“The Barn is the best property we have stayed in by far - we didn't want to leave!”

Every comfort was considered by the owner, who was very welcoming. The Barn was spacious, very clean and furnished with style. We had lovely areas for our dogs, who were made very welcome (where some owners just tolerate dogs) We will definitely be going back!

Samuel August 2024

“The Barn was spacious & peaceful, very relaxing.”

The beds were very comfy with good quality linen. The paddock area for the dogs to run free was great! It’s an ideal place to get away from it all, but a car is definitely needed as the coast etc are at least an hour away as are most places of interest. Hosts were very helpful & obliging & made us feel very welcome during our stay

- Samuel, August 2024
Simon August 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at the Barn.”

The host was really welcoming and attentive. The Barn was stunning, well maintained and accurately described on the website. It’s really well kitted out, with very comfortable beds and everything you need in the kitchen. The hot tub was great and the grounds were lovely, great place to stay with dogs.

“PROS: The barn is a beautiful old house, with tons of rustic charm and character and the central atrium entrance is particularly stunning.”

It is quite large so plenty of space and we liked that the bedrooms were at opposite ends of the building ensuring privacy from the in laws who visited and stayed with us for 4 of our 7 night stay. The beds were super king and the bedding was really soft and comfortable. The private secured little garden is great for the dogs and there were a further 2 really lovely areas where the dogs could play. The kitchen was well equipped and the sofa and TV area very comfortable. The owner was helpful when we needed a fan in one of the rooms and she was also helpful in recommending some pubs and places to visit. There is a utility area with a ton of tourist information flyers and maps, which I found useful when planning days out. CONS: We found dog hair (not ours) all over the sofas and cobwebs in the ceilings on the wooden beams. Whilst we appreciate this is a old barn, this could have been easily rectified with a deeper clean between guests. The front door double height glass entrance had dozens of dead flies stuck to the glass :-(. The front entrance was also tired with weeds and piles of leaves which again could have been swept up and tidied between guests. My husband also didn't appreciate being 'told off' by the owner for using the wrong hoover to clean up sand from the back seat of our car :-(. The owner did in fact tell me that they weren't able to afford the rates of local cleaners so they have taken to cleaning the property themselves. The property is located in a quiet residential road but there is nothing else nearby other than residential properties. The nearest pub was several miles away, and there were no shops within walking distance. This means we needed to drive everywhere with quite considerable distances and times involved, i.e. a day trip to the north Norfolk coast was a 3 hour round trip! This was a big issue for us as we spent so much of our time driving but we do appreciate this was mostly our fault as we didn't sufficiently note the distances involved and we didn't quite appreciate how large Norfolk was (so not a criticism of The Barn or Sykes).

Carl December 2023

“The Barn is a superb conversion and the photo`s/description do not do this holiday cottage justice, great character, a good size and comfort with a lovely shared paddock for the dogs along with cleaning facilities.”

Only negative point would be occasional traffic noise through the night.

- Carl, December 2023
Simon December 2023

“Lovely property.”

Felt at home straight away. Perfect for a relaxing stay in the countryside and a good location for getting out to explore the rest of Norfolk. Nice small touches like games and chess board in the lounge, log fire, essentials for the kitchen, enclosed area for dog as well as more open garden areas and a big jacuzzi with candles etc. We had a great time.

Barry August 2023

“We enjoyed a lovely holiday at The Barn and managed to see all the delights of North Norfolk including Sandringham ( a must visit) which was delightful.”

As were Holt (definitely worth a visit as well as Blakeney, Ely Cathedral and on the recommendation of Karen and Stewart The Cutter for lunch followed by a boat trip on the river. Holcombe Hall and the beach are high on the list with a trip to Cambridge and a punt on the river not to be missed. Our holiday was made all that more special by the the property itself which in our view was five star reaching this level with the way in which our hosts Karen and Stewart made us so welcome with their tips, recommendations and conversations. Thanks to them both and best wishes for the future.

- Barry, August 2023
Nikki August 2023

“The Barn was an awesome place for a relaxing stay.”

