  • Countryside barn conversion for two, just 2 miles from the Broads
  • Wonderful master bedroom with super-king-size bed and countryside views
  • Spacious garden with outdoor lounge suite
Property code: OC-1956

This single-level retreat for two, in a peaceful countryside location, has a wonderful garden area with space undercover as well as a lush lawn where you can enjoy some rest and relaxation whatever the time of year. Norwich lies just 12 miles away for a taste of city life, with a great array of eateries, as well as plenty of historic interest with its 900-year-old castle, Norman cathedral and ancient city walls.

This gorgeous barn conversion is the perfect place for a tranquil retreat. Enjoy the open-plan living space as you step inside, with a leather sofa in the lounge area situated in front of the TV for cosy evenings in. A table seating four offers a place for romantic meals or time spent getting competitive with a board game or two, whilst the kitchen has a vibrant feature wall that is sure to have you feeling inspired whilst cooking up a storm. The bedroom boasts a king-size bed and a TV, decorated in calming pastel tones to ensure a restful night’s sleep. A walk-in wet room completes the layout with a spacious shower and a pop of colour on the walls. Outside, the enclosed garden is furnished with a table and comfortable chairs, as well as an outdoor wood burner for cool evenings and is surrounded by a lush green lawn.

Sisland is a small, peaceful hamlet that offers the peace and tranquillity of rural living whilst being within easy reach of the numerous attractions that Norfolk and Suffolk have to offer. For a romantic adventure, head to Beccles (9 miles) and hop aboard a scenic boat tour along the River Waveney, or embark on one of the many walking trails beside the river for something more active. The Broads National Park offers a further selection of walking trails and waterways spanning 125 miles in total, including Weavers’ Way and Angles Way, both of which can be joined at Great Yarmouth (17 miles). Great Yarmouth itself is also a fantastic, nostalgic seaside destination with amusements, 15 miles of sandy shore and two picturesque piers.

12 out of 10 for Owl Barn, a lovely location and a comfy, modern and large holiday home with everything for us adults and our dog. Friendly owners on hand if we needed anything and a thoughtful welcome pack. One of the best we've been to and we've been to a lot.

Owl Barn was spotlessly clean, obviously well maintained and well equipped. The hosts, Lesley and Jane gave us a warm welcome on arrival, plus providing welcome packs for dogs and humans - gratefully received. The garden was secure for our two young German Shepherd dogs and, because they are long haired, a fan had been provided to help keep them coRead moreol in this summer weather. The location was peaceful and tranquil, yet plenty of information was available for outings, walks etc and our hosts were happy to provide further information about the local area. Although they have another dog friendly cottage, great effort is made to ensure privacy. Highly recommended. We will return. Hide

The cottage was brilliant. It had everything that you needed, and for two dogs as well. It was very spacious and so easy. My wife has already commented that she would like to come back to Owl Cottage - it made life that easy! It's also in a brilliant, quiet, beautiful location and within a short distance of so many great places to visit.

This is a beautiful, very spacious property and is probably one of the best equipped that we've ever stayed at. The owners have been incredibly thoughtful in setting up the place providing, for example, a special outside bin for dog waste, an enclosed garden that's safe for the dog to roam, a doggy welcome pack (plus some human welcome goods too!)Read more, dog towel plus plenty of information about the place and the area. They are available but not intrusive at all and are clearly dog lovers. Sisland is a tiny hamlet and the barn is surrounded by fields and farmland (plus an amazing old church) so it is very peaceful and there are some lovely walks from the barn. Shops are a five minute drive away and there are plenty of places to visit nearby. We rarely return to the same place twice, but intend returning here. Hide
