We had a wonderful time at Caroline's place. Tucked in a quiet village, this beautiful barn conversion has everything you need, even on a rainy day (the fireplace is a must). Although in a very quiet part of the countryside, the place is about 30 minutes drive from Norwich.

We spent two nights at the barn and had a peaceful weekend away in the beautiful surroundings. The barn is bigger than it appears in photos and was styled and furnished beautifully. The bath was incredible! We felt so at home and relaxed during our time and would come again. Caroline provided some great recommendations including Fen Farm dairy for fresh local cheeses and Old Hall farm for great produce. Thanks again Caroline !

Such a lovely place for a little break. Caroline has done an amazing job converting the barn into a little retreat. The Barn is finished to a very high standard and the bath just tops it all off. Felt right at home and the private garden is everything you need. Would recommend 100%. Caroline was very welcoming and responded to messages before arriving very quickly. Brilliant place

Lovely stay at The Barn which is very peaceful and private and exactly how it appears on the listing. The barn was spotlessly clean and cosy and Caroline’s recommendations were also excellent. Thank you!

Caroline’s Barn was great. Really enjoyed a peaceful few days away and totally lucked out with the weather at the beginning of my trip. Couldn’t fault the place. Was very well appointed and Caroline and her partner were very friendly and polite. Would happily stay again!

The barn is a beautiful space that feels spacious and warm with lots of character and well equipped. Caroline was very helpful and welcoming. The area was lovely and we had a peaceful break. We appreciated the fresh eggs and freshly ground coffee. Thank you Caroline for a lovely stay.

The four of us were very comfortable staying in the beautiful barn last week. The kids loved the garden and meeting the animals. We loved the location, lovely local walks and good for day trips out in all directions to really explore both Suffolk and Norfolk. The barn was super clean and Caroline was very welcoming and helpful. We had a perfect week. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay in Caroline's barn and we are already in talks of coming back soon. The interior is well thought out, homely with a contemporary edge. Stunning wild flower garden that was peaceful at all times. Caroline was quick and easy to communicate with and a lovely host. A 10/10 stay!
