The Haybarn, NECTON

Rated 5/50 by Malibu S on 15th March 2019

"3 of us stayed at the Haybarn for 3 nights. What a beautiful, peaceful location. I have never slept so well for a long time! The shower is large and powerful, you're not provided with complimentary toiletries (but who uses them anyway?!) but towels are provided. A lovely outside seating area which, unfortunately, due to weather we weren't really able to enjoy, however, in the summer I'm sure it's just delightful. There is everything you need in the kitchen including an iron, washing machine and dishwasher (think you might need to take your own powders/tablets etc to use). Very well centrally heated on timers with a little electric fire in the lounge if needed. As others have pointed out you will definately need a car to get about but some lovely walks to be had in the immediate area."

"Brilliant Holiday Cottage, the peace & tranquility were divine & hard to get used to for a day or 2. The owners are the salt of the earth. So gentle & understanding, picking up on individual needs ie that our son had a disability, and the owner came over each eve to get him to assist in letting the horses out. We entertained many visitors there & they ALL commented on how perfect the spot was"

"Lovely home from home in very quiet spot. Very well equipped cottage. Beds super comfy and hot water all of the time. You definitely need your own car here and it was a great base for exploring Norfolk. Nowhere was more than a 45 minute drive. Our only criticism is that upstairs is let out separately and this time was let to some scaffolders who got up at 4.30 every morning to go to work and the noise they made woke us all including the dog.

"Clearly the owners have put a lot of thought into the decor and facilities here. Even coordinating towels! Real attention to detail and spotlessly clean which made it very homely and welcoming. The kitchen is the best equipped I have ever experienced, with lots of workspace, utensils and fully integrated appliances including washing machine. Nice comfy sofas too! Great shower! Tony and his wife are lovely people, we felt completely welcome and at ease. They are there if you need them but leave you to enjoy your holiday. Very relaxed The property is on the owners grounds with shared parking and small private garden with use of their own shared garden should you want more open space. There is a small stream separating the two. Well kept grounds. Be mindful that the top floor of the property is rented out - not obvious from picture/description. There was someone staying whilst we were there but didn't cause any noise issues for us at all. The property is rural and you will need a car to go anywhere. It's narrow country lanes too so don't expect shops, pubs etc in walking distance. This was fine for us as we are out in the day and prefer cosy nights in. The owners have lovely dogs themselves and are really chilled with dogs. Genuinely dog 'friendly'. Just need to keep on lead in grounds as chickens and horses around. All in all a lovely stay."

"The service we received from the owners was wonderful, upon arriving we got a real warm welcome and then told if we needed anything we only had to ask. The barn was beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. A generously sized shower was lovely to use also. The location was very rural, very peaceful which is what we look for. The beautifully kept gardens with stream, pond and secret gardens were private and great to sit in on an evening. To get to the nearest shop and pub etc. you really needed to use the car as they were quiet a way off from the barn. The only let down was that it didn't mention in the details that you would have other guests living above you...which at times was very noisy as you can hear every footstep which they take."

"Spent a lovely week here with the family in april. Very welcoming an ideal location. Only disadvantage was the lack of restaurants and pubs that accept dogs. This however would not prevent us from staying here again."

"Had a fabulous stay at The Haybarn. The Haybarn is one of 3 properties available to rent. All are dog friendly. The facilities are excellent too. We enjoyed a couple of days where the weather was glorious and we were able to sit outside on the verandah overlooking the pond. Ducks, horses and chickens are residents on the farm. The owners dog was seen riding on the back of one of horses too! Downside would be that the nearest pub was a 2.2 mile walk and with our slow coach of a dog we were hungry and thirsty by the time we got there. But the wait was worth it. If you do stay at the Haybarn you should visit the Windmill Inn at Necton."
