Is Watermere Barn Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The large garden with lawn provides safe space for children to play and run around outdoors. The single-level layout means no stairs to worry about. Pensthorpe Natural Park (11 miles) offers wildlife encounters and adventure playgrounds. The Poppy Line steam train from Holt to Sheringham provides an exciting day out. Sheringham beach is 12 miles away for traditional seaside fun.

Nearby Holt provides independent shops and cafes for exploring.

Pet Friendly

Watermere Barn does not accept pets. Dogs and other animals are not permitted at this property. The owners maintain a no-pets policy throughout the year.

Watermere Barn Reviews

Jenny

Peaceful location, well equipped & warm with good beds. However the cottage lacks atmosphere which could easily be improved by adding colourful cushions, more wall pictures & some rugs. Some cleanliness issues but overall acceptably clean. Wonderful location for nature lovers & for touring North Norfolk

Kieran Walter

The cottage was.great ,very tranquil.Decor a bit worn but very enjoyable

Ben

Lovely location deep in trees and nature with some lovely local walks. Great amenities close by. Easy to access, get to, and stay in. Property is generally nice and well laid out, with the usual comforts. Decor was quite tired and could do with some TLC, but overall not bad value for money all things considered.

Steve

The property is in a remote setting. Although the property would benefit from a refresh it is comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We found the general standard of cleanliness to be poor and it would benefit from a deep clean

Hayley

Please be aware this property is located down a single track lane with few passing points and some large potholes. You cannot easily walk to a local shop/pub, so be prepared to have to drive to get anywhere. Mobile phone signal is very weak, we had no signal at all, which made keeping in touch difficult when part of our party went out separately. However, the property was comfortable and well equipped, especially the kitchen. The beds were very comfy! As it is very secluded, it is extremely peaceful, and you rarely hear any traffic. Great if you want to escape from everything

Susan

Lovely location but need to warn people of difficult single-track tracks for access. Cottage a little "tired" and not spotlessly clean in places but otherwise very lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

Andrew

Very comfy clean cottage in a quiet location. Well equipped.
