As our stay was probably one of the coldest weeks of the winter, the wood burner was very appreciative in the evenings. It was very handy that the owners lived next door, and twice refilled the log basket free of charge. Nothing was too much trouble, and it was nice that they called to see us on the morning of departure. Would definitely recommend this property, it's very handy for all the North Norfolk attractions.

The accommodation is second to none and in a perfect location to explore and take advantage of the surrounding countryside and nearby coastal areas and beaches. Not an area we have visited before but it was equal travelling distance for two old school pals now living miles apart in Leeds and Hurstpierpoint to meet for a week away. How lovely that we stumbled upon this gem! My dog Otis has a great time too. Thank you, Alistair and Catherine! Jennie, Louise and Otis x

Very comfortable, very clean. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of games for wet days. Wi-Fi excellent. Enjoyed our days out to various towns and villages. Holt we found was so pretty and full of independent shops as well as a couple of well known ones. Walking from the property you do need wellies but really worth packing them. Where ever we went every one was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying at Honey Buzzard Barn.
