“Such a beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting.”

The cottage had everything we needed with extra perks, such as a lovely welcome pack, starter pack of sachets of tea, coffee, dishwasher tablet, washing up sponges, tea towels. I had brought my own but it was a nice touch. Hairdryer, logs and kindling for the log burner and even food for the ducks! We restored the wood and duck food for the next guests. The cottage is about 15 minutes drive from Wells and it was ideal for dog walking. We’d get in the car, park up and have the most beautiful ...

The cottage had everything we needed with extra perks, such as a lovely welcome pack, starter pack of sachets of tea, coffee, dishwasher tablet, washing up sponges, tea towels. I had brought my own but it was a nice touch. Hairdryer, logs and kindling for the log burner and even food for the ducks! We restored the wood and duck food for the next guests. The cottage is about 15 minutes drive from Wells and it was ideal for dog walking. We’d get in the car, park up and have the most beautiful walks on the beach. We did this every morning and then come ‘home’ for coffee and plan our day. Sandringham is only 20 minutes drive and is such a beautiful estate. Again, dog friendly walks. Even the restaurant will accept dogs. For us it was about unwinding and relaxing. We would go out each morning, maybe have a spot of lunch out and then come back mid to late afternoon, put some logs on the wood burner, play a few games and watch a film. Order a takeaway or rustle up something and unwind. Just beautiful. We would definitely return. Thank you so much the the use of this beautiful cottage

“We had a lovely stay at Far Barn.”

It was immaculately presented and clean. Lovely provision of toys and games for children and an excellent tv. We will be staying again.

“The welcoming packs were very much appreciated and the barn had everything that we required.”

The central heating was efficient and we found no need to light the wood burner.The garden was perfect for the dogs. It’s is a great location to visit many places within the area. However, it was very disappointing to find a pile of dirty clothes behind the toy box in the bedroom my grandson was sleeping in. Also in this bedroom the light shade is completely perished and hanging off the rim, it has been glued once already on another part of it. We were unable to use the dishwasher as it is covered in limescale and it requires a good clean and replenished with salt and rinse aid. As a result of this we had to wash all crockery and cutlery before use. As a general point the cleaning could be a higher standard. We cleaned before we left. Had this not occurred we would have rated higher as it’s a lovely barn.

“A lovely cosy barn conversion.”

Good location to be able to drive to all the local attractions, beaches and towns.

- Laura, October 2023
David August 2023

“Extremely comfortable property with a very high level of amenities, especially the little touches such as a comprehensive toy box for children.”

The property itself was furnished to a very high standard and the listing was accurate. We have stayed in several Sykes properties and this has to be the best yet. The highlight for our grand children had to be the pond outside the kitchen window with the huge array of wildfowl that needed feeding each day.

“Really lovely property in a quiet location.”

My children (5 and 2) loved watching the ducks and bunnies every morning- this was a definite highlight of the stay. Unfortunately there was no duck feed left in the tin to be able to feed the ducks- as suggested in the notes left. Really cosy and comfy place to stay- we really enjoyed. Lovely walk in shower, comfy beds, space around the table for all 6 of us and my 5 year old loved sleeping on the top bunk. Added bonus of games, toys and books for children to use. Would suggest taking own towels for anyone going soon- towels are quite small and some have marks/are a bit shabby. The owners could do with investing in some new towels if they want to continue to provide them- or ask guests to bring own. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would go back.

“What can I say about Far Barn.”

....upon entering the driveway we were greeted by a well maintained group of barn conversions and cottages which surround a beautiful pond full of comical ducks! Far Barn welcomed us with a delightfully enclosed garden (perfect for our dog). Once we stepped inside we we greeted with a lovely welcome pack. The Barn itself is converted to a high standard and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds are comfortable, although we would have preferred a king size bed. Unfortunately, the playstation does not work which was disappointing for our boys. The shower is good and there was enough hot water for all 4 of to shower. We did not use the bath, so cannot comment on that. The kitchen is well equipped, with a large fridge freezer and washing machine. The farm shop across the main road is excellent, we can also recommended the Aviator pub which is a 10 minute walk away. There is not much else within walking distance but if you're happy to drive there are lots of beaches and villages to explore that are only a short drive away. All in all we would recommended this property.

“Nice barn in a quiet location not far from the north Norfolk coast.”

