Boathouse Barn

Everything. Location, location, location. Facilities were perfect. The house was roomy and full of light. Being beside the river, it had perfect access for our paddleboards. Bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. Decor was spot on, and all equipment worked and well maintained.

A beautiful property in a wonderful location. The photos really don’t do it justice. The perfect place for a relaxing few days. I have a feeling we will be back.

Fantastic stay in a lovely location. The house itself was very well equipped and worked well for our family (2 adults, 3 children). Everywhere we wanted to visit was within 30 mins drive (beaches, Norfolk broads, National Trust properties, Bewilderwood). Caroline and Matthew were lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome on their beautiful estate. We will definitely be back.

Amazing place to stay. Perfect for our family with grandparents and two young children. The house is spacious and clean, with everything we needed, and we made the most of the tennis court. The setting is idyllic, surrounded by nature. Kingfishers and deer passinf theough everyday. We'll stay again

The location was amazing great for paddle boarding straight from property to coltishall to the rising sun pub/restaurant takes about a slow 20 minute paddle. The hosts were amazing very friendly and helpful. Has a beautiful fenced off garden and patio. Lovely to be able to play tennis on the courts. The house is very spacious and light just can’t fault it. We had to leave when holiday was over could have stayed forever. Can’t wait to return

Great stay, lovely hosts, beautiful, peaceful location, right next to the river Bure. The boathouse is spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. Caroline and Mathew are excellent hosts, welcoming, thoughtful and responsive. The tennis court and paddle boarding are a great bonus and added to our enjoyment but the surroundings, they are just idyllic! The village is just down the road, nearest local pub and restaurant is a 5-10min walk and serves great food, you can’t go wrong!

Lovely location. Nice to be able to sit by the river and walk around the grounds. 15 minute walk to pub where we had a delicious meal. Open plan kitchen/dining/living space was spacious, light filled and relaxing.

Wow! Boathouse Barn is absolutely beautiful. Carolin and Matthew were amazing hosts and both the barn and location spectacular. Absolutely nothing, it was perfect!

Our 3rd time here with family and our dog. It has a been superb and very relaxing break. Very comfortable accommodation and extremely clean. All amenities we needed for our stay. Ideal for our elderly parents with the downstairs bedroom and bathroom/shower. Absolutely Beautiful surroundings to walk around right next to the river. Secure back garden with views, BBQ and seating areas were perfect. Caroline our host was so accommodating. Thank you for wine and crisps and the flowers were a beautiful touch. We look forward to returning again with family. Thank you so much. Nothing

Excellent location Absolutely loved everything about our stay

The boathouse and grounds were amazing, beautiful settings, the hosts were really helpful, they provided an in depth information pack for the place and its surroundings which included everything you could need - local restaurants, places to go. Tennis course was an added bonus and it’s right on the river and lock which is a paddle boarders dream. Some beautiful walks to take the dog on as well, we will definitely be rebooking!

Superb location next to the river - so easy to paddle to and from the Boathouse. Lovely accommodation especially the large open plan kitchen and living room. Kitchen was well-stocked too, and we liked that there were rackets provided for the tennis court even though we didn’t use it - we brought our own kayaks so spent a fair bit of time on the water. Super, secure garden at the back but the brick wall by the patio area leading up to it was jumpable by our labrador - we easily sorted out this though by putting the garden furniture along the wall as an extra barrier, but just something to think about if you have an escape artist for a dog! We all loved our stay and the area. Caroline also posted some prescription meds we left by mistake. That was much appreciated and a very kind thing to do. In a 2-word summary - do book!

Spacious accommodation including outside areas. Clean and comfortable. Magical to sit and watch life on the river, completely relaxing. Kind and thoughtful host. Would love to return.

An amazing place to stay right by the river in beautiful surroundings. The Boathouse Barn is perfect. Walking/canoeing distance to several pubs as well. The hosts had thought of everything. Clean and comfortable. We really didn't want to leave and we'll definitely be back.

Lovely location. The barn is right next to River Bure, and it was a delight to walk along the path/ sit on the bench and watch and interact with the people in kayaks etc. The large and well-equipped kitchen was appreciated by the cooks amongst us, and we enjoyed the occasional visits of Caroline and Matthew's friendly dogs!

Exceptional and very good! From start to finish, this weekend break was outstanding! Lovely hosts Caroline & Matthew.. very welcoming and property was immaculate. Everything catered for you. Even provided a BBQ which went down perfectly.. comfy beds and lay out of property was spot on! Plenty utensils, and lovely finishing touches throughout! River opposite which was so lovely to see. Matthew & Caroline sorted some paddle boards which was wicked! Nice paddle to the rising sun for beverages ! 10/15mins away. Tennis court also opposite which was great fun! Rackets/balls all in property!!!! Grassed private lawn area adjacent in garden.. beautifully kept and peaceful. Walks were outstanding.. Wroxham nearby which is lovely area. Plenty amenities.. local pubs for food was very good! Few shops etc.. very pleasant. Neighbour was also lovely… willing to chat and very friendly.. the whole weekend felt just right! This is without doubt the best place we have been for a while. Well done C & M!

