The Experience

Much thought has gone into making sure you have everything you need. Underfloor heating keeps you cosy, comfortable sofas surround a wood-burner, there are books to read, games to play and colourful artefacts to admire. On sunnier days you can sit outside admiring the views, or have a picnic in the grounds – you’ll find places to sit, cushions and rugs, binoculars and a picnic basket.

The kitchen is swish with kit, the wooden table big enough for guests, and everywhere you sit you can see those huge skies. Sleep peacefully in layers of wool, silk and cashmere – the bed is separated from the living area by a bookcase and the smart shower room has oodles of space. Any traffic noise is faint, but you will hear owls hooting and the barking of deer.

Set off through gorgeous countryside for woodland walks, cycle the flat lanes, spot many birds; return to light the barbecue, admire magnificent sunsets, wait for a myriad of stars to appear, with darting bats swooping overhead.

Reviews

I was lucky enough to spend two nights in this lovely place during the hot summer. Mafalda and Chris were superb hosts and they very kindly gave us a delicious vegetarian dinner after a long hot slog on the motorway. I was entranced by Mafalda's wonderful collection of African art and craft. The spacious and comfortable Granary barn provided everything needed for a relaxing Norfolk weekend.

Location

The neighbourhood

The nearest village is Bawdeswell (one mile) for a village shop selling most things. Reepham (three miles) is a pretty Georgian market town with The Kings Arms pub, the Dial House for coffee and fresh pastries, a grocery, butcher and deli. Country houses to visit include Houghton Hall for art exhibitions, Elsing Hall, the Blickling Estate and Holkham Hall – a grand Palladian estate with deer.

Local points of interest from Mafalda Vince

  • Foxley Wood – Step straight from the garden into ancient Foxley Wood, a beautiful Site of Special Scientific Interest. Particularly spectacular in spring when the woodland floor is carpeted with bluebells, and wonderful for wildlife and birdwatching.
  • Marriott’s Way – Just five minutes away, this 26-mile walking and cycling trail follows a disused railway line through beautiful Norfolk countryside, with abundant wildlife and historic station stops.
  • Heydon Village – A ten-minute drive takes you to this enchanting, unspoilt village, with its village green, traditional tea room and candlelit Earle Arms pub. Enjoy a lovely walk around the surrounding estate.
  • Reepham – Just three miles away, this charming historic market town has a fantastic butcher, greengrocer, bakery, chemist, post office and delicatessen. 17th-century Kings Arms for a cozy pub meal or the delightful Dial House for coffee and breakfast.
  • Historic Norfolk – Explore magnificent Blickling Hall, a Jacobean stately home with gardens and extensive parkland, and its connections with Anne Boleyn. Nearby, enjoy a Sunday roast at the Buck Arms or a meal at the gastropub The Brisley Bell.
  • Farm Shops, Market Towns and Coast – Visit Algy’s Farm Shop for local produce, explore Holt’s Georgian streets, independent boutiques and cafés, or head to the beautiful North Norfolk coast. Holkham’s vast sandy beach, pinewoods and spectacular birdlife make a wonderful day out.
