Confirmed Guest
The Old Barn was perfect for our Norfolk getaway. It's close to the coast/beach, just a 10-15 minute walk, the local Bakers is great and it's close to Cromer (15 minute drive). The Old Barn itself is very well equipped and very comfortable. Would certainly consider using it again for another Norfolk getaway.

Lovely cottage, great location. It was a very spacious cottage, it was nice & clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the equipment you could need.The only “ negative” comment I have is that 3 of the bedrooms did not have mirrors in them, this is just a small thing & it would not stop me booking again.