The prettiest Airbnb that we have seen. Amazing riverside gardens. So easy to just walk out into an idyll of daffodils and primroses. It helped that we had superb blue skies but it is a beautiful place.

The owners Caroline and Matthew were super friendly and informative. We had a great stay and the place was beautiful.

Spent the weekend in this lovely property with family. Great location, easy to access and communication from host excellent. Lovely local area and easy to get to local amenities within a 10-15 minute walk. Would love to visit again during the summer to make the most of the surrounding countryside/river.

Excellent location for exploring the boards, location is in such beautiful grounds. Enjoyed lots of family games of tennis, Matthew and Caroline were such great hosts. Nothing at all

A fantastic spot near the river. Very peaceful with lovely walks all around. The Boat Barn was beautiful with everything we needed. We had a great time and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed it too. An ideal holiday with them.

Location, comfortable,everything you needed for a great stay.

Great location and lover being able to canoe from the site (both with borrowed canoe and the ones we had brought.

Amazing location, beautiful big lounge diner perfect for family, access to tennis court & river. Host was so accommodating Na

A beautiful home and amazing location. Caroline and Matthew were fabulous! We will be back!

What a fabulous little place! Beautiful setting by the river and walking distance from some good eating establishments

Great property in beautiful surroundings. Would love to visit again.

What an incredible stay. Everything was perfect including the property, the location and the lovely host Caroline. We will certainly be back. Highly recommend.

Great stay here, would highly recommend!

Boathouse Barn is a well equipped and immaculately maintained property in a beautiful location. There is plenty of space and it suited our family group of five very well. The beds were comfortable and the underfloor heating kept the Barn warm and inviting, despite a cold and damp December weekend.

Picture perfect property! A Countryside setting was exactly what my family needed to spend quality time together. The Boathouse Barn is beautifully decorated and designed on the inside. The outside is beautiful and charming. Looking forward to returning on our next visit!

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. It was just what we needed for our long weekend away. The house was well equipped. We would love to come back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you!

Excellent accommodation- clean and in a beautiful location. Sat nav misdirected us and so more detailed instructions might have been helpful and the front door was a little stiff. Otherwise first class and well equipped place.

Lovely cottage with excellent facilities, close to local pubs and shops. Beautiful views and walks for the dog. The weather ? can't be helped.

Beautiful place to stay. The Barn was comfortable and had everything we could want. The gardens and river was stunning!

We (2 adults & 1 child) had a wonderful week staying at Boathouse Barn! I received very helpful information from Norfolk Holiday Properties before arrival but had no cause to contact them during our stay. The property itself is stunning and in a beautiful tranquil location right next to the river. There is lots to do in the area but we spent most of the time in the grounds of the property or exploring the river by canoe and paddle board. The owner of the property was easily contactable, very approachable and couldn’t seem to do enough to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful place to stay. Would highly recommend staying. The host was very pleasant told us about the walks and hiring their boat or canoe if we wanted to. Their dogs were loose which is fine but did have to be very careful of driving down the driveway as they came very close to the cars.

Wow what a discovery! Boathouse Barn is set in idyllic grounds. Where else can you row a boat to the local pub?! The photos do not do it justice! What’s more the kitchen is very well equipped for those who like to cook; and the BBQ outside was simple but perfect for our stay. The Barn is close to the Broads and the gorgeous beaches of Norfolk. A real winner of a holiday - thank you!

We stayed, as a group of six, over a long weekend earlier this month. The accommodation was very spacious, recently refurbished, clean and well maintained throughout. The location is superb, with tennis courts within the grounds, a fabulous pub/restaurant (Recruiting Sergeant) a short stroll away and easy access to the Bute Valley railway/cycle path and Wroxham. We all had a great time and would recommend to friends and family.

Stunning and disabled friendly property. It was difficult to know whether it would be ok for our disabled guest to manoeuvre, as it wasn’t listed as such, but Norfolk HP were very helpful. Thank you

It was difficult to sleep as it was so hot upstairs . The window only opened an inch as there was a child lock which we totally understand is necessary. Portable fans would have made it easier to sleep.

We had an absolutely fabulous, relaxing break. I spent some time fishing - caught some lovely Roach and a nice Bream - al returned unharmed of course! The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, with nature at every glance. We saw a Grass Snake swimming across the river - I haven't seen one of those since childhood - as well as a Kingfisher, and a beautiful family of swans with 6 cygnets! Sunday was quite busy with very friendly people paddle-boarding so we had a nice chat to quite a few people. In summary, a fabulous break, fabulous location and hoping to return as soon as possible!!

