This is the 2nd time my girlfriends & I have stayed at willow barn, we had a fabulous time, Avril (chef2dine4) cooked us a fabulous BBQ & we had the bottomless cocktail horsebox which was amazing. Thanks Debbie , a truly wonderful stay in one of your barns.

Lovely big barn, clean and plenty of room to host a large family gathering. Having all ensuites means everyone gets their own space. Garden was lovely and big and hot tub was an added bonus! Host was lovely and so helpful. Short drive to lovely places like Wroxham and Horning. We can't wait to stay again! :)

Willow Barn is a great place to stay, good location. Hot tub was an added bonus.Well equipped with plenty of cooking facilities. Very practical garden for the children to run around in. One thing that would be a good idea is a key safe, as being a group of 11, we all didn’t want to go out always together, so whoever was back first would be able to access the key and not have to wait until someone else would return. Would recommend Willow Barn, hope to return at some point.
