What an amazing place to stay. Peaceful and relaxing. It was spotless with everything you needed. The hot tub is nice and big and very clean. It is very dog friendly with 2 enclosed areas for dogs to play. Donna was amazing checking we had everything we needed. Lovely places to visit around we especially enjoyed Wells beach. We would highly recommend you won’t be disappointed. Jo Dave and Milou.

We enjoyed our stay at Squirrel barn. A peaceful location with dog friendly facilities. The barn has a lovely spacious, wooden beam high ceiling bedroom and modern amenities and enclosed private garden. Easy access to shops and north coast seaside towns including Sheringham and Wells on Sea. The owners were friendly and made us feel welcomed. We would definitely recommend.
