When you stay at Crookstone Barn we transport all your luggage in our trusty Land Rover, leaving you to enjoy the walk and and savour the views
Crookstone Barn is three miles from the nearest road which means a lot to carry up the 800 feet of ascent to get there. That’s why we meet you in Hope and transfer all of your bags, food, drink, bedding etc into our Land Rover and drive it up the, at times, steep and bumpy track to the barn. And the best bit is that one of your party gets to experience the ride too! Of course, at the end of your stay we’ll bring it all back down again. It really does make a stay at the barn feel just that bit more memorable.
