Property code: OC-2173

This beautifully converted barn is brimming with character and high-quality furnishings, providing a comfortable and welcoming retreat for families and groups of friends. Surrounded by wildlife, it’s set in the quiet village of Shereford, and makes an ideal base for trips to sandy beaches, seaside towns, stately homes and nature reserves.

A high-ceiling criss-crossed by old beams gives the open-plan living space of this lovely holiday property enormous character and a feeling of airy space. Create tasty meals in the kitchen, which is equipped with a range cooker, linger over them at the wooden dining table and then relax in the lounge area, where comfortable sofas surround a Smart TV. At bedtime, you’ll find two of the three bedrooms on the ground floor - a twin with a pair of 2' 6" single beds plus an en-suite bathroom, and a double with a gorgeous exposed-flint wall. Up on the first floor, tucked under sloping ceilings with more exposed beams, is another double bedroom with a Smart TV. The two double rooms share the use of a lovely shower room on the ground floor. The courtyard outside is complemented by a covered seating area in the corner of another barn - just the spot for a morning coffee or some pre-dinner drinks.

Shereford is 3 miles from the market town of Fakenham, renowned for its weekly market, and just 11.5 miles from lovely Wells-next-the-Sea and the North Norfolk coast, much of which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sculthorpe, 3 miles, has a fenland nature reserve - a super place to observe a wide variety of bird and wildlife. The Georgian town of Burnham Market, 11.5 miles, is a popular village to visit; on the way, drive through North Creake and explore the abbey ruins.

  • 3 bedrooms – 2 double bedrooms and 1 twin bedroom with 2' 6" single beds

Loved the location and the property had everything we needed. Loved the quiet surroundings. Things that could be improved: The downstairs double bed was extremely creaky/squeaky so we didnt sleep that well The TV turned itself off and on again at very regular intervals There were quite a few flies and not much fly spray which ran out quickly

Our stay at The Hayloft was very enjoyable and family friendly. It is in a very convenient location to visit places like Blakeney where the children loved crabbing, Holkham Hall was another lovely find, as well as Sandringham. The town of Holt was good for shopping, especially the department store of Bakers and Larners who stocked plenty of prepaRead morered meals to choose from. Lots of good eating places, although it was lovely being able to sit out in the evening at The Hayloft. We certainly would love to return some time. Hide
