Orchard Barn is a stunning barn conversion in a rural setting - stylish, comfortable and very spacious. The property is comprehensively equipped and generously supplied. Norwich, the Broads and the Norfolk/Suffolk coastline are all accessible. The location on a working farm was amazingly quiet. The outside seating areas would be great in warmer weather for a coffee or a glass of wine. We would highly recommend this property.

The accommodation at Orchard Barn was excellent. It is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. The location is very quiet and peaceful. It was further from the village than we had anticipated-a bit too far for us oldies to walk in the dark, but in the summer it would be OK.We thoroughly enjoyed our short break here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Great relaxing stay, the barn is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Garden and paddock area was secure and great for the dogs. Would definitely return.
