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.

Lovely spacious property that suited our family holiday with children and grandchildren. Hot tub and garden provided lots of fun and relaxation. The two tables seating six were a bonus.

Went away with girlfriends for a catch up week and had a lovely time. The weather was wet, wet, wet but in-between showers and thunder storms we hopped in and out of the hot tub which was very clean and spacious. Have been to Beech Barn before so knew what to expect. Wroxham is a short drive away with shops, etc. and the barn is in a rural location but suited our needs perfectly.
