Guests say
Guests have had a delightful stay at Sorrel - E4321, praising its cleanliness, convenient location, and comfort. The property is well-equipped, offering a homely atmosphere with thoughtful touches such as a decorated Christmas tree and dog treats. It serves as an excellent base for exploring Norfolk's attractions and enjoying local walks.
The property is generally found to be spotlessly clean, with only minor suggestions for deeper cleaning due to cobwebs and signs of wear in the bathrooms.
The location is appreciated for its tranquillity, convenience to local stores, and proximity to attractions like Bewilderwood and Great Yarmouth, making it an ideal base for exploring.
Guests find the property comfortable, with modern decorations, ample seating, and warmth. The presence of a highchair and additional pillows upon request also contributes to the comfort level.
The property is well-stocked with essentials and kitchenware, though there are mentions of minor maintenance issues like a small leak and the need for additional kitchen utensils.
The provision of unexpected extras such as dog treats, a dog bowl, and festive decorations indicates a high level of thoughtfulness, although it's noted that such gifts are a pleasant surprise and not guaranteed.

Tucked away down a country lane in the heart of Broadland, and enjoying glorious views across open fields, a range of handsome barns has been tastefully converted to create the attractive cluster of cottages we offer here. Some nestle under their traditional Norfolk thatch, all are very comfortably appointed and each enjoys its own individual patio. From the cottages, a gentle and tranquil rural landscape dotted with ancient churches, wind pumps and nature reserves, among a myriad other delights all under vast, arching East Anglian skies, offers a wealth of opportunity for enjoying walking, cycling and bird watching. Nearby How Hill nature reserve, with its marsh meadows, dykes, woodland and open water, is well worth exploring and the wider surrounding area supports a host of attractions. Riverside pubs and cafés are plentiful and a number of Broadland centres offer bike hire or canoe hire (possibly the most delightful way to discover the lovely reed lined waterways and their abundant wildlife) and visitors can also hire boats at nearby Potter Heigham, 4 miles, or take a pleasure cruise from bustling Wroxham – the capital of the Broads and home to the ‘world’s largest village store’ as well as the train station for the Bure Valley narrow gauge steam railway. Close by, Bewilderwood, a magical tree top park, promises children a day to remember, and lovely dune backed sandy beaches are a short drive – Sea Palling lies just 6 miles away. For lively family fun, visitors need look no further than Great Yarmouth and its famous pleasure beach, or Pleasurewood Hills theme park, whilst Cromer also offers traditional seaside entertainments including a renowned end of pier show. Bygone museums, craft centres and Blickling Hall (National Trust) are all within an easy drive, as is the medieval city of Norwich with its magnificent cathedral, castle, galleries, museums, cinemas, theatres and excellent shopping. A little further afield on the north Norfolk coast, seal watching boat trips can be found at picturesque fishing villages, many of which also boast pubs and restaurants serving superb, locally caught seafood. Coarse fishing is available on the lake opposite the properties just 400 yards away, and the pretty village of Ludham, 1 mile, boasts two pubs and a good range of shops.. All properties: Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. Patio with garden furniture. Fishing on-site, 400 yards. Parking. No smoking.

This property is fab. Would recommend. Loved everything. The dogs loved their walks. The only thing which would make it better is a small fenced area by the door so that if the dogs needed a wee the door could have been left open for them to come in and out and also to let airflow through. Overall though an excellent place to stay.

On arrival to Grove Farm Barns, we parked easily and found Sorrell to be spotlessly clean. The accommodation was fantastic and everything was as listed. Although self catering, we found tea, coffee and sugar, washing up liquid, tin foil, sponges and cloths which was a lovely welcome added bonus. Lovely position and my children enjoyed playing in the back field of an evening. A convenience store was just a few minutes up the road as well as larger stores within easy reach. The proximity to Bewilderwood, local beaches, Great Yarmouth and surrounding places of interest is a real selling point. Would definitely recommend this fantastic barn to anyone.
