  • Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this peaceful property in the heart of the Broads

Property code: OC-1995

This chic barn conversion sits within The Broads National Park in the quiet village of Runham. It’s the ideal holiday getaway for a small family plus two dogs wanting countryside walks, bicycle routes, and easy access to the coastline.

This end-of-terrace property dates back to the 1880’s but inside the rooms are thoroughly modern with the living space located upstairs so you can benefit from the countryside views. On the ground floor, you’ll find the two bedrooms featuring a super-king bed and a twin zip-and-link bed. Both rooms are wonderfully serene with cool tones, chic décor, and plenty of natural light. From the ground floor, stairs sweep up to the first floor and the spacious living area. Wooden beams, warm tones, and sumptuous sofas make it a comfortable space and there’s even a Chesterfield dog bed so your pup can snooze in style in front of the wood burner. When it’s time to eat, there’s an elegant dining table that overlooks the garden while the separate kitchen has every appliance you’ll need for a comfortable stay. Outside, enjoy a morning coffee in the rear courtyard or take it easy in the front garden with its table and chairs.

Enjoy countryside walks from the doorstep or pull on your hiking boots and jump on the Weavers’ Way footpath that runs for 61 miles from Great Yarmouth to Cromer. Keen cyclists can also spend the day exploring the 23-mile Broads Explorer loop. The beautiful sandy beach at Winterton-on-Sea (6 miles) is worth a visit while at Horsey (11 miles) you can watch the seals frolicking in the water.

Cleanliness was exceptional and I have very high standards! Extremely well equipped, furnished to a high standard even a Chesterfield dog bed! Everything needed including a very generous welcome pack comfortably enough for a weekend stay. Very comfortable quality furnishings, comfortable beds - fussy pillow person was very impressed! Lovely locatioRead moren with a very well kitted out garden for relaxing, brilliant parking, beautiful walks very nearby for our dog. Short drive to coast and good restaurants. Owners definitely thought of everything needed for a top class stay even down to an "honesty" cabinet for souvenirs/additional goodies which was so helpful for purchasing a gift for our neighbour. Would highly recommend and will book again. Hide

Gorgeous property with stunning interior kitted out with everything you could need. Beautiful local walks through fields. The main issue is the floors are exceptionally creaky and as the bedrooms are downstairs if anyone walks upstairs it is very, very loud banging.

Lovely quiet place to stay. Feels like its in the middle of no where but that's what we wanted. The barn is great, with wooden beams and well presented, the floors are quite creaky but that was not a big issue for us. Nice welcome pack, milk and bread provided was a nice touch.

The property was in very good condition as was all the facilities. The downside for us was it was remote which we did not pick up on when booking.

Chestnut barn is in a great location for visiting the Broads and has nice local walk from the property which is great for dog walks. The property is comfortable, spacious and very well equipped. Pub in neighbouring village (The Ferry Inn at Stokesby) is good and also has a good deli/cake/chocolate shop.

We enjoyed our stay at Chestnut barn. It's in a lovely rural location and has some great pubs a short drive away. Barn was clean and had plenty of appliances/crockery etc if you wanted to cook. A welcome pack when we arrived with some tasty treats was a nice touch. We would recommend and would definitely stay again.
