Beautiful, spacious open plan converted barn. All on one level. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Great to have enclosed rear garden for our terrier. Lovely and warm with underfloor heating and log burner. Well placed for the Broads, beaches and countryside walks. Closest beach at Happisburgh only some 30minutes walk across fields and lanes.Read more A number of beautiful National Trust properties within short drive. Hide

The Barn was the most comfortable and well equipped place we have stayed in. The owners have thought of absolutely everything and everything is of a high standard. The Barn is in a perfect location to explain The Broads and the amazing beaches.

The property is extremely comfortable and well equipped. Tastefully decorated and very clean. Great to have kitchen staples such as foil, dishwashing liquid, salt and pepper etc supplied. It is in a really good position for exploring Norfolk. Only negative for us was the road noise.
