  • Perfect for country walks, stately home visits and day trips to sandy beaches
Property code: OC-2005

This barn conversion and annexe offers stunning contemporary spaces accommodating up to ten guests, with all five bedrooms having en-suite facilities which only adds to the wow factor. The open-plan living area within the barn has a wood burner for those cooler evenings and a quiet seating area overlooking the lake. The detached annexe which is accessed just across the patio offers the perfect space to escape the hustle and bustle of the barn and provides comfortable seating to sit and unwind with a cuppa whilst taking in the beautiful view.

This single-storey holiday home has tiled floors and exposed wooden beams that add plenty of character. The open-plan sitting area has comfortable seating and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The kitchen has everything you need to create masterpieces for your large group and there’s a sitting area to watch over the lake before dinner is served at the dining table. Four of the bedrooms are found in the barn; they are all en-suite super-king-size rooms with TVs. All the beds can be converted to twins upon request and the es-suites comprise three showers and one with a bath and shower cubicle. Over in the annexe, the fifth bedroom awaits. This is also an en-suite super-king-size that can be made up as a twin upon request. This room is served by a shower room, a TV and tea and coffee facilities. The garden features a fully enclosed lawn and a private patio with garden furniture and a BBQ; the glass screen keeps little ones away from the lake so you can still enjoy the view. There is a shared games room with table tennis, a pool table, air hockey and table football and, lastly, there is an outside play area with a climbing frame with swings and slides, a boules court, a picnic table and a bench.

Briston is a large village located within North Norfolk just 4 miles inland from the Georgian town of Holt. There is a pub, two shops, a bakery and a butcher. It’s a great location from which to explore all North Norfolk has to offer. Holt has a lovely range of local shops, a small independent supermarket, plenty of tea rooms, and restaurants offering locally sourced produce. Catch a steam or diesel train along the Poppy Line, a coastal track which visits Weybourne (9 miles) and Sheringham (12 miles). Many of the most wonderful beaches are within a short drive of the barn, go to Wells-next-the-Sea (14 miles) and walk along the quay or visit the vast sandy beach. The popular seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer (15 miles) make for a great day out for all the family, each having a golf course too!

February 2024 we were looking for a weekend away for my girlfriends birthday, 9 of us going (inc 2 children and baby). Roe Deer Barn looked really nice, ticked all our boxes and as it's dog friendly we brought him along too. Plenty of communication from the website we booked it through before we arrived and also the owners Tim and Rachel who were kRead moreind enough to allow us to check in 2hrs early. As I didn't know the area Rachel and Tim were able to help me in getting some bits sorted for Birthday celebrations, I needed helium balloons and a nice place to eat, The Hunworth Bell was recommended and it was just lovely. When we arrived the house was spotless and nice & warm. On the kitchen worktop was a basket with some nibbles, tea, coffee and sugar. Next to that to our suprise was a cake tin with a beautiful freshly baked Victoria sponge inside. In the fridge was a bottle of milk and also a bottle of bubbles. All of that was a lovely suprise, the difficulty now, deciding whether to have tea & cake or bubbles after our drive. Lol. We explored the barn and we literally had everything we needed, slippers were even provided which was another nice touch. We decided to stay in the annex bedroom as we have a new born that still gets up during the night for a feed and likes to let people know he's awake too. Tea and coffee making facilities were also provided in the annex. There is underfloor heating throughout which is so nice underfoot, also provided was wood for the wood burner. Tim and Rachel popped by after we arrived to make sure we were ok and had everything we needed. There was plenty of room to cook for 9 people, we had Fajitas Friday night and the hot plate was great for keeping the food warm. The games room is really good and well equipped to keep kids entertained if the weather isn't great. There are also board games, cards and plenty of DVDs if you fancy watching a film in fromt of the fire. We had a day out to the Roarr Dinosaur Park in Lenwade which was good. For us there were only 2 things we felt could be improved, 1) very little, if any, wifi signal in the annex bedroom. 2) a baby / travel cot is not provided. That said it wasnt the end of the world and do not let those 2 things put you off going, we all had such an amazing time and wouldn't hesitate to return to Roe Deer Barn. Thank you Tim and Rachel for a lovely stay. Hide

We had a lovely time here with all the family. Its a great property for families as all bedrooms are equally as good and private as each other. The Barn was spacious and beautifully decorated. The equipment in the kitchen was fantastic, everything you could think of and the WIFI very reliable. It was nice and warm and cosy for a winters break. Read moreWe loved the finishing touches such as slippers and wine etc on arrival and the cake was one of the best we had tasted, that was the first to go. Having the annex for us was just perfect with a new born baby . The new little family could have their own space without worrying about waking anyone else up. The games room and outdoor facilities would be great in the summer and spring. We had a issue with the fridge but the owners came out immediately to sort, they were really nice and available for anything you needed. We would definitely return and have already recommend to others. Hide

We had an amazing time at Roe Deer Farm - The set up was perfect for us - each with our own rooms with ensuites but with a lovely warm, welcoming and perfectly sized living area - perfect for our family Christmas.

The beds are really comfortable and the cleanliness was excellent. The barn was beautifully decorated for Christmas as well.

Roe Deer Barn is a wonderful place for families to get together. The layout has been thought through meaning whilst the family are all together they can still be in separate areas doing their own thing. Our stay was absolutely wonderful with lots of space for everyone.
