These well-appointed adjoining barns each enjoy privacy, their own enclosed garden with seating furniture, and private parking. The holiday properties are situated in a separate area of the owner’s grounds, which also has a small, members-only, Registered Caravan Club site for five caravans, on the property’s meadow. Close by is Hickling Broad, with a nature reserve that links to the Norfolk Broad’s unique topography of reed-lined waterways, famous for their good coarse fishing, boating, and rich variety of wildlife, especially waterfowl. Also 3 miles drive away, are the glorious sandy beaches of Sea Palling and Waxham, often visited by seals. Visit Wroxham (11 miles), the capital of the Norfolk Broads, with its waterside cafés, restaurants, shops, and daily river trips available.
Also, catch the Bure Valley Steam Railway here for a wonderful trip to Aylsham. Daily boat hire is available at nearby Hickling Broad and Potter Heigham, ½ mile and 3½ miles away respectively. Quiet country lanes and trails are great for relaxed cycling and walking. Nearby attractions include many National Trust properties including Blickling and Felbrigg Hall and Horsey Windpump. Visit the seaside resort of Cromer (21 miles) with a promenade and pier, and Sheringham (26 miles), home to the North Norfolk Steam Railway.
The city of Norwich (21 miles), with its cathedral, castle, museums, galleries, restaurants, cinema, theatre, and shopping with two malls and market square is within easy driving distance. For another great day out, visit Horsey Gap (National Trust) where you can walk on the dunes and see the seals and pups on the beach (November to February). Beach 3 miles. Two pubs within walking distance serving great food and craft beers. Winbrirri Vinyard is 35 mins drive, offering tours and tasting, or if beer is more your thing check out Woodfords and The Redwell Brewing and Tap room. Lots of fantastic restaurants and gastro pubs nearby, including dog-friendly recommendations in your welcome pack.

We had a week at Meadow Farm as a base for a holiday on the Broads, walking, boating, eating out, going to the beach etc. The Diary is a lovely unit everything was there and the hot tub was lovely in the evenings. Danny sorted out our only small issue very quickly. It was very chilled out week.

We had a lovely stay in The Dairy. It was very cosy but adequate. It had everything you would need and more, (even robes and sliders for the hot tub), although there wasn't anywhere to put food (tins, etc). It is in an ideal place for exploring north Norfolk and close to the broads, "we hired a boat for the day". Overall, had a fantastic week 😀
