Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this beautiful barn-conversion in the peaceful village of Wighton. Sleeping eight people across three bedrooms, this stylish cottage is the perfect accommodation option for large families or groups of friends who want to discover the stunning North Norfolk coast together. Take a stroll around the village and you’ll find charming alleyways, quaint cottages, plenty of pretty gardens and a train station where the historic Wells to Walsingham narrow gauge steam railway makes a stop. In the evening, come home to this lovely cottage to host a dinner to remember for your loved ones in the stylish dining area.

Enter this inviting property and you’ll be greeted by the bright and spacious sitting room bathed in a beautiful palette of gentle, natural tones.

The house was very spacious and a pleasure to stay in, well equipped and comfortable. My poor rating is more to do with the agent's service. I emailed a couple of times but didn't get a particularly prompt response, e.g. the last time I waited 14 days and had to follow up to prompt a response. I also found it quite difficult to get information fRead morerom your 'help desk' about the property, e.g. I asked more about the coffee making facilities advertised in the website description, and was told that you didn't know; the person responding had checked the website photos to see what they could find out (as you keep no kitchen itinerary) and they suggested I bring any equipment with me. I brought coffee pods but they were too small for the machine. It's info like this which is really useful and make the difference in enjoying the whole holiday or needing to go out and search in local shops for the appropriate item, eating into the holiday time. We also found the checkin times very late and the checkout time too early, so found value for money quite poor when paying for a night's stay when the checkin time is 4pm - especially when trying to coordinate young children's routine.

The property was much larger than it looks from the photos and the house was very clean and well equipped. The 'Welcome' Basket of goodies was a nice touch and my children enjoyed the Norfolk cookies! Beware though, the garden is very small with not really anywhere to sit comfortably. Not safe for young children as you can't close the gates if you Read morehave 2 cars on the small driveway otherwise you will need to park outside the property on the road. The house is ideally situated and only a 5 minute drive to Wells Next-The-Sea. The local pub, The Carpenter's Arms is a fabulous place to dine and only a 5 minute walk through the pretty village. We thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf at Fakenham Golf Club too - pretty little course, not too taxing and very friendly staff. We also ventured down to Yarmouth for an evening of greyhound racing - a really fun time and restaurant food was excellent. Hide

Thank you for a lovely week in your beautiful house. We stuck lucky with the weather in British summertime.

I booked Orchard Barn to celebrate my 50th birthday. Myself and 4 friends stayed there for a walking holiday. Its in an excellent location to get to Wells quickly and we ate at the local pub one evening (5 minute walk away) and that was good too. We had loads of space for relaxing and the house was very comfortable. We took 3 cars and got all 3 parRead moreked there, 2 on the driveway and one opposite the house off the road.
