Yew Tree Barn

Yew Tree Barn is a restored barn tucked up a lane by Yew Tree Farm, with a woodburning stove for cosy evenings after long walks across the Polesden Lacey estate.  

On the ground floor you’ll find the master bedroom with the shower room across the hall. Double sinks are set in a large piece of yew, salvaged from the estate when an enormous tree was lost in a storm. A steep staircase leads up to an open-plan space with a dining kitchen and sitting area. 

A door from the kitchen leads down steep stairs into the small, enclosed garden, with a lawn and small dining patio. There's an electric car charging point.

There’s lots to discover on the Polesden Lacey Estate, with walks, bridleways and waymarked trails through woodland and over rolling hills. You’ll have free entry to the mansion and garden, and there’s also a shop and a café. The estate offers a diverse range of places for wildlife to live and is home to many species of bat. You’ll see a bat box on the back wall of the barn and there are more in the trees. Ranmore Common, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is close by and home to an abundance of birdlife, including buzzards and hobbies. 

The nearest village, Great Bookham, is a couple of miles away. 

Children: The cottage is unsuitable for children that can walk/crawl due to very steep staircases but would be fine for a baby. 

Heating: Air source heating is included and there is a wood burning stove.

WiFi: We’re pleased to provide free WiFi access at this accommodation which is supported by BT. Please note intermittent connection problems can sometimes occur and therefore should not be relied upon.

Note: Please be aware that Yew Tree Barn is located at the end of a long unmade track with potholes. The road is regularly used by farm traffic and horse riders so is uneven and unsuitable for vehicles with low ground clearance.

Please be aware that there is an induction hob at this cottage. Guests with pacemakers are advised to check with their doctor to ensure there will be no interference with their pacemaker. Guests with pacemakers are also advised to keep a distance of at least 60cm (2ft) from the hob when cooking.

Parking and EV charging: There is parking at the front of the cottage for two cars with an electric charging point.

Garden: ​There is a small lawned garden enclosed with a fence and a small patio with an outdoor dining set.

Offers: Guests will benefit from a late Sunday checkout of 4pm.
