Charlotte
Lots to do nearby, we went to the beach at Cromer, SUP on a local river and for a spa day. The barn itself is very open plan in terms of living space, so brilliant for a group holiday as you never feel like you are separated from the group and the conversation. Kitchen is lovely and well equipped (ovens take a while to warm up though so be aware of that) and it was an added bonus to have a dishwasher. The bedrooms are lovely, all comfortable and warm, and the bathrooms are gorgeous, with great showers and jacuzzi baths to chose from. Thereâs plenty of parking space, we had two cars, and found some shops for our groceries when we arrived the first evening without any problems. We had a really lovely time, would recommend it again to anyone, and hope to go back again one day in the future.

Lovely accommodation,open plan two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs. Good parking just outside of barn. Very quiet and peaceful area, surrounded by fields. No walking distance to a convenient store so need a car. Unfortunately we wouldn't go back due to not being allowed to leave dog in accommodation unattended. For us this made things much more restricted to visit places as we also have a child in a wheelchair. Which the accommodation was great for, apart from back courtyard.(loose gravel). Left a thank you card to owner with flowers

Some signs that cleaning is a bit slap dash, and odd issues with fixtures e.g. I repaired the small window that had lost a screw. Not too sure what the solution is with the floorboards. With a quality cleaner and odd job maintenance these steps could transform a good to an amazing. Hedge outside could be trimmed to add to to the cared for look! Enjoyed it very much thanks David
