Fabulous stay

We stayed as a large family group in the Eco Barn (The Garden House & Avocet) for a long weekend to celebrate 3 birthdays. The adjoining houses were absolutely ideal for us, extremely well equipped, great facilities, fabulous hot tub, and a lovely enclosed field directly behind which the children absolutely loved. There are beaches nearby, the swimming pool is fabulous and the area is beautiful and very quiet. The hosts are also amazing, wouldn't hesitate to go back again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Eco Barn

We enjoyed our stay at Eco Barn. The hot tub and gas bbq were excellent. The tennis courts, swimming pool and games room were great but the booking system for the swimming pool was poor. The pool was often empty when we might have liked to use it. When you are on holiday you don’t want your time to be regimented. It would have been very helpful to have more crockery, cutlery etc in Garden house so it didn’t have to be carried through from Avocet. There was a real problem with the number of flies and wasps especially when the bifold doors were open. It was very hot during our visit so the doors were open a lot. The location was good and there were plenty of things to do.

Group Stay

We stayed as a group of 14 (including two infants) for a long weekend. Starting with the positives, the onsite facilities were fantastic and well enjoyed by all, particularly the pool, play area and tennis courts. The set up of the cottage theoretically worked well for our group (although not quite enough seating to all eat together) and the setting is beautiful. It’s in easy reach of the North Norfolk coast. Unfortunately we did have an issue with our property. Some wood in the courtyard had been treated prior to our stay and caused significant fumes in the living space and outside area for the first couple of days. The owners did try to deal with it by sealing the wood but unfortunately the fumes remained strong and we were unable to use the larger kitchen/living area or the courtyard with the hot tub and apart from on our last night when the fumes had lifted. This had a significant impact on our stay and we would have appreciated the owners checking in on us after it was reported.

A very special place

The Eco Barn is a really great sociable space and has all the features and luxury touches that make for a relaxing holiday. It is very spacious and furnished to a high standard for guest comfort. The outdoor space is really lovely, with the field beyond full of wildlife. The location is very peaceful and relaxing and the benefit of a pool, tennis court and games room makes it a great choice for the whole family. The complex is just the right size to feel very relaxed and peaceful and not busy and crowded. We will definitely return to this very special place, and I highly recommend it for a lovely holiday.
