“We really enjoyed our stay at the haybarn spotless clean and comfortable our dogs enjoyed it too lovely garden area for them to explore, only down side which is not the owners fault was going in October with the tractors making a right mess of the roads meaning you can't really go walking with our dogs I know there is an hose pipe to wash them down but its not much fun getting yourself caked up in mud as well as the dogs but thats only being picky.”

But cottage is wonderful maybe wrong time to go for us

Mrs Trebell October 2020

“A lovely peaceful getaway.”

Tranquil and lovely. Waking up to chickens & horses. Lovely clean and warm cottage. Very nice 100%

- Mrs Trebell, October 2020
Mrs Pepper September 2020

“A delightful cottage once you get there.”

The gardens centred around the little stream, the added touch of nooks and crannies complete with garden furniture, the summer house with seating area out over the stream all gave a restful feel to the cottage. It was helped of course by the sunny week we experienced. The interior contained all you might want on holiday with plenty of space in the kitchen area to store groceries. I would suggest that the directions for getting there be updated as the garden centre referred to in guiding us to the correct road is no more and it would be helpful if it could be stressed that the lanes going to the cottage are single lanes with the occasional passing place. While all this added to the country experience it could be off putting for anyone not used to driving on such roads. Having said all that if it is a peaceful rest you want this would be hard to beat.

- Mrs Pepper, September 2020
Mr Scott August 2020

“It wasn’t made clear in the advert that upstairs was a separate holiday let, which was very noisy when moving about and using utilities.”

May be a good idea to have fly screens on windows and doors to allow them to be opened when hot but not let in all the flies, midges and mosquitoes (of which there were many, especially in evening and at night)

- Mr Scott, August 2020
Mr Hart August 2020

“The Haybarn is an absolute gem - a little slice of paradise in the heart of Norfolk.”

We arrived to a lovely warm welcome and were treated to a week of bliss - the trickle of the stream, the neighing of the horses, the clucks of the chickens and the odd fighter jet! Its central location means you can easily explore all that Norfolk has to offer and the verandah is the perfect place to relax after a busy day out. We couldn't recommend The Haybarn more highly!

- Mr Hart, August 2020
Mrs Stroud July 2020

“No mention on your website about upstairs is also used, noisy floorboards.”

As we were there a week, would have expected more than one used toilet roll between 3 people, also perhaps a Couple of black bin liners as only one in bin no spare. Apart from that very nice stay,but wouldn’t stay again as too remote.

- Mrs Stroud, July 2020

Mr Adams October 2019

“We had a very lovely break at the Haybarn, very clean and comfortable, it is a bit remote but we knew that when booking.”

Lots of parking and dog friendly, we would go again and stay in another cottage where there was no-one staying above us, the owner Tony was welcoming friendiy and helpful. Overall a nice peaceful break. Carol SIDCUP, Kent

Many thanks for this lovely feedback and we are glad you had a good break. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Miller October 2019

“Perfect base for our short stay, The cottage is well laid out, very clean comfortable, The owner are very friendly and helpful, We would go again and recommend to family and friends.”

- Mrs Miller, October 2019
Mr Bunyan September 2019

“Overall a very good week.”

My only criticism being that I was glad I took notice of feed back left on TripAdvisor, take a spare toilet roll. I did mention this to the owner, he thought there should be two in the cupboard under the sink in the toilet area upon arrival. Needless to say the cupboard was bare. The Haybarn is set in a lovely peaceful area. If you want peace and quite, this is the place to go.

- Mr Bunyan, September 2019
Mr Rippon July 2019

“Everything was as we expected via the advertisement, we found the owners to be the most helpful and charming people you could wish to meet.”

All in all we had a most enjoyable and relaxing break and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

Mrs Fisher May 2019

“Just a really nice place”

- Mrs Fisher, May 2019
Mrs Harris April 2019

“Lovely and clean cottage, nice open plan living space, a very small double bedroom with larger twin room.”

