Runham sits in a unique landscape under the big open skies that Norfolk is so famous for and its location close to the east coast beaches and within The Broads National Park, means that you have the best of both worlds on your doorstep. The area is relatively flat and makes fantastic cycling country, try your hand at The Broads Explorer loop. The coast hosts some beautiful sandy beaches; Winterton-on-Sea and Horsey are less than 20 minutes away. At Horsey get up close and personal with the resident seal colony and if you are visiting in the winter, the seal pups will melt your heart. The Broads National Park boasts 125 miles of inlets and waterways to explore, seek out the Canoe Man who will take you in a kayak to explore some of the quieter reaches of the river systems – a perfect escape from your everyday world, or enjoy a guided wildlife trip on a larger boat at nearby Horsey Mere. Car enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to Caister Castle Car Collection in the summer months, one of the largest privately owned collections in the country. The children will enjoy taking to the raised walkways at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens for a unique view of its Asian animal inhabitants or an outing to the resident Hippodrome Circus in Great Yarmouth. For walkers, Weaver’s Way is easily accessible with plenty of circular routes within it. Spoilt for choice, this is a great part of Norfolk, come and discover it for yourself, you won’t regret it.

Cleanliness was exceptional and I have very high standards! Extremely well equipped, furnished to a high standard even a Chesterfield dog bed! Everything needed including a very generous welcome pack comfortably enough for a weekend stay. Very comfortable quality furnishings, comfortable beds - fussy pillow person was very impressed! Lovely locatioRead moren with a very well kitted out garden for relaxing, brilliant parking, beautiful walks very nearby for our dog. Short drive to coast and good restaurants. Owners definitely thought of everything needed for a top class stay even down to an "honesty" cabinet for souvenirs/additional goodies which was so helpful for purchasing a gift for our neighbour. Would highly recommend and will book again. Hide

Gorgeous property with stunning interior kitted out with everything you could need. Beautiful local walks through fields. The main issue is the floors are exceptionally creaky and as the bedrooms are downstairs if anyone walks upstairs it is very, very loud banging.

The property was in very good condition as was all the facilities. The downside for us was it was remote which we did not pick up on when booking.

Chestnut barn is in a great location for visiting the Broads and has nice local walk from the property which is great for dog walks. The property is comfortable, spacious and very well equipped. Pub in neighbouring village (The Ferry Inn at Stokesby) is good and also has a good deli/cake/chocolate shop.

We enjoyed our stay at Chestnut barn. It's in a lovely rural location and has some great pubs a short drive away. Barn was clean and had plenty of appliances/crockery etc if you wanted to cook. A welcome pack when we arrived with some tasty treats was a nice touch. We would recommend and would definitely stay again.
