From the owner

Pheasant Barn is a beautiful Norfolk barn conversion which is full of character, centrally heated and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. This super property boasts a high standard bathroom, well equipped kitchen, sumptuous bedroom, vaulted ceilings and high standard soft furnishings. Our photos and superb guest reviews speak for themselves! If you are looking for a tranquil base to explore Norfolk and Suffolk from then look no further.

Pheasant Barn has origins dating back to the 17th/18th centuries. This renovated 1 bedroom barn conversion affords traditional accommodation; exposed beams and Norfolk wood floors sit alongside modern appliances - Pheasant Barn is all on ground floor level making it potentially suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility (ask for more details). The barn is ideally suited to a couple. On entering the barn you will be greeted by the high vaulted and beamed ceiling of the kitchen/dining area. This leads through to the living area with french doors on to a private patio. A door off the dining area takes you to a well appointed double bedroom with bathroom off. The new spacious bathroom has a large shower bath with power shower over. To the outside is a patio, lawned garden, BBQ and garden furniture from which to enjoy the rural views after a day exploring. Wifi is provided free of charge - we have good data speed suitable for our Smart TV's, etc to watch your own Netflix, etc.

Alborough House Holiday Barns sit in the rural hamlet of Forncett St Mary just 9 miles south of Norwich and close to the Suffolk/Norfolk borders. Nearby attractions include Banham Zoo, Steam museums at Bressingham and Forncett and Wymondham Abbey. The village of Long Stratton is 3 miles away with shops and facilities and the market Town of Diss is nearby. The medieval city of Norwich is some 9 miles north. Dunston Hall some 5 miles away has a wonderful Spa and Golf course (open to non-residents) . The famous Norfolk Broads are within easy reach and perfect for a day exploring on one of the many boats for hire. The Suffolk Heritage coast is under an hour away and includes the famous towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh, popular for their coloured beach houses, fashionable shops and beaches, including some of the best fish and chips around. Also within reach is the North Norfolk coast, including seaside towns such as Cromer and the pretty town of Wells next the sea, famous for crabbing along the quay, Blakeney and of course the beach and stately home at Holkham. Slightly further away is the Queens Christmas residence of Sandringham, but still easily accessible for a day trip.

Our converted barns are situated in a quiet and rural setting perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Although rural, we are very well situated to be within striking distance of the many tourist attractions both Norfolk and Suffolk have to offer. Local villages offer some excellent pubs for those wanting to sample good food and real ales.

Both our barns (see also Partridge Barn which is 2 bed + mezzanine sofa bed area) are equipped to high standards and offer the appealing combination of character features together with modern day central heating, kitchens and bathrooms. Both barns are equipped with hobs, fan ovens, microwaves, washing machines, irons/iron boards, TV and more. We are flexible with our accommodation and can offer sofa beds for young children in addition to the standard beds/bedrooms in our barns (please advise requirements prior to booking). We welcome well behaved dogs (see our terms and conditions for details) and each barn has its own self contained small garden. There is ample car parking available for our guests.

Owner's reply:
Glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet our barns provide yet being within easy striking distance if the many attractions of both Norfolk and Suffolk. Sorry to hear the mattress wasn't to your liking, it is a high quality, hotel grade, medium firmness mattress which hopefully suits the majority if our guests. We ask guests to try and a toilet dogs on the lane just a few yards from our barns but as you point out we don't insist on this and dogs are welcome to use the private gardens.
