About this property

Barn Owls Retreat @ Dairy Barns

Barn Owls Retreat has a fabulous upstairs bedroom on open plan gallery where you can lay in your super king sized bed looking up to the stars, Downstairs there is a spacious lounge with comfy sofa and flat screen TV/DVD player. You’ll love the stylish, convenient and easy-to-use Nespresso coffee machine – we think it produces an almost perfect cup of coffee, along with a good sized fridge to chill your wine and nibbles.

The bathroom has been fully refurbished this year, it is incrediably spacious and has an excellent large power shower and separate oval bath with ample fluffy towels, robes and luxury toiletries. Along with a double sink and mirror with in built blue tooth speakers

In addition there is a day bed in the downstairs area with a second pull out bed underneath so its great for a family getaway. You have your own front door for complete privacy and a private court yard garden. The room has a fridge and glasses in case you want to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne. As an extra treat If you would like to have breakfast in your room we will happily bring a full English breakfast or homemade waffles to your door for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own lounge or maybe outside in the early morning sunshine on the deck in your own little garden.

Great place ideally located to expose Norfolk

We loved Dairy Barns, the rooms, the breakfasts, just everything about it. We all know that farmers are having a pretty tough time and this is a great way to diversify. In The Broads, not far from Norwich or the north coast, it's ideally situated for visiting this beautifully unspoilt county. Thank you to everyone.

A lovely few days enhanced by the amazing friendly attitude of the staff

The Barn Owl’s retreat was a lovely room which was perfect for our wedding anniversary celebration. The location was excellent offering a good choice of places to eat and activities to enjoy within a short drive. The staff could not have been more accommodating and recommended places for us to visit and helped us get the most from our short break away.
