We stayed at the Courtyard Barn for a hen weekend, all 10 of us. There was plenty of space for everyone, sofas were massive and there were loads of games there we could play. It was a novelty to cook on the aga which heated the kitchen lovely, a great centrepiece for the room. The bedding was clean, loads of hot running water and the bath in the en suite was the biggest bath I had ever seen! A very nice character barn conversion. There were a few things that we had a problem with, firstly no other toilet paper was supplied except for 1 extra roll so we had 4 rolls for 10 of us over a 3 night/4 day stay which wasn't enough. We were told they don't supply anymore rolls which I have never come across before and I have stayed at many holiday cottages but we weren't advised to bring any with us. I would rather pay £2 extra for the barn and get another 4 rolls! Another major problem was the amount of flies we had in there, we have never seen so many. We had planned to have a buffet one evening but we couldn't due to the amount of flies landing everywhere, they even crawled on you when you were sleeping. One of the party killed 18 flies which were in just the bathroom! One evening in the kitchen we killed 60 flies but within a few hours there were loads back again. In the sitting room on our last night we killed over 80 flies which we kept in a pile so the owners know we are telling the truth. We didn't have windows/doors open so they were not coming in that way, it is more than likely they were hatching inside the barn somewhere. I live in the country but I do not get invasions like this. It needed a thorough clean everywhere, we noticed part of a game under the sofa which we didn't get out and there were bits of food down the side of the aga and down the side of the fridge there was dried milk. Some of the external doors are locked with no key to open it like the one in the master bedroom. The door to the grass area outside is unlocked but with no key to lock it and the front door does not lock from the inside or the outside so if you go out you can't lock the door! We had to wedge the chair against the door at night to feel more at ease even though the owner said (when he was asked about the door not locking) we would be fine he has never known a break in but that isn't the point. Also if you go into the hot tub, which did smell like old fish tank water then do not shut that door behind you as you won't be able to get back in the house. We were appreciative of the 2 baskets of logs the owner gave us and it was nice to see how they renovated the barn, lots of pictures near utility room. Overall we all enjoyed ourselves and if the few issues above were sorted out it would be 10/10. We would certainly recommend the chef coming to cook and the pamper session.

10 of us visited for a family holiday, grandparents wedding anniversary.

The house is really big and the 10 of us had loads of space. The house was cosy and warm even though it was big.

The location is very quite and with a hut tub, snooker room, etc there was plenty to keep us all occupied.

Not far from the beaches of North Norfolk. The owners let us take our pet dog which was nice.

Would highly recommend.

As for suggestions I would say take some extra bottled water. The water is from a borehole and safe but the taste is not for everyone, the owners do supply bottled water but it might not be something that you would otherwise have packed.

Courtyard barn is a wonderful place to stay for any occasion. We had a great weekend for my sisters hen party. Owners were very welcoming and helpful. It was the perfect place to spend the weekend. Excellent facilities. A beautiful house. Thank you!

10 friends went away for a long weekend. We found Courtyard Barn an ideal place to stay, clean, tidy and very cosy. On suite shower to die for. Would go back and wished we had stayed longer.