Nice living / dining / kitchen area, bedrooms are nice (although the beds are a bit 'lumpy'). Big bathroom. It has everything you need.

“Very nice stay, like home from home.”

Host was very thoughtful with the welcome packs and stocked wood for the fire. Bedrooms where lovely and the bed we slept in downstairs was very comfy. Kids bedroom was very nice my granddaughters loved the bunk beds and well stocked with play ideas for them. PlayStation was a bonus for my adult daughter and son in law they where in there element playing CoD

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

We had our granddaughter with us who is 1 1/2 years old & she loved seeing the ducks every morning when we opened the blinds.

“A beautiful little cottage.”

Immaculately clean and with everything you could possibly need. The log burner was wonderful. We stayed here to attend the Thursford Christmas Spectacular, which was equally amazing and I would also highly recommend. We arrived to a nice surprise of some biscuits, crisps and a bottle of wine, which was a lovely touch. Morrisons is just around the corner, which is very handy. Three small things to note: - the decking does get very slippery (I’m pretty sure I did read this warning somewhere). But even whilst being careful, my little boy slipped over. No harm done, but just be careful. - It was quite difficult navigating the range cooker as most of the labelling on the dials has worn off, so it was difficult to establish what temperature and settings the oven was on. - Just be mindful the Master bedroom is on a mezzanine level above the kitchen. Whilst there are privacy screens, whoever is sleeping in the Master will likely need to be the last to go to sleep and the first to wake up. All in all, a great little place and we will definitely return!

MARK June 2022

“Beautiful spot.”

Wonderful stylish and quirky barn restoration. Very dog friendly. Well equipped house, particularly the kitchen. The only gripe was broken shower thermostat, so no ability to alter water temperature from hot. Look forward to returning to Far Barn.

“This was an amazing place,so relaxing and very well situated.”

We had an issue with the water but everyone was so helpful and it was out of everyone’s hands but Anglian water soon sorted it. The owner was very good at keeping us informed. Would definitely stay here again it had everything we wanted and more.

Alison April 2022

“We enjoyed staying in Far Barn and we had a good break.”

It was very cozy and well equipped and we felt comfortable straight away. So happy I could bring my dog, she was as good as gold and had a fabulous time on her first ever holiday, she particularly liked watching the ducks and ducklings from the window. The garden was an excellent space. I have holidayed in the UK for the last 25 years staying in holiday cottages so I have a lot to compare it with! Apart from a few very tiny niggles, I am happy to say it was excellent and would definitely recommend, Norfolk is beautiful. Thank you :)

Georgie April 2022

“Thank you so much for housing my family especially for the 2 extra nights.”

I ended up having the baby 4 weeks early on the Wednesday very early morning! But when we arrived at the property I said to my husband this is the most relaxed I’ve been in weeks… obviously I got a bit too relaxed

“Having read a previously bad report , we embarked on our holiday with apprehension equipped with rubber gloves and cleaner , expecting little of Far Barn.”

How delighted we were on our arrival to find a property surpassed our expectations. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained, it ticked all our boxes. Tea, coffer etc to put you on while you unpack, plenty of draw space. An abundance of games for children. Wifi can be a bit hit and miss but not a big problem. What you see on the booking site is what you get and more. Far barn is well placed for sightseeing in every direction. Well placed for supermarkets and petrol . We didn’t realise Sandringham issues a limited amount of tickets and has to be booked well in advance. Having said that we had a lovely lunch at Sandringham restaurant on the estate, not overpriced like the gift shop. Check out the Aviator for excellent food and delightful decor, on the doorstep. We call at Sculthorp Mill but found it too expensive to eat on a normal Monday. Pensthorp Natural park and tea room is a delight like a secret garden. Fakenham garden Center as a nice tearoom and good food. I would eagerly recommend Far Barn, it helped to make a memorable experience and a great holiday.

- Cynthia, March 2022

Philippa February 2022

“The cottage was disappointing and the owners attitude to cleanliness poor.”

I had to clean the fridge before putting in any shopping. The making of the beds was slipshod and simple things like doing up the buttons on the duvert cover not done. The open bath/toilet arrangement on the mezzanine bedroom had no effective ventilation so smells and steam stayed in the eaves and wafted down to the ground floor. The main bed on the ground floor was very uncomfortable and bits of the bedstead where missing. The kitchen area was not particularly clean and we refrained from using the oven. The owner did not respect our privacy and contractors were booked to be on site for 2 days without our knowledge - seeing someone in the garden at 8.30am is very surprising to say the least. They left when challenged. We wont be going back.

