Cook a special homemade meal in the bright and cheerful kitchen with plenty of surface space. The bathroom is modern with a shower and WC.

Have an ongoing complaint awaiting resolution- we spent less than 12 hours in the property due to damp and dirty bedding and general musty smell throughout

We really enjoyed our stay at Little Barn. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable and well equipped. The outdoor patio was great for meals and relaxing in the sun. The location was quiet with an abundance of birds. There's lovely walks from the barn with access to the local nature reserve and some broads, rivers and dykes not too far awayRead more. Jan the owner was very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back another time. Hide

The Little Barn was excellent for what we needed for a few days. Only issue was the unfenced garden and pillows but otherwise it was comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and onsite. Situated in a lovely quiet area close to many attractions, especially the Norfolk Broads. Would definitely recommend!
