The barn is perfectly located in a rural setting on the edge of the village of Roughton, and just two miles from the relaxed seaside charm of Cromer.

Accommodation met our needs, we were a party of 3 adults, 1child & a dog. Location is perfect to access all the tourist attractions and beautiful beaches - only a 5 minute drive to get to Cromer Seafront. Swimming pool was excellent, a wonderful opportunity to have a large pool to yourselves and no issues with booking time slots.

Well kept property, one half of a small barn conversion. Opened close to a country road so maybe not suitable for unsupervised children. But has a practical enclosed back garden half laid to lawn, very useful. Shared use of a heated pool with a rota sheet for private time slots which was a good idea. Pool has no shallow end if you need one! Had a lRead moreovely cake & biscuits for our arrival and some fresh milk in the fridge. There was also teabags & instant coffee provided but we had brought our own. TV & games too. Other similar properties in the enclosure but very quiet not busy. Easy efficient check in and departure & excellent directions supplied. Hide

The property was in a great location to allow for easy day trips to the Norfolk coast, local towns and a number of National Trust locations. The house was well equipped, great for a stay with children and/or a dog. The only negative was we booked this property for use of the pool, but there were more properties on the site than we had realised and Read morethe pool booking system didnt allow for easy use. Other than that, great, convenient place to stay. Hide
