Lovely cottage for two. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Ideal location for base - everything approx 20 - 30 minutes easy drive away. We visited Blickling estate, Sandringham, Cromer, Wells by the Sea, Holt, Walsingham and went seal watching at blakeney point Hot tub was great to relax in after a busy day. Shame the village pub had closed down would have been nice to walk to for food in the evening but is currently to let and may open in the future. Would definitely recommend squirrel barn and would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at Squirrel barn. A peaceful location with dog friendly facilities. The barn has a lovely spacious, wooden beam high ceiling bedroom and modern amenities and enclosed private garden. Easy access to shops and north coast seaside towns including Sheringham and Wells on Sea. The owners were friendly and made us feel welcomed. We would definitely recommend.
