A fantastic spot near the river. Very peaceful with lovely walks all around. The Boat Barn was beautiful with everything we needed. We had a great time and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed it too. An ideal holiday with them.

Boathouse Barn is a well equipped and immaculately maintained property in a beautiful location. There is plenty of space and it suited our family group of five very well. The beds were comfortable and the underfloor heating kept the Barn warm and inviting, despite a cold and damp December weekend.

Picture perfect property! A Countryside setting was exactly what my family needed to spend quality time together. The Boathouse Barn is beautifully decorated and designed on the inside. The outside is beautiful and charming. Looking forward to returning on our next visit!

Excellent accommodation- clean and in a beautiful location. Sat nav misdirected us and so more detailed instructions might have been helpful and the front door was a little stiff. Otherwise first class and well equipped place.

We (2 adults & 1 child) had a wonderful week staying at Boathouse Barn! I received very helpful information from Norfolk Holiday Properties before arrival but had no cause to contact them during our stay. The property itself is stunning and in a beautiful tranquil location right next to the river. There is lots to do in the area but we spent most of the time in the grounds of the property or exploring the river by canoe and paddle board. The owner of the property was easily contactable, very approachable and couldn’t seem to do enough to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful place to stay. Would highly recommend staying. The host was very pleasant told us about the walks and hiring their boat or canoe if we wanted to. Their dogs were loose which is fine but did have to be very careful of driving down the driveway as they came very close to the cars.

Wow what a discovery! Boathouse Barn is set in idyllic grounds. Where else can you row a boat to the local pub?! The photos do not do it justice! What’s more the kitchen is very well equipped for those who like to cook; and the BBQ outside was simple but perfect for our stay. The Barn is close to the Broads and the gorgeous beaches of Norfolk. A real winner of a holiday - thank you!

We stayed, as a group of six, over a long weekend earlier this month. The accommodation was very spacious, recently refurbished, clean and well maintained throughout. The location is superb, with tennis courts within the grounds, a fabulous pub/restaurant (Recruiting Sergeant) a short stroll away and easy access to the Bute Valley railway/cycle path and Wroxham. We all had a great time and would recommend to friends and family.

Stunning and disabled friendly property. It was difficult to know whether it would be ok for our disabled guest to manoeuvre, as it wasn’t listed as such, but Norfolk HP were very helpful. Thank you

We had an absolutely fabulous, relaxing break. I spent some time fishing - caught some lovely Roach and a nice Bream - al returned unharmed of course! The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, with nature at every glance. We saw a Grass Snake swimming across the river - I haven't seen one of those since childhood - as well as a Kingfisher, and a beautiful family of swans with 6 cygnets! Sunday was quite busy with very friendly people paddle-boarding so we had a nice chat to quite a few people. In summary, a fabulous break, fabulous location and hoping to return as soon as possible!!

Wow! Amazing location, amazing property and amazing host. So peaceful and calm. One of those places you don’t really want to let others know about as you want it all to yourself! The river is beautiful and the grounds are stunning. It immerses you in nature. Super high quality interior and oodles of space. Don’t hesitate, book it.

6 of us stayed at the property,everything that we needed was there,apart from the weather,but that didn’t stop our enjoyment of the surroundings,beautiful setting by the river,lovely grounds,our host Caroline was very helpful.

Beautiful , peaceful location , super comfy beds, very well equipped. The property was advertised as 3 bathrooms, however there was just one en - suite and one downstairs with bath and toilet . The” third bathroom “ was a small shower in the utility room. This meant the second upstairs bedroom had no toilet facilities . This was very difficult as all 3 couples needed their own bathrooms especially at night

Enjoyed a lovely few days in the boat house. The property was clean, spacious, and met the needs of our families. The scenery was beautiful and the tennis court was a fantastic place for the kids to play. The local pubs and tourist attractions were fab. Thoroughly recommend.

This converted barn is absolutely stunning and set in a wonderfully peaceful location with a river running by. Caroline, the host lives nearby and was very helpful and friendly. There’s lots to do in the area and Norwich is close by with all facilities.

