The Little Hay Barn Reviews

We had a very enjoyable stay at The Little Hay Barn, it was the perfect home from home to explore the local area.

Great location and accommodation

A fabulous stay in the Little Hay Barn. The welcome basket was a lovely touch with a thoughtful personal message from the owners. Everything we needed was provided including some wonderful home made damson jam. It is a great base for exploring the area with a private garden to relax in after a long day out.

Jennifer

My stay in The Little Hay Barn far exceeded my expectations set in a tranquil and private setting, the accommodation was delightfully clean and comfortable with everything in the barn that you would need, from a very well stocked kitchen, to towels and bedding etc. , all has been extremely well thought out by the owners for the wellbeing of their guests. I do not hesitate in recommending The Little Hay Barn in Bacton.

Lovely property. Sylish very clean and well equipped. Lovely garden and private patio.First class choice.

Gillian

Lovely cottage, very clean. Very sunny patio but no parasol which would have been nice. Cottage very well equipped. Lovely shower but the door leaked water which was causing slight damage to the wood. Lots of beautiful character inside the cottage and lovely attention to detail. The garden provided privacy and lots of outside space. Possibly more attention needed though.

Caroline

Comfortable and quiet nice and secluded,

Lorraine

Beautiful little house impeccably kept mixing original features with new technology seamlessly. Everything you need for a break is there. Jess and Stu the owners were fabulous with communication from the outset and so very helpful It was our wedding anniversary and they thoughtfully left a basket of goodies which was such a lovely gesture. We had a perfect relaxing stay with batteries recharged. Highly recommend

Howard

We absolutely loved 'The Little Hay Barn' and would have loved to come back but my wife, who is disabled, found the stairs just too difficult to manage because they are very steep. When we arrived, waiting for us on the table was the softest white bread imaginable and the most scrummy gooseberry jam. Neither lasted very long! We also loved the gardens, especially the wildflower garden. This was especially joyous when the deer came for a munch in the evenings.

Anthony

The accommodation was very comfortable and one of the best equipped we have stayed in over the years. The barn conversion is excellent. The property is easily located for visiting local beaches and villages .Overall we cannot speak highly enough.

Tastefully decorated and quality fittings. Cosy and warm in winter.

Trevor

Little Hay Barn offered excellent accommodation. We thoroughly enjoyed a comfortable stay and I wouldn't hesitate to revisit at some time in the future.

Trevor

The Little Hay Barn is a very cosy, welldecorated, light holiday haven. The courtyard is a very private area in which we ate breakfast and afternoon meals supported by the excellent weather. It was a quiet haven for reading. The bedroom was very clean and light with the lovely touches of electric skylights and blinds, which allowed good ventilation on warm nights. The front room was a lovely size and relaxing while watching television after days out. Would recommend it to friends and family.

Robert

Lovely clean property and peaceful surroundings. Welcome pack much appreciated.Everthing we needed and would recommend to family and friends.

A delightful stay in this dear little cottage, and a warm welcome from the owners. There were many unexpected extras, including an Alexa, which we enjoyed playing with! The outside space is peaceful, attractive & very private. The perfect base for exploring Norfolk. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Stu & Jess.

Cheryl

Lovely comfortable cottage finished to a high standard. Nice welcome pack when we arrived. Bed very comfortable. The weather was kind to us and we enjoyed using the patio area. Beach, fish and chip shop and convenience store within walking distance. Wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

Superb house and we had a lovely holiday. Plenty to do round about. One minor suggestion the new microwave is a useful addition, but it would be good to have some microwave proof dishes to cook food in.

The cottage was wonderful, very cosy and with well chosen furnishings. Everything was to a high standard. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. The only thing that could make it better would be a microwave! Location is beautiful and we enjoyed watching deer in the garden.

Pauline

We have had a wonderful stay! We really appreciated all the lovely furnishings and facilities everything had obviously been chosen and placed with great care and taste. The bed was sumptuous, the furniture was comfortable, the crockery a delight to use, and the ornaments, pictures, plants, books and shades enhanced this beautiful cottage. We had easy access to miles and miles of quiet lanes for cycling and appreciated the lockable shed at the cottage. Local amenities included a wellstocked and nearby shop, a great Fish and Chip shop and a welcoming Chinese Restaurant.Thank you so much for a lovely holiday!

This is a really lovely place to stay with high quality fixtures and fabrics, ... This is a really lovely place to stay with high quality fixtures and fabrics, Comfy bed and comfy pillows Clean, and bright and would be ideal to stay in the summer as well as theres a large garden and private courtyard it was a bit cold to sit outside this time but there was cushions and blankets if we wanted to Close to the beach, with a 10 minute walk away The welcome pack was good with fruit, milk and bread and homemade Jam The owners are so nice and helpful and nothing was too much trouble We would come back again Thank you

Lovely place to stay, very well equipped, immaculate and a real home from home. Would love to revisit in the summer to make use of the outdoor space too. Only downside was lack of local amenities the only pub within walking distance was in need of some TLC and the fish and chip shop was closed until Feb! However, the beach and coastline path was exceptional and we never tired of using it. Very special.

Claire

Top mark for this cottage. Well furnished and thought through in every details. Excellent job from the owners. Quality everywhere from beds to pillow, kitchen and welcome package. Conveniently situated for Beach walks. We would happily come back.
