Bee Happy Barn Reviews

Tihomir
We stayed for 10 nights in January and it was absolutely secluded, removed from the reality experience! Modern, spacious, convenient and must visit barn! Thanks for inviting us....
Nice place, what i miss is a vacuumcleaner and a floormop, too clean the place better. The bed was for me a bit short, 1,90 meter and i am 1,84. The shower can be better. The view and the rest is great.
Tracie
Really brilliant, ideal place for visiting other places in the area. Loved the wildlife in the garden overall a lovely place to stay highly recommend.
Lovely comfortable accommodation, very well equipped. Lovely views from the garden, great for star gazing as well. Ideal location for broads and coast areas.
We loved our week at Bee Happy Barn. It was very peaceful, comfortable, and everything we needed. It was in a good location for places we love to visit in Norfolk. We hope to revisit Bee Happy Barn next year.
Barbara
A lovely clean peaceful comfortable and relaxing place. Everything we needed for our week with thoughtful attention to detail. Would certainly recommend to others.Good access to the Broads and seaside. One of the best accomodations we have stayed in! 5!
Debbie
Lovely property for 2 people. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedroom. Unfortunately no hairdryer provided. Saturday evening we were disturbed by the neighbours revving what sounded like a motorbike late into the evening. The rest of the week was thankfully peaceful and the beautiful weather made our stay even more enjoyable. A lovely basket of goodies provided upon arrival. Thank you.
Trevor

Sharon Dawn
Great location, easy to find and well equipped barn conversion. Very quiet spot Lovely welcome basket on arrival probably the best we have ever received. Very relaxing holiday
We enjoyed our stay at Bee Happy Barn. Peaceful and quiet with wonderful views. Very comfortable and nice to return to after a busy day. A lovely area to explore especially Fairhaven Water Gardens and Ranworth Broad. We hope to return.
The cottage was well furnished and maintained. The site was quiet with an interesting view. The location is useful to reach a number of touristy places.
This is our second stay, it must be good! This barn has everything needed for a wonderful holiday, its location and amenities are excellent. Many thanks for the welcome hamper and the Christmas decorations. Dave and Selvi.
Stephen
Ticked all the boxes. Lovely accommodation, great communication. A lovely welcome basket, nice garden with several lovely visiting birds. We hope to return in 2025.
A lovely property, very comfortable and with everything you needed. Very generous goodies in the basket
Maureen
Cottage on the whole was comfortable but the two things we noticed were no shaving or electric toothbrush point, and unfortunately the television was beyond our expertise even after the owner showed us how to use it.
Lovely,peaceful location. Bee Happy cottage was very comfortable and contained everything we needed.
The Bee Happy Barn is a wonderful place to stay with so much character. The view is lovely and the surroundings peaceful. The owners welcome treats and flowers was a very thoughtful gesture. Thoroughly recommended.
Welcoming, cozy well equipped self catering property. Everything clean and in good working order, we didn't use the washing machine. Comfortable bed and furnishings. Nice, well tended private garden with view across open fields. Wish we could have stayed longer. One small tip, take your own hair dryer.
Geoffrey
A peaceful base and setting to explore Norfolk. Very comfortable barn with views over fields a good place to come back to after a long day to relax.
