Comfortably furnished and equipped, it makes a superb holiday venue for large families or groups. Large floor-to-ceiling windows, the length of the property, enable outstanding views to be enjoyed across meadowland. From the sofas or the huge dining table, guests can watch sheep grazing lazily in the fields, observe the wildlife on the busy farm pond (fenced), and spot the barn owls which hunt from ancient oaks. Guests can use the wall-size map of Norfolk to plan days out and about in the surrounding area.
There are walks and trails to enjoy around the farm (with unfenced ponds). The spectacular unspoilt Norfolk coastline and traditional market towns of Swaffham, Ely and Kings Lynn, are within easy reach.

The house is very spacious and well equipped. The spiral staircase up to the two bedrooms is very steep and narrow, this could prevent some less able people accessing this area. It is too steep for younger children without very close supervision. The location of the house is very peaceful, great for a relaxing time together.

Wow, we thought our last stay elsewhere was great but The Granary tops it hands down. The place was so well equipped with everything one needed with lots of extras. The location is in easy reach of main routes to visit other places of interest and the farm itself is lovely and peaceful. We would highly recommend The Granary

The Granary was set in a gorgeous rural location. It was a lovely property which has been masterfully refurbished, whilst the finishings remind you of its history as a granary. It was well equipped, comfortable and the owners were very helpful and accommodating.
