About this property
Once a Cattle Barn, now Spacious Luxury Accommodation!
Recently refurbished and offering spacious and interesting accommodation for either two families or large parties of friends to enjoy.
DOG OWNERS - We warmly welcome one or two well-behaved furry friends, but please do not make an instant booking if you have more than two dogs. Instead, please message us and let us know about your dog companions and we will consider whether we can accommodate. Please familiarise yourselves with our pet rules.
The Old Barn is ideally situated for a number of pursuits including walking, bird watching, beach activities, or as a base from which to explore all that the North Norfolk Coast has to offer.
The White Horse is our local village pub, recently refurbished and offering a great selection of food and drinks. They have also recently opened a bakery in the neighbouring barn! Whether you want breakfast, pastries, coffee or cakes at the bakery, or sandwiches, lunch and evening meals at the pub; they have you covered. It's also a lovely stroll to the pub and back; just far enough, but not too far if you know what we mean! We regularly stop there on our walk to the beach.
Only 2 miles from Thornham in one direction or Hunstanton in the other and 8 miles from Burnham Market. Ringstead, with the great Gin Trap Pub, is also less than a couple of miles away. Sandringham is also just a short drive away too, as is Holkham; both with a regular events and activities for the whole family.
Huntstanton has a Tesco Superstore, as well as a Sainsburys and many other interesting shops. There is also an enormous Lidl located on the coast road at Heacham, which is really good and something we use a lot. But in this day and age, it is probably just as well to get your groceries delivered by Tesco/Sainsburys and save on room for packing.
Several of the take away restaurants in Hunstanton will deliver to the Old Barn, so there isn't any need to venture out if you don't fancy it and don't fancy cooking. Our favourite curries come from The Spice Garden at Heacham and they are happy to deliver too. We collect our Chinese food from Silk Road, next to the BP Garage at Heacham. This is a very good restaurant which also caters for take aways.
When the weather isn't playing ball and you have young children to entertain, it is worth considering the Oasis centre (Swimming) at Hunstanton, or Farmer Fred's Play Barn at Heacham. Not forgetting 10 Pin Bowling at the Hunstanton Pier, arcades and Sea Life Centre (all at Hunstanton).
ELECTRIC CARS: Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug. This is not permitted because of fire regulations regarding wiring, earthing rods and voltage restrictions; it poses a serious fire risk to standard 13 amp sockets and there is a real danger that the body of the vehicle could become live. There is no EV Charging point at the property and if you have an EV, you will need to charge it elsewhere. Use of electricity to charge cars is not included in the rental price.

We stayed with our two kids (6&2) and two dogs for a week in April and had a wonderful stay. The property was just as described and excellent value. The garden is all secure and so great for the kids and dogs to roam around safely. We’ll definitely return!
Second time staying at the Old Barn and another excellent stay. The owner is very helpful and supportive with any questions or requests. The facilities are top notch especially the kitchen and living space. No hesitation to recommend this place for a visit and to enjoy a high quality place to stay.
Very spacious well furnished property in a great village location close to the North Norfolk coast. We had a great short break and will hope to return for a longer stay sometime.
Fabulous and beautiful house perfect for all the family in a great location, village pub does amazing food which we would highly recommend and you are able to walk to the beach from the property. Our whole stay was fantastic.
The friends that we stayed at The Barn with were so impressed with our stay last year that we returned for a mid-week break. The presentation was up to its usual high standard, providing us with everything we needed and we really enjoyed our time there. The Barn has an excellent location enabling us to access the North Norfolk coast with ease and all that it has to offer.
This is our favourite holiday property in Norfolk. It has provided us with great comfort and met all our needs. It is perfectly located for the north coast, its fine beaches, walks, good pubs and restaurants. We have stayed there on three occasions and hope to do so again. We highly recommend it.
Excellent property, very comfortable with plenty of room for the family and great enclosed garden for dog's. Hosts are very responsive and helpful.
Great location for exploring beautiful North Norfolk. Will definitely be back.
A very attractive property with plenty of parking off road and a safe garden for dogs and children.
The property is within easy walking distance of Holme Beach and a good pub. Other attractions within a short distance, including food shopping, restaurants and take-always.