- Philippa, February 2022

In regards to the feedback left following your stay at Far Barn we feel a response is necessary. We made you aware of the storm damage to the fence before your stay, and offered to provide a full refund if you decided you did not want to continue with the holiday. At this point we communicated that this would be fixed during your stay. We were not made aware of any cleanliness issues whilst you were at Far Barn, if we had have been told there were issues we would have acted on these immediately. As you can see from our recent feedback cleanliness has not been an issue and we have received top scores for cleanliness from the last few reviews. There have also been no other complaints regarding the comfort of the beds, and feel this is a personal issue, we will of course monitor future feedback relating to this. Property Owner

“Great place - this was our second trip and we have booked another stay for later in the year”

- Tim, December 2021
Brian December 2021

“Two adults and two teenagers spent 3 nights here at the end of December 2021.”

To sum it up we had the BEST time. The property was absolutely stunning. Everything was spot on from the decor, cleanliness, location, facilities and the welcome pack on arrival along with a Christmas tree was such a lovely gesture. The location was fantastic. We saw the Thursford light show, went to Wells and the beach there, Norwich Cathedral was stunning and we had a few movie and game nights. Feeding the ducks made us smile. They were so funny. We may have fed them once out of the window before we read the whole sign.

- Brian, December 2021

Barry October 2021

“We stayed at this lovely barn over the October half term.”

Great location, felt very central to all that we wanted to visit. The barn itself is lovely, very cosy with the fire going but if that’s too much effort the radiators are very efficient. The furniture and fittings all good quality. The only thing that let this property down was the cleanliness. We had to clean from top to bottom, , kitchen bathroom and bedrooms. I fully understand that the ceilings are extremely high and difficult to reach so I will let those cobwebs pass, but hanging from the pictures on the walls, easily reached. The fridge and cutlery drawers we full of marks and bits of food. Stained bedsheets, not acceptable. We left the barn cleaner than we arrived. That said, I would stay again, for the location. Sculthorpe is a lovely village the the pub was served us some lovely food.

Lesley September 2021

“Very enjoyable stay at Far Barn, lovely barn and garden.”

We found the upstairs bedroom very dark and chose to use the downstairs double. The disappointment was the bed. We are used to a queen bed with a firm mattress and we use a summer light weight duvet. The mattress was soft, the pillows and duvet were lumpy and very heavy so we id not sleep very well at all. This did not spoil our holiday but made us think about taking our own beddding in future!

Its tranquil and secluded surroundings/ location make it ideal for a peaceful and restful break. We thought the property was lovely and have booked to stay there again.

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

The cottage was amazing with all appliances top end spec. Situated in a tranquil area it was lovely feeding the ducks daily and then going on outings. Norwich was in particular a surprise. We loved it. Would highly recommend staying in this cottage.

Tracy June 2021

“This is a beautiful barn conversion, very tastefully done to a high standard.”

It’s a very spacious, well thought out conversion with some nice little touches to make it feel like home. Certain pieces of furniture are looking a bit ‘tired’, probably only to be expected when you have so many different guests staying. For example the dining chair coverings have all been chewed by a dog I presume?? However, the cleanliness is certainly not up to standard. It isn’t even the standard you would expect pre COVID, let alone now when it is meant to be super clean!! The oven was filthy, the freezer was dirty, there was dust & muck everywhere, under all the units, behind the TV, even old dog treats covered in hair under the unit in the bunk bedroom. The beams in the room haven’t been cleaned for months, not just weeks, the dust up there glistens like silver it’s so thick. This property should have been deep cleaned before anyone was even allowed to stay. I left a note for the cleaner & have taken photos for proof. Beautiful place to stay, great fun feeding the ducks every day & watching the rabbits playing outside. The garden is completely enclosed so is safe for children or dogs.

“Loved Far Barn.”

A light and spacious property with lovely views of the duck pond. We loved feeding the ducks & ducklings every day. It is very well placed for all the North Norfolk beaches too.

- Sharon, May 2021
Anne May 2021

“The barn is beautiful, with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.”

