A 50 year apprenticeship and 500 year old oak

Crotlieve barn was a labour of love.

"​I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH WOOD SINCE I WAS 15 YEARS OLD.
The barn was my workshop. renovations started in 2008 USING NATURAL MATERIALS AND TRADITIONAL SKILLS to transform the building into the character filled eco-conversion it is today, nestled in 3 acres of gardens filled with trees i grew from the seed collected from Rostrevor's ancient trees." 

- Paul clerkin, creator
of crotlieve barn
