About this property

Converted barn in quiet rural location.

Canfers is barn is ideal for a short break and in a perfect location for exploring the North Norfolk coastline and for visiting some excellent North Norfolk restaurants, pubs or cafes.

The Barn is an old cart shed and stables that were completely restored in 2009 to become an ideal base for exploring the beautiful North Norfolk Coast. Canfers Barn is within the Home Farm and situated within our farmland which offers some stunning walks, abundant with birds and wildlife. Canfers is open all year round for short breaks or longer holidays. Canfers is situated in the quiet village of Briningham, 4 miles from the renowned Georgian market town of Holt and 7 miles from Blakeney. It is in an ideal position for exploring the North Norfolk coast - close enough to reach easily and not too close to be too busy. A well behaved dog is more than welcome at Canfers Barn. Extra dogs may be allowed at the discretion of the owner and usually at a small additional charge. Private walking is allowed on the Home Farm. Maps within the property for your use. The barn has a sunny terrace and a large garden. Please note that the garden is completely fenced in. There is ample, off road parking.

What a lovely greeting cake and a kind note and spotlessly clean was lovely to be able to have the log burner on in an evening with endless supply of logs. Really glad we found the property and will be back

A lovely rural retreat set in super surroundings, ideal for a short holiday and close to so many places and sites of interest. The property was ideal for our needs and very dog friendly having an enclosed garden area. The property was generally very clean although having a high vaulted roof. there were spiders aplenty.

Dear Martin I am very glad you enjoyed your stay at Canfers. I am sorry about the spiders - I do my very best to keep on top of them - but am up against it at this time of the year particularly when the doors and windows are open much of the time. I do hope you might visit Canfers or one of our other properties again. Kind regards Victoria

Canvers

Well appointed conversion very well done very roomy spacious rooms. The description of quiet did not really apply as the shade in the garden was near a noisy Road noticeable when out in the garden. Very much appreciated lemon drizzle cake welcomed us. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

I am sorry you were disturbed by the road. Nobody has ever complained about it before. It is only a B road and is speed limited to 40mph, as it runs through the village. I am glad that you enjoyed the rest of the property and your stay with us and would happily welcome you again at Canfers or one of our other properties. Best wishes. Victoria

Great property and location

The barn is just perfect for visiting all the lovely attractions on the North Norfolk coast. This was our second visit to North Norfolk and we were very happy with this times choice of property and location. Vicki the host was very responsive to emails and the property was as described, she even included a very nice welcome pack that included her homemade marmalade and lemon drizzle cake. We will return in the future?

We loved our stay- perfect!

We loved our stay at Canifer Barns, we are regular visitors to Norfolk for holidays but usually camp. This time we wanted a more comfortable stay due to having a 5 month old puppy. Canifers was perfect in every way. Fab location which meant we were 20 min from most of the beaches we frequent, plus holt which we also love. The garden was enclosed and perfect for our pup. Everything was clean and we have a lovely welcome pack with delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake! We had everything we needed - we won’t want to go back to camping now we have stayed somewhere so great!

Energy renewing

Beautiful, spacious place for the week and much needed time away from it all. Quiet, with everything you could need and more. Enough woods to create a cosy fire each evening, well stocked kitchen and the most comfortable bed! North Norfolk is a stunning place, the property is so well located that most places are never more than 15-30 minutes away. Would love to come back next year. Thank you for the wonderful lemon drizzle cake! Elaine & Mark

Best yet.

I can honestly say this property gave the most spacious accommodation for two adults that we have ever had. Nothing was wanting so found the stay very relaxing. Lovely secure garden for our dog which is very rare so yet another bonus.

Wonderful stay

Canfers Barn was a delight to stay in- the perfect location for exploring North Norfolk, spotlessly clean and with everything we could need for our break. The lounge was very comfortable and spacious for relaxing in after a long day out and about, and the large garden was lovely to sit out with a cuppa and enjoy a game of ball with the dog. The welcome goodies were a lovely touch (and very tasty!). Thoroughly enjoyed our break here, would highly recommend.

Canfers Barn

This is a great place to stay and in a great position for exploring the beautiful Norfolk coast. Its clean,quiet and also if you have a dog it has a fenced garden which is very useful. It's just what we were looking for and next time we are in the area we will definitely try and stay here again. Also the homemade lemon cake was delicious

A fantastic getaway!

Tucked away in a scenic location, the barn offered a peaceful escape from regular life. The barn itself is even more generous in size and quality of facilities than the pictures let on, and our breath was taken away when we arrived. The owners had made sure we felt welcomed and there was nothing more we could want. We enjoyed our stay there so much that it quickly felt like a home-away-from-home, and it was a pleasure to wake up there each morning and come back each evening. We enjoyed cooking our own meals there, and self-catering is certainly the way to go! The kitchen was very well supplied with equipment, and the utilities were in perfect working order. Everything had been thought of and we were left wanting for nothing. The location, although rural, is within convenient travelling distance to many interesting places, and even though we were there in the off-season we found many exciting places to go and explore. The coast itself, and the lovely seaside town of Wells-Next-The-Sea is a short 20 minute drive away! Neither of us can rate this place highly enough, it was absolutely wonderful! A perfect holiday for me and my girlfriend to celebrate 9 years together - and to get engaged! My fiancee and myself could not have been happier with our fantastic time at Canfers Barn!
