Guests say
Kestrel Barn offers spacious, well-equipped accommodation with en-suite rooms, a large enclosed garden, and a games room. It's ideal for large groups and families, with a location convenient for exploring North Norfolk. Guests appreciate the ample parking, the well-stocked kitchen, and the property's suitability for children and pets.
While most reviews do not mention cleanliness issues, one review cites an infestation of flies and unclean bed linen upon arrival, suggesting inconsistency in cleanliness standards.
There is not enough information to accurately score the location as the reviews do not provide specific details about the surrounding area or its accessibility.
The property is praised for its spaciousness and comfortable en-suite bedrooms. However, one review mentions a lack of heating and hot water, which impacted their comfort during the stay.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the kitchen and games room. However, there are reports of maintenance issues with the boiler and dryer, and concerns about outdated PAT testing.
Guests are pleased with the welcome pack, which is a thoughtful touch, though it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

The accomodation is amazing, plenty of room for a large group with all en-suite rooms. The games room is a lovely addition too. The kitchen is well equipped with a huge cooker. Unfortunately the washing machine is very small and the dryer wasn’t working. It was noticed that the PAT testing was last done 3 years ago! The garden is enclosed and large but as we came in November we struggled to see the path in the dark and as check in is at 5pm we struggled to see our way on arrival.
