Swan Lodge Barns is an ideal set up for a great family holiday. Because you are in two barns it enable families to have bit of space from each other whilst still being able to socialise and eat together. We hit the jackpot with the weather and all felt like we had a truly relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

We had Taylors and Bixies Barns for our family Christmas - ten adults (one who uses a wheelchair most of time) three children (one a baby) and two dogs. The barns met all our varying needs, they are spacious and in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. We had a lovely time.

Swan Lodge Barns is set in a beautiful part of North Norfolk and has been perfect for a winter visit. We had a wonderful long weekend enjoying the local area with long walks and lunch at a local pub. The Barns are very warm with underfloor heating and welcoming and they have a lovely ambiance, providing lots of space and seating for a family group Read moreyet they also have a cosy feel with big sofas and a wood burning stove. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is plenty of storage space as well as a wine cooler! We loved coming here for a second visit! Hide

We came to these properties to celebrate my 50th birthday. The photos of the properties do not do this place justice. We stayed in Taylors Barn and Bixies Barn with 12 people and both were beautiful. The property is very private and accommodates 6 people in each very comfortably with the dining area in Taylors Barn more than big enough for 12 peoRead moreple to dine. The properties have everything you would need in the kitchens to cater to every kind of meal. There is also plenty of space for cars (we had 6 cars parked). Its only a 5 minute drive into the village and there is a big supermarket in the village if you need anything. The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable but note that one room in each barn has 2 beds quite close together, great for kids. The lounge area is also very comfortable and all 12 of us had a seat. I really cannot recommend this place enough and hope to come back again and again. All of the people were so friendly to deal with including the owner and happily responded to WhatsApp to quick questions. With the keys being on a key code it's easy to manage getting into the properties. We felt very safe, very comfortable and very happy. I would also highly recommend Chef To Home (Eniko) if you are looking for a chef to come in and cook for you. Also outstanding. Hide

Secluded and very comfortable barns, but close to all the local highlights - Holt, Beaches at Salthouse, Cley, Blakeney, Holkham and Sheringham. Ideal properties for two familes, or a group of friends to share.
