With six separate buildings, the site is capacious and inviting, and is a wonderful spot to spend time with family, friends, or as a couple. The Great Barn, one of the newly renovated barns, is a vast open space with polished concrete floors and plenty or original features. Sleeping 16, it's full of spaces to get together, relax, eat and watch the fabulous Norfolk skies in the upstairs mezzanine level. There is also an amazing bespoke bunk room which is perfect for children and adults alike, with large single beds. The other new unit, The Workshop, is similar to the Great Barn and can also sleep 16 in 6 rooms with a 6-bed bunk room.
The Cattle Shed is a five-bed space, though the cows are long gone and in their place there's room for 10 guests. Imagine stripped wood, polished concrete flooring, underfloor heating and splashes of colour here and there. The reality is even more impressive. Fancy a romantic break with your other half? The Tack Rooms is a calming one-bed sanctuary, with a modern kitchen decked out using reclaimed materials and sweeping views. The Piggery and Stables complete the picture: each with room for four people and full of rural charm, with original brick walls and wood-burners. An added bonus? Each of the holiday homes has access to The Sheep Dip, the indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room. Swim a few lengths, watch as the kids splash about, or simply relax in the warmth of the 28.5 degrees Celsius water.
Once you have settled in, you can peruse the welcome app, and decide what to do with your day: with the North sea coast within easy driving distance, there are activities aplenty, including sailing, exploring the unspoilt waterways of the Broads and checking out sandy beaches such as Heacham or Brancaster, or – slightly further afield – the fabulous stretch of sand at Holkham. Culture fiends can get a fix at one of the stately homes, with Houghton Hall and Sandringham House just a quarter of an hour away. Back at the farm, there are numerous walks and cycle routes, including the Peddars Way, which runs across part of the farm. After a leisurely stroll, enjoy time back at Great Barn – these design-led and unusual spaces really are rather special.

The Owner Says
Great Barn Farm is a series of converted barns all on a small site situated within our 1,350 acre arable farm. Our immediate area is a very beautiful and quiet part of Norfolk with gently rolling farmland, ancient woodlands and wildlife-filled fields and hedgerows. Our aim has been to take what has always been a beautiful range of farm buildings and convert them sympathetically. From the outside we want them to appear as unconverted as possible and on the inside provide very comfortable, fun, design-led and unusual spaces. We like to rent houses when we go on holiday and have tried to incorporate elements of properties that have inspired us.
