About this property
Bishop's Barn, seals, seaside walks and The Broads National Park
Built in the early 1900s as a stable block and tractor shed, the barn has been redesigned by a local architect with modern living and comfort in mind whilst retaining original beams. Sitting in it's own wrap around garden with views onto the fields the barn has an open plan living room with a log burner for cosy nights inside whilst the sun drenched patio offers the ideal spot for alfresco dining or watching the sun go down. A grassed lawn stretching the length of the stable block links with a second patio off the master bedroom suite. It offers plenty of space to relax and unwind all year round. You may spot the local barn owls, bats circling over the garden in the evenings, geese migrating across the skies or muntjac and deer roaming the fields. The barn is situated in the small peaceful hamlet of Runham with a shop and 2 pubs approximately 2 miles away in neighboring villages. From the barn take a gentle walk down to the River Bure across open fields for a picnic or a 20 minute walk along the country roads will lead you to Thrigby Wildlife Gardens. In the village there is a small children's playground and village green. Empty roads and the odd gentle hill makes cycling easy and pleasurable for all abilities. The expansive unspoilt sandy beaches of Caister await 5 miles away for swimming , sand castles and seal spotting, while boat hire on the broads is just 3 miles. Please note that the barn has 2 open steps between the dining area and main living space and a step in the master bedroom. In addition, it does not have hand rails in either of the bathrooms.

Property was perfect for a weekend in Norfolk. The village is very quiet and only a 10min drive to shops/cafes. We made full use of the firepit and bbq and the table tennis table was a nice bonus!
Thank you for an excellent stay. Toys and books for baby, cakes and bread on arrival, and advice about things to do in the area were gratefully received.
We had a wonderful stay in Bishop's Barn. The Barn itself has been renovated to a high standard and was extremely well equipped.It is in the perfect location for exploring the Norfolk Broads and surrounding areas such as Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Gorleston.The welcome hamper was amazing and we really enjoyed the homemade bread and cakes along with the prosecco and apple juice in addition to some everyday essentials.
Beautiful spacious property with everything you need to have a perfect stay. It was lovely to meet Viv after prior contact with her. Her communication was second to none.
What a fantastic little find! Such a well equipped rental, feels like a real home from home. Super clean and super nice hosts. Thanks for a great week.
Clean, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Brilliant welcome pack, dietary requirements catered for. A fantastic stay with lots of cycling and plenty of,places to visit. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.
We had a wonderful time staying at Bishop’s Barn, we hope to return in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone else. Viv is an excellent host - before arriving she sent us extremely helpful information that allowed us to plan our trip and the house was spotless and very well equipped. Thank you for everything!
The Barn was perfect. Everything I needed was available. The place was spotless and I felt very much at home. There was a lovely hamper waiting with goodies in, including my favourite Prosecco. The location was in easy reach of Hemsby and Yarmouth as my son wanted to go to the arcades. The host always responded quickly to messages and was within easy reach if I needed anything. I’m now going to make this my favourite place to stay when we want a few days near the arcade. Thank you Viv.
We have stayed at many self catering locations, many are average but Bishops Barn is by far the best we have stayed in. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Attention to detail all the added extras make you feel so welcome.Keith and Diana
Such a beautiful property and gardens, in a lovely location. The host has been sooooo thoughtful in equipping the property and providing welcome treats. I cannot recommend highly enough - it's even good value for the price!
Beautiful barn in a beautiful setting. Fully equipped with everything you could need and more! Very thoughtful welcome hamper with homemade bread! Would highly recommend and would stay again. The ping pong table was a hit with our children.
We had a wonderful stay, the barn is beautifully renovated and the welcome basket and cakes on arrival were a real treat.
The toys and games were a real hit with our boys and the recommendations of things to do in the local area were spot on.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book again
