About this house rental

Built in the early 1900s as a stable block and tractor shed, the barn has been redesigned by a local architect with modern living and comfort in mind whilst retaining original beams. Sitting in it's own wrap around garden with views onto the fields the barn has an open plan living room with a log burner for cosy nights inside whilst the sun drenched patio offers the ideal spot for alfresco dining or watching the sun go down. A grassed lawn stretching the length of the stable block links with a second patio off the master bedroom suite. It offers plenty of space to relax and unwind all year round.
You may spot the local barn owls, bats circling over the garden in the evenings, geese migrating across the skies or muntjac and deer roaming the fields.
The barn is situated in the small peaceful hamlet of Runham with a shop and 2 pubs approximately 2 miles away in neighboring villages. From the barn take a gentle walk down to the River Bure across open fields for a picnic or a 20 minute walk along the country roads will lead you to Thrigby Wildlife Gardens. In the village there is a small children's playground and village green.
Empty roads and the odd gentle hill makes cycling easy and pleasurable for all abilities. The expansive unspoilt sandy beaches of Caister await 5 miles away for swimming , sand castles and seal spotting, while boat hire on the broads is just 3 miles.
Please note that the barn has 2 open steps between the dining area and main living space and a step in the master bedroom. In addition, it does not have hand rails in either of the bathrooms.

From the moment we stepped through the door we felt at home. Absolutely beautiful, we loved everything about the barn. Two beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms, comfy sofas with all kitchen amenities you could want. We made great use of the table tennis tablefire pit. Lovely welcome basket containing loads of lovely goodies. One of the best places we have stayed.

Perfect in every way, we really can’t fault the property at all. Beautiful high quality decor, fixtures and fittings. Wonderfully comfortable and homely. Really well equipped with everything needed. The thoughtful welcome hamper complete with home cooked cake and other lovely goodies was a lovely touch. Highly recommend this beautiful home for a peaceful and tranquil break. Thank you Viv and David.

Viv's property is an absolute jewel nestled in a peaceful village setting. The barn is airy and big, spotless and equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay- Viv even left us a welcoming hamper full of treats, whcih we absolutely loved. Big bonus were the children books and games- we had a lot of fun!

The place is lovely and the host seems to have thought of everything. Home made bread and cupcakes were a very nice touch. Location is great for getting to family-friendly attractions (e.g. Bewilderwood). Warm, comfy, finished to a high standard, excellent bathrooms. Our son enjoyed the box of Lego. Really can't fault it!

Quietly tucked away in rural Runham, Bishop’s Barn is a little gem suitable for and caters for all ages. Viv spoils you with homemade bread upon request, a delightful welcome basket and homemade cakes! All Easter themed too. Our little boy was also surprised on Easter Sunday with a basket in the shape of a sheep full of Easter eggs. Wonder who left them? Kind and thoughtful hosts who have converted the barn into a high end, glossy home style magazine -worthy property. Tastefully furnished throughout with a unique sea worthy nod in the form of wall art. A very well equipped kitchen, sustainably sourced and slightly amusing bathroom accessories, fluffy towels and crisp bed linen, and not forgetting the quality beds, make you not want to leave! And who would want to when Blanche and Bluebell lay scrummy eggs for you! A truly wonderful stay, whether you’re lucky enough to grab some solitude with peace and quiet thrown in, or if it’s a base for wandering adventures, you will not be disappointed. Oh, and Norfolk’s nice too😂

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bishop’s Barn for a week. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable family vacation. The barn is beautifully situated in a quiet, rural location. It is also close to a number of popular attractions, such as the Broads and the Norfolk Coast The barn itself is spacious and very well-equipped, with everything we needed for our stay. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the bathrooms are modern and clean. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to cook and eat at home. We particularly enjoyed the living space, which is great for relaxing, eating and spending time together. The addition of toys and board games kept our little boy entertained throughout our stay. Also, the welcome pack from the host we found on arrival was very much appreciated!

