A wonderful stay in a beautifully presented Norfolk barn We had a fantastic stay at this Norfolk barn. The owner has clearly put a great deal of thought and care into making sure everything is just right for guests. The property is decorated to a high standard throughout, and everything from kitchenware to appliances was in excellent, as-new cRead moreondition. The bedrooms were very comfortable, with quality bed linen and furnishings that made it feel like a boutique stay. The garden was also beautifully kept and a lovely place to relax. The barn is in a peaceful rural setting, ideal for walking straight from the door, and yet still only about 20 minutes from the coast. The owner was incredibly helpful, providing us with a range of recommendations for local pubs, cafes, and restaurants all of which were spot on. Truly dog friendly. We couldnt have asked for more and would happily return. Highly recommended. Hide

Beautifully decorated, nice garden and covered parking for the car which was nice. Location is perfect - not too far from 'civilisation' but it feels like it.
