What an amazing week we’ve had. The location is brilliant, the owners are lovely and friendly and the house itself is perfect. We didn’t want to come home which to me says it all. Thank you Beech barn for a great holiday. I’d definitely book this property again if we come back to Norfolk.

The holiday was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and Beech Barn was ideal for our Multi generational needs. We loved the rural setting and the barn had everything we needed to hand. Our host was delightful and helpful.
