Lovely cottage in a stunning location, if peace and quiet are what you''re looking for, look no further. Plenty of wildlife on the doorstep, including deer,partridges,pheasants,hares and lots of different small birds. Great base from which to explore the North Norfolk coast. Very comfortable and well equipped. Would highly recommend.
I took my friend on her first ever visit to Norfolk. The Barn is perfectly situated for visiting many of the gems of North Norfolk. We managed Sandringham, Wells, Holkham, Holt, the Broads, Cromer, Langham Glass at Fakenham and Seal spotting by boat off Blakeney Point as well as the Pensthorpe Water Park just across the road! We spotted hares in the garden and deer in one of the fields. A truly wonderful place.
We loved every minute of our stay in Alethorpe Barn, so much so, we are booked to come back next year. We were very lucky with the weather, but had we not been, the barn was located in such a peaceful and beautiful location, that it was just perfect for us regardless. The barn is off a main road, but set back enough to not hear this at all. This does mean that you can get around Norfolk very well from here. 30 mins from wells next the sea and Holkham meant we could enjoy the beach everyday!
We'd rather keep this gem of a location as a best kept secret but in all conscience feel bound to state that in all our years of holiday lets from Scotland to the Lizard, this venue has now set a new gold standard. At the end of a country lane the barn sits in fields where walking is a pleasure, wildlife abundant, and for us most importantly, privacy. The barn is split in two and is well designed inside, spacious, comfortable, and perfectly equipped. We perhaps were lucky regarding holidaymakers who rented the other half of the barn. We didn't hear or see them during our entire stay. Our experience might have been different had we landed the same week as a noisy crew kicking balls about outside but as it was we felt as though we had the entire property to ourselves. I'd like to think the neighbours had a similar experience. We've already booked another week later in the year. The owners and team are easily accessible. The welcome pack of staples was perfect in the event that you arrive too late to shop locally although there is no shortage of retail outlets, small and large, within a few minutes' drive. Exceptional property.

Thank you I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Katherine
Lovely comfy cottage in a quiet rural location but easily accessed from the main road . Ideal for visiting National Trust properties , the Norfolk coast and Sandringham . Just a few minutes from Fakenham where the local facilities are and just across the road from Pensthorpe Nature Reserve - which has a nice cafe . I would definitely book this property again .
Barn was spacious, clean and comfortable. The barn was perfect, set in a quiet location providing peace and quiet for a relaxing stay and very convenient for visiting a wide range of places of interest.
