Little Barn, Briston

The Little Barn was a cosy, well equipped cottage in a lovely rural setting with easy access to the north Norfolk coast and places of interest. Sally and Ken were great hosts and able to advise on local pubs and areas to visit. They provided a lovely welcome pack and a vase of flowers on arrival which were really appreciated. We really enjoyed the cosy atmosphere created by the log burner each evening. We had a fantastic time and hope to visit Norfolk and Little Barn again.

We had a great stay at the Little Barn earlier this month. Do not be put off by the ‘little’, the property is a bit of a tardis and as a family we were very comfortable and well accommodated. The beds were soft and soothing and the peaceful countryside setting aided rest and relaxation. As too did the stylish interior and well stocked kitchen. The property is brilliantly situated close to the north Norfolk coast. A short drive through beautiful countryside to beaches and scenic spots. The village also has lovely bakery, butcher and corner shop complete with fine produce and helpful staff.

Sally and Ken have created a wonderful holiday home at Little Barn which was perfect for us and our little dog. They ensure that guests are made to feel welcome from the minute of arrival, and we had absolutely everything that we needed to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The garden was beautifully planned and laid out and provided a delightfully, calm retreat. Ken and Sally's hosting was superb - striking exactly the right balance between being unobtrusive but also on hand and friendly. We'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Little Barn.

Beautiful cottage, kept immaculately, with everything needed for a stay. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Couldn't recommend more.

Ken & Sally were perfect hosts and their cottage was the perfect London get-away - neat, tidy, comfortable and very well appointed with a beautiful garden. The location was perfect too, in close proximity to the best of North Norfolk.

Such an idyllic cottage, and we were made to feel so welcome (even the sheep nearby said hello!). Everything was impeccably clean and functional, the house was warm and cosy and the beds and bedlinen were so comfortable! So lovely to come back to after days spent discovering the beautiful surroundings and long coastal walks that this part of Norfolk has to offer. Five stars all round! Thank you!

Over the years we have hired many cottages, this is one of the best if not 'The Best'. The cottage is full of charm & character with beautiful gardens either side, one belonging to the owners house but available to visit. The Little Barn is in a prime location both peaceful & relaxing. On our first full day we only had the sound of a light breeze in the tree tops and bird song. Ken & Sally have made a place of tranquility here & we will be back next year.

Our week spent in Little Barn was delightful. From the moment we arrived we felt at home in this beautiful and well equipped cosy property. Owners Sally and Ken could not have made us feel more welcome. Ideally situated for taking lovely walks down quiet rural lanes into and around the village of Briston - and only a short drive to the towns and villages along the coast. With its own beautifully designed garden, alfresco dining beckons when the sun is shining. All in all a great place to enjoy the many delights of this part of Norfolk.

We had a wonderful stay at Little Barn with our two children and two dogs. The cottage is cosy, extremely comfortable and beautifully finished. Our hosts were lovely, relaxed and very helpful. The location is perfect for exploring the local area with fabulous beaches and walks. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Little Barn.

Little Barn is a little gem! Tucked away in quiet countryside away from the hustle and bustle but within easy reach of the coast and the best of North Norfolk. Sally & Ken were most welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The property itself is a delight - tastefully furnished to a high standard - we were always happy to return to this cosy retreat after our days out. The garden is lovely and has plenty of options for sitting in sun/shade. We were also grateful that it was dog secure. We were sorry to leave and have already re-booked for next year. Highly recommend! :)

Little Barn's decor and arrangement is as thoughtful and gracious as its hosts, Ken and Sally. From extra woollen rugs for the (two! hurray!) sofas, to well placed handles, lamps and chairs, the cottage is well thought through, beautifully decorated and devoid of clutter. The little eaves bedroom is so simple and pretty, and the garden is a joy, even with the endless winter we've just had. Everything is beautiful. It all just works. Super location with a perfect start-the-day dog-walk straight from the door, and lots to do within driving distance. Little Barn is an absolute gem.

I'm keeping Little Barn a secret! Sally and Ken made us feel so welcome - warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and everything you'd need in the kitchen. Extra pillows and blankets were in the wardrobe along with cosy hot water bottles. The garden turned into a winter wonderland on frosty mornings and always full of birds. Thank you Sally and Ken, we'd love to come back sometime!

Our stay at Little Barn was wonderful! Just what we needed in these strange COVID times. The pretty little cottage extension is tastefully furnished, super clean and really 'comfy and cosy'. An extra treat was the lovely garden created by Sally and Ken, which we had great views of from the lounge and bedroom. The cast iron wood stove just added to our pleasure. Sally and Ken were so welcoming and relaxed - perfect. We will definitely come back to Little Barn and highly recommend it.

Thanks to Ken and Sally this was one of the most comfortable cottages we’ve ever stayed in. No sign of any plastic/leather chairs thank goodness. One problem is that now we’re home I may have to buy a new bed/mattress as the one in the cottage was so comfortable. We will definitely be back, hopefully next year, to sit in the lovely garden and do more exploring.

Little Barn is as charming as its name - nestled down a picturesque country lane, spotlessly clean, stylishly furnished and blessed with its own delightful garden designed by the kind and friendly owners, Ken & Sally who after distinguished careers as illustrators decided to become professional gardeners. North Norfolk's many attractions are within easy reach. Highly reccomended.

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful cottage - the accommodation, layout, facilities and attention to detail were all exceptional .. the weather was glorious so we were able to eat outside enjoying the peace and quiet and beautiful garden every day .. we highly recommend a stay here , there is plenty to do in the area - local walks , cycle rides, steam train trips and the coast is just a short easy drive away . Thank you Sally and Ken , we look forward to a return trip.

We spent a delightful week in Little Barn with two friends and their dog. The cottage is both truly relaxing and extremely well equipped. We wanted a quiet week in a peaceful environment and found Little Barn more than lived up to our hopes. Sally and Ken are charming and helpful, ready for a chat but only there if you want them. The surrounding country is quiet, very rural and beautful. We told Sally and Ken that we would go there again and we do mean to.

This is a delightful hideaway off the main tourist track in north Norfolk. Sally and Ken are professional gardeners, and the setting is delightful. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and we felt very at home. We felt secluded, but not isolated. Highly recommended!

Little Barn is very well situated for exploring north Norfolk, we had a wonderful week. We enjoyed having the space in the cottage for ourselves and our small dog, we were all made very welcome by the hosts. On rainy days we had the wood burner going and could relax in a very cosy living room looking out onto the expansive garden. We will surely come again and can highly recommend Little Barn.

Little Barn is a great place to stay if you love the countryside and want access to the beautiful North Norfolk coastline. The cottage is spotlessly clean and well maintained and the garden is equally pretty. The location is perfect for day trips to places like Cley, Holt and Blakeney, with all their independent shops and cafes. We had a fantastic time!
