    Nearby attractions including Banham Zoo and Eaton Park are worth a visit. Eaton Park is free apart from the car park fee, but it’s very reasonable. The cottage is comfortable, well maintained and with ample room for us all. The hot-tub was a bonus.

    We received a lovely warm welcome from Michelle and Stephen who are happy to help if needed but happy to leave you to it if not! The Barn is spotlessly clean and has the lovely feeling of a real home from home in which you feel comfortable straight away. We enjoyed using the local train facilities which enabled us to have some lovely days out without having to drive everywhere - a wonderful holiday!

    The cottage was outstanding in every way, we could find no reason to criticise in any way. Stepehen and Michelle met us on arrival to intorduce themselves, and were on hand should we have needed them. The hot tub was great and big enough for our whole party to get in together.

    Stephen and Michelle were very welcoming and we knew if there was an issue they were nearby to help. The property was spotless, the kitchen was very well equipped. There was an abundance of games etc to entertain children. The place was decorated with lots of personal details to make it "homey" . Even though it was a barn conversion it was a very warm property that had underfloor heating with separate controls for each room .The outside areas were beautifully well maintained and the hot tub was a great feature. I would happily recommend it as a great place for a family or a group of friends to stay at.

    We loved the fact that the garden is fully secure for the dog, which is not true of all gardens that advertise this. We appreciated the fact that when (minor) issues emerged, they were dealt with quickly and efficiently. And we valued the prompt and friendly attention of the owners when required/helpful, alongside the privacy at other times.

    Very clean & well maintained with lovely furnishings to make it very enjoyable. Lots of areas to sit & relax& a large garden to enjoy. The owners are very friendly & helpful with lots of local information & recommendations. The location made it easy for us to explore parts of Norfolk, I would have like to walk to the local villages but I wouldn’t recommend as the roads are busy & the verges not easy for pedestrians in places.

    Lovely and cosy inside with underfloor heating - individual thermostats to each room. Lots of natural light. We were blessed with some remarkable weather for February and didn't expect to be sunbathing in the courtyard by the fishpond and fountain - very relaxing for everyone. The layout enables plenty of space for everyone to get together but also to "get away" to a quiet space, both indoors and outdoors. The hot tub was well used by some of us. Don't expect huge amounts of tourist attractions very close by, but that's part of it's charm, I can see why many people might barely leave the accommodation during the stay - it's so comfortable.

  • "My friends & I go away every year and we all agreed this was the best cottage to date."

    The house is beautiful and ticks all our key cottage boxes; hot tub (huge), real fire, close to country pubs (a short drive) country walks & ample sofas (the amount of places that don’t have enough sofas for the number of people they sleep is madness). It’s also dog friendly, there’s multiple bathrooms/toilets, even a mini garden with a beautiful fish pond (great for a morning coffee) in addition to the main. It’s quiet and we slept like logs. The main garden was also great for star gazing given little light pollution in the area (also great from the hot tub with a glass of fizz). Parking was also great as we have 4 cars which all easily fit on the guest drive. Whilst slightly tricky to find, once there it’s easy. The owners Michelle & Stephen are lovely and were quick to respond when we had a query, they couldn’t be any more helpful, plus provided welcome fizz & milk. We loved our weekend and have discussed returning, it was perfect.

  • "We booked this property at the last minute and somewhat spontaneously when my wife found it."

    It looked fantastic in the pictures and was even better in the flesh. Although it may not look large from the outside it is very extensive and has some really nice features. There were only three of us and the dog most of the time although the in-laws came for a few days too. There is plenty of space and rooms for everyone to have a bit of private time or to come together as you want. It is equipped with everything you may need and the owners couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. Personally I loved the courtyard for a spot of afternoon reading whilst watch the fish, but be warned it is a sun trap ! Our son loved the hot tub, which was lovely and big enough for all of us without feeling like we were sitting on top of each other - who needs a pool when you just want to relx in the water ? I cannot recommend the property enough, it is immaculate, tastefully furnished and immensely welcoming - you felt at home and comfortable as you walk through the door....I miss the courtyard already and we only left this morning !
