  • Kelly

    This gorgeous converted barn is a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing break in the country, but within easy reach by car to the coast and the Broads. The comfortable barn has everything you could possibly need for your stay inside, a huge peaceful garden at the back, and stunning views over the valley from the front. Barry and Jackie are so friendly and helpful, and the generous welcome basket is such a lovely touch. We only had 2 nights but we'll definitely be back.

    This is a really lovely, quiet compact cottage ideal for a couple or couple + child/children. It is modern and extremely well furnished and equipped. It's handy for both Norfolk and Suffolk and the owners are very friendly and helpful.
