About this property

Barn Owls Retreat @ Dairy Barns

Barn Owls Retreat has a fabulous upstairs bedroom on open plan gallery where you can lay in your super king sized bed looking up to the stars, Downstairs there is a spacious lounge with comfy sofa and flat screen TV/DVD player. You’ll love the stylish, convenient and easy-to-use Nespresso coffee machine – we think it produces an almost perfect cup of coffee, along with a good sized fridge to chill your wine and nibbles.

The bathroom has been fully refurbished this year, it is incrediably spacious and has an excellent large power shower and separate oval bath with ample fluffy towels, robes and luxury toiletries. Along with a double sink and mirror with in built blue tooth speakers

In addition there is a day bed in the downstairs area with a second pull out bed underneath so its great for a family getaway. You have your own front door for complete privacy and a private court yard garden. The room has a fridge and glasses in case you want to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne. As an extra treat If you would like to have breakfast in your room we will happily bring a full English breakfast or homemade waffles to your door for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own lounge or maybe outside in the early morning sunshine on the deck in your own little garden.
Based down a quiet country lane with views across farm land to the sea the Dairy Barns is a purpose designed red brick barn conversation locatated on our family farm with a selection of 6 lovely rooms and 3 extra special rooms with a stunning main breakfast barn and coastal themed lounge. Take a closer look….

Our 6 rooms, all on the ground floor – Dahlia, Norfolk Lavender, Red Poppy, Sunrise, Seaside and King fisher – each beautifully colour-themed. They are very comfortable, spacious, well-equipped, and all come with those important little finishing touches such as homemade cake and fresh milk on arrival, toiletries,delightful fresh flowers and of course television and well stocked hot drinks tray. They all en-suite with shower cubicle and luxury towels and have wonderfully comfy twin or super king size beds with crisp linen and cosy, pretty duvets. We often host large family groups and several of our rooms can also accommodate children.

Take a look at our Extra Special Rooms for that extra hint of luxury and additional space – perfect for that special occasion or if you just want to treat yourselves! Each is completely self-contained with a lounge area with TV, comfy sofa and dining table, luxury bathroom with fluffy towels, robes and luxury toiletries provided and all have super king size bed and each has doors leading onto their own private courtyard garden.

All have their own front door for complete privacy and are very special places to stay. All have a kettle so you can make a cup of tea or hot chocolate, Nespresso Machine and of course a fridge and glasses in case you want to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne. We can even bring you breakfast in bed.

For guests with limited mobility or wheelchair users, Kingfisher is ideal, with wider doorways and a large wet room style en-suite with shower seat. However, if you have specific needs please don’t hesitate to contact us.

A lovely few days enhanced by the amazing friendly attitude of the staff
The Barn Owl’s retreat was a lovely room which was perfect for our wedding anniversary celebration. The location was excellent offering a good choice of places to eat and activities to enjoy within a short drive. The staff could not have been more accommodating and recommended places for us to visit and helped us get the most from our short break away.

Lovely little break for the family
The room was beautiful and bright, everything you need is on arrival. Small fridge so you can hold some of your own essentials. The bathroom was very big and my little girls loved the bath. You get all the little extras incase you want a take away in your room. Breakfast is held in a lovely barn with a nice set up where you can help yourself to cold drinks and cereal and your hot food and drink gets brought out to you. The food was perfect. Would definitely stay again! Thankyou for having us!

Very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.
Dairy Barns is in a lovely area and we would have been happy to stay longer. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. We had requested a vegan and gluten-free breakfast which was no problem. The breakfast was good and Hannah’s Mum even made us waffles from scratch. We enjoyed the super sized bed and the spacious, warm and comfortable accommodation.

Very welcoming and great accommodation for a family.
This was our second visit and it did not disappoint, such a lovey welcome and perfect accommodation for a family of four. Our girls loved the horses too and it’s very near to Horsey so you can see the seals (from a distance on the dunes - no need to get any nearer). The only thing which could be improved is the installation of an electric car charger, although we could do a slow charge overnight so it wasn’t really a problem.

Excellent! Lovely spacious room, delicious breakfast and a warm friendly welcome!
A lovely comfortable room to return to after a day out, the cake on arrival was a sweet touch to have with the tea and coffee selection in the room. The breakfast choice was very good ..the waffles with fruit were delicious. A real feast to start the day with and delivered to my room by friendly, smiley staff. Dairy Barns is well situated to go and explore this lovely county. So much to see. I look forward to coming here again and so pleased I found you. Thank you Hannah and your staff.
