Miss Marshall
September 2020
Ducksfoot Barn was fantastic lovely welcoming touches.. Had a really lovely week there . Could not have been better Unfortunately we had some issues with Sykes Cottages. our original booking had to be cancelled due to Covid 19 and Sykes would not refund the whole amount . Later a sum of £54 was held over for a future booking although we had already booked another cottage . It took several phone calls and emails before this sum was refunded. Not very happy as this is our money and should have been refunded immediately

Gorgeous surroundings and cottage.. We had a lovely time.

Ducksfoot Barn, was truly home from home.. The owners made sure we were comfortable and happy with everything the first evening we arrived. It's situation with a dog was excellent, quiet roads for the shorter 'comfort break' walks and Tyrrells' Wood a shortish walk or 3minutes in the car for those longer hour plus walks with, in our case an exuberant Working Cocker. The Barn was warm, spacious and well equipped, if I had to find fault I would say the kitchen knives were a bit blunt... that would be all.
Mr Kendall, November 2019

A very nice barn conversion with lots of room and good for entertaining.. Not far from Pulham Market and a very good farm shop. The owners are friendly and up-front and will willingly help with any difficulties.

The owners made us very welcome and were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.. Ducksfoot Farm is in a lovely setting. The Barn itself combines the rustic of the setting with the contemporary interior design, giving a wow factor. The beds were so comfortable and clean, and every necessity for a self catering holiday had been provided. There are lots of recommendations of places to visit and eat, and the local pub in Pulham Market served great food in a nice atmosphere. A very pretty area. Norwich, Sandringham and Southwold are worth visits. The icing on the cake was the appearance of the mother duck with her twelve ducklings from the duck pond proudly marching around the garden!

The barn has been lovingly converted and has ample of room for a large family.. We were just two with our dog who despite the weather managed to have a relaxing time and a chance to catch up with friends. We found a lovely warm reception for both us and the dog at The Swan in Coney Weston, where we enjoyed a nice meal and had a relaxing afternoon. If you want somewhere nice and near to walk your pooch then Tyrell’s wood is only 4 minutes away by car or if the weather is nice then local footpaths are within walking distance. For local produce you couldn’t go far wrong with Goodies which is not much further on from Tyrrel’s wood and has a nice selection of fresh, frozen homemade meals. There is also a butchers and if you want to enjoy a bit of lunch out then also a nice cafe. This was our second time to Ducksfoot Barn and I’m sure that it will not be our last visit there as we love it, especially the peace and quiet.

They let motorhomes/caravans park on the side we didn't have any but they have provided a garden table and chairs on the patio and if you where to sit out there you would be over looked .. if you had a dog/children they would be able to get out onto this area which also doubles as your carparking space. they have put roses/hedge and an arch but just needs a gate and a bit of fencing to make it secure. apart from that it was lovely and would probably go again

Amazed at the whole facilities on offer, We have stayed at hundreds of self-catering places over the years.. Diss barn is one of the best Some of the instructions for operating equipment could have been more prominent

Lovely accommodation in a most attractive setting.. Dog friendly, our Dalmatian had a great time too as we explored the footpaths around us.
Mrs Leporati
September 2018
We had a lovely week at this beautiful old barn in a pretty hamlet in Norfolk, one of our favourite holiday destinations.. Could have been 15/16th century with amazing old Timbers. Only child/dog proof fencing and gate to patio area would be our recommendation as it would have made for a more relaxing time with our dog. The same applies to the caravan area as it would have been lovely to let our dog have safe freedom. We had a hornets

No negatives but would be handy to have a couple of grab rails, one in shower and by internal steps to bedroom.. thank you.
Miss Webster, November 2016
October 2016
The property was lovely but I was un aware that the garden was used as a small caravan site for 5 vans with electric hook up.. If the site was occupied by vans this would have made it very noisy and an extremely disappointing break away hence I would not return to the property

We Loved the Barn. It was well equipped, very clean, light, airy and quiet. The walk in wet room in the utility was a bonus - it had loads of space, and I loved the galleried library. There was lots of local information available too which was great. It was very easy to get to the coastal areas, market towns, the broads and the forest parks. Overall a very good holiday and would recommend Ducksfoot Barn to anyone wishing a bit of peace and quiet - a great base to return back to after a day exploring.
Mrs Hankins

Lovely welcome, the owner came over and introduced herself (very friendly) and gave us local information as to the nearest shop and places of interest, and where we could walk our dog. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed trips along the broads and a visit to a few beaches amongst other things. Made to feel very welcome and the place was lovely, very well equipped.

This property would have been rated higher than excellent if there was a category. We have told friends and family about the property, ideal for a quite away from it all holiday. We hope to return in the future. There was even home made cake, milk and flowers upon our arrival, lovely hosts and one of the best properties we have ever stayed in!

The warm welcome we received upon arrival set the scene for the week. Ducksfoot Barn is situated in a beautiful area which is great for walking, with plenty of footpaths, also not far from the sea and the Norfolk Broads. For those who like to see the wildlife there are plenty of Deer, Hares and a marvellous assortment of birds around including Ducks on the pond at Ducksfoot. Dogs are made very welcome which was ideal for us. The bedrooms, both en-suite, are extremely comfortable as is the big lounge with a large dining table and there is a wet room with a shower, toilet and white goods. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. Overall, a home from home which we would highly recommend.

This is a lovely 2 doubled bedroomed property, each having private facilities. We were greeted by the owner on arrival and given tea, cake and fresh eggs from the chickens at the farm. There were fresh flowers on the dining table to underline the welcome. The view from the spacious well equipped kitchen was of the pond where the ducks and ducklings were a delight. The two weeks we spent at the barn flew despite the inclement weather which deprived us of having a BBQ on the lovely patio. The barn is well situated to enjoy numerous footpaths and visit nearby villages. There is a park and ride quite near for visits to Norwich and no difficulty in parking in the many towns in the region.

The facilities were A1, the whole experience including the weather was exceptional. As this was our first time booking a holiday cottage and did not fully know what to expect we were all pleasantly surprised with this property. The owners and the surrounding areas had a lot to offer. We were left to enjoy ourselves throughout and had access to the gardens and BBQ, even the dog enjoyed herself here and soon settled. My sincere thanks go to the owners who made us so welcome and to Sykes for making the arrangements so easy to complete. We would definitely recommend to others and probably will go again ourselves.
