Escape to Stibbard in the heart of the Norfolk countryside and enjoy the serenity of this exquisite barn conversion, 4 miles from Fakenham. Sleeping four guests, and also welcoming two happy holiday hounds, this two-bedroom property is in a perfect position for reaching the north Norfolk coast, visiting stately homes and family attractions and even planning a day out to Norwich.

Step inside the single-storey barn to discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a vaulted ceiling and New England-style appeal. Relax in here after days out in the countryside or at the beach; light the wood burner to add to the cosy ambience and find your favourite programme on the Smart TV. Wander over to the kitchen area to prepare dinner or to make a cup of fresh coffee with the machine. Pull a chair up to the table to dine together or to chat about your plans for tomorrow. As the day draws to a close, make your way into either the king-size or the double bedroom, each with a set of doors on to the garden. Find the family bathroom has an elegant, clawfoot bath, as well as a walk-in shower and WC. Fire up the BBQ on balmy evenings and dine outside in the sunshine of the courtyard. There is off-road parking for two cars with the barn.

Plan trips out to see the birds and other animals at Pensthorpe Wildlife Park, 2.5 miles away, and to the seaside at Wells-next-the-Sea, 13.5 miles away. Here you can spend time on the wide, sandy beach, swim in the sea and catch the light railway to Walsingham. Drive 21 miles into vibrant Norwich to wander its cobbled streets and lanes, dine out in its many cafes and restaurants and visit historic locations, such as the castle, cathedral, and several museums.

Very quiet and peaceful place. Just perfect to relax in the garden and hear almost nothing, which is good for me, to unwind from work. The wife and daughter was impressed with the fizz and gifts. The dogs were quiet, so a 5 stars from them. Perfect place to view Norfolk. 100% be back in future. Oh yes must try the burgers from THE FAT COW. A happy Read morefamily Hide

A beautiful barn conversion in a quiet and peaceful location. Perfectly situated for trips to the north Norfolk coast. Lisa and Richard are lovely, friendly hosts and the welcome gift of a bottle of bubbly and a cake sure beats a pint of milk and a couple of scones!

Lisa and the rest of the family were welcoming, friendly and helpful but not intrusive but always on hand if required. Their home grown apple juice was a nice gift as well as the cake and wine and we even purchased more juice to take home.
