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 as charming as its name - nestled down a picturesque country lane, spotlessly clean, stylishly furnished and blessed with its own delightful garden designed by the kind and friendly owners, Ken & Sally who after distinguished careers as illustrators decided to become professional gardeners. North Norfolk's many attractions are within easy reach. Highly reccomended.

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful cottage - the accommodation, layout, facilities and attention to detail were all exceptional .. the weather was glorious so we were able to eat outside enjoying the peace and quiet and beautiful garden every day .. we highly recommend a stay here , there is plenty to do in the area - local walks , cycle rides, steam train trips and the coast is just a short easy drive away . Thank you Sally and Ken , we look forward to a return trip.

We spent a delightful week in Little Barn with two friends and their dog. The cottage is both truly relaxing and extremely well equipped. We wanted a quiet week in a peaceful environment and found Little Barn more than lived up to our hopes. Sally and Ken are charming and helpful, ready for a chat but only there if you want them. The surrounding country is quiet, very rural and beautful. We told Sally and Ken that we would go there again and we do mean to.

This is a delightful hideaway off the main tourist track in north Norfolk. Sally and Ken are professional gardeners, and the setting is delightful. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and we felt very at home. We felt secluded, but not isolated. Highly recommended!

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.
Thanks to Ken and Sally this was one of the most comfortable cottages we’ve ever stayed in. No sign of any plastic/leather chairs thank goodness. One problem is that now we’re home I may have to buy a new bed/mattress as the one in the cottage was so comfortable. We will definitely be back, hopefully next year, to sit in the lovely garden and do more exploring.
