  • A pair of beautifully converted single-storey barns, perfect for group holidays
  • Each of the spacious properties is stylishly furnished and sleeps up to six
  • Great for children, with a huge games barn and enclosed play area in the shared grounds

Property code: OC-1790

This fantastic pair of barns offers the ultimate space for a big family or friends’ reunion. Sleeping 12 with six bedrooms across the two barns, there’s enough room for everyone to have their own space but still come together in the brilliant social spaces. Spend family evenings in the games barn, challenging each other to table tennis, snooker or darts before grilling up a feast on the BBQ and dining alfresco.

Both barns have wonderful features such as exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and exposed flint and stone walls. Peaceful interiors and a cosy wood burner in each open-plan living space gives everyone the opportunity to unwind after a long day out exploring. While the first barn has a sleek kitchen and a dining area for six, everyone can get together in the second barn where a 14-seat table sits among huge beamed ceilings in a bright and airy space. Watch the kids play football on the lawn or on the swing and slide in the woodland area until the sun goes down. Whichever barn you stay in, all the bedrooms promote a great night’s sleep with calming, neutral decor; most have exposed beams along with a fabulous mix of contemporary and traditional furnishings.

Head off to Cley Beach (3 miles) for exceptional views, or head into Blakeney to Bishop’s Boats Seal Trips (3 miles) to see the seals basking in the sun. Holt Country Park (3 miles) is perfect for a woodland walk, especially on a hot day, or you could go on a steam or diesel train ride on the Poppy Line with North Norfolk Railway (6 miles). Walsingham Abbey and Shirehall Museum (10.5 miles) is great for a bit of history, as is the National Trust’s Felbrigg Hall (11 miles).

We had Taylors and Bixies Barns for our family Christmas - ten adults (one who uses a wheelchair most of time) three children (one a baby) and two dogs. The barns met all our varying needs, they are spacious and in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. We had a lovely time.

Swan Lodge Barns is set in a beautiful part of North Norfolk and has been perfect for a winter visit. We had a wonderful long weekend enjoying the local area with long walks and lunch at a local pub. The Barns are very warm with underfloor heating and welcoming and they have a lovely ambiance, providing lots of space and seating for a family group Read moreyet they also have a cosy feel with big sofas and a wood burning stove. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is plenty of storage space as well as a wine cooler! We loved coming here for a second visit! Hide

We came to these properties to celebrate my 50th birthday. The photos of the properties do not do this place justice. We stayed in Taylors Barn and Bixies Barn with 12 people and both were beautiful. The property is very private and accommodates 6 people in each very comfortably with the dining area in Taylors Barn more than big enough for 12 peoRead moreple to dine. The properties have everything you would need in the kitchens to cater to every kind of meal. There is also plenty of space for cars (we had 6 cars parked). Its only a 5 minute drive into the village and there is a big supermarket in the village if you need anything. The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable but note that one room in each barn has 2 beds quite close together, great for kids. The lounge area is also very comfortable and all 12 of us had a seat. I really cannot recommend this place enough and hope to come back again and again. All of the people were so friendly to deal with including the owner and happily responded to WhatsApp to quick questions. With the keys being on a key code it's easy to manage getting into the properties. We felt very safe, very comfortable and very happy. I would also highly recommend Chef To Home (Eniko) if you are looking for a chef to come in and cook for you. Also outstanding. Hide

Lovely place. We had 2 barns which were beautiful and very well equipped. The games barn was excellent with lots of games etc for adults and children. There was a large grassed area for outside ball games. It was very nice indeed.

Secluded and very comfortable barns, but close to all the local highlights - Holt, Beaches at Salthouse, Cley, Blakeney, Holkham and Sheringham. Ideal properties for two familes, or a group of friends to share.

Swan Lodge Barns was perfect for our Winter family gathering. It is in a wonderful setting close to many footpaths and the coast.

Beautiful, well appointed barn conversation. Very roomy, clean and comfortable. We had Taylors barn and Bixes barn which worked really well with the properties being opposite each other. Although remote it is only a short ride away from the many surrounding villages. We will certainly stay here again when we visit this neck of the woods.
