  • Countryside barn conversion for two, just 2 miles from the Broads
  • Wonderful master bedroom with super-king-size bed and countryside views
  • Spacious garden with outdoor lounge suite
Property code: OC-1956

This gorgeous and spacious barn conversion has plenty of room in which to unwind, making it an exceptionally relaxing countryside retreat for two. Located amidst rural tranquillity and luxuriously appointed, the barn has lost none of its character and offers plenty of creature comforts within. Outside, relax in the garden, put your feet up and enjoy listening to the sound of the birds while soaking up the atmosphere. Surrounded by some of the county’s best attractions, not least The Broads National Park, the east coast beaches and the cultural city of Norwich there’s plenty to see and do in the area. There are numerous designated cycling routes and quiet country lanes to discover too but, if you want to do nothing more than amble with your four legged friends to the beautiful bluebell wood at Sisland Carr, then this is the perfect place from which to start.

Sisland is a small, peaceful hamlet that offers the peace and tranquillity of rural living whilst being within easy reach of the numerous attractions that Norfolk and Suffolk have to offer. The Broads National Park with 125 miles of inland waterways and channels is nearby, hire a boat, go on a canoe nature safari or find a riverside bank for the perfect picnic setting. Sisland Carr, the beautiful Woodland Trust bluebell wood is a short walk away from the barn and there are plenty of cycle routes around the area too. Being not far from the Norfolk/Suffolk border, there are plenty of charming market towns to discover – Beccles, which is set on the River Waveney, is just a short drive away and the ideal place from which to hire a boat. The east-coast beaches of Norfolk are within easy reach, sandy and under-populated even in the summer, they are a great discovery. The beach at Winterton-on-Sea is dog-friendly all year, as is Happisburgh with its 18th Century lighthouse. Norwich, the capital of the county, is well worth a visit with its two Cathedrals, Castle Museum, galleries, award-winning restaurants and, of course, theatres and cinemas too.

We absolutely adored this holiday accommodation . The information provided on-site was first rate, and the few questions we did have were answered by the really helpful owner. Having EV charging available on-site at such a reasonable rate was a big plus. The chalet was spotless, very well appointed, and really roomy with all mod-cons.

The garden was clean & tidy and perfect for our dog to lounge around in (with secure fencing all around) while we relaxed on the very comfortable patio furniture. There was even an electric BBQ, and we had fabulous weather so used it throughout the stay. The bed is HUGE and very comfortable, and there was plenty of wardrobe / drawer space. We are definitely coming back! Hide

The property is in an amazing location. Very quiet. The host is so helpful and a real pleasure to meet. The property is a well appointed self catering facility. Any potential visitors must be aware that due to the properties location, a vehicle is required to go anywhere.

The place has an electric vehicle charger which was an added bonus and a key factor to us choosing this place. The charger was always available when I required it.

What a superb place to stay. We have stayed in many cottages over the years with our dogs and this is the only one that is EXACTLY as described. A spotless clean, peaceful place to stay which was equipped to the highest standard, for both humans and dogs ! We cannot thank the owners enough for a wonderful stay. Great location, with lovely walks froRead morem the Barn itself ,or good walks a little further afield if you want to explore. We have had a much needed restful week and enjoyed watching the barn owl and woodpecker from the patio ,good walks both locally and a little further a field and excellent food at the Kings Head,Brooke as recommended by the owners. We hope to be back very soon. Hide
