The Little Barn was excellent for what we needed for a few days. Only issue was the unfenced garden and pillows but otherwise it was comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and onsite. Situated in a lovely quiet area close to many attractions, especially the Norfolk Broads. Would definitely recommend!
