"We've had the best weeks' stay in your barn. Enjoyed walks, cycling and boating. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed". - Sarah Lenton

Nestled in Surlingham, this superb single-storey barn offers an idyllic retreat near the stunning Norfolk Broads but is just 7.5 miles from the vibrant city of Norwich. Sleeping four across two peaceful bedrooms, it's the perfect getaway for couples or a small family. Take a leisurely stroll to the nearby River Yare or explore Wheatfen Broad (both 1 mile), a haven for wildlife, then head home and whip up a delicious meal to eat alfresco on the patio in the courtyard garden.

Step inside this barn conversion and be greeted by the beautiful open-plan living area. Exposed brickwork, high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams make this the ideal place to relax. Curl up on the comfortable sofas and watch TV or open the sliding doors to the garden on sunny days and dive into your favourite book. The contemporary kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm, and the dining table makes for sociable meals when it’s too chilly to eat outside in the courtyard garden. Indulge in a sumptuous bubble bath in the free-standing roll-top bath in the family bathroom or refresh with a shower in the separate shower room before bed. Retire to the tranquil bedrooms that have a calming, neutral decor and exposed beams for a restful night’s sleep.

Explore the stunning waterways of the Norfolk Broads; head to Brundall Marina (12 miles) and hire a day boat or embark on scenic walks along the riverbanks. Immerse yourself in Norwich's rich history and culture with its iconic cathedral, imposing castle and varied shopping scene. Book a performance at the Puppet Theatre (8.5 miles) to watch your little ones delight in the stories told there, or for a true family day out, visit BeWILDerwood (17.5 miles) where you can go on a boat ride, build dens and roam through jungle bridges.

We highly recommend this property, which was very comfortable (lounge settees and beds). The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need to prepare and cook a family dinner. The location was about 5 minutes drive from two excellent pub restaurants. The property was very peaceful and had an area outside with table and chairs.

These renovated Stables were done with such good taste. The layout was excellent. Bedrooms at either end of building gave you space and privacy. One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in.

We had a lovely week at the converted stables. Surlingham is a good base, we visited Beccles, Wroxham, Stalham, Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Potter Heigham. The stables is light and airy with plenty of parking and there is even a vineyard in the village. We bought some of their red wine to bring home. It should be noted that both of the holiday homeRead mores are on the perimeter of a working farm Hide
