The Big Barn, Snettisham, Norfolk
A fabulous stand out conversion of a 19th century barn, enjoying wonderful open rural views that extend out towards the coast in Snettisham. From The Big Barn's west facing windows, you can spot The Wash estuary on a clear day, and witness the most wonderful sunsets that this area of North Norfolk is renowned for. This is an ideal property for both family and friends.
Forming part of the exclusive Park Farm Barns complex set high above the village of Snettisham, and accessed via a private road, The Big Barn, quietly tucked away at the far end of the development, benefits from the largest plot and wonderful uninterrupted views. Built of local brick, with the addition of weather boarding reflecting its proximity to the sea, this superb barn is a luxurious, top quality build. Inside you will find original exposed beams complemented by beautiful oak floors, doors and a statement open return staircase, a handmade fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces and four beautiful bedroom suites, including the impressive master bedroom with its fabulous handmade contemporary four poster bed. The vast light-filled ground floor open-plan living area, with french doors opening to the garden, is divided by a feature double-sided wood burning stove supplementing the underfloor heating. Aspiring chefs and domestic goddesses will have no problem rustling up a memorable meal in the adjacent kitchen, again with a door to the garden. It really is a thing of beauty and something to behold but practical too with an adjoining mud room/utility for dealing with the less glamorous side of life. Upstairs are the five well-appointed bedrooms (master king-size, two doubles, a twin and a bunk), and four smart bathrooms - all en-suite to the adult bedrooms. Outside, enjoy making the most of long summer days lazing and dining in the enclosed garden, pick an apple or two from the fruit trees, and relax while the children and dogs play safely.
The Big Barn is perfect for friends, a large family or two smaller ones to enjoy a really special holiday together, whatever your pleasure. It's an easy walk down to the village if you just want to grab a bite to eat, or maybe buy some provisions for dining in, and a short drive away from North West Norfolk's glorious coastline dotted with endless sandy beaches, nature reserves and amazing birdlife. Country house lovers will appreciate easy access to some magnificent local splendours - Sandringham House, Houghton Hall and Holkham Hall - with Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall a little further afield. If you are after some retail therapy, boutique shopping is available at Drove Orchards, Thornham Deli (both at nearby Thornham) and, of course, the pretty Georgian village of Burnham Market with its array of restaurants, shops, cafes and galleries.
For smaller groups this property is also available with use of just three of the five bedrooms, accommodating up to six guests listed as The Big Barn (6).
Additional Information: Three well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Duvets and pillows are synthetic fibre. Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own linen for the travel cot. There is no starter pack (tea, coffee, sugar and milk) or welcome hamper provided at this property.
Please note: Some of the driveway and garden fencing on the neighbouring field side of the fence has an electrified element to it to keep horses in the field. This is not dangerous and can only be touched by reaching over the fence. Small children of an adventurous nature should be supervised to prevent the temptation of climbing the fence.
We had a wonderful stay at the Big Barn.
Everything in the barn is of a high standard and it feels very comfortable.
The location is perfect with walks on the doorstep and the village in walking distance.
There are two pubs, Co op, pharmacy on hand in the village.
Could do with larger saucepans, they're not big enough for 10 and the large knives are useless but the property is beautiful.
Would definitely go again.

Great peaceful location
We had a lovely stay in The Big Barn - the house itself is lovely and spacious and the location is ideal as it is very peaceful and yet close enough to all of the main North Norfolk attractions so you get the best of both worlds. The kitchen was well equipped which is something that we have found not all rental properties are! There is plenty of parking but we learned our lesson on the first night - don't park under the large trees!
The children loved exploring the local area and there are lots of places to walk including into Snettisham.
The only negative I would say is the unfortunate side effect of staying next to a farm - the flies! They were a real nuisance in the kitchen but the rental company provided us with fly spray when requested. Perhaps a more permanent solution would help though...

Family group first trip out of lock-down
This was the first trip out of lock-down in 18 months and really needed! We lost our first booking due to the floods earlier in the year damaging another property in another part of Norfolk. The Big Barn was offered as the replacement and the initial disappointment felt when we lost our first choice was rapidly displaced in entering The Big Barn. It is a very high quality conversion and extremely well fitted out. Comfortable beds and great wooden floor throughout down stairs. The large lounge was ideal for our two/half year old to let of steam and play! Great location ideal for the coast and it's beaches - but our week was very mixed weather so we didn't get much beach time. Luckily plenty of places to visit - try Norfolk Lavender for a family outing as there is something there for all.
Enjoyable trip.
