Nestled in the picturesque landscape of North Norfolk, Barsham Barns presents a collection of meticulously restored self-catering barns, offering an idyllic retreat for groups of all sizes. Our recent stay at the charming Loose Box barn provided a glimpse into the epitome of comfort, space, and style. Stepping into its interior adorned with elegant Farrow & Ball colors, one immediately senses a feeling of sophistication. While the barn serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area, it also tempts guests to simply unwind and relax, with access to a small spa and inviting fields and farms for leisurely strolls.
The Loose Box greets guests with a wealth of amenities and comforts, leaving little to be desired. Once a smithy and stable, this L-shaped sanctuary features an open-plan main living area, dining space, and kitchen at its core, with cozy bedrooms and bathrooms at each end. For added convenience during longer stays or after outdoor excursions, a utility room equipped with a washer/dryer stands ready. In the spacious courtyard, guests can enjoy al fresco dining with a BBQ and outdoor furniture, perfect for soaking up the sunshine on lazy summer days. Despite its rustic charm, complete with pastel shutters and exposed beams, the Loose Box seamlessly integrates modern conveniences like free WiFi, underfloor heating, and entertainment systems for moments of relaxation.
Dining options abound at Barsham Barns, with each barn featuring well-equipped kitchens tailored for family meals or group gatherings. For those who prefer a hassle-free experience, local supermarkets offer convenient delivery services, ensuring a stocked pantry upon arrival. The Loose Box itself offers a courtyard BBQ for outdoor cooking, while the option for catering services from a local chef adds a touch of luxury to any stay. Exploring the area reveals an array of excellent pubs and eateries, with recommendations provided by the accommodation for the best local purveyors of fresh produce.
