Whisk your special person off to this gorgeous barn set in the Norfolk countryside yet within easy reach of Norwich. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom hideaway is situated on the fringes of the village of Dunston, 5 miles from the historic city. Exquisitely styled, and with a covered veranda as well as a lawned garden, this is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, especially for couples wishing to bring a four-legged friend.

Step inside the single-storey barn to discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a vaulted and beamed ceiling at his heart. Return from your trips out to relax in here in front of the Smart TV, catching up on your favourite boxsets perhaps, or to take turns at preparing delicious dinners for two in the kitchen area. This stylish space has everything you need to help you whip up tasty dishes with the fresh Norfolk produce you have bought from farm shops and markets. There is a separate WC as well as access to your sumptuous king-size bedroom with its en-suite shower room. Spend relaxing sunny afternoons out in your private garden and evenings gazing up at the starry skies over a bottle of wine. Those who enjoy a knockabout might also like to play tennis on the shared court.

Discover plenty of country walks right from your doorstep. Dunston Common, with its bluebell woods, is just over 0.5 miles away. Make your way into Norwich to explore the Lanes, a series of cobbled streets with independent shops and eateries. Enjoy the city’s ancient market, as well as its high street shopping areas and centres and its many leisure facilities. Take time out to see the castle and cathedral while you are here too. Venture 5 miles to Whitlingham Country Park and the start of the Norfolk Broads.

A lovely peaceful setting, comfortable accommodation and very helpful hosts. We had a warm and as we were arriving in the night, they left the outside light on for us. We enjoyed seeing deer, pheasants, and other animals enjoying the garden. We were lucky enough to see a kingfisher too. The paddock was great for our dog to run free in the morninRead moregs. The common and woods are nearby and great for exploring. The welcome pack was much appreciated and the hosts even provided extra towels for our dog. It's all on one level so those with mobility issues will find it comfortable. I am recommending this to my friends and family. We are planning our next stay in the next few months. Hide

A lovely cottage in a picturesque location. The garden was fantastic - need more photos to do it justice, especially the views from the French doors and the kitchen window. The cottage was modern and well-equipped. The dogs loved watching the squirrels in the garden! The welcome pack was a welcome touch after a long 7hr drive!

Lovely welcome pack, very thoughtful. Location was great. The garden and paddock was lovely for our dog. The kitchen was well equipped and the washing machine and dishwasher was a bonus.The bed was sooo comfy, we slept really well. We would love to book again, if only to get a good night's sleep.

This is a comfortable cottage with a lovely garden. There is access to an enclosed field for dogs to have a run around, which was really useful. Visitors can also use the tennis court. The accommodation was clean and well equipped and we were left a lovely welcome pack.

Holly Barn is an absolute gorgeous cottage in a stunning location. The garden and surrounding land are lovely and the accompanying wildlife is magical. The hosts were great. It is situated close to amenities and a not far from Norwich and surrounding areas like beaches. Horsey beach is a great spot to see seals.

From the minute we walked into the property we felt at home. The welcome pack was totally unexpected and included more than you would usually expect. The kitchen area is superb and fully equipped. WiFi worked well and the bedroom and ensuite area were clean and very comfortable. Our dog loved the freedom of the attached paddock and there are lotRead mores of dog friendly places to go. Recommend the Marsh Harrier which is about 10 minutes away and where our dog was made welcome in the bar area. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Further afield there is Cromer and Great Yarmouth - both worth a visit. All in all a great week away so highly recommended. Hide

What an excellent place to stay, especially if you have a dog. The hosts were really friendly and helpful. The accommodation provided everything you need and the enclosed paddock was a real bonus. A great location too, with easy access to major routes, that help get anywhere, and close to Norwich if you wish to visit there.