The property is exceptional with a very well equipped Kitchen and wonderful log burner across the living room and additional conservatory space Great communication with the owner and local services so can only recommend you to check out this property
This 300 year old barn has been tastefully renovated with plenty of space for our family group of 8 (old and young) to be together or spread out and everything we needed.was provided.
The village itself is lovely and you can walk easily to the local pub or beach.
The Barn is ideally located for all the lovely towns and villages along the coast we visited somewhere new every day and ate out several times.
This was my fourth stay at this wonderful cottage, it's so lovely to stay somewhere and know everything will be perfect! Spotlessly clean as always and it has everything we could possibly need, including a very well kitted out kitchen. Everything about the property is spacious, comfortable and very well furnished, we always have a great time. Owners are very friendly and responsive to messages. I'm sure we will be back again next year!
We enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend in Holme at this fabulous cottage. The accommodation is spacious, with all required facilities. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we could have needed, the living area extends round past a large dining room, though a large living area to a wonderful sun room. Upstairs the 4 bedrooms were well able to accommodate 7 of us, with enough bathrooms and toilets to ensure we were comfortable.The external gardens are lovely and well kept, and despite being on a reasonably busy road the place is really well situated to access lots of local delights. It's a short walk to the local pub and bakery, and we also walked to Hunstanton and Thornham (where we enjoyed a lovely meal in the Orange Tree) along the dunes and beaches.I thoroughly recommend this place for a fantastic stay and we wish we could have stopped longer!
Lovely house, all as described or better. We were afraid that the garden might be too exposed to the road and hadn't actually realised that there was an additional bit behind the house. In the event, weather wasn't really good enough to spend much time in the garden but would have been great.. Our baby grandchild wasn't quite old enough for the facilities provided but two highchairs, stairgates and toys make it ideal for babies and young children. Nicely located between various interesting food shops and takeaway options. .
For a winter stay - comfort and warmth are the two essentials and Main Barn more than provided for these. After a long walk with our dog taking in a new route each day, to sink into the sprawling settees with the log burner in the sitting room with tea and cake was 'heaven'. We were a party of eight and the house was spacious and accommodating on both levels so we never felt cramped or on top of each other. Our purpose was to go to Sandringham on Christmas Day with the added bonus of not only seeing the royal family but shaking the hand and wishing a Merry Christmas to HM The King and HRH The Prince of Wales. Minimal queuing time, we arrived at the gates for 10.30 am and were searched before going in - 11 am - The Royal Family passed us by - we enjoyed the church service on the loud speakers and then were lucky enough to be able to speak to them afterwards. The Christmas Turkey was in the wonderful Rangemaster Oven and we returned to toast with champagne and a lovely Christmas lunch at the eight seater dining table. The drive is gated so we were not worried about Ivy (our dog) getting out onto the main road and I would imagine the garden would be wonderful in summer time. Would highly recommend the local pub 'The White Horse' - a short stroll into Holme Next The Sea after a windswept walk on the beach - no hills - manageable for all ages. A well equipped, tastefully decorated home to rent with lasting memories of our stay - thank you so much to David and Claire.
A great property spacious clean and met all our expectations. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Indoor and outdoor spaces are excellent the whole family loved it
We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect for our family, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. There was plenty of room to spread out and we loved the beautiful walled garden behind the garage. Great communication from David our host - and thank you for recommending the White Horse in the village which was superb. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Had a lovely stay sadly it was cut a little short due to being called back home for an emergency, however the time we was there was wonderful, area of Holme next the sea is stunning, barn accommodation was lovely spacious & clean and a very nice welcome pack on arrival. We hope to stay again next time we visit Norfolk.
The Old Barn is an incredible property, and has everything for an adult or family get-a-way. Great location for beautiful Norfolk countryside and beaches.
The Old Barn is a very welcoming house containing all that a large family could want for an enjoyable holiday. We have just had our second visit and look forward to returning.
Had a lovely mini break in North Norfolk. Property was perfect for our requirements and had everything we needed for our stay. Location was a good base for exploring the area, lots to see and do. Well worth a visit.
