Inn is but a short walk. If you're there in summer then there's seating and a table outside and the garden is enclosed so if you have a wandering pooch then there's no need to concern yourself with his/her whereabouts. It's value for money and I'd certainly stay again.

Gorgeous cottage in a lovely location, it is immaculately clean and so cosy.The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog and he loved his walk across the field to the Cover Bridge pub where we enjoyed a couple of drinks in the beer garden! I would definitely recommend this cottage and would like to come back in the future.

We booked Curlew Barn after reading other reviews and both the barn and locating were superb. Everything we could wish for and more had been thought of, to make this one of the most relaxing and enjoyable breaks we have had in a long time. The Barn is of an exceptional standard, superbly clean and wonderfully warm. We loved the fact that it was on it's own away from other properties but close to Leyburn where there are some great shops. The enclosed garden was lovely and would be a great place to sit out in finer weather. It would be impossible to fault this place. It's a true gem and we will be booking again.

If you are after complete peace and quiet, a secure and safe garden for your dog and a cosy, clean and comfy cottage - then Curlew Barn fits the bill perfectly.
Totally detached, in its own field and designated path to a bench by the river, it’s a wonderful place to stay and rewind...
Cottage has everything you will need. By far the best equipped of the many we have stayed in over the years and the towels, bedding etc are of high quality.
Two minute drive to Middleton with its castle and pubs and five minute drive to Leyburn for your takeaways, Co-op etc.
Lovely walks for the dog. Leyburn Shawl highly recommended.
The Wireless internet wasn’t working but certainly didn’t spoil our stay.
Gillian the owner was very friendly and helpful.
We had the good fortune of the high temperatures in late August so didn’t need heating but we did think a hot tub located in corner of garden would be a wonderful addition to an already fab cottage!!!!!

We go to Curlew Barn twice a year so you can tell we love it here, lovely walks a short ride away or around the river a the bottom of the garden where you will meet sheep, cattle and as we did this year 3 adorable horses who would come to greet us when we entered the field. Always sad to leave this lovely place.

Had a wonderful, relaxing time in this spotlessly clean, tranquil cottage. Nice garden with great views, hares and owls visit the field in the evening. Loved sitting by the river. Great walks right from the door and lots to see in the area with plenty of places to eat. Nice, thoughtful welcome pack and flowers. Wonderful location to visit the dales.
