Property code: OC-1995

Originally built in the 1880s, this elegant barn conversion enjoys a fantastic location close to the eastern coastline of Norfolk. Offering stylishly updated holiday accommodation for four guests, the property has ample space for a pair of four-pawed pals to tag along to discover the region’s beautiful beaches and the famous Norfolk Broads. Enjoying fantastic rural views, this tastefully furnished reverse-level retreat is decorated in classic warm tones, with a welcoming wood burner, exposed timber beams, panelled walls and dramatic light fittings.

Head up the welcoming stairs and into the magnificent open-plan lounge/diner. Full of character, this beautiful room has exposed beams, stylish light fittings and a cosy wood burner in an impressive surround. This is an ideal space for everyone to relax in at the end of a memorable day, including your pets who can snuggle up on their own Chesterfield dog bed. The sociable dining area has a country-style table perfect for enjoying a family meal which you can rustle up in the light-filled, beautifully equipped kitchen. Returning to the ground floor, you will find a refreshing family bathroom and two coolly decorated bedrooms: one spacious super-king-size and one charming twin. Outside, the enclosed garden has a charming lawn with plenty of space for children and dogs to run around, with a sunny patio, outdoor furniture and a fabulous swing seat so you can sit back with a good book or dine alfresco.

Filby Broad is 3 miles north, with the River Yare running 8 miles to the south, making this a fantastic base for exploring the Norfolk Broads by foot or boat. Heading to the coast, Caister-on-Sea (5 miles) and Winterton-on-Sea (9 miles) both have lovely dog-friendly beaches, as does the bustling resort of Great Yarmouth (8 miles) which has plenty of arcades, amusements, rides, pubs and restaurants.

What an amazing place to stay. We had a wonderful holiday exploring around the barn and further a field. Lots to do a short distance away. The Barn was so comfortable and relaxing with everything we needed. It was quiet and relaxing and certainly want to return.

Beautiful, Barn well-equipped loved the idea of the mini shop. The only negative is the neighbour and the tv noise/ shouting otherwise would definitely recommend. We would definitely go back and our puppy loved it.

The property is very tastefully decorated, it has almost everything you would need. The welcome pack was gratefully received too. The outdoor space is perfect for the dogs, it is enclosed by short wire fencing so they are secure. The parking spaces are a bonus. You are tucked away enough to enjoy the quiet whilst being a short drive to lots oRead moref busy seaside resorts. Our dogs are older so the walks were shorter, but there are plenty of places straight out of your front gate for lovely walks. Hide

Lovely quiet location, good walks around the area. Well appointed property had a lovely stay and will definitely visit again. Dog loved the chesterfield dog bed provided. Welcome treats were nice and the option to purchase more was a lovely idea. Fresh eggs and home maid jam available from a couple of houses in the village.