When you head down the driveway at the entrance, it becomes apparent you’ve arrived somewhere very, very special. And the Boathouse Barn itself is equally as stunning as it’s surroundings. It’s clear that a lot of time and effort has gone into making this a high-quality, well-designed and homely place to stay. The large kitchen and living area was excellent for our group, and though the property is on two levels, the bathroom and one bedroom is on the ground floor, which is excellent if anybody has an issue with mobility/stairs. Caroline was very welcoming and friendly, offering local advice for our stay and welcoming our dog Seb too. Just be aware that gineaufowl are on site if you bring a pet. Location-wise it’s perfect - only a short drive to Norwich, and not far from the lovely coastal town of Cromer. Top tip: book ahead for lunch or dunner at The Gunton Arms (tremendous) or the nearby pub Recruiting Soldier - both are excellent, but booking is advised. Boathouse Barn is a real gem. We had a magnificent stay and would highly recommend it!

An outstanding property in a magical location. The barn is really spacious, stylish and very well equipped. The location is superb being only a 10 minute walk from a great pub and a deli. It is sited behind the main house but has great privacy and is right next to the gently flowing river Bure. We stayed in February when the snowdrops were out in abundance carpeting the surrounding parkland and woodlands. The morning walk with our dog through the woods with birds of prey swooping around, gave an uplifting start to the day. We very much appreciated the underfloor heating too. I would have no hesitation recommending this property and hope to visit again.

Beautiful house, tastefully renovated, and in a fantastic location, with all the facilities and space needed for a perfect family Christmas! Set in beautiful surroundings by the river, with great walks though the woods, around the estate and village, just look out for the guineafowl - larger than you think!

The Boathouse Barn is beautiful and perfect for a family gathering. Lots of excellent finishing touches that gave us a ton of inspiration for when we renovate our own home . We also loved the grounds - the river and the guinea fowl were family favorites! Strongly recommend this property.

We have just returned from the most amazing trip to the boathouse barn. The pictures really don’t do this lovely place justice. The barn is so spacious well heated and cosy, decor was beautiful and grounds that it is set within stunning. The kitchen equipment, ovens etc were perfect for our stay, we had everything we needed and we loved the little touches like chocolate fingers, milk and butter supplied for us upon arrival. Great TV in the living room for those rainy stay at home days, Netflix, amazon prime, itv hub etc. The enclosed garden space was great for our dogs who also stayed. Check in and out was easy and we met Lily who was on call if we needed anything, she was super lovely! There is a great pub just a 10 min walk away called the recruiting Sargent and we also visited the Gunton arms which was a 20 min drive (suggested in our welcome pack). Thank you for making us feel so welcome, we cannot wait to visit again soon!

Just returned from an amazing week at Boat House Barn. Facilities were top notch, property is decorated and equipped to a very high standard. The location is idyllic right next to a very pretty river, short walk to a great pub, easy drive to the coast and nearby towns. Caroline and Matthew were amazing hosts letting us use there canoe, kayaks and paddle boards (great pub on river is a short paddle away), inviting us to pick veg from there garden and greenhouse, offering good advice on the local area and being on hand if we needed anything. We would definitely visit again, can’t fault this property, don’t hesitate to book.

We absolutely loved our stay in this big beautiful barn. There is so much to do here - tennis, canoing down the river that runs next to the property and down towards the pub, walking the beautiful property, and visiting the nearby beaches for a day trip. But we also enjoyed just as much relaxing in the beautiful garden. This place is also just a short drive from Norwich but also walking distance to a small shop & pubs! Caro and Matt were also very welcoming and friendly! Definitely recommend staying here!

We had a dream stay at the Boathouse Barn - stylish, immaculately clean and incredibly comfortable. Fab location right on the river but also easy walking distance from shops, pubs etc. Caroline was the perfect host and gave us great insider tips on the area. Highly recommend - we could not have asked for more!
