There's something magical about a stay at West Heath Barn. From the delicious homemade cake you're welcomed with on arrival then throughout the cottages everything has been thought about - it's lush, cosy and comfortable, with all the mod cons you could hope for. With the owners living on site, Gill & Dave are on hand to offer the personal touch, making it feel much more than just an ordinary holiday rental. This was our fourth visit and it won't be our last. We've been with family and friends in the past and the annexes are a great addition if you've got older kids/ grandparents who might want a bit of privacy or chill-out space. Location wise we find it the perfect base to get out and about for day trips, plus there's so much to do on the doorstep. See you next year!
West Heath Barn was absolutely perfect for our family (three adults, three kids - 10, eight and six - and a dog; we stayed in the Cart Lodge and its annexe room). Within five minutes of arriving the lovely owner Gill had whisked the kids off to feed her chickens, which they loved, but not as much as they loved frolicking with Gill and Dave's energetic dog Woody (guests have access to a paddock for dog exercising their own dogs). The Cart Lodge is fantastically well-equipped (and my husband appreciated the strong wifi). Anything we had forgotten - salt and pepper, tin foil etc - we found in the kitchen. The location is great - 100m metres to Pedders Way for a country walk, while I got in a few 10K runs around the area. As ever, the Dabbling Duck pub in Great Massingham is perfect for families with its outdoor play area and pizza oven. North Norfolk's stunning beaches are all 30-45 mins drive away. We also loved a day at nearby Pensthorpe Wildlife Park (great adventure playground for kids, fantastic ducks, not very pink flamingos). Eric's Fish and Chips is also a winner - don't miss the live candy making at East Coast Rock. At the rear of the property is a field housing Gill and Dave's (mainly Gill's tbh) alpacas, Charlie, Oscar, Hemingway and Huxley. Gill kindly arranged a feeding and walking session with our extended family, which was a priceless highlight of the stay. We can't wait to come back! Thanks Gill, Dave, Woody and the alpacas.
We just spent a lovely 3 nights in Cart Lodge. Perfect for our family of 4 with 2 dogs. The accommodation is spotless and very well equipped with everything you need for a few nights away . Gill has thought of everything ! We also enjoyed the eggs from the hens and meeting the ‘boys’ – the alpacas and the walks from the farm with the dogs are great ! Great Massingham is a delight with excellent cafe and pub too. Hope to return one day . Thank you Gill and Dave
Having stayed at West Heath Barn on a few occasions before, we decided it would be an ideal venue for three generations of our family and two dachshunds for a get-together. As always the accommodation was absolutely first class and provided a great deal of space to meet the needs of everyone. Gill and Dave are brilliant hosts and were very responsive to any requests or questions. The barns are really well equipped with everything required for a weeks stay. My mother commented ''They really have thought of everything''! The dogs had their own safe space to have a run around in an enclosed area which proved really useful. The highlight of the week was the opportunity provided by Gill to have a walk and feed with the alpacas. Parking is ideal next to the barns with lots of space for all the cars. The location is perfect with access to two excellent local pubs and shop/café and endless places to visit and of course the fabulous North coastline. We will be returning again.
What a wonderful break we have enjoyed once more in the superb accommodation provided by Gill and Dave. Always a warm welcome with a delicious cake, milk, flowers and this time free range eggs from the hens! The Cart Lodge provided everything we could wish for with such attention to detail, all spotlessly clean and every reassuring Covid safety measure in place. As ever we didn''t really want to leave and hope to be back very soon in this fabulous accommodation enjoying this beautiful area that is so close to our hearts. Thank you very much for everything.
