“Lovely, quiet place to stay.”

Brilliant shower, comfy bed. Really nice walking areas right from the door. There was so little traffic was a real change of pace. Small, fully enclosed patio handy for my dog. He won't walk on slippery floors but luckily I was mostly prepared so was able to put runners down. Cooker etc. easy to use so a nice, relaxing stay. Can't get takeaways delivered due to location so be prepared. Friendly, helpful owners and was met with some goodies as a welcome. If I had a braver dog, I would stay ...

If I had a braver dog, I would stay again and explore Marriott's Way a bit further.

“This was our 3rd stay at Sparrow barn and we have already booked our stay for next year again It is very peaceful with lovely views The owners are very friendly not forgetting their 3 dogs and the many sheep on the farm which our children absolutely love seeing!”

The barn is very light and comfortable equipped with everything you could need while staying there We always feel relaxed and comfortable when staying at the barn

“Sparrow Barn was clean and comfy.”

A welcome pack was waiting even for our 2 night stay which was much appreciated. The owners were welcoming despite being busy with lambing season. The bonus being we got to see the new lambs each day. Thoroughly enjoyed our short break.

“Appreciate this property has two bedrooms but feel that the size of the living accommodation is too small to comfortably cater for more than 2 people, very cramped.”

Master bedroom very spacious but very small bathroom. Cleanliness needs more attention as cobwebs everywhere.

- Wendy, January 2023
Leanne January 2023

“What a stunning property!”

It is beautifully laid out with excellent facilities, cosy and very comfortable and the owners were very welcoming. It is perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk and a peaceful location to come back to in the evening. Enjoyed watching the birds and wildlife around and about and on the little lake behind the cottage and with little light pollution the stars were amazing at night. We cannot recommend this cottage enough it was perfect getaway.

“Sparrow Barn provided a warm and comfortable base as we explored North Norfolk in an early January break.”

Cottage was excellent, cant be faulted. Extremely quiet and peaceful location.

“Second time we have stayed at Sparrow Barn Would recommend it.”

“A lovely comfortable property with all necessary facilities in a beautiful quiet area.”

It’s in a good position for visiting North Norfolk, Norwich and the surrounding countryside and for walking and cycling. The owners are very helpful and friendly.

Mary October 2022

“The property was in a good area for touring North Norfolk.”

It was ideal to reach the places we love to visit. It was comfortable, and having a shower room for each bedroom was a bonus. We have an electric car and there was a charging point at the local Tesco that was always available. We loved the patio overlooking the lake/pond as er could sit there and enjoy a cup of tea and watch a variety of birds and other wildlife. Certainly a property to which we would hope to return

“We were very pleased to find the cottage spotless.”

The beds are very comfortable with good quality linen. The ensuit showers in both bedrooms are very efficient. Nice welcome basket of goodies too.

- Joy, September 2022
Melanie August 2022

“A fantastic holiday cottage in a wonderful location.”

Maybe a few more basics such as washing up liquid, soap and black pepper would have been useful, but otherwise can't fault it. Plenty of kitchen equipment, comfortable beds, en suite facilities for both bedrooms and a nice outdoor sitting area overlooking the pond. We loved it for the wildlife and the friendliness of the owners (and their dogs!). We added some more leaflets to the welcome pack and made some recommendations in the visitor book. We will definitely be coming back for a future holiday - lots to do and see and we didn't get round to it all!

- Melanie, August 2022
Sarah August 2022

“A beautiful, idyllic retreat, wildlife in abundance right at your back door.”

The cottage was comfortable, exceptionally quiet and a great place to relax. My only criticism is not being able to sit and watch the wildlife as the fence was too high.

- Sarah, August 2022
Janet June 2022

“We had a great time the Barn is lovely with everything we needed.”

It's in a beautiful location and so peaceful. With the Marrett way on the doorstep it was great for our dog. Tim and Helen were so helpful which is so nice. Heydon village is also a great place to visit. We will be back next year.

- Janet, June 2022
Andrew May 2022

“Sparrow Barn is a lovely character property in a beautiful setting with everything you need for a holiday.”

Welcome package was very much appreciated as we had brought some basics but didn't stop for milk before arrival. The owners are lovely and very helpful, the farm dogs are sweet and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

- Andrew, May 2022
Natasha May 2022

“Fabulous stay at Sparrow Barn, quiet peaceful location within the Norfolk countryside.”

Comfy and spacious and well equipped this beautiful barn has everything you need. We loved watching the wildlife and saying hello to Chip and Flyn the farmers dogs and was privileged to feed the last two remaining lambs. We defo come again thank you for allowing us to stay in your amazing barn.

“Lovely holiday cottage but very narrow roads and hard find .”

Michael April 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay, a perfect welcome from the owners, and their dogs!”

The setting was tranquil and relaxing and met all our needs. The floor was slightly unclean on arrival, and a vacuum cleaner would have been preferable to broom, brush and dustpan. The beds and seating were comfortable but not exceptionally so. Overall we were very satisfied and the accommodation is very good value for money. We would be very happy to return!

“This is the third time we’ve stayed at Sparrow barn, But the first time we stayed in springtime it has been an absolute pleasure to listen to all the newborn lambs we even had a tour round the lambing pens .”

We’ve seen the Kingfisher and heard the woodpecker on many occasions. At night time the frogs are migrating back to the pond as well. The weather for March has been absolutely marvellous added to the fact that the cottage is really comfortable and nothing is too much trouble for Helen and Tim. The welcome pack was great and really appreciated. We’ve even had some meals out on the patio never thought we’d be doing that in March. There’s plenty of walking round the quiet lanes and on the Marriot way. Looking forward to coming back again in August

Rachael March 2022

“Sparrow Barn was comfortable cosy and clean.”