Karen and Stuart are the perfect hosts and the Barn and garden are idyllic. It’s a perfect holiday with a dog (even our very young slightly troublesome one). He is sad now we are home and he doesn’t get to run round the paddock numerous times a day. We will all definitely be back soon

- Nikki, August 2023

The barn is absolutely beautiful in every way. Comfy bed (best sleep in a long time), double shower, roll top baths, spacious lounge/diner/kitchen, hot tub, private garden as well as use of the paddock for the dogs and of course, fresh duck eggs. We felt so at home and thoroughly enjoyed some R&R. We are looking forward to returning!

Karen the owner was lovely and gave a guided tour, hot tub was lovely and barn very quaint but a few cobwebs could have been cleared prior to visit overall 9/10

- Wendy, November 2018
Brian September 2018

“The Barn was a lovely place to use as a base for getting around the area.”

Coming back to comfortable accomodation and faciliates made our holiday complete.Karen and Stuart were great in providing us with information on what was available in the local areas, including the pub (dog friendly and a short walk). We had a dog with us and the bonus was the offer,from Karen to providing a dog sitting service, if we were to go out to places that did not allow dogs. Milly, our dog, made friends with Karen's pooches so even the dog had a great time. In all I would recommend this accomodation and what it has to offer as we had a very relaxing and chillout short holiday. Thanks you guys

- Brian, September 2018
Philip March 2018

“A lovely quiet location and an ideal place to bring the dogs.”

We had everything we needed and our wives really enjoyed the hot tub. The supermarket at Watton was just a few minutes drive away and was easy to get to. We were left alone to enjoy our holiday but Karen the owner lived on site and was always on hand if we had any problems or needed advice on the local area. We were met by Karen on arrival and shown around the premises and the outside dog walking areas. Karen went through all the rules and explained everything very clearly. Key collection and drop off was easy with Karen living on site. All in all a very pleasant short break and a venue I'm sure we will return to in the future.

- Philip, March 2018
Valerie February 2018

“This was a comfortable, warm and well equipped barn conversion.”

The thing that sets this holiday home apart from others, is the dog friendly welcome by the owners. There is a delightful garden and paddock directly accessible from the property, so you have no worries about taking your dog out. Although it is a dog friendly home, the standard of the accommodation is still very high, and the owners are very friendly and helpful.

- Valerie, February 2018
Beth November 2017

“The Barn was extremely well equipped.”

The Owner was charming and did everything to make sure we had a fantastic visit. I would most certainly recommend this property especially if you have dogs as it is very dog friendly, with an exercise paddock with jumps and equipment for your dog. Lovely property - shame about the November weather!

- Beth, November 2017
Jackie September 2017

“This place was clean, comfortable and a home from home.”

- Jackie, September 2017
Naomi July 2017

“This is my second visit to the area after staying at the dairy.”

The facilities for dogs is amazing and one of the main reasons I booked again but in the bigger property at Saham Hills. The only negative was the internet which comes and goes and is very limited.

- Naomi, July 2017
J June 2017

“Plenty of space, inside and out, private courtyard useful with a dog and all facilities you would need for the summer.”

Very comfortable beds.We would go again.

- J, June 2017

- Bryan, February 2016
Sarah October 2015

“The Barn is an absolutely beautiful cottage with a large amount of space for the dogs to move about in and relax.”

The paddock and meadow were great outside space to allow the dogs to run off some energy first thing in the morning. If you want a peaceful get away with owners who are completely dog friendly, helpful and relaxed in a beautiful cottage then I would highly recommend The Barn.

- Sarah, October 2015
Lorna May 2015

“The owner was a very welcoming host and very professional in her management of the cottages.”

The Barn was fabulous - I could live there - and it's very unusual to find such beautiful doggie friendly accommodation and grounds.

- Lorna, May 2015
Linda April 2015

“I think it was the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, the owner could not do enough for us.”

We loved the hot tub.

- Linda, April 2015
Mary April 2015

“The feeling of total relaxation.”

Not having to worry about your dog, walking was available on the spot in the fields without having to go out early to look for an ideal walking place. The owner was lovely, and having a hot tub was a bonus. I would highly recommend this place and don't worry if you have not got a dog there are no doggy smells in this cottage.