I stay here with my wife and two children who are aged 1 and 5 and we had a lovely time. Theres lots of space, its very open and such a bright welcoming space. Everywhere was clean and tidy, the welcome basket was very good too and much appreciated and we settled in very quickly. There were some books, games and toys in the property which went down well with the kids and the garden and patio area were used on warmer days. In terms of location it is a relatively short drive to Great Yarmouth and there are some pubs even closer than this. There are places to eat nearby for the children and we never had to drive more than 30 mins to get to any of the locations we wanted to visit in Norfolk. Overall, very nice, very clean, very welcoming and a good location. We would happily stay again in the future.

Have just returned from a lovely week at this property. The property itself was spotless, and the kids loved the games, lego and books that were available. The welcome basket, homemade bread and cakes were delicious! Location is ideal for popping down to the coast, and a number of family attractions closeby. We will return Thank you

Organising a short holiday with one's elderly mother and work colleague/friend who have never spent time together before can go one way or another. Thankfully it went the good way and it was made even better by this beautiful property and it's surrounding countryside. The care and detail the owners have put into making this such a comfortable place to stay and relax in was palpable. From the little ducks placed on top of the wonderfully large bath towels to the welcome basket of pots of jam and homemade cakes I wondered if I could find places like this across the world I may never need to go to a hotel again. And the relaxing part - yep that started the moment we took off our shoes and put our cases down.

We had a marvellous stay. Contact with the owner was excellent and the property was spotlessly clean. On arrival the welcome pack was one of the best we have ever received, particularly the homemade bread and cakes. The owners have managed to think of everything you could possibly need for a holiday and the location is in easy reach of many of the Norfolk highlights. Would highly recommend.

The barn is absolutely beautiful and we had a lovely family break. We had the most wonderful weather which meant we could have breakfast outside on the patio every morning. Viv was there to meet us when we arrived and left us the most wonderful welcome pack with fresh bread and a cake as well as other goodies. There were also fresh flowers on the table. Thanks again Viv

If there were boxes to be ticked then this place ticks all of them! It’s absolutely stunning, beautifully designed and the attention to detail is wonderful. Welcome gifts are a lovely touch and felt thoroughly spoilt to have homemade cakes and bread. Coffee in the morning on the patio set us up for the day and there was no shortage of things to do in the area. It totally felt like a home from home and both my mum and I just didn’t want to leave. A fantastic few days creating some wonderful memories in a truly beautiful place.

We had a lovely stay at Bishops Barn. The barn has been beautifully converted and decorated. It was spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The little touches - like toys and books for the children, and the gorgeous welcome basket of treats and homemade cakes - were hugely appreciated and made it feel extra special. Runham is a great location with easy access to the Broads and surrounding area. Viv was a brilliant host - we had easy communication throughout, she offered to make us fresh bread (delicious!) and we appreciated all the tips and suggestions for outings nearby. Such a great stay, we’ll be back!

Viv & Dave are top notch holiday hosts. Viv’s communication before our stay was brilliant, always replied in a timely fashion. On arrival the property was spotless and awaiting us on the table were loads of goodies. These included fizzy wine, baked goods, jams, honeys, beer, milk and more. The property is situated well with lots to do around it. In particular it is just down the road from Thrigby Hall, worth a visit. The village is extremely quiet with only the odd dog barking, chicken clucking or tractor in the field. The beds were super comfy and towels very soft. Viv & Dave even provided a cot, changing map, nappy bags, highchair and plenty of toys/games for the little one. Check out process was extremely easy too. Can’t rate the property enough. Amazing stay. Thank you.

The property was really spacious and "flowed" beautifully from the well appointed kitchen, through the dining area to the very roomy lounge/living area, and then on to the two bedrooms (one en suite) and family bath room. The design, cleanliness & finishes were all to an extremely high standard. There was also ample external space around the property with two patios from which to enjoy the setting sun. As an added bonus Viv had left an extremely generous welcome pack/hamper, which included, milk, coffee, a bottle of local apple juice, a bottle of beer, a half bottle of prosecco, crisps, fudge, mini pots of jam & honey & a home baked loaf. The village of Runham is extremely peaceful but there is a good choice of pubs and eateries within a 5 to 10 minute drive. Would we visit again? Most definitely.