The garden is a quiet sunny and private haven, very safe for young children and dogs. There are lots of toys and activities for children, both in the house and for the beach. The position is excellent, away from town but very close for facilities and drives to the gorgeous coastal and country villages.

Tamsin April 2021

“Lovely holiday rental.”

Comfortable and charming. Especially for the children. We have three aged 10, 8 and 8 and they just loved this place. The beautiful bunk bed room with toys and books, but most of all feeding the ducks from the window. There were hoards or fresh little ducklings when we were there. Throngs of tiny birds coming to the window and in the evening lots of baby bunnies. They thought it was magical. We would love to come again for a norfolk weekend. The place needs a few new pans for the kitchen as the ones there are not flat on the bottom and aren’t very usable on the hob. Apart from that 10/10 stay. Thank you

- Tamsin, April 2021
Gill April 2021

“The converted barn was clean and mainly well appointed.”

To make it even better the following things could be added: somewhere to hang clothes in the upstairs sleeping section; a washing line of some sort in the garden; access to a vacuum cleaner; somewhere to store non refrigerated food.

Hayleigh November 2019

“Cottage is pretty but impractical, cupboards already full so only place to put food was under the sink, master bedroom, no where to hang clothing, bath too big to bother filling, so having to use shower downstairs to go back up, to then have no where to dry towels, poor lighting and mirrors so again back downstairs to complete hair and makeup, no power socket upstairs.”

Main light lightbulb no kitchen, the same in kitchen, was able to write hello in dust upstairs and full of cobwebs. Could be a good cottage with tweaks and attention to detail but currently overpriced and not value for money

- Hayleigh, November 2019

Geoffrey September 2019

“The cottage was brilliant - precisely as described on the website.”

It is well-situated for a range of coastal towns and resorts, and Norwich is readily accessible. The owners clearly taken great care to ensure that guests have plenty of information about the local area, and to make available a wide range of facilities for outdoor and indoor pursuits. The welcome pack on arrival - including providing a pint of fresh milk in the fridge as well as doggie treats - was a really thoughtful touch. Our two Dalmatians, Max and Paddy, had a great time as well - especially enjoying the huge field at the rear of the property and the enclosed garden area.

- Geoffrey, September 2019
Carol September 2019

“Far barn was an amazing place to stay, it was stunning!”

Everything was just perfect. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, the décor was superb and well thought out with lots of interesting architecture and old beams to look at and admire. The kitchen was well equipped as were all the splendid rooms. The pond just outside was very pretty with lots of ducks swimming in it, there was even a container of bird food to feed them from the window which was fun. We loved our time staying at Far Barn and we would definitely recommend it. Thank you so much! Kind regards, The Hester's

Joanna September 2019

“Unfortunately we were issued the wrong key code so could not get in,however a phone call and a helpful neighbour rectified this.”

Once in we thought the property lovely and really enjoyed our short break Perhaps replace chipped crockery and some new pillows would help. Otherwise great.

Claire August 2019

“Everything was fantastic and the facilities were amazing.”

Nothing had been missed, even down to beach equipment being provided. We will definitely return. The only negative was when we arrived at the property, the code that we had been given to get the key didnt work - we tried for ages, and so we had to call the owner who told us that the code had been changed. It was fine, but I wouldnt have been happy if it was raining as we would have got soaked.

- Claire, August 2019
Andrew August 2019

“Lovely cottage which was very well equipped ad comfortable.”

Having the ducks to feed was a great thing for the kids. Location was in a great place but unfortunately nothing really within walking distance. Lovely pub a short drive away and Wells was very easy to get to. Would definitely go back

The historic market town of Fakenham is famous for its horse racing and offers a wide selection of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Situated on the River Wensum, half way between Norwich and Kings Lynn it is an excellent, central location for exploring Norfolk.

Fakenham is a very attractive market town with pretty brick and flint-faced buildings, narrow alleyways and side streets to explore. Often referred to as the Gateway to Norfolk this town really does offer a perfect base for exploring this beautiful county. You are only a twenty minute drive from the coastal towns of Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham and Burham Overy where you will find miles of pine forests, sandy beaches, salt marshes, tidal creeks and great opportunities for birdwatching. There are some lovely areas of unspoilt countryside and villages and the Holkham Estate has a number of attractions and a fabulous deer park.
