Luxury Holiday Home Surrounded by Woodland
Mutton Barn is tucked away on Alne Hills in Great Alne, surrounded by ancient woodland and Warwickshire countryside. From the moment you turn off the lane and wind your way up the hill, you feel the rest of the world slip away. There are no neighbours peering over the fence, no passing traffic, and no light pollution – just big skies, birdsong and the gentle rustle of the trees.
Secluded, Yet Surprisingly Accessible
Although it feels wonderfully remote, Mutton Barn sits in an elevated position just a few miles from Alcester, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick. You can spend your days exploring Shakespeare’s England, then retreat to your own private eco-barn high above the fields. It’s a rare balance: total privacy and peace, without sacrificing great pubs, farm shops and historic towns close by.
Off-Grid Eco Home in the Heart of England Forest
The barn is an off-grid eco home, designed to sit peacefully in its landscape in the “Heart of England Forest”. Step outside and you’re immediately immersed in nature. The garden gate opens straight onto the Heart of England Way and the Arden Way, so you can walk for miles from the door without seeing a road. It’s ideal for guests who want to switch off, slow down and simply wander.
Space to Breathe, Inside and Out
Set in its own large, fully enclosed garden, Mutton Barn gives you the kind of space that’s hard to find. Children can race around the lawn, dogs can explore safely, and grown-ups can claim a quiet corner with a book and a glass of something cold. The elevated setting means panoramic views are in every direction – sunrises over misty fields, golden hour on the hills, and star-filled skies at night.
On the terrace, the wood-fired hot tub and BBQ make the most of the setting. Soak under the stars, watch buzzards circling above, or listen for the soft call of the resident barn owls at dusk. It’s the sort of place where evenings stretch out, conversations linger, and there’s nowhere else you need to be.
A Haven for Walkers, Wildlife Lovers and Dogs
If you love the countryside, this location is a treat. You can follow waymarked trails straight from the gate, weave through woodland and farmland, and often share your walk with muntjac deer (Gary and Mary make regular appearances), buzzards and weasels. We’re dog-friendly, with direct access to 125 miles of footpaths, so every day can be a new adventure without ever getting in the car.
Your Own Private Retreat
Above all, the private rural setting of Mutton Barn gives you the freedom to truly relax. Whether you’re gathering as a family, celebrating with friends or simply escaping for a few quiet days, this is a place where you can close the gate, breathe in the fresh air and feel completely at home in your own corner of the countryside.
