The reviews consistently mention clean and comfortable bedrooms, suggesting high standards of cleanliness throughout the property.
The barn's location is celebrated for its convenience to beaches and local shops, though the presence of a nearby chicken farm occasionally affects the ambiance.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the barn spacious, providing a cosy environment with a log burner and ample outdoor seating.
The property is well-furnished with a stocked kitchen and a hot tub. However, some guests experienced issues with water pressure and temperature control in the showers, and parking can be tight for larger vehicles.

We had a great week at Pipistrelle barn. Good points first it is very comfortable the beds were very comfy and it is very spacious for a group. It is very nicely decorated and well laid out with the bedrooms. It has a well stocked kitchen and the hot tub was lovely to use as well as the bbq. There was also plenty of outside seating to enjoy too in the patio area.The location is great it is really near to Mundesley beach and not far from a lot of others. It is also only a short walk into North Walsham which has a big supermarket and variety of shops, cafes and a choice of pubs nearby. There is a very good fish and chip restaurant up the road.We had a slight issue with the plumbing, at times the water pressure was quiet weak so the showers didn't always have great pressure. This wasn't all the time. Also in some of the showers it was hard to get the temperature right as it came out scalding hot or too cold. You just need to be careful and get the temperature right first. The owner was very good at responding when we had an issue and fixed it straight away, he was very helpful. The parking is tricky if you have a few cars. It is very tight turning in and out of there. We only had 3 cars but they were big cars.The only other thing was the smell from the chicken farm. It was very strong and at times quite unpleasant, you are in the countryside and this may not be as strong in the winter, it was very hot while we were there.We have still given a good rating as overall we genuinely had a great time and this is a great base for enjoying Norfolk.
