You couldn’t get much more of a picturesque rural retreat than this traditional yet contemporary barn conversion set in the sweeping landscape of Norfolk. And with some of East Anglia’s finest coastal walks within a 15-mile radius, your canine travel companions will love you for choosing this place.

Step into this classic barn conversion, with light modern design and period features in equal measure. First, the impressive hallway, with floor-to-ceiling windows letting in all the light and atmosphere of the surrounding fields. Then, head into the open-plan living space, a bright and calming area to chill out. There’s a comfy lounge area, a central dining space and a chic kitchen with everything you need for self-catering. Bi-fold doors lead out to the enclosed patio and shared lawn. Then, head upstairs to your lovely bedrooms - one double and one twin - each dressed in natural tones and with stunning views out over the landscape. Plus, both bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite bathroom, so zero queues in the morning. Dogs must be kept on a lead when walking around the working farm due to many species of rare ground nesting birds in the area. 

This area of East Anglia is a dream for walkers, bikers, and dreamers alike. Country walks abound from your doorstep or you could take a scenic drive through Norfolk’s pretty villages to the coast. There’s a wealth of beaches along this stretch, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - that includes the quaint local favourite, Wells-next-the-Sea, with its charming port and stunning sandy beach making it the ideal haunt for dogs who love the salty air in their fur.

We loved this barn. Its location was perfect for us being within easy driving distance of the north coast, close to all amenities & yet peaceful & surrounded by wildlife. The barn itself was cosy, immaculately presented & clean. If we chose to holiday in Norfolk again Alethorpe Barn would definitely be our accommodation of choice.

Wonderful cottage to stay in for wildlife lovers. To open the curtains each morning and see hares, partridges, green finches and many other birds was a joy. The deers in the evening were magical. The cottage was lovely and clean and the beds were very comfortable. It had all we needed for a great week. Special thanks to the owner of the cottage whoRead more was so helpful when I thought I had left a bag behind and found it thank you so much. We hope to return again we had a great holiday. Hide

We had a lovely week in this beautiful barn. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and really comfortable, a great place to go back to after a day exploring. The owners had thought of everything to make for an enjoyable stay. The wildlife in the garden and fields beyond was fantastic, with a wide range of birds that included a green woodpeckeRead morer. The property is well located for visiting many of the attractions in North Norfolk. Highly recommended! Hide
