"A really lovely barn conversion in a great location. Two interesting nature reserves within walking distance. National cycle route 1 into Norfolk from the property and lots of nice cycling in the vicinity. Kayak slipway from the next village onto the broads. Two friendly local pubs within a mile or so both on the river bank with lovely views. A really enjoyable holiday. Thank you to the host Lisa who was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this property and location" - Sheila Firth
This delightful barn conversion, situated in the village of Surlingham that’s ideally placed between the Norfolk Broads and the city of Norwich (7.5 miles), offers a comfortable and welcoming retreat for guests. Sleeping four guests over two tranquil bedrooms, this property is a great choice for families or couples looking for a varied holiday. With its spacious interiors boasting high ceilings, original features and a charming courtyard, you’ve got a stunning base to return to after a day out exploring. Stroll down to the picturesque River Yare or venture to the nearby Wheatfen Broad, both within 1 mile, for a peaceful wildlife-watching experience.
The property, which was once a dairy, has a beautiful open-plan style. Curl up on the sofas and watch your favourite show on TV among vaulted ceilings and exposed beams or open the sliding doors to the courtyard garden and relax with a book on the patio. Shining tiles and contemporary equipment in the kitchen make it a breeze to cook up a storm. And you can dine at the farmhouse-style table or head outside for al fresco meals. When it’s time for bed, you’ll get a great night’s sleep in either bedroom where neutral decor and soft lighting await. And in the morning, choose from either a bath or a shower in the family bathroom.
Discover the bustling shops, picturesque, cobbled streets and popular markets in Norwich. Explore the city's architectural gems, including the impressive cathedral and castle, and immerse yourself in its vibrant cultural scene. Hire a boat from Brundall Marina (12 miles) and enjoy leisurely boat trips along the Norfolk Broads or follow the trails at Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden (16.5 miles) or the How Hill Trust (22 miles). Kids will revel in the jungle ropes, boat trips and mazes at BeWILDerwood (17.5 miles) – parents are encouraged to play along too!
