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.

Just as lovely as we remembered from our previous stay.

Hannah makes you feel very welcome and relaxed and her breakfasts are superb. Our room (Barn Owls) was lovely and spacious. We appreciated the large bathroom and walk-in shower as well as having the sofa space and a fridge. It is all lovely and clean and just so peaceful. We really enjoyed our break.

Gorgeous B&B in a lovely part of the country

We had a fantastic multi-generational stay at the Dairy Barns, everything was comfy and easy, we loved the split level room, which worked really well for 3 of us.

Very positive

Located in beautiful area. Lovely balance between very professional and local/family feel including accents. Very relaxing vibe. Nice example of farm diversification-eg repurposed complex of old buildings, ‘converted’ in appropriate manner/to high standard. Wonder if more could be made of accessible paths on farm?

Absolutely amazing, we will definitely visit again!

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The Owls Nest was so clean and comfortable. The set up was perfect and the breakfast was delicious! I have recommended it to everyone I have spoken to since I came home! Can’t wait to stay again.

A beautiful room, lovely host and amazing location

We can't recommend this place highly enough. Hannah is the most friendly and wonderful host, she can't do enough to help you and provide a really welcoming place to stay. The location is superb for the Norfolk coast and Broads, as well as perfect for seeing the seals at Horsey Gap. On top of that the room was spacious and comfortable, with a great breakfast to fill you up for the day.

Howes

Fantastic

Our room was beautiful - lovely linen and comfy beds, coffee machine, plenty of teas , large bathroom but most importantly lovely and clean. Staff at breakfast were so friendly and chatty. Loved the way our toddler was thought of before we arrived, little bed, bathroom step ! So refreshing to not have to ask for anything for once as all was provided! We were shocked also that on a 2 night stay somebody actually went in and put new towels, new cups , made our beds! Never expected that! Wonderful!
