Our second trip in 7 months to The Dairy at West Heath Barn which for us is a very warm and welcoming "home from home." I have been holidaying in Norfolk for as long as I can remember (50+ years) and find West Heath Barn to be the perfect location to really get away from it all. An idyllic setting, quiet and peaceful with plenty of walks and open countryside quite literally on your doorstep. Gill and David couldn't be better hosts, always happy to help should you need anything , and they keep both the accommodation and the whole site immaculate. The Dairy is plenty big enough for two couples with the option of a third ensuite bedroom should you need more space. West heath Barns are very well appointed, with everything you could possibly need we often eat in which is easy to do as everything you could need in the kitchen is there already. West Heath Barn is very dog friendly with an ideal large "dog run" securely fenced right next to the living accommodation which is ideal for late night leg stretches. The owners dog is always happy to keep any other visiting dogs company should they so wish! If you have any special requests Gill and David are always happy to help wherever possible but its unlikely you will need to ask for anything, most likely its already in a cupboard somewhere! Great Massingham is an ideal location for those not wanting to be "on the coast" , it offers a very peaceful alternative but is only a half hours drive through beautiful Norfolk countryside should you wish to visit. Massingham is well served with a decent pub, village shop (well stocked) and a small cafe with Fakenham , Swafham & Kings Lynn only a twenty minute drive if you need larger shops. All in all a great place to stay to get away from it all, we will be back in the autumn.
We just had the loveliest weekend away at The Dairy cottage in West Heath Barn - the property was really spacious but warm and cosy and everything was immaculately clean and finished to a very high standard. Beds were comfy and every detail was thought of. It really exceeded our expectations. Even had a cake waiting for us! The little paddock out the front was great for our greyhounds to have a safe runaround. A lovely bonus was seeing the 4 cute alpacas which the hosts kindly spent time for us to experience feeding and taking them for a little walk. My 10 year old daughter particularly enjoyed this exciting experience. The hosts were really friendly and helpful, and gave us some great recommendations of things to do and places to eat which were all fab. We drove up to the huge open beaches and there is a lot of stunning nature around, very relaxing area. 100% recommend!
We had a fantastic time staying at the Dairy Barn during the Easter holidays. The barn was super clean. It was very well equipped too. Nothing was too much trouble for Gill & and Dave, and the Alpacas were very friendly. Perfect get away for us, a family of 4 (children aged 9 & 7 years )....plenty of fantastic days out within easy reach, including Holkham, Wells, Brancaster, Sandringham & Bircham's windmill. Thank you.
We thoroughly enjoyed our first holiday at West Heath Barn, so much so, that we booked our second holiday, during our first visit! When we arrived, we were delighted to find pretty flowers and a delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake on the kitchen table. The hosts, Gill and Dave gave us a warm and friendly welcome, and were extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with whilst booking our holiday, and during our stay. Our cottage was immaculately presented, and beautifully and thoughtfully appointed, enabling us to feel content and comfortably at home. The fully enclosed and secure dog field was an added bonus. Our two dogs absolutely loved romping around the spacious field. Gill and Dave have several alpaca’s, who are delightful characters, and a daily highlight was to walk past their field to watch them interacting with each other. Glorious countryside is right on the doorstep and we loved exploring the various routes. With easy access to the Peddar’s Way, we enjoyed walking into Great Massingham and had a few delicious meals at The Dabbling Duck. We also thoroughly enjoyed breakfast at The Cart Shed - their tasty bakes are also amazing! We would like to thank Gill and Dave for their wonderful hospitality and for such a fabulous holiday. We very much look forward to our next stay at West Heath Barns We will most certainly be rebooking future holidays with them in the future.
We had a great week at West Heath Barn, from originally booking through to checking out (and posting left items back to us) the service, attention to detail, and personal care and communication from the owners was fantastic. The best service I’ve ever experienced while staying away. Having two young children, the house was very well equipped with cots, beds, high chairs and baby gates. The barn is beautifully renovated to a very high standard, with lots of little Homely touches. We were welcomed with fresh eggs from the chickens, milk and all the things you initially need in the kitchen. The gardens and surrounding rural countryside is lovely, quiet and peaceful, the local village is idilic and you are not far from great beaches. The drive to the beaches from the property is very picturesque. The owners have chickens and alpaca’s which you can feed and visit which was also a hit with the children. We will be back!
