The Experience

In the grounds of Mill Farm where the owners live (he’s an ecologist, she’s an organic food specialist), is a big beautiful barn with space to spread out. Views reach over farmland while brick and flint walls and willow screens create privacy from next door; the big patio is a safe place for children. Enter an open-plan living room with vaulted ceilings and a bright airy feel; the central oak staircase winds you to the mezzanine and bedrooms above (two are up, two are down). Fossil-stone slabs line the floor, sleek leather sofas are deliciously comfy and children will love the hanging chair. Delightful Emma gives you a fabulous hamper (veg from the allotment, home-baked cake and more), logs for the wood-burner, and has a wonderful eye for colour and design. Bedrooms are spacious and calming, one with a balcony for sundowners; bathrooms are the bee’s knees. Hay Barn is close by – snug for two (and space for a little one) with a wood-burner and enclosed patch of garden. There are books, games, TV with surround sound, bikes to borrow and toddlers’ seats, and you can walk to pub, fish shop, small store and beach.

Reviews

Sandy, London

I made a very last minute booking, sitting over a cup of tea in a Hampton Court cafe, browsing for the best places to photograph baby seals (niche, I know). A few hours later I found myself in Winterton-on-Sea, my car packed to the gills with warm clothing and camera lenses, and a little food, ready for a few days on the beach. Emma and Neil were as welcoming and amenable as I could possibly have wished, and the Hay Barn was for me the perfect base for mini-adventure. It’s comfortable and warm and the WiFi is great. I’ll be back, no doubt. Many thanks, you’ve built a lovely place, guys.


Katie, Sheffield

Thank you so much Emma and Neil. We’ve just returned from a wonderful weekend at your beautiful eco barn. It had everything we needed, was immaculate and very stylish and modern. The village was lovely and we enjoyed the walks to the beach. The welcome treats were well received, especially the enormous cake, the home made jam and the produce from your allotment. We found plenty to do around the area. Loved it. Thank you again


Richard, Bury St Edmunds

We booked the Eco Barn for a family holiday, what a find so much space for all 8 of us and a baby. We felt very much at home and had a great time. The Eco Barn is ideally situated on the edge of the village but close to the pub and beach. There is lots to do in the area with The Broads and lovely walks in the countryside and dunes. Horsey is well worth a visit, we were lucky enough to see the seals on the beach. A lovely holiday enjoyed by us all.


Geoff, Haywards Heath

Enjoyed another wonderful week staying at Ecobarn. We were very happy to return with our family. Lots of toys for our young grandchildren and great games room for the older ones and adults. The barn offers great family accommodation and is very well equipped. Emma and Neil are excellent hosts and made us very welcome with a tasty cake and basket of goodies on our arrival.


Christine, Liverpool

We had a most wonderful stay at Millfarm Eco Barn. We had five adults, three children and a dog and there was tons of space of us all. The barn was well equipped and very clean. Gorgeous views and sunsets from the barn and a short walk to the lovely pub and not crowded beach. I couldn’t fault anything- weather was glorious and we enjoyed visits to various local attractions. Emma was lovely- a very good host. We will definitely return.
