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.

Little Barn is a little gem! Tucked away in quiet countryside away from the hustle and bustle but within easy reach of the coast and the best of North Norfolk. Sally & Ken were most welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The property itself is a delight - tastefully furnished to a high standard - we were always happy to return to this cosy retreat after our days out. The garden is lovely and has plenty of options for sitting in sun/shade. We were also grateful that it was dog secure. We were sorry to leave and have already re-booked for next year. Highly recommend! :)

Little Barn's decor and arrangement is as thoughtful and gracious as its hosts, Ken and Sally. From extra woollen rugs for the (two! hurray!) sofas, to well placed handles, lamps and chairs, the cottage is well thought through, beautifully decorated and devoid of clutter. The little eaves bedroom is so simple and pretty, and the garden is a joy, even with the endless winter we've just had. Everything is beautiful. It all just works. Super location with a perfect start-the-day dog-walk straight from the door, and lots to do within driving distance. Little Barn is an absolute gem.

I'm keeping Little Barn a secret! Sally and Ken made us feel so welcome - warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and everything you'd need in the kitchen. Extra pillows and blankets were in the wardrobe along with cosy hot water bottles. The garden turned into a winter wonderland on frosty mornings and always full of birds. Thank you Sally and Ken, we'd love to come back sometime!

Our stay at Little Barn was wonderful! Just what we needed in these strange COVID times. The pretty little cottage extension is tastefully furnished, super clean and really 'comfy and cosy'. An extra treat was the lovely garden created by Sally and Ken, which we had great views of from the lounge and bedroom. The cast iron wood stove just added to our pleasure. Sally and Ken were so welcoming and relaxed - perfect. We will definitely come back to Little Barn and highly recommend it.

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.
We had a wonderful stay at Little Barn with our two children and two dogs. The cottage is cosy, extremely comfortable and beautifully finished. Our hosts were lovely, relaxed and very helpful. The location is perfect for exploring the local area with fabulous beaches and walks. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Little Barn.