Boathouse Barn definitely has the wow factor! Amazing inside and in a beautiful, peaceful spot. A little slice of paradise. We’ll be back!

Wow! Amazing location, amazing property and amazing host. So peaceful and calm. One of those places you don’t really want to let others know about as you want it all to yourself! The river is beautiful and the grounds are stunning. It immerses you in nature. Super high quality interior and oodles of space. Don’t hesitate, book it.

6 of us stayed at the property,everything that we needed was there,apart from the weather,but that didn’t stop our enjoyment of the surroundings,beautiful setting by the river,lovely grounds,our host Caroline was very helpful.

Boathouse Barn was brilliantly located for us. We we visiting Bewilderwood and Wroxham. Plus we have family living nearby

Beautiful , peaceful location , super comfy beds, very well equipped. The property was advertised as 3 bathrooms, however there was just one en - suite and one downstairs with bath and toilet . The” third bathroom “ was a small shower in the utility room. This meant the second upstairs bedroom had no toilet facilities . This was very difficult as all 3 couples needed their own bathrooms especially at night

Location was just excellent, perfect. Enjoyed eating out in from of river. Nothing really.

Enjoyed a lovely few days in the boat house. The property was clean, spacious, and met the needs of our families. The scenery was beautiful and the tennis court was a fantastic place for the kids to play. The local pubs and tourist attractions were fab. Thoroughly recommend.

This converted barn is absolutely stunning and set in a wonderfully peaceful location with a river running by. Caroline, the host lives nearby and was very helpful and friendly. There’s lots to do in the area and Norwich is close by with all facilities.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. So comfortable and relaxing, spacious and well equipped, beautiful surroundings, and very welcoming hosts. we will be back in the summer to enjoy the river and tennis. Thank you!

Exceptional communication, Caroline is a great host . Stunning surroundings which matched the Boathouse Barn . Lovely walks in surrounding area . Extremely peaceful , with only birdsong song to hear . Great wi-fi reception. Even the towels were first class . Would recommend that everybody should stay here at some point .

Truly beautiful place. We were so happy to have found this place and the kids loved it. Everything you could want (and more). Host was excellent and the little welcome gifts were very welcome too! Hope to back one day soon. X

Boathouse Barn is a gem. The most wonderful location and Caroline and Matt could not have been more welcoming. It has everything you could possibly want inside and out. We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!

We all absolutely loved our stay, the house was perfect! Could ask for anymore. The location was perfect for us and the owners were great with communicating. The 6 of us were all so impressed and happy. We even used the boat and rowed to the pub, so much fun! 10/10 :)

Brilliant little barn on a magical property and unmissable location. Hosts were excellent and super helpful. Loved it!

Great stay. Great hosts. Great location. Be sure to make the most of the river!

A lovely property in a beautiful location.

This is such a special place. Recommend wholeheartedly! The entire family (dog included!) absolutely loved it. A perfect spot by the river and a mini Easter break full of amazing memories. Thanks so much from us all xx

An incredible property set in beautiful grounds with lovely and helpful owners nearby should you require. I cannot recommend the place enough.

When you head down the driveway at the entrance, it becomes apparent you’ve arrived somewhere very, very special. And the Boathouse Barn itself is equally as stunning as it’s surroundings. It’s clear that a lot of time and effort has gone into making this a high-quality, well-designed and homely place to stay. The large kitchen and living area was excellent for our group, and though the property is on two levels, the bathroom and one bedroom is on the ground floor, which is excellent if anybody has an issue with mobility/stairs. Caroline was very welcoming and friendly, offering local advice for our stay and welcoming our dog Seb too. Just be aware that gineaufowl are on site if you bring a pet. Location-wise it’s perfect - only a short drive to Norwich, and not far from the lovely coastal town of Cromer. Top tip: book ahead for lunch or dunner at The Gunton Arms (tremendous) or the nearby pub Recruiting Soldier - both are excellent, but booking is advised. Boathouse Barn is a real gem. We had a magnificent stay and would highly recommend it!

Beautiful property set in beautiful grounds, completely idyllic getaway.

Amazing location and lovely owners. Fantastic property. We loved our stay at the Boat House!!!

An outstanding property in a magical location. The barn is really spacious, stylish and very well equipped. The location is superb being only a 10 minute walk from a great pub and a deli. It is sited behind the main house but has great privacy and is right next to the gently flowing river Bure. We stayed in February when the snowdrops were out in abundance carpeting the surrounding parkland and woodlands. The morning walk with our dog through the woods with birds of prey swooping around, gave an uplifting start to the day. We very much appreciated the underfloor heating too. I would have no hesitation recommending this property and hope to visit again.

