Granary Barn (UKC5405) is a delightful, romantic haven for a couple’s getaway and offers charm and character with a high standard of comfort. The living room has oak floors and opens onto its private south facing terrace, ideal for al fresco breakfasts and intimate evening repasts, and overlooking the mature gardens. The bedroom with en-suite facilities is reached via a spiral staircase, has a high pitched ceiling and a glazed gable wall with French doors and Juliette balcony, which provides elevated views of the garden and paddocks beyond.
The original hay barn has been re-built to create Cedar Barn (ref UKC5406). It has the added advantage of a mezzanine bedroom above, overlooking the extensive well-furnished living area. An open-plan kitchen adjoins the living area with high ceiling and exposed beams. The hallway leads to a well-appointed shower room. Ideal for two, Cedar Barn also lends itself to accommodate a young family making use of the additional sofa bed in the living area. This is a dog-friendly holiday barn accommodating up to two dogs.

We’ve been staying in Norfolk for 25yrs and this visit has been the best by far.
We’ve been staying in Norfolk for 25yrs and this visit has been the best by far. Wonderful, quiet and picturesque location and the indoor swimming pool is amazing!! The kids loved it. Cedar Barn is spotlessly clean and our hosts were very nice and helpful. Can walk to the local shop and butchers, plus the zoo is right next to the farm. Will be back!
