The Barn was welcoming when we arrived. The owner lives next door and came to check we had everything we needed. The cottage was warm, clean, and well-equipped. The cottage has some lovely local walks and a corner shop which is a 10-minute walk away. The cottage is central to the broads, sea, and wildlife parks. We even got to see grey seals, which was a 20-minute drive.

A beautiful little spot for a get away, you can easily walk to the local village and the shop, some beautiful walking paths for you and the dog. The local towns are easily accessible via car if you wanted to venture further and then return to the beautiful calm hidden gem that is The Barn.