Soft mattresses. Kitchen had most things, pots pans etc but nothing like oil, kitchen roll etc, so take your own. Only 1 toilet roll provided. Office sign said closed most of the time, not sure if someone would have answered if we rung. Lovely hot powerful shower, no bath. Worth noting this is not the only holiday cottage/apartment on site. The loft room above is rented, we had quiet neighbours above but it must have wooden floors, footsteps were very loud as were door handles. There is also a cottage opposite. So you're not alone when out in your pjs and coat weeing the dog! Lack of basic additional extras, for example, no soap or hand wash in bathroom. No toiletries. Heating only on Oct - April, only controllable by owners. A blanket would have been nice to take the edge off. Odd activities took place on the grounds, power washing cars at 8pm the first night, car mechanics with engines running and revving Saturday afternoon. Lovely stay but wasn't the peaceful solitary retreat we were hoping for.

- Mrs Harris, April 2019
Mrs Elden March 2019

“Haybarn is a lovely place, had everything you could ask for.”

Just a few things I think they need to look into. The Towels were a bit hard. ( sorry just being pickie) I had a heard job at seeing the controls on the cooker/Oven as they had worn out, could do about doing something about that. But in general a Beautiful holiday home

- Mrs Elden, March 2019
Mr Grieve March 2019

“Great location and really lovely hosts.”

The cottage was well presented and very clean with everything you need, the only criticism was the double bed could be a little more comfy but nothing that should put you off.

- Mr Grieve, March 2019
Malibu S March 2019

“So peaceful!”

3 of us stayed at the Haybarn for 3 nights. What a beautiful, peaceful location. I have never slept so well for a long time! The shower is large and powerful, you're not provided with complimentary toiletries (but who uses them anyway?!) but towels are provided. A lovely outside seating area which, unfortunately, due to weather we weren't really able to enjoy, however, in the summer I'm sure it's just delightful. There is everything you need in the kitchen including an iron, washing machine and dishwasher (think you might need to take your own powders/tablets etc to use). Very well centrally heated on timers with a little electric fire in the lounge if needed. As others have pointed out you will definately need a car to get about but some lovely walks to be had in the immediate area.

- Malibu S, March 2019
Mr Syrett March 2019

“Cleanliness poor white dog fur over the floor and furniture, kitchen blind broken,fridge dirty,freezer compact with ice,dog nose smears on french door glass,tatty towels and bath matts with bleach stains and hard texture, bath tiles need cleaning meldue spots.”

Biggest thing of all we was misinformed that their was a first floor with other people in it very noisy it wasn’t stated clearly from your website as I have since found out through trip advisor other people have also complained about this .

- Mr Syrett, March 2019

Many thanks for your feedback and we are sorry you were disappointed. While the website mentions that this property is below another, we will contact you further to discuss all your comments and also liaise with the owner. Sykes owner relations

Mr Gunner August 2018

“It said there was WiFi but all week there was no internet.”

We infomed the owners but still didn't have internet all week.We heard other residents reporting it aswell.This meant we had a job to sort out days out using google maps for postcards. There was also a strong smell of fuel outside the haybarn from the tank outside.

- Mr Gunner, August 2018
Mr Davis August 2018

“Lovely relaxing setting.”

Very nice hosts. Cosy and well equipped.

Snige969 July 2018

“Mr”

Brilliant Holiday Cottage, the peace & tranquility were divine & hard to get used to for a day or 2. The owners are the salt of the earth. So gentle & understanding, picking up on individual needs ie that our son had a disability, and the owner came over each eve to get him to assist in letting the horses out. We entertained many visitors there & they ALL commented on how perfect the spot was

- Snige969, July 2018
Miss Oakley July 2018

“Lovely cottage set in nice surroundings, quiet and very peaceful making it a relaxing holiday.”

Ms Woolner June 2018

“The Haybarn is a perfect for a country holiday.”

Very Modern & clean with a fab walk in shower.! Lovely surroundings , we could see the horses in the field from our French doors Also a character Cockerel who loved to keep his 2 Chickens in order! Lovely to sit in a very pretty cottage garden with plenty of Mature trees in the Beautifully maintained grounds great for bird watching.. will certainly return ..

