One of a small collection of luxury barns on the site of a former Benedictine priory, this three-bedroomed abode is full of quirky features and offers fantastic Fenland views. Enjoy beautiful waterside walks, explore historic market towns, and then relax in your own private hot tub; pampering treatments and dog-sitting services are available to enhance your holiday experience.
Once a home for crops and livestock, this cluster of five tastefully converted barns now offers a lap-of-luxury break for a party of six and two four-pawed loved ones. Everyone will have a ball here; the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is a sociable space full of every creature comfort and offers far-reaching views of the fields beyond. Cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen to one end; a breakfast bar links to the dining area where you can indulge in drawn-out meals while the dogs look out for any leftovers. Afterwards, stretch out on the sofas and stream a movie on the Smart TV. A cloakroom/utility completes the ground floor. Settle the dogs then take the stairs to a choice of three stylish bedrooms. One of the two king-size rooms comes with its own en-suite, while the third has twin beds. The family bathroom is spacious and boasts a roll-top bath. Enjoy starry nightscapes and Norfolk’s big skies from the wrap-around courtyard that’s accessed from the lounge area’s patio doors. Fire up the BBQ for an al fresco feast then for the ultimate luxe experience, lie back in the hot tub while the dogs sleep off their sausage supper.
Recharge your batteries by booking a pamper session in the on-site beauty centre or enjoy a gentle nature walk; the barn is located next to an aqueduct where the Well Creek canal crosses the Middle Level river and deer are often seen in the fields close by. Just 1.5 miles away, the waterside villages of Outwell and Upwell offer a range of local shops, restaurants and inns, while 11 miles away, Welney is home to a wildlife-rich nature reserve. Only assistance dogs are allowed to visit, but you can book dog-sitting services back at your holiday home if this Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust site is on your to-do list. Considered one of the most perfect medieval towns in England, King’s Lynn and its historic port area are 19 miles away; 8 miles further, Sandringham has nearly 243 acres of parkland for pups to explore.
