Is The Dairy Barn Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Kids get proper outdoor space here with the barn's private gardens and surrounding farmland to explore safely. The open plan layout means parents can cook whilst children play. Wells-next-the-Sea offers crabbing and beach fun 10 miles away. Pensthorpe Natural Park with its adventure playgrounds sits just 8 miles from the barn. The rural setting provides freedom without traffic worries.
Groups Will Love...
The exposed timber beams spanning this Norfolk barn's ceilings are the real deal. Original oak frames cross the upstairs sitting room and continue throughout the property. These aren't decorative additions but structural elements from the barn's working past. Combined with the thick stone walls, they create an authentic agricultural atmosphere. The beams are particularly striking in the open plan living area where they contrast beautifully with modern fittings.
Pet Friendly
The rural Norfolk setting makes this barn ideal for dogs if the owners permit pets. You've got private grounds for morning runs and countryside walks straight from the door. Working farmland surrounds the property so leads might be needed in certain areas. The stone floors downstairs are practical for muddy paws after field walks. Check the specific pet policy before booking as barn conversions vary in their arrangements.
