"We've had the best weeks' stay in your barn. Enjoyed walks, cycling and boating. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed". - Sarah Lenton

Savour the perfect balance of proximity to the Norfolk Broads and the city when you stay at this single-storey barn at Surlingham. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat could be ideal for a small family or two couples together. From here stroll less than 1 mile down to the River Yare or walk under 1 mile to explore tranquil Wheatfen Broad, home to plethora of wildlife. Drive 10 miles to Brundall to hire day boats out on the waterways of the area; pause at a pub for lunch before heading back. Plan day trips into Norwich, less than 8 miles away, to browse in colourful independent shops and high street stores, dine out and visit the famous cathedral and castle.

Open the door to this handsome barn and step inside to find a warm welcome. Discover the heart of the holiday home is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its revealed brickwork, high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, where the four of you can gather after your exciting excursions. Settle on the sofas to watch the Smart TV, pulling open the sliding doors on to a private courtyard garden on fine days. Wander over to the kitchen to whip up tasty meals with the local produce you have bought, where you have an electric oven and hobs and microwave. There is also a fridge, with a small freezer compartment, dishwasher and washer/dryer in here. Enjoy your meal together at the table. In the evening, run yourself a long, hot bubble bath in the freestanding bath in the family bathroom, with sumptuous roll-top bath also with WC and demisting LED mirror, or have a shower in the shower room, with shower, WC and demisting LED mirror. Lay your head in either the sumptuous king-size bedroom or the twin.

Have morning coffee and even breakfast out in the courtyard garden on fine days before heading off on your next Norfolk adventure. There is parking for two cars at the barn.

Great holiday get away, quite rural so would need transport, however only a 15 minute walk to a great pub on the broads. Property was clean and comfortable and great touches with welcome pack. More clothing storage in main bedroom and toiletry storage space in shower room required but overall a good property and would defiantly book again.