- Mary, April 2015
Tim December 2014

“The accommodation was incredibly family friendly, comfortable, stylish and located in a wonderful area.”

It was quiet and peaceful with enough place for the kids to stay busy and entertained. The owner was a great host; she made us feel very welcome from the start and allowed the kids to feed her chickens and ducks each day. It really is one of the very best places of this kind that we have stayed at and we will certainly visit again. We would recommend it unreservedly.

- Tim, December 2014
Paulo December 2014

“The wow factor was present at every step.”

The property was absolutely delightful; gorgeous furnishings, décor was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for the owner. A true dog holiday, the dogs were allowed everywhere and the addition of a paddock with a mini-agility course at the back, together with a privately fenced courtyard was the icing on the cake. Perfect Perfect Perfect, 5 Star.

- Paulo, December 2014
Steven November 2014

“An amazing property and the owner was absolutely wonderful in settling us in.”

Couldn't ask for a better place to stay in. It was perfect, will definitely return again.

- Steven, November 2014
Hazel November 2014

“The cottage and location was extremely dog friendly.”

We were made to feel very welcome and felt at home right away. It was clean and well presented and lots of things were provided to make sure our stay was busy and interesting. Our host was ever so nice.

- Hazel, November 2014
Teresa November 2014

“The space was very well thought out and comfortable.”

We had our own part of the garden and also easy access to a paddock for early morning doggy walks which was great. It is easily accessible to a great nursery which is next to Athony Gormley's house with one of his sculptures on the font approach and we also had a lovely Day in Holkham.

- Teresa, November 2014
Amy October 2014

“What a wonderful week we had in the barn!”

Our 8 year old daughter loved feeding the ducks chickens and our Labrador loved the paddock/agility course! We also enjoyed using the hot tub, the time reservation chalk board is a really good idea and worked out great. The inside is finished to a high standard and decorated beautifully. The owner was so nice and they have truly thought of everything for a carefree, doggie friendly stay. We hope to return someday.

- Amy, October 2014
Gareth October 2014

The best PET FRIENDLY holiday we have ever taken! The Barn was a magnificent home from home if not better. The hot tub was very relaxing, whilst enjoying a glass of wine or two. Will recommend to all family and friends who have a dog or two.

- Karen, July 2014
Linda June 2014

“The owners made us very welcome and were most helpful with local information.”

The property far exceeded our expectations, the kitchen was very well equipped to a high standard as was the rest of The Barn. The facilities for our dog were very good with an enclosed private garden and a safe enclosed paddock for her to run in. The Hot tub was spotlessly clean. We will book again.

- Linda, June 2014
Janet May 2014

“The owners were delightful and welcoming.”

Our accommodation in The Barn was superb with the added bonus of a jacuzzi next door that was amazing. The whole property was of an extremely high standard and spotlessly clean. Our two dogs were made to feel very at home, we highly recommend The Barn.

- Janet, May 2014
Scott April 2014

“It was really nice for myself and partner to get away for the week and spend some quality time together, the location was perfect and I couldn't fault it one bit and it was a great location to get engaged.”

The Barn at Saham Hills set a really nice scene.

- Scott, April 2014
Fiona April 2014

“Top quality décor, fixtures, fittings and furnishings.”

There were ample large and comfortable sofas in the lounge - a big plus as we were 4 for some of the days. The beds and bedding were gorgeously comfortable. Great quality towels and we each got a white M&S towelling robe! The hot tub was a real bonus and just such fun - in the stable, by candlelight, looking down the paddock at dusk, listening to the blackbird singing.

- Fiona, April 2014
Sandra March 2014

“Loved it all, the owners wonderful warm hospitality, and the luxury of the barn.”

The hot tub an added bonus, and the beautiful countryside of Norfolk. I'm recommending to everyone.

- Sandra, March 2014
Colin December 2013

“We all enjoyed the size of the Barn, the hot-tub, surrounding area and the welcoming nature from the owner.”

She made us comfortable, at ease and ensured we were allowed to have a good breakaway without enforcing any strenuous rules upon us.
