About this property

Once a Cattle Barn, now Spacious Luxury Accommodation!

Recently refurbished and offering spacious and interesting accommodation for either two families or large parties of friends to enjoy.

DOG OWNERS - We warmly welcome one or two well-behaved furry friends, but please do not make an instant booking if you have more than two dogs. Instead, please message us and let us know about your dog companions and we will consider whether we can accommodate. Please familiarise yourselves with our pet rules.

The Old Barn is ideally situated for a number of pursuits including walking, bird watching, beach activities, or as a base from which to explore all that the North Norfolk Coast has to offer.

The White Horse is our local village pub, recently refurbished and offering a great selection of food and drinks. They have also recently opened a bakery in the neighbouring barn! Whether you want breakfast, pastries, coffee or cakes at the bakery, or sandwiches, lunch and evening meals at the pub; they have you covered. It's also a lovely stroll to the pub and back; just far enough, but not too far if you know what we mean! We regularly stop there on our walk to the beach.

Only 2 miles from Thornham in one direction or Hunstanton in the other and 8 miles from Burnham Market. Ringstead, with the great Gin Trap Pub, is also less than a couple of miles away. Sandringham is also just a short drive away too, as is Holkham; both with a regular events and activities for the whole family.

Huntstanton has a Tesco Superstore, as well as a Sainsburys and many other interesting shops. There is also an enormous Lidl located on the coast road at Heacham, which is really good and something we use a lot. But in this day and age, it is probably just as well to get your groceries delivered by Tesco/Sainsburys and save on room for packing.

Several of the take away restaurants in Hunstanton will deliver to the Old Barn, so there isn't any need to venture out if you don't fancy it and don't fancy cooking. Our favourite curries come from The Spice Garden at Heacham and they are happy to deliver too. We collect our Chinese food from Silk Road, next to the BP Garage at Heacham. This is a very good restaurant which also caters for take aways.

When the weather isn't playing ball and you have young children to entertain, it is worth considering the Oasis centre (Swimming) at Hunstanton, or Farmer Fred's Play Barn at Heacham. Not forgetting 10 Pin Bowling at the Hunstanton Pier, arcades and Sea Life Centre (all at Hunstanton).

ELECTRIC CARS:
Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug. This is not permitted because of fire regulations regarding wiring, earthing rods and voltage restrictions; it poses a serious fire risk to standard 13 amp sockets and there is a real danger that the body of the vehicle could become live. There is no EV Charging point at the property and if you have an EV, you will need to charge it elsewhere. Use of electricity to charge cars is not included in the rental price.

About the host

Hosted by David Johnson

Host profile image
We are a young family and purchased the The Old Barn, Holme, in 2006. We carried out a completed refurbishment and modernisation and continue to make little changes here and there every year. We live near Stamford and travel regularly to The Old Barn to escape work and immerse ourselves in the sheer beauty of all that the North Norfolk coast has to offer.

In 2007 we also bought two properties next to the beach at South Beach, Heacham. We thought these would be perfect for our children to grow up around and play by the beach in the traditional way.

Why they chose this property

We scoured properties for sale from Heacham to Wells, but The Old Barn stood out as having so much light and airy space and a large enclosed garden, that made not buying it very difficult indeed. It is superbly located for children's activities as well as those for adults. The estate agents words to us were 'don't go too far round the coast, as this area is where all the action is.' SOLD!

What makes this property unique

The Old Barn has four generous bedrooms and enough showers and wc's that two families can share without getting in each others way. But the best bit for us is the huge living spaces and the lovely log burner. As soon as we unpack we walk to the beach for some sea air and then stop off at the local pub on the way back for a real ale. Perfect.
