The Experience

It’s a generous place to stay with a welcome hamper of Norfolk products, seasonal vegetables from the owners’ allotment, fresh flowers from the garden, eggs from the chickens you will meet and juice from their own apples. There’s a wildlife meadow to wander and an array of birds you might be lucky to spot: snipe in the pond, nesting kestrels, swallows and starlings, robins and pink-footed geese in winter.

Cooks will be very happy in the kitchen – Emma is a keen cook so knives are sharp, pans are pukka and there’s a big island for joining in. Choose to eat on the balcony or the decking below. You’ll find a barbecue facing west, a lawn big enough for kicking a football about and a shared games barn with a fire pit plus a pool table for rainy days.

A ten-minute walk will take you to Winterton-on-Sea for village shops, fish and chips, a tea room, pub and café and there are two good farm shops nearby so you can shop local.

Reviews

A lovely place to stay with friends or family, near to both the coast for stunning beaches, seals and sunsets and also the Broads for boating and birding. The whole place is filled with wildlife thanks to the owners' planting and planning.

Our third stay in the grain barn, absolutely fantastic, great place, beautifully clean, spacious, modern and with amazing views. Already booked for next year.


Olivia, London

A beautiful home in a wonderful location - peaceful and dog/child friendly! Our hosts were very welcoming and the thoughtfulness to the eco-credentials are evident. It was a very relaxing week and perfect location for walks to the beach or to nearby sights - will definitely return.


Marlies, London

Fantastic Christmas week at Mill Farm Eco Barns. It's definitely a home from home. The Grain Barn is very comfortable and tastefully decorated (including a Christmas tree!). Plenty of space for 4 adults and a dog. Well equipped kitchen with a range cooker, perfect for cooking our Christmas dinner. The barn was well maintained and immaculately clean. The hosts left a really lovely hamper of apple juice, homemade bread and cupcakes, dog biscuits etc. Hosts were always on hand if we needed anything. Spectacular views from the barn across the fields. Wouldn't hesitate to return.


Location

The neighbourhood

The beach is a five-minute walk from the village - miles of sand on the edge of the National Nature Reserve with a seal colony all year round and babies at Christmas. It's lovely flat countryside for cycling (try the Burnley Hall Estate) and you're just 3 miles from the Broads National Park for electric boats, paddle boards and even more birds. Blickling and Sheringham (NT) are close.

Local points of interest from Emma Punchard

  • Located on the edge of the delightful village of Winterton on sea. Glorious sand dunes, beaches, pub, cafe and brilliant children's play area within walking distance.  Games barn on site.
  • Amazing seal colony between Winterton beach and Horsey over 2000 baby seals born on the beach between Nov and mid Jan.
  • Broads National Park is ideal for boating, canoeing, walking and cycling. Lots of fabulous walks direct from Barn., we provide a walking guide on arrival.
  • Award winning adventure park BeWilderwood is 20 minutes from the barn and is an amazing day out for the entire family
  • National Trust Horsey Windmill along the coast. Other National Trust properties are within easy reach.
  • Have a day at Yarmouth's sea front - icluding the hippodrome circus. Lots of good local pubs and award winning restaurants.

Introducing

Emma Punchard

Emma (an organic food specialist) and Neil (an ecologist) live in the main house. They're committed to improving the land, have planted miles of hedgerows and over 2,000 trees. They try to keep their footprint as light as possible and have built the barns using sustainable materials - even your duvet is vegan. Emma has created a walking guide to the local area - 5 different graded walks.
