Excellent place to stay.

Really lovely room. Lots of extras you don't usually get like a fridge, water, washing up liquid and cloths so you can wash up your glasses and cups, umbrella, torch and magnifying make up mirror. On arrival there was really tasty home made flapjacks in the room. Our room had a little decking area with chairs. We sat out one evening and it was so peaceful. The breakfast was good, with plenty of choice. The booking was simple and the owners communicated really well before and during our stay. Lots to do in and around the area. Would definitely recommend the barns.

The Barns - Thorpe Market - excellent B &B

We have recently stayed at Tony and Amanda’s B & B for three nights. Tony and Amanda are wonderful hosts, friendly and professional. The breakfasts were amazing, and the flap jacks when we arrived were a welcoming treat! The room was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. We will happily recommend ‘The Barns’ to friends and family should they visit North Norfolk and we would happily return ourselves another time.

Three day getaway

A very comfortable three day trip to north Norfolk. The accommodation was excellent being well maintained and spotlessly clean. We were impressed by the hosts who were both friendly without being overly so. The outside sitting area was well constructed and welcoming on warm evenings. Breakfast was home cooked to order, very tasty and set us up for the days exploring. The flap jacks and bottled water provided on arrival were a lovely touch. Self Check- in was very easy and would recommend this bed an breakfast without hesitation.

Lovely B&B near Cromer

We stayed 3 nights to attend a wedding nearby and walk some of the Norfolk coastal path. The 4 self contained rooms look out onto a courtyard which has been nicely landscaped with shingle and decking. Our room was large and well equipped with a flat screen TV and en-suite shower/WC. The breakfasts, taken in the main barn, were excellent. A very enjoyable stay.

We would highly recommend the Barns - think it is fair to say it's the best B&B we've stayed in. Amanda & Tony had thought of everything with lots of little touches such as home-baked cupcakes on arrival. The room was very comfortable, spacious and tastefully decorated. We particularly appreciated having a fridge in our room. Breakfast was delicious with many homemade treats such as granola and marmalade. Our hosts were friendly and informative about the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Perfect for a short, last-minute getaway!

We booked a last-minute 2 night break and based our decision on where to stay on the reviewer ratings. We were not disappointed - from the really friendly welcome to the decor and quality of the room to the lovely breakfast each morning this is a place we would recommend in a heartbeat. All of the attractions in North Norfolk are within easy reach - Cromer, Sheringham, the 'Burnhams', the broads at Horning and Wroxham and the deserted beach at Happisburgh. All of this was made more enjoyable knowing what fantastic accommodation we would be returning to each night.

This ticked every box! Free parking near the room, quiet only punctuated by birdsong, attractive spacious comfortable room with large very well appointed bathroom. Scrupulously clean, comfortable bed, coupl;e of armchairs -everthing had been thought of, even a little fridge and extension lead for laptop to plug into. Breakfast was excellent- fresh fruit salad/ cereal/juice to start, freshly cooked excellent cooked breakfast of local ingredients, choice of brown or white toast. The owner knows the area in depth and can direct guests to the most interesting places to visit of walks to take. It was excellent value too.

A pleasant stay

Very nice room, only down side which was of no fault of the owners was a power cut in the morning, so no shower or cooked breakfast. The owners tried their best and rushed out for croissants and fresh bread then went to the next village for flasks of hot water so they could provide tea and coffee. They were very apologetic but would have been nice to be offered a small refund and or a discount on a future stay. Apart from that the room was clean and well presented and the complimentary cakes and biscuits in the room were a nice touch. Will most likely stay again

Breakfast was very nice and I was made to feel very welcome throughout my stay.

Somewhere a bit different.

A lovely small complex of barn conversions and outdoor seating area. Only stayed one night but very impressed. Excellent breakfast as well. The only down side was that it was a bit too far to walk to the nearest eaterie at night, so we had to drive therefore could not drink as much as we would have liked to, being on holiday. If we had thought of it, we could have bought a bottle of wine earlier, to have outside when we returned from the pub. That would have been bliss !