Such a beautiful place on the river with lovely hosts

A lovely spacious property situated in beautiful surroundings, nice and peaceful. Hosts were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions.

Beautiful house, tastefully renovated, and in a fantastic location, with all the facilities and space needed for a perfect family Christmas! Set in beautiful surroundings by the river, with great walks though the woods, around the estate and village, just look out for the guineafowl - larger than you think!

The Boathouse Barn is beautiful and perfect for a family gathering. Lots of excellent finishing touches that gave us a ton of inspiration for when we renovate our own home . We also loved the grounds - the river and the guinea fowl were family favorites! Strongly recommend this property.

Wonderful stay in a lovely area! Perfect for a family getaway.

If you want a beautiful house, quality fittings and furnishings in a stunning location, then this is a must.

Great accommodation in a beutiful setting right on the river. Great if you're into canoeing or paddleboarding.

Beautiful property, extremely clean and well maintained- amazing kitchen!

Such a gorgeous property in a beautiful location. We loved our visit and hope to be back next summer.

Lovely property in an amazing location

The house and location were perfect for a multi-generational holiday; a delightful combination of optional activities and relaxing location. The boathouse barn is very comfortable and well-equipped, so everything was very easy.

Simply the best find and our best staycation rental yet! Don't hesitate and book now! The barn is just perfect with everything you could need, and the setting is idyllic - peaceful and beautiful, with friendly dogs and chickens to check in on every day. We can't wait to return.

Wonderful! Can’t rate highly enough. Such a gorgeous light and airy property and gorgeous grounds. We loved being by the water. Hosts were easy to deal with and gave clear instructions for entry. Very impressed!

Had a fantastic stay at boathouse barn. Had everything you needed at the property and there was a lovely welcome gift for us. Our hosts Caroline and Mathew was so friendly. Can’t wait to go back for another visit

Brilliant location and property. Hosts are very welcoming. Couldn’t fault anything about our trip - highly recommend the Boathouse Barn!

Gorgeous boathouse ideally located and equipped with everything you could need. Would definitely recommend!

Great location and hosts.

Absolutely wonderful location on the river, peaceful and very beautiful. The barn is very well equipped, spacious and warm. Hosts are welcoming and generous. Perfect place to explore the Broads from, or just stay home at the barn and have a great time there!

We have just returned from the most amazing trip to the boathouse barn. The pictures really don’t do this lovely place justice. The barn is so spacious well heated and cosy, decor was beautiful and grounds that it is set within stunning. The kitchen equipment, ovens etc were perfect for our stay, we had everything we needed and we loved the little touches like chocolate fingers, milk and butter supplied for us upon arrival. Great TV in the living room for those rainy stay at home days, Netflix, amazon prime, itv hub etc. The enclosed garden space was great for our dogs who also stayed. Check in and out was easy and we met Lily who was on call if we needed anything, she was super lovely! There is a great pub just a 10 min walk away called the recruiting Sargent and we also visited the Gunton arms which was a 20 min drive (suggested in our welcome pack). Thank you for making us feel so welcome, we cannot wait to visit again soon!

Great place - location, style, friendly - well worth visiting

Everything was perfect from start to finish, we would love to return!

Lovely and comfortable property, exactly as advertised. Great communication and clear instructions. Shame we were only there 2 nights - hope to go back.

An amazing place to stay, with beautiful surroundings. We will most certainly be back!

Just returned from an amazing week at Boat House Barn. Facilities were top notch, property is decorated and equipped to a very high standard. The location is idyllic right next to a very pretty river, short walk to a great pub, easy drive to the coast and nearby towns. Caroline and Matthew were amazing hosts letting us use there canoe, kayaks and paddle boards (great pub on river is a short paddle away), inviting us to pick veg from there garden and greenhouse, offering good advice on the local area and being on hand if we needed anything. We would definitely visit again, can’t fault this property, don’t hesitate to book.

A beautiful property in an amazing location with fantastic hosts who went above and beyond! Would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay in this big beautiful barn. There is so much to do here - tennis, canoing down the river that runs next to the property and down towards the pub, walking the beautiful property, and visiting the nearby beaches for a day trip. But we also enjoyed just as much relaxing in the beautiful garden. This place is also just a short drive from Norwich but also walking distance to a small shop & pubs! Caro and Matt were also very welcoming and friendly! Definitely recommend staying here!

We had a dream stay at the Boathouse Barn - stylish, immaculately clean and incredibly comfortable. Fab location right on the river but also easy walking distance from shops, pubs etc. Caroline was the perfect host and gave us great insider tips on the area. Highly recommend - we could not have asked for more!