Situated in a beautiful and quiet rural location. The owners were veryvfriendly and on hand to deal with any issues if they should arise. They took the time to shownus the newly born lambs and we met their lovely dogs. Cant recommend the barn enough for a countryside break.

- Rachael, March 2022
Julia March 2022

“Nice location, very peaceful working farm, sadly the barn lacked some necessities.”

The free biscuits, crisps and small amount of tea, coffee and sugar were appreciated however, a pint of milk would have been useful, this has been pretty standard with all other places we have stayed in the past. The necessities lacking include; four comfy seats in the lounge area (a corner sofa would be a good idea instead of the uncomfortable wicker chair), decent pillows as the ones we had were flat and I would have thrown them away, smaller basins in the ensuites would be better instead of the huge ones in there, sound proofing in the boiler cupboard would be fantastic as it is extremely noisy to be in the bedroom and outdoor furniture for the garden area as we could not enjoy this despite the beautiful weather. I had to go and buy two pillows to be comfortable when sleeping I have never had to do this before. The owners also failed to notify us that the power and internet were going off on one day during our stay, this could have interfered with a planned business meeting had the electricians I spoke to not been extremely helpful as the owners were nowhere in sight or close by. The power outage did interrupt the cooking of breakfast until I asked them to put it back on due to this! This is not good enough you need to communicate with your clients. Overall a nice place to stay but the necessities need sorting.

“We had a lovely stay at Sparrow Cottage, everything was really clean with good quality fixtures and fittings, bedding and towels were all fresh and soft.”

The wi-fi recently installed was really good, but there was no phone signal. There were plenty of plug sockets, each with there own usb slot, which was really useful and something you don't always find especially on a farm. The farm is situated up a small very quiet lane so there was hardly any noise, it was beautiful to look out of the window straight onto the pond, out the back. Helen and Tim were lovely very friendly and Tim loves his life on the farm with a real passion. Dogs Jip and Finn, were friendly and loved coming over for a fuss. Lovely fresh eggs straight from the chickens. The well known Marriott's Way was only a few hundred yards from the farm and was ideal for dog walking, although the weather, in particular the wind, was really high, making it biting and icy, or we would probably have walked a lot further than we did and would have been lovely if not so cold. It was a lovely relaxing time, although the weather wasn't great it was warm and cosy in the cottage with Netflix and Amazon on the TV in both the living room and bedroom, so it definitely wasn't a problem.

“2nd stay at Sparrow Barn for a short visit to Norfolk.”

Lovely quiet relaxing spot with lovely views over the pond. Always immaculate accomodation. Good kitchen facilities for cooking. Perfect spot to stay if you are looking to spend days out enjoying the County of Norfolk. Thankyou to the lovely owners for our stay. Our puppy Kipper certainly enjoyed it too.

“Lovely cottage situated on a farm.”

It was wonderfully quiet. The owners were friendly and on hand if needed. We used the cottage as a base for lots of outings and could access shopping and cooked meals in the local village of Reepham.

- Liz, September 2021
Janice September 2021

“Sparrows Barn is a lovely place, Bit small if there were 4 adults staying as only 3 main seats in living area but apart from that very comfortable.”

Be careful of one of the farm dogs which roam loose as it had a nip at our little dog (which was on the lead as requested) also had a go at my husband.

“A lovely property set in a tranquil farm location - brilliant for a small family and a dog!”

Couldn't fault the property at all and overall good value. Also an excellent base for travelling around north Norfolk with both coastline, western broads and Norwich not much more than half a hour away. We had a great time - thank you!

Llesley July 2020

“We arrived a little early but were met with smiles and friendliness.”

The accommodation was ready. We had a few instructions to follow with regard to Covid 19. This was clear and concise. The barn was clean and tidy. There was a lovely welcome pack so that we could have tea and biscuits before we ventured out to shop. Tim and Helen could not have been more helpful without being intrusive. Tim lent me his fishing rod so that I could fish in the pond. It was peaceful and very relaxing. We had fresh farm eggs that were gifted to us. They told us to ring them at any time if there were any problems. There weren't any. We saw a variety of wildlife around the barn and pond. Kingfishers, Heron, Linnets, Wagtails and finches and yes there are sparrows! A great base to tour from and visit local seaside places. The roads are small and narrow in places... but it is the country after all! We had the most wonderful time and would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone. Thank you Tim and Helen for making our stay such a delight.

- Llesley, July 2020
James July 2020

“Helen and Tim made our stay perfect.”

Everything was clean and safe for all. The setting on their farm is idyllic. Watching heron and woodpeckers feeding from the pond and surrounding gardens is so relaxing. Tim gave the children a fishing rod which kept them occupied for hours catching fish from the jetty. Would definitely return.

- James, July 2020

“The photo of Sparrow Barn on the website doesn't do the property any favours.”

It far exceeded our expectations. It was cosy and very comfortabke. We have a six month old puppy so we were pleased the courtyard garden was fully enclosed. The surroundings were idyllic and very peaceful. The owners Helen and Tim were the perfect hosts and even invited us to visit the barn where they had a number of new born lambs and calves. We look forward to revisiting this beautiful property again soon.

“Sparrow Barn was everything we wished for and more.”

Access to Marriots Way within 200m. Great rides to Reepham, Aylsham, Whitwell Station, Taverham Garden centre, Blickling Hall. Barn was beautiful, stunning beams, bi fold doors onto a private patio with views over the pond with many sightings of the resident Kingfisher. Welcome pack was lovely with, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits and Kettle crisps to get us started for the week. It was fantastic to be in a beautiful rural setting with no street lights enabling us to enjoy the stars at night. Would very highly recommend.
