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😂

Clean, warm and lovely interior. Great communication with the owner and the property is fantastic inside and out. Stayed over New Year and the barn is in a great place to get out and about. Overall, we had a lovely relaxing weekend and would definitely return.
