The Old Barn in Norwich is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. Its location is appreciated for proximity to the beach and local amenities. The property is spacious, catering to families and large groups, and offers a pleasant outdoor sitting area. Some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements are noted, but overall, guests are highly satisfied and often recommend the property.
Guests generally find The Old Barn clean, with several positive remarks about its tidiness. However, a few guests mentioned areas that required better cleaning and specific instances of items needing attention before use. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The property's location is frequently praised for being close to the beach, local shops, and attractions. It is described as private and quiet, with easy access to nearby dining options, making it an ideal spot for a traditional beach holiday.
Comfort is a strong point for The Old Barn, with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the property spacious. The presence of a ground floor bedroom and bathroom is appreciated for accessibility. Some guests suggested additional comfort improvements like summer quilts and more lounge cushions.
Facilities are well-regarded, with ample kitchen equipment and on-site parking. However, guests have suggested improvements such as clearer instructions for appliances, more hand towels, and minor maintenance like shower rail cleaning. The oven's complexity was a recurring theme.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the welcome packs provided, which are mentioned positively in several reviews. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and not all reviews mention them, it is not possible to accurately score this category.

Our family group of six were completely overwhelmed with the property everything was just perfect. We would stay again and most certainly recommend it. A blocked sink was dealt with speedily. We couldn't have asked for a better service. Even the weather was kind.
