You couldn’t get much more of a picturesque rural retreat than this traditional yet contemporary barn conversion set in the sweeping landscape of Norfolk. And with some of East Anglia’s finest coastal walks within a 15-mile radius, your canine travel companions will love you for choosing this place.

Step into this classic barn conversion, with light modern design and period features in equal measure. First, the impressive hallway, with floor-to-ceiling windows letting in all the light and atmosphere of the surrounding fields. Then, head into the open-plan living space, a bright and calming area to chill out. There’s a comfy lounge area, a central dining space and a chic kitchen with everything you need for self-catering. Bi-fold doors lead out to the enclosed patio and shared lawn. Then, head upstairs to your lovely bedrooms - one double and one twin - each dressed in natural tones and with stunning views out over the landscape. Plus, both bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite bathroom, so zero queues in the morning. Dogs must be kept on a lead when walking around the working farm due to many species of rare ground nesting birds in the area. 

This area of East Anglia is a dream for walkers, bikers, and dreamers alike. Country walks abound from your doorstep or you could take a scenic drive through Norfolk’s pretty villages to the coast. There’s a wealth of beaches along this stretch, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - that includes the quaint local favourite, Wells-next-the-Sea, with its charming port and stunning sandy beach making it the ideal haunt for dogs who love the salty air in their fur.

We had a lovely week in this beautiful barn. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and really comfortable, a great place to go back to after a day exploring. The owners had thought of everything to make for an enjoyable stay. The wildlife in the garden and fields beyond was fantastic, with a wide range of birds that included a green woodpeckeRead morer. The property is well located for visiting many of the attractions in North Norfolk. Highly recommended! Hide

A lovely and thoughtful barn conversion giving us plenty of space. Lovely and quiet which meant there was a variety of birds around and about.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location, if peace and quiet are what you're looking for, look no further. Plenty of wildlife on the doorstep, including deer,partridges,pheasants,hares and lots of different small birds. Great base from which to explore the North Norfolk coast. Very comfortable and well equipped. Would highly recommend.

I took my friend on her first ever visit to Norfolk. The Barn is perfectly situated for visiting many of the gems of North Norfolk. We managed Sandringham, Wells, Holkham, Holt, the Broads, Cromer, Langham Glass at Fakenham and Seal spotting by boat off Blakeney Point as well as the Pensthorpe Water Park just across the road! We spotted hares in thRead moree garden and deer in one of the fields. A truly wonderful place. Hide

We loved every minute of our stay in Alethorpe Barn, so much so, we are booked to come back next year. We were very lucky with the weather, but had we not been, the barn was located in such a peaceful and beautiful location, that it was just perfect for us regardless. The barn is off a main road, but set back enough to not hear this at all. This doRead morees mean that you can get around Norfolk very well from here. 30 mins from wells next the sea and Holkham meant we could enjoy the beach everyday! Hide
