The Haybarn, Necton

3 of us stayed at the Haybarn for 3 nights. What a beautiful, peaceful location. I have never slept so well for a long time! The shower is large and powerful, you're not provided with complimentary toiletries (but who uses them anyway?!) but towels are provided. A lovely outside seating area which, unfortunately, due to weather we weren't really able to enjoy, however, in the summer I'm sure it's just delightful. There is everything you need in the kitchen including an iron, washing machine and dishwasher (think you might need to take your own powders/tablets etc to use). Very well centrally heated on timers with a little electric fire in the lounge if needed. As others have pointed out you will definately need a car to get about but some lovely walks to be had in the immediate area.

Brilliant Holiday Cottage, the peace & tranquility were divine & hard to get used to for a day or 2. The owners are the salt of the earth. So gentle & understanding, picking up on individual needs ie that our son had a disability, and the owner came over each eve to get him to assist in letting the horses out. We entertained many visitors there & they ALL commented on how perfect the spot was

Lovely home from home in very quiet spot. Very well equipped cottage. Beds super comfy and hot water all of the time. You definitely need your own car here and it was a great base for exploring Norfolk. Nowhere was more than a 45 minute drive. Our only criticism is that upstairs is let out separately and this time was let to some scaffolders who got up at 4.30 every morning to go to work and the noise they made woke us all including the dog.

Clearly the owners have put a lot of thought into the decor and facilities here. Even coordinating towels! Real attention to detail and spotlessly clean which made it very homely and welcoming. The kitchen is the best equipped I have ever experienced, with lots of workspace, utensils and fully integrated appliances including washing machine. Nice comfy sofas too! Great shower! Tony and his wife are lovely people, we felt completely welcome and at ease. They are there if you need them but leave you to enjoy your holiday. Very relaxed The property is on the owners grounds with shared parking and small private garden with use of their own shared garden should you want more open space. There is a small stream separating the two. Well kept grounds. Be mindful that the top floor of the property is rented out - not obvious from picture/description. There was someone staying whilst we were there but didn't cause any noise issues for us at all. The property is rural and you will need a car to go anywhere. It's narrow country lanes too so don't expect shops, pubs etc in walking distance. This was fine for us as we are out in the day and prefer cosy nights in. The owners have lovely dogs themselves and are really chilled with dogs. Genuinely dog 'friendly'. Just need to keep on lead in grounds as chickens and horses around. All in all a lovely stay.

So relaxing. The Haybarn was so well equipped that we didn't have to worry about anything. Very dog friendly.We were made to feel very welcome on arrival but then left alone to get on and enjoy our break away. Highly recommended.

A beautiful barn conversion with fabulous gardens and a lot of wildlife. Would definitely stay again.

The Haybarn is, all in all a lovely cottage in a delightful setting and is owned by a charming lady.

Everything about the cottage was perfect it was very central to most places we wanted to visit and the owners were very friendly and anything we needed to know they were able to help us.

Had easy access to places of interest and it was a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

The Haybarn was absolutely delightful. The owners were charming hosts, and we especially enjoyed the proximity to horses, chooks and sometimes dogs. We loved taking strolls through the surrounding lane ways or car trips to nearby attractions such as Norwich, Great Yarmouth and places nearer such as Dereham. The countryside was lovely and convenient to many things. A very special memory is watching the sunsets over the fields through the western windows of the cottage. We also enjoyed the pond and waterway just outside the door. So beguiling. Thanks so much to the owners for a great stay and some lovely chats.

A wonderful cottage that the owners have taken great care and pride in making the cottage facilitate all your needs. Excellent location to have quality time away in the country but good access to towns and cities. I will be booking to go again and again. Excellent accommodation, would recommend to anyone.

Lovely cosy cottage.

The cottage was stunning and we really liked the location, felt very relaxed. Would love to go back in the summer.

Quiet, peaceful surroundings with the freedom to use the large garden. Lots of birds to watch for an enthusiast, including a Kingfisher. It was nice to see the horses, ducks and chickens. Very pleasant owners. Space for parking and it felt secure as the large gates to the property were kept shut. We liked the double doors opening into the garden.

Enjoyed Norfolk very much and visited several National Trust properties. We were lucky with good weather so we had some lovely walks with our two dogs. Very dog friendly pubs, especially the Peddars Inn at Sporle, they made our dogs very welcome with treats and water! All in all a lovely holiday.

