Elizabeth December 2023

“The accommodation is lovely, exactly as described in the details.”

It was warm and had everything we needed. The owner introduced herself on arrival day so good communication and left a welcome pack to make a drink and biscuits. I would further like to had that this property is suitable for people with limited mobility being all on one level and spacious.

Angie June 2023

“Lovely quiet location.”

Access is down a short single track lane but very quiet as we didn't encounter another vehicle during our weeks stay. Barn was spotless, right down to shiny clean cutlery, immaculate fridge/freezer & shiny taps. Spacious & light accommodation. Beds were excellent. Linen & towels excellent quality. Shared courtyard but both properties were well screened. Had a warm welcome from Jane the owner....the only negatives we encountered during our stay were lots of flies ( but a fly swat is provided ), which is just down to it's country location. And the no smoking, which also applied to our outside courtyard seating area. Although it was advertised as a no smoking property, maybe it should also include the fact that there is also no smoking allowed in your garden area. I only mention this as a negative as my elderly Father smokes a pipe & missed sitting outside in the early morning, having a cuppa & a puff of his pipe. That is just personal to our stay & may not affect the majority of other parties staying at the accommodation.

- Angie, June 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. We do experience a few flies at certain times of the year eg extremely hot weather, harvest time - all part and parcel of living in the countryside. I acknowledge your specific comment about no smoking in the courtyard, put in place for the comfort of all guests. However, we would have been pleased to try and sort something out for your father during your stay. Property Owner
Cathy June 2023

“The Stables is a peaceful and beautiful location.”

We had a lovely week exploring the area. The coast is within easy reach and there are many National Trust properties to to enjoy. We did love coming back to the peace and quiet of the property for a cup of tea in the pretty courtyard . The owners live next door and were very helpful and friendly. We would love to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Saria March 2023

“Lovely place to stay, couldn’t fault anything!”

It was larger than the pictures show and was spotlessly clean. We had everything we could need and in a lovely quiet area of Norfolk. All the places we wanted to visit were accessible from the property. We came away wanting to come back as soon as we left.

- Saria, March 2023

Stephen May 2022

“An excellent cottage in a very accessible location.”

Close to the coast and very interesting towns and villages. Hosts were always available and live next door. Lounge chairs a bit over-used and the mattress was very soft (personal choice, prefer harder). I would use it again.

- Stephen, May 2022

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in The Stables and thank you for your feedback. Property Owner
Michael April 2022

Nireka December 2021

“A superb experience throughout, all of the customer services was faultless from start to finish, excellent communication with both the reservation service and property owners.”

Stables offered us with everything we wished for to enjoy our holiday over Christmas. The property was very comfortable, well kitted out and exceptionally clean. Would highly recommend for a family retreat/gateway.

- Nireka, December 2021
Joyce October 2021

“The Stables was a lovely place to stay.”

Perfect to come home to after a day exploring the villages and coast. It is surrounded by good places to eat out but has everything you need to cook for yourselves. The owner was very kind in letting us use the washer/dryer in another property as ours was waiting for parts to repair it. This was very helpful. We loved the stables and will certainly return .

- Joyce, October 2021
Jeni September 2021

“This cottage was immaculate.”

The attention to cleanliness was exceptional. When staying at cottages with beams you expect a few cobwebs high up but there was not even a cobweb in sight. Our little Granddaughter lost one of her toys down the sofa and on removing the cushions to get it we found not even so much as a crumb! Many other cottage owners could learn a lot from the owners of this one! It was in a beautiful, peaceful location. There was plenty of cutlery and crockery and although the photo on the website showed only 2 dining chairs there was 4. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

- Jeni, September 2021
Joan September 2021

“Lovely barn conversation completed to a very high standard.”

It is well equipped and very clean throughout. The stables is in a nice rural setting but is within driving distance of all of the local attractions and beaches. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

- Joan, September 2021
Gavin August 2021

“The perfect choice!”

The stables was presented to a high standard, with plenty of space. A peaceful setting and use of the tennis court when wanted made for a great holiday. A call from the owners before we arrived to check all was OK, as well as friendly and helpful during the stay. Highly recommended.

- Gavin, August 2021
Louise July 2021

“Beautiful place loved every minute”

- Louise, July 2021
Alan June 2021

“Lovely accommodation in a nice setting, peaceful and rural.”

Jane and James the owners have create a family holiday let to a very high standard. We enjoyed our stay with family and very lucky with the weather. Our only negative would be the duvet was a 13.5 tog when summer temperatures hit but due to Covid-19 we didn't ask for an alternative we thought Jane had done everything she could in line with government regulations. Would recommend the Stables. Many thanks for a wonderful stay the Heaton family.

