Property code: OC-1793

This fabulous property, situated just outside Thursford, famous for its Christmas Spectacular, is the perfect place for a countryside retreat. Sleeping six over three bedrooms with space for up to two dogs to join you, this property is ideal for families or groups of friends that don’t want to leave anyone behind. Spend summer days in the amazing garden spaces, either sizzling up a BBQ on the patio or wandering through the orchard to shelter from the sun.

As soon as you step into this barn conversion you’re greeted by its character and charm. The open-plan, double-height living area is filled with light with huge patio doors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Curl up on the sofa and read a book, looking out into the garden beyond. Cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen and dine around the large table, or head outside for some al fresco dining. When it’s time for bed, move through to the ground-floor twin room or go upstairs along the fantastic glass walkway to the other two bedrooms; both have tranquil neutral decor to promote a good night’s sleep, but be aware of the low wooden beams!

Make sure you visit the renowned Thursford Collection (1 mile) where you’ll vintage fairground rides and steam engines; nearby Thursford Wood (3 miles) is great for a walk. Children will love Pensthorpe Natural Park (7 miles), where the WildRootz adventure playground has plenty to keep them entertained, or you could visit Holt Country Park (8.5 miles). A boat trip with Bishop’s Boats Seal Trips (9.5 miles) is well worth it to spot seals basking on Blakeney Point, or you could set sail on Lucy Lavers, a boat used in the Dunkirk evacuations, for a bit of history from Wells-Next-The-Sea (7.5 miles).

Golden Lion Barn was a great place for a family stay. The property was very comfortable and well equipped, and is only 20 minutes from Wells Next The Sea and Holkham. Despite the weather in March being quite cold, the house was always a comfortable temperature. The enclosed back garden is perfect if you're staying with a dog, and the entrance toRead more the front is also enclosed. The kitchen had everything needed, and there is plenty of space for preparing meals. The original roof timbers add great character to the property, and the tallest member of our party only bumped his head once! :) There are supermarkets that are 15 minutes away, which is also very handy.

Lovely barn conversion in a great location, could access lots of places quite easily with a short car journey. Back gate does need fixing though.

A very well equipped, comfortable cottage in a lovely location, an especially good welcome pack with soft drinks, tea, crisps and biscuits. Gorgeous spacious garden. Overall excellent. Our only quibble is no tumble drier, just a washing machine (unless we just missed something!).