The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that anyone could ever need, and the quality of the kitchenware is first class, we cooked a full Christmas dinner with no problems at all. The surrounding gardens and outdoor space is lovely, the cottage is quite remote but we do like that, very quiet. The owners were very welcoming and helpful but left you alone to enjoy your holiday. The cottage is very nicely furnished, decorated and very warm with a nice shower. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the towels were soft and fluffy with a good array. The outside veranda was great, and I can imagine perfect on a nice summers evening! This is a lovely cottage, and we did enjoy our stay.

It was warm and welcoming, and the attention to detail was impressive. Everything you needed was there, it could not have been better!

Fabulous cottage with really tasteful interior décor, very peaceful location, but still fabulous base for great days out.

This was a beautifully presented cottage with lots of extras.

Whoever put the selection of inventory into this property should be congratulated as we could not find any thing that had not been catered for. This is something we have not come across before. Well done.

The service we received from the owners was wonderful, upon arriving we got a real warm welcome and then told if we needed anything we only had to ask. The barn was beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. A generously sized shower was lovely to use also. The location was very rural, very peaceful which is what we look for. The beautifully kept gardens with stream, pond and secret gardens were private and great to sit in on an evening. To get to the nearest shop and pub etc. you really needed to use the car as they were quiet a way off from the barn. The only let down was that it didn't mention in the details that you would have other guests living above you...which at times was very noisy as you can hear every footstep which they take.

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in delightful quiet rural location. Very pleasant owners. Lots of interesting places to visit. All in all, a very successful holiday.

Spent a lovely week here with the family in april. Very welcoming an ideal location. Only disadvantage was the lack of restaurants and pubs that accept dogs. This however would not prevent us from staying here again.

The quality of the accommodation, and the garden are exceptionally good.

The owners were very friendly, the whole stay was extremely enjoyable, with home comforts. Having the bedding/towels provided is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved the location and the comfort of the cottage.

Excellent cottage in a lovely location.

A superb cottage on all levels. Well presented, clean, modern within a old cottage feel and everything you need. The gardens were beautiful. Very friendly welcome and helpful hosts. The whole experience was great. Without doubt I will be back.

The stream, ducks, views, horses and birds, peacefulness of the surroundings. Owners very friendly and helpful. Well equipped and thought out needs of the holidaymaker.

The owners were very welcoming and extremely helpful. A lovely situation and we enjoyed exploring places like Ely and Sandringham.

Friendly people, nice walks, pleasant area, handy to visit anywhere in Norfolk. Norwich is a pleasant city to roam around.

Our hosts at The Haybarn were charming and very helpful. We appreciated the lack of traffic noise and no light pollution at night. Good fields that were open to public access, and we enjoyed the contrast in scenery between Devon and the East Coast area.

A very attractive cottage with olde worlde features inside as well as all modern equipment. Lovely garden with lots of ducks,geese,dogs and horses to watch. A delightful spot and I would definitely recommend it to anyone else.

The peace and quiet was wonderful. We loved the animals running wild. We were really able to relax and enjoy a well earned break.

Had a fabulous stay at The Haybarn. The Haybarn is one of 3 properties available to rent. All are dog friendly. The facilities are excellent too. We enjoyed a couple of days where the weather was glorious and we were able to sit outside on the verandah overlooking the pond. Ducks, horses and chickens are residents on the farm. The owners dog was seen riding on the back of one of horses too! Downside would be that the nearest pub was a 2.2 mile walk and with our slow coach of a dog we were hungry and thirsty by the time we got there. But the wait was worth it. If you do stay at the Haybarn you should visit the Windmill Inn at Necton.

A lovely peaceful retreat. The property is in a rural location, the nearest pub is 2 miles away. Food at The Windmill in Neston is lovely - recommend booking. We had a wonderful time.

The property has been renovated beautifully. A well equipped kitchen and a lovely little garden, it was nice to sit on the covered patio watching the ducks and chickens. The situation is excellent and it's wonderfully quiet. The dinner we had at the Windmill Inn was superb!

The property was so well equipped with everything you need and more. The decor was very nice and the veranda was super.

The accommodation was of a high standard and the owners were genuinely nice people. We had reasonably good weather and were able to sit outside of an evening with a glass of wine. Very tranquil location. Fairly central for most things in north Norfolk and the Broads.

First class accommodation - the location was beautiful and the decor stunning. Plenty of room for the dog too both inside and outside.

The property far exceeded our expectations and was beautifully decorated. It was very clean and tidy. Everything you could want was at the property. It was well lit and in lovely surroundings.

The cottage was everything and more. We had a lovely few days of peace and quiet and we were lucky enough to be able to take our dog. The local pub was very friendly and the food was excellent, we would recommend this also.
