Property code: OC-GFB2

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!

The Old Dairy was a great find, really comfortable and spacious, plenty of room to spread out and relax. When we arrived Lisa had left us some lovely sweet treats to enjoy including a Gluten Free cake for my son! This location is ideal for visiting the Broads, we booked on line (recommended) a boat trip in nearby Wroxham which was really relaxing,Read more Suggest you book an early trip though as car park fills up quickly and the queues for the boats the later you go. The local pubs are a short walk away and the Patisserie is worth a visit with amazing cakes and pastries. Would highly recommend these cottages/barns and will be back. Hide