- Alan, June 2021
Maria June 2021

“We were pleased with the space in the barn.”

.2 bedrooms 2 large bathrooms.Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Setting was down a country lane..lots of wildlife like deer seen Thank you and plan to be back next year.

- Maria, June 2021
Susan May 2021

“Everything was as advertised, the accommodation was super clean and very comfortable.”

Due to the dreadful weather we couldn’t use the outside space at all but I imagine that would have added a further relaxing dimension to this cottage. I would recommend the Stables .

- Susan, May 2021
Victoria May 2021

- Mandy, October 2020
Victoria October 2020

“Despite not being sent the correct key number to gain entrance to the property we thoroughly enjoyed this quiet and relaxing stay.”

The owners were helpful and considerate and the cottage itself was superb. It was a comfortable and and peaceful stay with everything we visited generally within half an hour's drive. We enjoyed it so much we have booked for May!

- Victoria, October 2020
Sue September 2020

“We have just returned from a lovely relaxing week at the stables.”

The weather wasn’t very kind to us but the accommodation was warm and cosy. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. My elderly parents were worried about slipping in the shower but no problem, we were provided with a non slip bath mat straight away. We would definitely return to the stables and highly recommend it.

- Sue, September 2020
Helen September 2020

“Lovely barn conversion, very comfy.”

Despite all the restrictions of the Covid19 pandemic, the Stables lived up to a very high standard we have come to expect from Sykes Cottages. In a quiet and secluded position yet quite central to reach all of the areas of interest. Loved the courtyard where we were able to sit in the evening. Would recommend

- Helen, September 2020
Brian August 2020

“The accommodation was beautiful - stylish and clean.”

The owners couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming both before and during our stay. They responded quickly to all our queries and requests. The location was rural and peaceful. Whilst it isn't on the coast, it is conveniently located to visit all the places of interest. 2 members of our party were golfers and the location was ideal for the range of clubs they played at. We highly recommend The Stables.

- Brian, August 2020
David December 2019

Michael November 2019

“The Stables is a wonderful holiday home with excellent facilities and exceptionally clean and tidy.”

It is off the beaten track so may not be for everyone but we found it easy to get around Norfolk from there.

- Michael, November 2019
Jaime October 2019

“The standard of this property was excellent.”

It's normally a challenge to find a cottage with a hot shower, comfy bed and well equipped kitchen with everything you need, but this ticked all the boxes and then some. The owners were helpful and welcoming and the location, although rural is not more than half an hour away from local places of interest. Would not hesitate in recommending the Stables, or returning ourselves!

- Jaime, October 2019

- Harriet, September 2019
Stephen September 2019

“The owners Jane and James gave us a warm welcome, were friendly and helpful throughout.”

About the location

WILLOW GRANGE BARNS, STANFIELD

Fakenham 8.4 miles, Holt 13.6 miles, Wells-next-the-sea 17.7 miles, Norwich 22.2 miles

Willow Grange Barns are situated a mile from the main village of Stanfield, a small quiet Norfolk village and centrally located for country routes that provide a gateway to many of Norfolk’s attractions. The nearest village shop / post office is less than 2 miles away in Mileham. Once an important centre on the east to west route across Norfolk - as evidenced by the remains of a 12th century motte and bailey castle. Brisley offers the nearest village pub / restaurant 2.5 miles distant. A little further afield are Litcham and North Elmham offering village pubs, shops and a tea room. For a full range of shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities, head to either; Dereham, a market town, home to the ‘Mid-Norfolk Railway’ and easy access to the A47 or; Fakenham, with a regular Thursday market / country auction sale and a National Hunt racecourse. The nearby Gressenhall Museum offers you a fascinating journey through the story of rural Norfolk. A real working farm and the opportunity to step back in time and browse around an old village shop, school and cottage, is a great family experience. Houghton Hall, which regularly holds art exhibitions and cultural events is also close by. Pensthorpe Natural Park is a must-see whilst in the area, boasting a 700-acre reserve and conservation park with interactive trails and eco play areas providing something for both children and adults to enjoy. Take time to discover the Norfolk coastline, seaside towns, quaint villages and fantastic beaches. Wells-next-the-sea and nearby Holkham are two of the best and Wells is an interesting place to visit all-year round, with its range of shops, cafes and award winning fish & chips overlooking the harbour. No trip to Norfolk would be complete without spending a day in the historic and fine City of Norwich with its Norman Castle, Cathedrals (Anglican and Catholic), medieval market place, antiquated shopping lanes, art galleries and theatres. Within easy travelling distance from Stanfield you can explore the Broads National Park, Thetford Forest, Sandringham House, Blickling Hall, Cromer Pier and the historic maritime town of King’s Lynn.
