Norfolk is well-known for holiday cottages and Caravan Parks, but why not consider Barn Stays as an alternative to a cottage Norfolk Broads? Norfolk Holiday Lets provide two Holidays one is the traditional Norfolk cottages by the sea in Muldesely and then we have a fantastic Barn Stay in Thurton Norfolk on the outskirts of the Norfolk Broads.

 

Stay in a Barn

Have you ever stayed in a Barn? In Norfolk, we have an abundance of agricultural buildings that are situated in some fantastic rural locations, locations that offer easy access to the countryside. Barn stays are an increasingly popular Holiday for Holidaymakers heading to Norfolk. Some do carry a premium, but our Cart Shed is actually very well priced for the market and as such is sort after for its location. The Barn is highly finished as it was originally for the family to stay in when visiting, so we have gone the extra mile with finishes, including the kitchen and Bathrooms. When you choose the Barn stay it is a quiet and beautifully remote location, which is not far from the main amenities of the City and Coast. Thurton itself is described in the Doomsday Book and comes from the anglo-Saxon 'tun' meaning an enclosed space according to Wikipedia. There is a pub the George and Dragon. The village hosts a classic car show, which includes Lotus, Aston Martins and other vintage club cars each year and has a Foundry that was opened in 1963.

 

Norfolk Barn Stays 

Barn stays are a nice change from a traditional holiday cottage, they provide a unique property with some interesting architectural features. Long sloping roofs, great views thanks to great locations. Barn stays are a lovely way to spend time, often more cosy than the cottage and with some of the same features, below are some of the reasons we believe a barn stay is a fantastic idea for your next Holiday.

Why choose a Norfolk Barn Stay? 

  • Great locations
  • Interesting buildings
  • Quiet, countryside experience

Why is Thurton ideally situated?  

Thurton is based in the mid-way point between Great Yarmouth and Norwich. This means that you can be in the Norfolk Broads in 20 minutes or out to the Coast in around 30mins.

If you would like to know more or ask us about either of our properties and their suitability for your trip please give Lu a call on 07540 44 05 06.  Either location would work as a base for a holiday, but if you are thinking coastal then Mundesley is best, if you are thinking Norfolk Broads and Norwich, then the Barn Stay is best. Want to do both, that's possible too! The Barn stay (Cart Shed) is perfect for those looking to explore the city, the broads and perhaps the larger coastal towns like Great Yarmouth, Cromer or Winterton for example.