Jsyne October 2017

“Great little cluster of holiday accommodation.”

Lovely home from home in very quiet spot. Very well equipped cottage. Beds super comfy and hot water all of the time. You definitely need your own car here and it was a great base for exploring Norfolk. Nowhere was more than a 45 minute drive. Our only criticism is that upstairs is let out separately and this time was let to some scaffolders who got up at 4.30 every morning to go to work and the noise they made woke us all including the dog.

- Jsyne, October 2017
VickyPreece August 2017

“Beautifully decorated modern well equipped dog friendly rural retreat”

Clearly the owners have put a lot of thought into the decor and facilities here. Even coordinating towels! Real attention to detail and spotlessly clean which made it very homely and welcoming. The kitchen is the best equipped I have ever experienced, with lots of workspace, utensils and fully integrated appliances including washing machine. Nice comfy sofas too! Great shower! Tony and his wife are lovely people, we felt completely welcome and at ease. They are there if you need them but leave you to enjoy your holiday. Very relaxed The property is on the owners grounds with shared parking and small private garden with use of their own shared garden should you want more open space. There is a small stream separating the two. Well kept grounds. Be mindful that the top floor of the property is rented out - not obvious from picture/description. There was someone staying whilst we were there but didn't cause any noise issues for us at all. The property is rural and you will need a car to go anywhere. It's narrow country lanes too so don't expect shops, pubs etc in walking distance. This was fine for us as we are out in the day and prefer cosy nights in. The owners have lovely dogs themselves and are really chilled with dogs. Genuinely dog 'friendly'. Just need to keep on lead in grounds as chickens and horses around. All in all a lovely stay.

- VickyPreece, August 2017
Mrs Everdell January 2017

“Property absolutely great but downside was the narrow lane to the property and the distance from Necton village (2 miles ).”

- Mrs Everdell, January 2017
Mr Goose December 2016

Miss Jones October 2016

“We had a fantastic early autumn break at The Haybarn.”

We received a very warm welcome from the owners on arrival. I was taken aback as to how beautiful the property was. Very tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. Massive kitchen with everything that I needed for my week away. It was great to have a lovely hot shower each morning too. The property is really "in the middle of nowhere". This was all very nice and it is why I picked the cottage in the first place, however it was a bit scary at times trying to walk two dogs along the country lanes trying to dodge local motorists who are obviously too familiar with the area. Thankfully the very nice owners allowed me to exercise my dogs in their garden and paddock, though as it is working farm my boys had to be on the lead at all times (but that did not phase them - they loved it just being in the countryside!!). We loved saying hello to the horses each morning, and my youngest dog was fascinated with the hens. We managed to get out most days, and visited various National Trust properties, spent a day in the Norfolk Broads and went on a boat with the pooches, and we also took a day out to Cambridgeshire to visit a National Trust property and an ancient Abbey. Thank you so much for allowing us to come and stay in your beautiful cottage. It was a brilliant holiday, and I would really hope to return again soon - possibly in the summer, when we could take advantage of sitting out on the veranda and watch the day go by, and seeing the local wildlife.

- Miss Jones, October 2016
Mrs Edwards May 2016

“So relaxing.”

The Haybarn was so well equipped that we didn't have to worry about anything. Very dog friendly.We were made to feel very welcome on arrival but then left alone to get on and enjoy our break away. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Edwards, May 2016
Mrs Tomlinson April 2016

Mr Setter June 2015

“Had easy access to places of interest and it was a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.”

- Mr Setter, June 2015
Mr Roche January 2015

“The Haybarn was absolutely delightful.”

The owners were charming hosts, and we especially enjoyed the proximity to horses, chooks and sometimes dogs. We loved taking strolls through the surrounding lane ways or car trips to nearby attractions such as Norwich, Great Yarmouth and places nearer such as Dereham. The countryside was lovely and convenient to many things. A very special memory is watching the sunsets over the fields through the western windows of the cottage. We also enjoyed the pond and waterway just outside the door. So beguiling. Thanks so much to the owners for a great stay and some lovely chats.

