This cosy cottage is in the rural village of Horsham St Faith, 6 miles north of Norwich. The property sleeps four guests and four canine companions, and makes a lovely couples’ retreat or base for a small family. The cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the beautiful waterways of the Norfolk Broads (8 miles), as well as the spectacular Norfolk coastline (18 miles) with its sandy, woof-welcoming beaches.

Inside, the holiday home carefully combines original features, such as exposed beams, with contemporary decor. The heart of the home is a spacious lounge/kitchen/diner with a vaulted ceiling and a cosy wood burner – creating the perfect dozing spot for the pack. Whip up hearty feasts in the traditional fitted kitchen, before sitting down at the wooden dining table for family mealtimes together. After dinner, sink into the sumptuous sofa to read a book or watch the Smart TV. The cottage has two tranquil bedrooms, along with a family bathroom and a separate shower room. Outside, sip a sundowner in the shared, enclosed garden whilst the pups potter around on the lawn. Private parking is available for four cars.

Horsham St Faith is a quaint village and is the starting point for several popular walking trails, including across St Faith Common and through the surrounding woodland. Enjoy days out to the picturesque Broads village of Wroxham (8 miles), where you and the pups can join a boat trip or take a waterside stroll. Alternatively, journey to the Victorian seaside village of Mundesley (18 miles), with its sandy beach, colourful beach huts, and plethora of ice cream parlours and fish and chip shops. For a spot of retail therapy, the market town of Aylsham is 8 miles away.

It is not obvious from the website but the shower room is very small and not everyone is able to climb into a bath for a shower. The location of the property is perfect for guests wishing to use the local excellent bus service.

The barn is beautiful. Well equipped, comfortable and homely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was even better for our dog as it was carpeted in the front room etc. Peggy hates laminated floors and frequently when we have visited cottages she has been too scared to entre some of the rooms. We end up taking loads of floor rugs, but even this soRead moremetimes is not enough and she will only stay in certain areas. She felt comfortable to enjoy and explore the whole cottage which was lovely. Our daughter loved having her own double bedroom and effectively her own bathroom. We would definitely stay here again. Everything was just perfect! The owner Ivan was incredibly helpful and friendly and would do anything to help. Hide

Weve just returned from the most relaxing break. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect very peaceful, cosy, and just what we needed to truly unwind. We slept really well, recharged completely, and left feeling refreshed. Ivan, thank you for being on hand with our queries and so welcoming. We couldnt have asked for more.

What a find.....peace and tranquillity, excellent host - There if needed. The Barn provided everything you need, clean and spacious, including a secluded garden area. Norwich only 5 miles away, excellent beaches and shopping at Sheringham and Cromer. Wroxham and the Broads a short drive. Highly recommend - already booked a return stay
