What our customers say about their holidays

• Allan - Verified booking

  On arrival We were greeted by Alistair and he was very helpful and told us that if we needed anything to just knock on their door, my daughter arrived shortly after us and Catherine greeted them and couldn't have been more welcoming.

  The barn conversion is very warm and comfortable with oil fired under floor heating and all the facilities you need for an enjoyable stay. There's even a multi fuel (coal/logs) burner in the living room but we didn't need to use it. The bathroom has a roll top bath with shower combi tap attached, separate shower cubicle and heated towel rail. The Kitchen has a fridge freezer, full range electric cooker, microwave, washing machine and dish washer to make your stay a pleasure. The Bedrooms are warm and cosy, one double and one twin room. The conversion is a perfect mix of comfort and old world charm still has the quirky oak beams, exposed brickwork and the reclaimed high bay lighting used is from Frank Whittle's Estate, the sole inventer of the jet engine, and having worked on commercial jet engines myself was a neat little touch. There is a safe enclosed courtyard for children or dogs but although the listing says 'enclosed garden' it is just a courtyard, but that didn't detract from our stay. The location is perfect, well placed within easy reach of shops, pubs etc. and the Langham glass shop and glass blowing workshops is well worth a visit and is about 15min drive. Sandringham and Holkham beach are also about 45min away and a must visit. We really enjoyed our stay, even though many places were closed in November it's still a lovely area and we'll probably return earlier in the year at some time. Thank you again Alistair and Catherine for a lovely stay.

  A lot of thought has been put into making this lovely, well-equipped cottage comfortable and welcoming for guests.

  Everything you need in the way of practical items is supplied which has not always been the case in past holiday cottages we have stayed in. The village shop was closed when we arrived so we expected to have to go to Morrisons, it was such a relief, after a long journey, to find milk in the fridge and a welcome-pack of coffees, tea, sugar and biscuits (not forgetting dog biscuits for our dog). Rooms are all spacious and cosy. We particularly liked being able to leave the patio door open so our dog could wander out into the small, secure, private courtyard. There is also a small patch of grass in front of the cottage. Many paths around the immediate vicinity are ideal for walking dogs or just for taking a leisurely stroll. The area itself is beautiful with plenty places to visit including Stately Homes and gardens, pretty villages, nature reserves and the coast. The cottage has been lovingly renovated with many unique features and great attention to detail. The owners, next door, are friendly and genuinely wish to please their guests. We will be back and would like to thank the owners for this chance to stay in such a great cottage in this beautiful area.

  Very noisy road and all traffic could be heard.

  Washing machine inside door seal and powder tray was very dirty, we had to clean this before the one only wash we did. Excellent secure areas for our two dogs. Barn conversion itself, very lovely with lots of features and all tastefully done. Just about everything we needed was provided for and a nice small touch of tea, coffee & sugar and milk in the fridge. Water and heating was adequate and we did have to utilise the multi fuel burner one night as it was very cold. Honey Buzzard Barn, lives up to it`s name as there are plenty of Buzzards and other varieties of wild birds to see easily. Once off the quite dangerous road, there were some good walk areas, however, and unfortunately, we picked the wrong week as it rained every day of our break.

  Honey Buzzard is the best holiday hire property we have used.

  It is very well equipped, clean and located in an ideal area for travel to all of North Norfolk's attractions. The owners are very friendly and easy going. It has been a pleasure to chat with them. Indie, our cockerpoo and myself even went on a couple of walks with the resident cockerpoo Penny and her owner Catherine. It was great seeing the produce in the fields, sugar beet and peas to mention a few. As for the wildlife, lots of hares in the fields and even a deer was seen. The tracks used were traffic free except for the rare car going to a local property. Ideal to let Indie run off lead in safety. Simply the best. I will return to this oasis of peace and rest in the future

  We were so pleased to book this lovely barn as we were let down with another property at the last minute.

  I must say what a wonderful place to stay in. Everything from our first impression from our first day to our last was more than we could have imagined. Lovely big lounge with two new sofas. Very comfortable beds, large kitchen and big bathroom with a shower and a bath with lots of hot water. Underfloor heating, always cozy and warm as it was October. Our two dogs, Beau & Pip loved the open space outside with some lovely walks to keep them happy. Everything was of top quality, and all built by Alistair the owner. What a wonderful job he’s done with Catherine doing all the other things. Would love to stay again.
