  • Stylish barn conversion in rural surroundings, on the outskirts of Roughton
  • Character property with a host of traditional features and contemporary facilities
  • Part of a small complex of three properties, with hot tub, and entertaining areas
Property code: OC-1654

A beautifully presented barn conversion nestled on the fringes of Roughton and ideally situated for sun-soaked adventures along the Norfolk coast. This charming hideaway is ideal for a small family or friends’ reunion with up to three honorary four-pawed members. Furry food connoisseurs can peruse the extensive ‘Hound Menu’ at the doggy cafe in Cromer (3.5 miles), before stretching out for a snooze on the lawn while the humans sip an al fresco aperitif.

This vibrant property blends traditional charm with contemporary flair. Picture rustic wooden beams, exposed stone walls, sleek tile flooring, and colourful artistic touches. Slip off muddy harnesses at the door then step into the impressive open-plan heart of the home. Kick back on the comfortable sofa beneath the vaulted beamed ceiling or warm chilly paws in the heat of the crackling wood burner. Sip a brew and itinerary plan, perched at the colourful dining table or congregate for a celebratory feast. Pad beneath the double stone archways to the homely shaker-style kitchen and perch at the breakfast table with a drink or rustle up a meaty supper for your hungry hounds. As the night draws in, rest up in the airy twin or bright king-size with patio doors – perfect for early morning moseying in the enclosed garden. After a day of adventuring, enjoy a restorative soak in the shared hot tub (available from March 2023).

Get noses twitching with a saunter along the bustling Victorian Cromer Pier (3.5 miles) or stroll beneath the sweet chestnut trees on the tranquil grounds of Felbrigg Hall (3 miles). Playful pups can bound, dig, and wave-chase to their little heart’s content on the rugged cliff-backed shores of West Runton Beach (5.5 miles) before tackling a chew at the waterfront cafe.

  • Electric oven, electric hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine
  • Tumble dryer in garage, shared between 3 cottages

Please request it on the booking form by ticking the relevant box (you will come to the booking form after clicking “Book My holiday” or “Book Now"). The £69 cost of the hot tub is not included in the price you see on the booking calendar on this page. Sadly the £69 cost can’t be reduced for shorter stays as most of the energy cost arises from initially having to heat up the water. Although the owners do their best, they cannot always guarantee the water will be fully heated up to 38 degrees for the first night of a booking.

Nice touches with extras, like card, prosecco etc. Made it feel special. Hot tub good and well used by us. On site caretaker great. Location spot on. Felbrigg hall was a wonderful walk. Cromer lovely. Sherringham also. Close to Norwich and broads. Dog friendly, which is great if you have one. Would come again.

We have had a wonderful time staying at this lovely cottage, which is a converted barn. Everything is beautifully clean, organised, and tastefully decorated. It is situated in a prime position in the country, where it is quiet and peaceful, and yet just a few miles from the sea with sandy beaches. The owners, Ben and Helen, were very kind and heRead morelpful, ensuring everything we needed was supplied. Ian, the local gentleman in charge of the practical side, was also very thoughtful and helpful, with nothing being too much trouble to answer any questions about the working of equipment of which we were unaccustomed to using. He even provided a long extension lead, so my husband did not have to get his mobility scooter out of the car to charge it. The hot tub was a special treat, as was the welcome package and card! We highly recommend this cottage. Bob & Elizabeth Barker. Hide

Utterly gorgeous holiday home - spacious, warm and both the sofa and beds were so comfy! We loved the enclosed courtyard for our dog, as well as the secure fields for him to stretch his legs before we headed off for our days out in Norfolk. The hot tub was such a treat and the log burner made the evenings so warm and cosy. Good base to explore Read moreNorfolk - most days we drove up to Burnham Market, Holkham, Wells and Holt. Both me and my partner would book here again for a trip to Norfolk. Hide

There was only 1 downside which i have already mentioned to the owners which they will speak to the cleaners abt, and this is that there was cobwebs and a few spiders to contend with, other than that we would love to stay again.

We both enjoyed our holiday so much, also our two little dogs. The accommodation is lovely with everything that you would need to hand. The position is so private with the added addition of 2 fields for our dogs to roam on. Garage and shop and chip shop very handy in the village and the lovely New Inn pub where the food was fabulous and not too expRead moreensive and the staff lovely. We also paid for the hot tub but unfortunately we didn't use it as the weather changed when we got there, but it was placed in the garden and would have been lovely to use. Hide
