Stables Barn

Stables Barn is a very spacious single-storey brick and flint building that has been converted from the old stables, and has dreamy views across undulating meadows to the little Victorian flint church over the valley. Its generously proportioned main rooms have a cool Scandinavian mood, decorated in relaxing shades of blue and green for a calm and comfortable atmosphere. On one side the barn has a sheltered walled courtyard for soaking up the sun and on the other, a large terrace and lawn.

The barn has its own spacious enclosed garden, and there are also shared games rooms, a spa and a steam room. A gentle fifteen minute walk, following in the footsteps of Henry VIII, takes you to the medieval village of Walsingham. This is home to the shrine of Our Lady, visited by pilgrims from around the world, founded in 1061 when the lady of the manor built a Holy House modelled on a dream vision of Jesus’ house in Nazareth. Little remains of the C13th Priory, but the famous Abbey gardens may be visited and have spectacular drifts of snowdrops in springtime.

The barn consists of five spacious bedrooms including two four posters, two king size beds (one can be made into two singles), and a childrens’ bedroom with twin beds, all with ensuite bathroom or shower and WC.

There is a panelled sitting room with window seat and woodburning stove, huge panelled dining hall with open plan kitchen and antique dining table to seat ten, a small laundry room with butler's sink, washing machine and tumble drier and a downstairs cloakroom.

Other facilities include: real fire, central heating, free wireless internet, house linen. In summer you can open the doors to the courtyard, letting in the sun and enjoying the fantastic views. In winter the underfloor heating and woodburner keep the barn really cosy and warm.

Entertainment facilities include: TV, DVD player, Radio, CD System, Freeview, Table Tennis. Why not book a session for exclusive access to the spa pool or chill out in the steamroom? Also available are two games rooms, one with table tennis and darts and one with table football.

Outside there is a terrace, garden, BBQ, parking and garden furniture. There is a sunny fully enclosed courtyard to the southwest and on the meadow side is a large lawn, terrace with table and seating for ten with wonderful views across to the church.

Wherever you are in Norfolk the unspoilt North Norfolk coast is never very far away and the variety of landscape in this part of East Anglia is remarkable, all nestling under wonderful big blue skies: from sandstone cliffs to saltmarsh; from sandy beach to shingle; from muddy creek banks to crashing breakers – all to explore from Hunstanton to Sheringham and round to Happisburgh.

There’s much to do for all ages and interests: beautiful beaches for picnics, swimming or just walking, hidden creeks on the saltmarshes, fantastic birdwatching, easy cycling, lake or sea fishing, quaint villages, shopping in the sophisticated small towns of Holt and Burnham Market or visit more traditional seaside resorts like Hunstanton and Cromer.

You can sail at Morston; windsurf or kitesurf at Brancaster; take a boat trip to see the seals at Blakeney Point, hire a beach hut at Wells-next-the-Sea; stride along the grand expanse of Holkham beach; explore creeks and quays at Brancaster and Burnham Overy Staithe; go twitching on the salt marshes of Cley-next-the-Sea for rare sightings; eat excellent local food at any number of pubs and restaurants.

For keen golfers Norfolk has some of the most dramatic and challenging golf courses in the country: try Sheringham, Royal West Norfolk at Brancaster, Royal Cromer or King’s Lynn.

Take in the sights from the Walsingham & Wells narrow gauge railway, or visit some of the most spectacular stately homes, historic houses and gardens in the country: Holkham, Houghton, Blickling and Oxburgh and Royal Sandringham are all within easy distance.

Go a little bit further inland and discover the Norfolk Broads: miles and miles of inland waterways to explore where you may hire a motor cruiser, traditional sailing boat or take a guided tour in this wonderfully unspoilt nature reserve, rich in wildlife.
