We have stayed in many cottages in Norfolk and this was one of the best, absolutely gorgeous…..we took our two dogs and honestly, they were so well provided for, dog beds, bowls, towels, treats, there’s even a shower in the utility area for pets - the garden is fully enclosed so just perfect. When we arrived there was also milk, tea, coffee, fresh bread and biscuits, such thoughtful hosts. We would highly recommend Bird Barn, it’s in a great location to explore North Norfolk

Enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in this beautiful and spotlessly clean cottage. Perfectly located for everything we intended to do including great walks with our cocker spaniel who also really enjoyed the treats, comfy bed and dog shower. Thank you 🙏
