Whitehands Farm Barn Reviews

Charlotte

This is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in. A lovely welcome pack greeted us with treats for our dog. We couldnt leave the cottage for the first 3 days as the weather was so hot we couldnt take our dog out but we had everything we needed, a lovely garden and patio area to sit in the shade and a very nice hot tub to enjoy. The cottage is in a lovely quiet hamlet and it was incredibly tranquil and relaxing. When the temperature finally dropped the cottage is in a great position to visit Thetford Forrest and Sutton Hoo. The cottage is very well equipped and Colin the owner was very friendly, coming to check us when we arrived and sorting an issue with the internet very quickly. We had a wonderful week and didnt want to leave.

Rebecca

Colin and Mary are fantastic hosts. Very attentive and responsive. The barn is beautiful and so well equipped. Hot tub was amazing too. Lovely garden for our dog. Would love to stay again!

Deborah

Lovely property

Excellent accommodation, very well equipped. No item overlooked by owners. Peaceful surroundings,. Large fully enclosed garden ideal for families and pet. Really enjoyed the hot tub. Ideal for exploring surrounding area. Wonderful holiday, would highly recommend.

Excellent property in a beautiful location, which is both peaceful and relaxing. Maintained to a very high standard with everything on hand that you could need while away. Comfy beds and a large secure garden for the dog. Small issue with the fire alarms on arrival, but this was fixed within the hour over a bank holiday weekend despite the owner being away in Spain. Had a lovely time away and would 100 recommend Whitehands Farm Barn

Stephen

Perfect for three couples clean and tidy, with everything you need for a peaceful break. Only one issue let it down the firesmoke alarm started at 830pm and would not reset or stop. There were no instructions on what to do if this happened. No cooking was being done, so it may have been triggered by the heat. As it was our last night, we made the decision to drive home, as it would have been impossible to sleep. Otherwise, it would have been five stars.

Problems with wash basin waste radiator in bathroom not working properly no internet at all otherwise ok

Excellent location and scenery

Rebecca

Colin and Mary were fantastic hosts, very responsive and helpful with any questions we had from the moment we booked. The barn is stunning and beautifully decorated. Accommodation was spotless and so well equipped. Hot tub was amazing and lovely and warm. Garden was enclosed and spacious. Lovely quiet location. Highly recommended. We would love to come and stay again. Thank you Colin and Mary!

Michael

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location. Well placed as a base to visit many local attractions.

Fantastic place to stay, beautiful surroundings and a very high standard inside

Benjamin

We 100 recommend this holiday cottage to anyone and everyone! We started with our four young children and there was plenty of space for us all. It would also work well for two or three couples to stay together as there is a lovely bathroom and dressing room area with each bedroom. The hot tub was a total hit with the kids as well as the big green space to run about the garden with a football. The countryside surrounding is gorgeous and so pleasant to walk through. We also enjoyed a woodland walk a short drive away Tyrell wood. We would definitely come back!

Fabulous stay, cottage was supremely clean and perfectly well equipped. Lovely quiet location in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend

Belinda

Fantastic property near Old Buckingham Norfolk. Everything and more that you need for a wonderful stay. Welcome hamper is an added bonus. Fully enclosed garden for our dog,and an amazing hot tub to relax. Can't wait to return in November. Lovely welcome from owners Colin and Mary

Sandra

Beautiful cottage, lovely surroundings in the quiet hamlet, everything we needed and more. Hot tub was a pleasure during the cold rainy weather! Welcome pack was a pleasant surprise. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Lovely place to stay with friends to celebrate the new year. Thank you so much for providing a great experience, we will definitely be back

Catherine

This was our second stay at the property, we feel it has all you would wish for on a holiday, so peaceful and relaxing. The whole place is clean and so well equipped. We visited Bury St Edmunds which is about 35 minutes away, and had Sunday lunch at the Bird in Hand Wrenningham, the holiday let is a great base for trips around Norfolk

Amanda

This cottage is absolutely lovely, has everything you could need household itemscutlery wise, possibly could do with a clothes horse for those doing washing during longer stays. Kitchen has all amenities dishwasher and microwave and the lounge is spacious. Well decorated and ambient temperature at all times was just right. Big secure garden from our furry and the hot tub was lovely at the end of each day. I only marked comfort down one as for us being somewhat larger people, the double bed was not roomy enough so my partner slept in one of the other four single beds. I think if there was a king sizesuper king it would have been perfect for us & if one of the two sets of singles was a double we would definitely book again for a visit with the family. Great comms from the owners, lovely welcome basket, milk, orange and wine was very welcomed. Overall great stay.

Denise

PERFECT What a wonderful time we had, the barn is absolutely amazing, plenty of room and well equiped with everything we needed, the welcome basket was a really nice touch along with the wine, orange juice and milk in the fridge. We arrived an hour early and rang the owners to see if we could get in early and as the barn was ready it wasn't a problem at all. The hotub was a bonus, very peaceful surroundings and very private. We would definitely recommend this place to other people and would visit again. Thankyou so much to the owners. Love Denise, Lesley, Julie and Sandra

Darren

A lovely cottage in a lovely location. Sadly the absence of black out blinds and an odd noise repeating every 20 odd seconds throughout the early hours meant no sleep, which in turn meant limited rest, so we came home early a little disappointed. The hot tub was more a luke warm tub and the presence of the cctv camera pointing directly at the back of the property felt invasive and extremely off putting. All together not a property we would revisit.

Penelope

A fabulous place to stay.

Beautiful barn with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Spotlessly clean and beautiful garden. The hot tub was great.

Yvonne

Very well equipped and clean

A spacious and comfortable property with attentive and helpful owners. We had an excellent weeks break.

We had a lovely time at Whitehands Farm Barn! Mary and Colin are lovely people and so helpful and friendly. Colin helped us find the spare gas for the BBQ one evening and was there to help us out. The barn is lovely. Great facilities with ensuites and dressing room area. Also there are decent hairdryers in each room which was perfect as I'd forgotten mine. The listing didn't show that detail although I checked before leaving. I really want to revisit and bring more family as it's a great space to be with friends and family. Highly recommend and we definitely want to return.

Once again we had an amazing stay at Whitehands Farm Barn, the welcome pack was a lovely touch. 3 bedrooms suited our family of 5, plenty of room to not fall over each other. Kitchen is so well equipped, loved the coffee machine each morning. Beautiful walks seeing the deer in the gardens surrounding the barn and the sunsets didnt disappoint, even after a rainy day. Gazebo over the hot tub with the fairy lights was a lovely edition, the hot tub was nice to relax in. Thoroughly recommend the barn, we will return again!

Kathleen

Lovely place cant wait till November
