The Experience
Down a peaceful country road through fields where horses quietly graze, to an 1880s Norfolk farmhouse with a glorious garden behind. Little Barn is attached but utterly private and Sally and Ken could not be more welcoming.
Inside is immaculate yet homely; cook as elaborately as you like in the well-equipped kitchen/diner while chatting to everybody else in the sitting room with cosy wood-burner a step below.
French windows open to your own beautifully kept piece of garden with table and chairs for eating al fresco – you’re free to roam the big garden too. Take walks or cycle from your front door, stock up in Briston (one mile), the coast is half an hour away. Comfortable to return here after a day of blowy walks, crabbing, bird and seal watching, or exploring historic Holt.

Ken & Sally were perfect hosts and their cottage was the perfect London get-away - neat, tidy, comfortable and very well appointed with a beautiful garden. The location was perfect too, in close proximity to the best of North Norfolk.

Such an idyllic cottage, and we were made to feel so welcome (even the sheep nearby said hello!). Everything was impeccably clean and functional, the house was warm and cosy and the beds and bedlinen were so comfortable! So lovely to come back to after days spent discovering the beautiful surroundings and long coastal walks that this part of Norfolk has to offer. Five stars all round! Thank you!

Over the years we have hired many cottages, this is one of the best if not 'The Best'. The cottage is full of charm & character with beautiful gardens either side, one belonging to the owners house but available to visit. The Little Barn is in a prime location both peaceful & relaxing. On our first full day we only had the sound of a light breeze in the tree tops and bird song. Ken & Sally have made a place of tranquility here & we will be back next year.

Our week spent in Little Barn was delightful. From the moment we arrived we felt at home in this beautiful and well equipped cosy property. Owners Sally and Ken could not have made us feel more welcome. Ideally situated for taking lovely walks down quiet rural lanes into and around the village of Briston - and only a short drive to the towns and villages along the coast. With its own beautifully designed garden, alfresco dining beckons when the sun is shining. All in all a great place to enjoy the many delights of this part of Norfolk.

Location
The neighbourhood
Little Barn is in a peaceful, rural area surrounded by fields with horses and sheep. The village of Briston is roughly 20 minutes on foot, five minutes by car, and has a butcher, baker, fresh fish shop and pub. Nearby Holt provides everything else. The North Norfolk coast is half an hour's drive.
Local points of interest from Sally Holmes
- Little Barn is in the middle of Norfolk in a quiet, rural location surrounded by fields. Set off in any direction, you will find something to interest you. History,art, wildlife, cafes & pubs, walking. See what you can find. Coffee in Holt is a good start.
- Norfolk is full of history. Experience the Viking and Middle Ages at Norwich Castle & Cathedral, as well as the many rural Saxon & Norman churches, reputedly 600! A trip on the Poppy line from Holt to Sheringham takes you back to the Steam Age.
- Enjoy the abundant wildlife at the Pensthorpe, Titchwell and RSPB nature reserves. Take a boat trip from Blakeney or Morston to see the seals at Blakeney Point. Spend the day on one of the lovely beaches, or step out on a bracing coastal walk.
- There are some interesting tea shops to visit. The Village Store in Itteringham has been trading since 1637! Try the award winning tea shop in the quaint village of Heydon, the eccentric Dial House in Reepham. Great coffee in the Black Apollo in Holt.
- There are many gardens to visit. Houghton, Blickling and Felbrigg all have wonderful walled gardens and walks at any time of year. The Old Vicarage at East Ruston is inspiring and full of ideas for gardeners. There are also open gardens in season.
- The whole family will enjoy adventure days at the magical world of Bewilderwood or the Jurassic world of the Dinosaur Park near Norwich. Explore the Priory Maze near Sheringham, or cycle safely with the family at Blickling or Holkham.

Introducing
Sally Holmes
Sally and Ken live in the farmhouse attached; they were illustrators for many years and now design and maintain gardens. They’ve been running this place for years and strive to make their guests happy and comfortable: free logs for the wood-burner, a bottle of wine, milk, coffee and tea. They try to welcome you but if that's not possible they leave clear instructions for picking up the keys.
Beautiful cottage, kept immaculately, with everything needed for a stay. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Couldn't recommend more.
