• "We had a lovely week staying at The Barn."

  It was very spacious, comfortable and very well equipped for 6 adults 2 teenagers and an 18 month old. Communication with Caroline was excellent as she was always at hand with any queries. She even went above and beyond to order a bigger cot and mattress for our grandaughter as the one provided was a bit snug. It arrived the next day . A lovely garden to enjoy the late sun with a cold drink. Plenty of room for the grandchildren to enjoy ball games. We also hired the swimming pool and enjoyed some fun time in there with a beach ball. Would definitely recommend staying there.

  Thank you so much for your wonderful review Carole! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at The Barn. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us, we are so chuffed. We would be delighted to welcome you back anytime—You were fantastic guest, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Caroline Property Owner

• "The Barn is spacious and beautiful, and very private with a walled garden and a field at the back."

  . The furniture and fittings are comfortable and luxurious and there is everything you could possibly need, including games, books and two TV's that have everything on them you could want. Wifi is very good and there are boosters upstairs, so no areas with bad signal. The kitchen is exceptionally well kitted out with crockery and pans and a selection of knives that actually cut ( a rarity in our experience). The garden is beautifully laid out. The French windows in the sitting room lead out onto a large terrace with a big table and chairs, behind which is a huge lawn for running around and playing football etc. on. There is also an adjoined paved area outside the dining area, which houses a barbecue. We were there in October, but would have spent our evenings outside if we had been there in summer. Bedrooms are all really luxurious and comfy, with John Lewis bedclothes and feather duvets and pillows. The swimming pool belongs to a neighbour, so there is a fee and a booking system. Just round the corner from the Barn, it has two well equipped changing rooms and we used it every day and loved it. We were fortunate to get really great weather so we went to Horsey Gap, a 15 minute drive away, and marveled at the numbers of seals swimming really close to shore and the size of the bull seals . They come onto the beach from November to breed and are hanging about in October in huge numbers. I think this was the highlight of my trip, and I highly recommend going there if you are at all interested in nature. Our second seaside trip was to Sea Palling, a couple of miles up the coast from Horsey. There are a few shops and cafes and it is slightly commercial. Here the water is calm and it's perfect for children to play. There is sand and gravel and miles of beach. And then there was the coming back to the comfort of the Barn. Caroline is a really helpful and responsive host. She arranged for feather-free bedding for one of our party with allergies, and she also organised for a high chair and a travel cot for the baby. She responded to all messages immediately and left a bottle of wine, milk and some delicious Norfolk cookies to welcome us. We loved our few days and would recommend the Barn for families or groups of friends.

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback and recommendations. We had the most incredible trip to Horsey last Christmas and we were treated to an abundance of gorgeous seals and pups on the beach! Very special place. We follow the National Trust walk which is a circular walk taking you to Horsey Beach, famous for its seal colony, and then through a beautiful Horsey village. It’s a lovely walk in an area of outstanding beauty as well as the Broads National Park, a great stroll with gentle coastal and sweeping Norfolk Broads landscapes. We are thrilled you had such an amazing stay and really hope you return again!! Property Owner

  It has been beautifully converted and is well equipped. The large garden is secure even for small dogs. A good location to explore the area - not far from the coast or the Broads. We plan to return

• "Fantastic time at The Barn, second time for us as we stayed a couple of years ago."

  Accommodation is spacious, comfortable, well furnished and is easy reach of many activities and places of interest. Lots to do at the property including table tennis, owners are easy to contact if there is anything wrong and lovely people to deal with. We don't tend to stay at the same place more than once but have made an exception here.

  Delighted you enjoyed your stay and chuffed to welcome you back again. A compliment indeed! Property Owner

  Great location for exploring the Broads, Norwich and the coast. I would strongly recommend for groups of friends or families looking for a self-catering holiday in Norfolk

• "TV in 'playroom' did not function."

  Had occasion to move tv and furniture in playroom - very dirty/dusty behind/beneath. Listing described a swimming pool available for additional fee. We understood this to mean it was owned by the property, this was not the case. It was owned by third party, needing to be booked online (available to anyone in Norfolk) and was quite expensive for a group of 7

  I am sorry you were unable to operate the tv. It was working perfectly before and after your stay. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Property Owner

• "What a beautiful property!"

  So much space for everyone inside and out. We spent a long weekend here as a 3 generation family and it was fantastic. We had planned to have trips out but apart from a very quick trip to a beach, we stayed at the property and didn’t want to leave. The garden is lovely with lots of space for the children and dog to run around safely. This property certainly has the wow factor and we hope to make a return trip

  Thank you very much for your very positive review. We are so chuffed you loved the Barn and as a family had a great time together. I do hope we have an opportunity to welcome you all back again soon Property Owner

• "Beautiful property that actually looked better than the photos."

