Shorthorn Barn is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its beautiful conversion, spaciousness, and peaceful surroundings. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, and the private, sunlit garden. The property's remote location offers tranquillity, though some guests suggest it could benefit from additional entertainment options for younger visitors. Overall, the barn provides a delightful stay for families and groups, with many expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found the barn to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, a few guests noted areas that could have been cleaner, such as under sofas and kitchen appliances, slightly affecting the overall impression.
The barn's remote setting in Norfolk is appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to nature, with some guests enjoying the nearby footpaths for walks. However, the remoteness was a concern for some, who missed closer amenities and activities, especially for teenagers.
Guests consistently report a high level of comfort at Shorthorn Barn, with spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds, and a large communal area. The presence of en-suite bathrooms for each room added to the comfort level, although some guests found the sofas less comfortable.
The barn is well-equipped with a large kitchen, outdoor seating, and a secure garden. Guests enjoyed the en-suite bathrooms and ample space. Some suggested improvements in kitchen utensils and outdoor shade options, and noted the absence of a bath.

Located in Norfolk, not far from Norwich and Dereham, and close to Fakenham, is the quaint village of Taverham. This picturesque community can trace its history all the way back to the Domesday Book of 1086 and was a major producer of paper in the nineteenth century; today, it is conveniently located on the outskirts of Norwich, not far from the Norfolk Broads and the beaches of Walcott and Great Yarmouth. The village's visitors can easily reach the city centre of Norwich, where they can learn about the region's rich history at sites like the Bridewell Museum, Pull's Ferry, Cow Tower, Stanger's Hall, and the imposing Normal Norwich Castle, perched high on a hill. Both the 80-acre Eaton Park, with its many sports fields and wildlife activities, and the idyllic and tranquil Plantation Garden are located in the city. To see the rest of Norfolk and all it has to offer, Taverham is a great starting point.
