We had a fantastic week staying here. The Barn is so comfortable, cosy and absolutely spotlessly clean. It is well equipped and had everything needed. Plenty of space for us all. Sian and Darren very friendly, and clean towels, T- towels even offered half way through the week. We will certainly be booking again. Village also offers Co-op which has made shopping for food easy. It is so well situated for so many lovely places to visit. From Norfolk. 2024
