"We've had the best weeks' stay in your barn. Enjoyed walks, cycling and boating. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed". - Sarah Lenton

The Old Stables at Green Farm Barns is a charming barn conversion with accommodation all on one level. This is the perfect holiday cottage for families or friends looking to explore the stunning Norfolk countryside and Norfolk Broads.

You will be welcomed into a recently renovated space that includes a generous open plan living area and modern/country interiors, which is beautifully fused with some of the original characterful features of the original barn. The living space truly brings the outside in with patio doors leading out onto the small courtyard area – it’s the ideal space for dining alfresco! The Old Stables has a wonderfully relaxed and luxurious feel and is well equipped so that you can truly start enjoying your holiday as soon as you walk through the door! The bedrooms offer a fantastic space to recharge your batteries, one with king size bed and one twin room, and what’s more there is an equal bathroom to bedroom ratio meaning your comfort really is key here.

Location-wise, when having a staycation here you’ll benefit from being in the Norfolk countryside which offers plentiful local walks, bird watching and stunning cycle routes. You’ll also have easy links to the wonderful Norfolk Broads – perfect for a day trip on a boat to truly appreciate your surroundings! The Old Stables is nestled in a quiet and tranquil village, which is within easy walking distance of the River Yare, where there are two wonderful pubs. If you are looking to spend a day in the historic City of Norwich, then this is only a 6-mile drive away. Within driving distance of Green Farm Barns are a number of National Trust sites and properties, many wonderful beaches and numerous attractions.

If you're looking for a larger property, then why not consider neighbouring The Old Dairy which also sleeps 4 guests. Booking these two properties together means you can holiday with up to 8 people! 

What we love about this property: It’s relaxed feel will have you truly in the holiday spirit. You’ll have everything you need here, so get ready to sit back and relax in the stunning Norfolk countryside!

Great holiday get away, quite rural so would need transport, however only a 15 minute walk to a great pub on the broads. Property was clean and comfortable and great touches with welcome pack. More clothing storage in main bedroom and toiletry storage space in shower room required but overall a good property and would defiantly book again.