- Mr Roche, January 2015
Miss Baker December 2014

“A wonderful cottage that the owners have taken great care and pride in making the cottage facilitate all your needs.”

Mrs Corbett July 2014

“Quiet, peaceful surroundings with the freedom to use the large garden.”

Lots of birds to watch for an enthusiast, including a Kingfisher. It was nice to see the horses, ducks and chickens. Very pleasant owners. Space for parking and it felt secure as the large gates to the property were kept shut. We liked the double doors opening into the garden.

- Mrs Corbett, July 2014
Mrs House May 2014

“Enjoyed Norfolk very much and visited several National Trust properties.”

We were lucky with good weather so we had some lovely walks with our two dogs. Very dog friendly pubs, especially the Peddars Inn at Sporle, they made our dogs very welcome with treats and water! All in all a lovely holiday.

- Mrs House, May 2014
Mrs Hudson December 2013

“The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that anyone could ever need, and the quality of the kitchenware is first class, we cooked a full Christmas dinner with no problems at all.”

The surrounding gardens and outdoor space is lovely, the cottage is quite remote but we do like that, very quiet. The owners were very welcoming and helpful but left you alone to enjoy your holiday. The cottage is very nicely furnished, decorated and very warm with a nice shower. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the towels were soft and fluffy with a good array. The outside veranda was great, and I can imagine perfect on a nice summers evening! This is a lovely cottage, and we did enjoy our stay.

- Mrs Hudson, December 2013
Mr Bateman November 2013

This is something we have not come across before. Well done.

A FlipKey verified reviewer July 2013

“Beautiful barn conversion with gorgeous gardens.”

The service we received from the owners was wonderful, upon arriving we got a real warm welcome and then told if we needed anything we only had to ask. The barn was beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. A generously sized shower was lovely to use also. The location was very rural, very peaceful which is what we look for. The beautifully kept gardens with stream, pond and secret gardens were private and great to sit in on an evening. To get to the nearest shop and pub etc. you really needed to use the car as they were quiet a way off from the barn. The only let down was that it didn't mention in the details that you would have other guests living above you...which at times was very noisy as you can hear every footstep which they take.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, July 2013
Mrs Frye July 2013

“A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in delightful quiet rural location.”

Very pleasant owners. Lots of interesting places to visit. All in all, a very successful holiday.

A FlipKey verified reviewer July 2013

“Perfect cottage in an ideal setting”

Spent a lovely week here with the family in april. Very welcoming an ideal location. Only disadvantage was the lack of restaurants and pubs that accept dogs. This however would not prevent us from staying here again.

“A Rural Retreat”

Had a fabulous stay at The Haybarn. The Haybarn is one of 3 properties available to rent. All are dog friendly. The facilities are excellent too. We enjoyed a couple of days where the weather was glorious and we were able to sit outside on the verandah overlooking the pond. Ducks, horses and chickens are residents on the farm. The owners dog was seen riding on the back of one of horses too! Downside would be that the nearest pub was a 2.2 mile walk and with our slow coach of a dog we were hungry and thirsty by the time we got there. But the wait was worth it. If you do stay at the Haybarn you should visit the Windmill Inn at Necton.

- westiewoowoo, June 2012
Mrs Cusworth May 2012

Mr Flitney March 2012

“Our hosts at The Haybarn were charming and very helpful.”

We appreciated the lack of traffic noise and no light pollution at night. Good fields that were open to public access, and we enjoyed the contrast in scenery between Devon and the East Coast area.

- Mr Flitney, March 2012
Mrs Davison October 2011

“The property has been renovated beautifully.”

A well equipped kitchen and a lovely little garden, it was nice to sit on the covered patio watching the ducks and chickens. The situation is excellent and it's wonderfully quiet. The dinner we had at the Windmill Inn was superb!
