Great attention has been paid to getting Apple Tree Barn just right, so that guests can enjoy a relaxing, comfortable and peaceful break away from the routine of their daily lives. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the sitting room is just the spot to snuggle up in front of the woodburner after blustery beach walks in the cooler months. There’s so much fun to be had in the games room, with Pool, Darts and Table Tennis tournaments, and there’s further communal space with the Snug on the first floor for some peace and quiet with a good book; plenty of room to spread out and enjoy all that’s on offer. The bedrooms are stylishly dressed, with quality mattresses to ensure a good night’s sleep. After long days exploring quaint coastal towns and villages; this fabulous home offers guests the perfect place to spend even more quality time together. Whether that’s relaxing in the suntrap garden on a summers evening, enjoying a scrumptious homemade meal around the dining table, a barbecue in the garden, or being all together in the reception rooms playing games. Bring along your well-behaved dog too so they can enjoy the delights of Norfolk from this peaceful retreat. Shop/Pub: within walking distance

Docking is a popular village just a few minutes’ drive from many coastal villages with long sandy beaches to explore. The neighbouring village of Brancaster is a popular place especially with families and dog lovers and there is an excellent golf course that sits beside the salt marshes and sea. At nearby Old Hunstanton children can play in the soft sand dunes against a backdrop of impressive beach huts followed by a paddle along the water’s edge. A little further around the coast discover Wells-next the-sea; its picturesque harbour is beautiful and there are many hours of fun to be had catching crabs from the quayside. The beaches are adorned with colourful beach huts and endless walks along the shoreline where you can often spot grey seals basking on the sand. Take a walk along the beach from Wells and discover Holkham beach; a firm favourite of the royal Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. Directly off the beach is Lady Anne’s drive leading you to Holkham Hall, which in itself is a great day out for the whole family. Set in a stunning 25,000-acre landscape it is steeped in history and home to the Earl of Leicester and his family. With bicycle hire available why not explore the grounds and enjoy picnics in the summer whilst observing the fallow and red deer.

As a large family this cottage was perfect. The lay out is great and there is plenty of space so you dont feel like youre on top of one another. The kitchen had all the amenities and we loved all the added touches in the cottage like the hall light sensors and the rechargeable torches in the bedrooms. Lovely shower! And huge bath. Its only a short Read moredrive away from Brancaster beach, Holkham beach and Hall are definitely worth a visit too. We honestly loved staying here. Hide

Minor point reference Mezzanine Bedroom- Traffic noise from 06:00 to being up was quite significant. Obviously nothing can be done about that but informing people ahead might be helpful.

My wife, adult son and daughter and their partners enjoyed a wonderful New Year stay at this spacious and very well equipped property. The games room and the log burner were particular favourites. The location is excellent and all of the North Norfolk attractions, pubs and restaurants are only a short drive away. We will return.

Great place to stop, central to everything. Some things need sorting in the barn, some people beds could feel the springs. Taps in en suite need fixing as kept moving and kitchen tap leaks. The heating was very strange, could never get it right. Overall it was a nice stay .
