Property code: OC-2147

This stylish abode offers a great base from which to escape everyday life and explore Norfolk's rich and varied landscape. Bring six loved ones and two canine companions with you to begin a holiday you'll never forget.

This lovingly restored former barn is now an impressive holiday home boasting character and giving the nod to the building's heritage. The spacious lounge/kitchen/diner is the home hub, providing ample room to share laughs, catch up with old friends and enjoy quality time as a group. Unwind under a vaulted ceiling while catching up on a good film, or dance to music via the Echo Dot sound system. Your head chef will enjoy rustling up dinner made in the well-appointed kitchen, which includes a double electric oven for those bigger meals and a washing machine for running through damp swimming costumes. Let the outside in by throwing open the French doors to the patio area, where you indulge in alfresco dining with the backdrop of luscious green countryside. You'll find a spacious double room with an en-suite along the hallway, while the other ground-floor room presents lovely twin beds. On the mezzanine floor, a further bedroom boasts two single beds.

Those searching for walking, cycling and exploring the countryside are in for a real treat! Beyond the enclosed garden sits a handy bridle path which takes avid ramblers and cyclists on an adventure through picturesque woodland and charming greenery. You may even spot hares, deer and birds of prey, too. For a unique shopping experience, Attleborough (5 miles) and Wymondham (10 miles) boast independent boutiques and eateries within their historic buildings. Alternatively, jump on the train from Attleborough and make the 20-mile journey to the thriving city of Norwich. Younger members of the group may like to seek out Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure (17 miles) to discover dinos hiding in the woods, dig around in the indoor play ball pit or get wet at the Dippy Splash Zone.

Lovely location where you genuinely feel away from it all, but within 15 minutes drive of good pubs! Mike and Kate are lovely hosts, couldn't be more helpful, fixing our bikes, helping with the BBQ, etc etc. Very relaxing holiday.

Beautiful barn towards the end of a private road surrounded by fields. Mike and Kate were great hosts. They live next door to the barn, but leave you completely to your own devices unless you need something from them to which they are more than helpful. Highly recommend this holiday home.

A great property, real home from home, but the approaching lane is really potholed (worse in winter when we were there Im sure). Very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Owners lovely and welcoming.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Lays Barn. Perfect for enjoying the peace and quiet of the rural location whilst also within a relatively short car ride to surrounding towns, villages and the city of Norwich. Lovely owners, very friendly and welcoming.