  There were eight of us (nine with the dog) and we had plenty of space - large dining table - large lounge and separate snug room (both with Smart TVs) - plenty of parking - comfortable beds and large enclosed garden. This is our third time holidaying in Norfolk and this is easily the best property we have stayed in.

• "Only problem was route to barn."

  Address confusing as barn is neither in Wroxham or Hoveton.Access complicated also by flooded roads.Owners could not have been more helpfull.M.agnificent cottage. Best equipped ever

  Thank you for being such lovely guest. I am delighted you had such a lovely stay. The property is listed as Tunstead. I think the reference to Wroxham and Hoverton is that it is the closest Station. We are very lucky to be 10 minutes away from Wroxham, the capital of the broads and all the beauty that brings. We do hope you holiday again with us. Property Owner

• "12-19th april 2024 The barn is a fantastic break in the country close to all the seaside towns, wroxham and walks with your dogs for miles."

  The barn is huge beautiful garden comfy beds kitchen of dreams and a table to have dinner on where u can sit and talk for hours a luxury we dont get at home. Thank you to caroline for being a fantastic host and answering any questions we had promptly. We most defineltly will be staying again next year. The only downside is the bins and when they get emptied as there isnt alot of space to put rubbish. We all enjoyed the week even the 2 dogs loved it . So thank you for letting us stay we shall be back soon .

  Thank you for taking the time to review your time at the Barn. We were thrilled you enjoyed your stay and intend to return. I apologise that the bins on this occasion had not been emptied. The council recently change their collection day and since then the service has been intermittent. We have raised this with the local authority and we hope that a normal service will shortly resume. Thank you for choosing the Barn for your stay in Norfolk and I hope you have a great summer ahead. Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful stay at the barn - two families of 4 people, with children aged 3-5 years old."

  The house was perfect for them and they enjoyed playing out on the huge upstairs landing (we brought a car mat and puzzles with us) and the garden was a great size for them to run around. The house was extremely well stocked with all the key essentials and necessary kitchen items/tools. Very peaceful location but within easy reach of places for day trips. Would definitely consider returning if we visit that part of Norfolk again.

  Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed your holiday at the Barn and all the local area has to offer. You were lovely guests and we do hope you return again soon. Property Owner

• "As a group of 7 adults, a child, baby & a dog, we all had the pleasure of staying at the Barn recently for 3 nights for a special occasion."

  The view of the Barn when we arrived was very impressive . It is tucked away from main roads, so we felt that we were properly away (but there is wifi) There was plenty of parking outside the front of the property, that is secure with tall gates, which was good as we didn't want the child or dog to escape! Inside, the bedrooms had lots of space, with 2 of them having en-suites. They were all very clean, & beds were extremely comfortable. The lounge was large & also had a separate 'snug' that had a dart board & tv etc. The kitchen had all the utensils that we would need, the oven was large, plenty of room to store food in the fridge & freezer as well as having a large separate dining area & laundry room. There was also a swimming pool on the site, which had to be booked & paid for online. Outside, there was plenty of space for the dog to run about & had extras such as a rotary clothes line, firepit, bbq & a goal post, which was very well used!! We all agree that this was a lovely place to stay & will definitely return when we have our next special celebration.

  Thank you for taking the time to give us such a lovely detailed review. We are so delighted you celebrated your very special time with us. We would be so chuffed to welcome you back again!! Property Owner

• "The property is absolutely beautiful, facilities great and cleanliness perfect and its garden is also fab."

  It was not clear that the pool hire is for SOLE use and therefore for 1 hour it is a minimum of £25. It also has to be booked in advance. On top of the luxury price for the house this could amount to a substantial spend. For that I would expect very good facilities but the changing rooms are absolutely freezing and worst of all where the tiling meets the wall there is black mould growing for that reason and the cost we only used it once. This is not a swimming pool you expect with a luxury property.

  I am so delighted you found the Barn to be beautiful, so well equipped and enjoyed its lovely garden. I am sorry you did not enjoy using the neighbouring pool. The pool is open to our guests for private hire but is not owned or managed by us as stated in our property description . We have used it numerous times ourselves and found it to be great. The reviews of the pool are always very flattering too. I do hope you had a lovely stay and enjoyed your time in Norfolk and return to explore the beautiful sites it has to offer again soon.

• "The Barn was an exceptional property which provided the perfect venue for a family gathering."

  The owners were incredibly helpful and ensured that any minor issues were sorted out immediately. Each room was really comfortable and tastefully furnished. The garden and patio areas were also very private with ample seating. Secure fencing was in place around the garden which was really helpful as the two dogs could run around freely. Although there were no walks immediately adjacent to the property, lovely beaches and country walks were a short drive away. The swimming pool next door was also a great asset. On the whole a really enjoyable week.

  Thank you very much for your great review Jennifer. We are delighted you and your family had such a great stay at the Barn. We do hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back again . Property Owner
