The barn is a beautiful place to stay. We tried the local fish and chip shop in Martham and it was one of the best we’ve had. The house is lovely and cosy and the grey seals just up the road made the trip really special would 100% book again without hesitation

Lovely clean and well appointed accommodation on the very edge of Martham. The directions on the app were slightly confusing but once you find the farm it’s easy to navigate around. Everything you need is inside and outside the barn and spotlessly clean too. The owners live next door and to hand if you should have any issues.The only slight negative we found was the toilet was on the ground floor and the bedroom on the first floor with a narrow staircase and there was no handrail especially towards the bottom which was slightly worrying overnight and for anyone with limited mobility. The listing also says there’s a bath which there isn’t
