A dream thatched cottage

We loved this thatched barn conversion, so much space I doors and out, even a little orchard where we could have our family badminton games. It was very close to 2 lovely beaches and easy travelling distance to The Broads. All you could ever want was provided with a fantastic welcome pack and the loveliest vase of freshly cut home grown flowers.

A truly dog friendly relaxing break

We had a lovely relaxing time at manor barn. There were four adults including my 90 year old mum and my disabled sister plus a mix of 8 dogs . The whole barn was extremely well equipped to suit the needs of all. The all access dog areas were fab and all of our dogs appreciated them. It was extremely hot so we spent a lovely two days not moving but that was fine. We even took our panther chameleon karma who had a very happy week

Birthday stay

On our recent stay at Manor barn we had a lovely time with all the family & 2 dogs. Everything was very clean & well equipped. Lots of lovely walks & beaches to die for, all fairly close. Would love to return in the summer to enable use of the outdoor seating & facilities.

Great house in a super location

We had a fantastic few days at Manor Barn. Very clean and well appointed, the barn has a lovely, cosy feel. Great, fully enclosed garden. We loved being able to walk down to the nearby beach with the dogs. Lots of lovely places to eat nearby.

Magical

Beautiful barn, the exterior & interior took your breath away. Pictures do not do it justice. Felt at home immediately. Was comfortable, cosy & so quiet. Humans & dogs were catered for perfectly. So grateful for the ground floor bedroom due to my tripod lurcher. He needs to go out in the night so I could hear him asking. All towns & beaches close by so perfect location. Welcome goodies were gorgeous & thanks for birthday bubbles . Best place we have stayed & are coming back.

Perfect

My second visit to Manor Barn and from the communication prior to arrival to the care and attention during my stay everything is spot on. The dog adore the space both inside and out and it is ideally placed for long walks down winding lanes, across fields and to the beach at Happisburgh. I could go on but really this cottage has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing and luxuriously comfortable holiday in a great location and with discreet but available hosts. Perfect for my boisterous team of dogs and perfect for me.

A family holiday with the dogs

Had a great week in a lovely cottage, we had everything we needed and more. The six dogs enjoyed the walks and beaches. We would have no hesitation in recommending this holiday cottage.

Great family break

We visited Manor Barn with my wife, 3 month old son, mother and 4 dogs for 1 week. The owners were fantastic with communication before and during the stay and the Barn is fantastic. Being so quiet and set back from the road was fantastic for us as one of our dogs is reactive to cars and people. The folder of information provided is very well put together answering any questions you could have and providing lots of recommendations. We loved our morning walks on the beach, lazy afternoons in the barn and a few meals out locally. We’ll definitely be back.

My dog had to be persuaded to leave with biscuits

Our second stay here and it was faultless. We love Manor Farm Barn for the attention to detail. There’s a very secure courtyard where I can let my dog out each morning and a beautiful orchard. The furniture is very comfortable and what I’d buy for my home along with the crockery and kitchen goods. Oh and the downstairs shower, I needed to be persuaded to leave with breakfast! What I love most is that it’s all good quality items. There isn’t anything that feels like an afterthought or a bit tatty, it’s invested in and therefore so are the guests.

Wonderful barn

We had a fantastic few days at Manor Barn- it has everything you could wish for and more besides. As it was wet weather the dry yard was a big bonus to avoid endless muddy paws. It was also ideal for the hot tub we hired in. The barn was really warm and cosy- perfect for a winter break for all ages and dogs.

Relaxing stay

A beautiful thatched cottage, postcard worthy ! Manor Barn is beautifully appointed with all the home comforts you could need and spotlessly clean. It is located on the outskirts of a lovely quiet village called Happisburgh, the village has 1 shop, a pub and a fishmongers with freshly caught fish.15-20 minutes drive will take you lovely Broads. 5 minutes drive to Cart Gap beach which has a lovely little cafe and is dog friendly. A relaxing stay and will certainly book again

Family holiday

We have just returned from a lovely week at Manor Barn. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the week, including our four dogs who could not believe the garden was just for them. The barn is very well appointed and had everything we required and the welcome hamper was lovely. Tracey and Dan could not have been more helpful. We hope to return in the future.

Wonderful property with bags of character

Manor Barn is a beautiful property sleeping up to 6 people. We were just two adults and two large dogs so just used the ground floor during our stay. Everything we could need was provided with an excellently equipped kitchen, plenty of logs and kindling for the log burner, and a fab welcome basket of local produce. The garden and courtyard were secure and ideal for our two large reactive dogs, who settled in well. Very dog friendly place and we’d love to return in warmer weather to enjoy the outside space more.

Beautiful barn, great personal touches

Manor Barn is beautifully converted and decorated. It is well stocked with everything you might need as a human or a dog. Tracey the owner gave us space but was very helpful when if we needed her. Lots of personal touches including flowers, starter food and a card welcoming us.

Absolutely fantastic stay at wonderful cottage

Just come back from a glorious week long stay. This is a fantastic cottage, probably the best cottage we've ever stayed at. Perfect for a doggie holiday. The cottage is equipped with everything you could ever need, was exceptionally clean with all doggie and human needs catered for. The welcome pack was the icing on the cake. The beach was a 20 min walk and was perfect for long doggie walks, we didn't want to leave. Will hopefully be back again

Beautiful property.

We were greeted by the lovely owner, very friendly and exceptionally helpful in every way. We'd placed a very late order for the fish platter, which I would highly recommend for a delicious and convenient dinner. The baths, the beds, the sofas were all wonderful and fluffy bathrobes a bonus. The welcome tray of goodies and essentials was very much appreciated. Highly recommended for a luxurious and relaxing weekend, even when the weather is as rainy as it was on our weekend.

A Little paradise

Manor barn is a little paradise! We came here for a family reunion, with children and our dog Tilou who is still very young, it was his second time away from home and a total success! The place is absolutely charming and the owner has been so welcoming and caring throughout our stay. We couldn’t have hoped for a better place and we’ve had such a nice time. Tilou had a blast at the beach, in the corn field around the barn and the barn has everything we would wish for to make him settled and have a lot of fun. We would love to come back for a future family gathering, our stay was just perfect and Tilou loved it.

Our favourite barn in Norfolk

Our 2nd stay at Manor Barn did not disappoint! It seems to have become our favourite summer stay. It is beautifully laid out and ideal for our family, fantastic having a ground level bedroom and shower room as we take older parents with us. It is so secure with all the gates. We always feel safe and comfortable. As all the bedding and sofa throws are cleaned after every stay we know it is so clean and overall we love the feel the barn offers. It is perfectly situated for us too lovely walks and a beach nearly on the doorstep.We can’t wait for our next stay.

The Barn is simply Superb, full marks from me

The Barn is beautifully converted to create 5* living. Spotless with every home comfort provided. Plus a carefully considered welcome pack! 5 spaniels and a Border Terrier were also completely catered for with 2 dog proof outdoor areas. The sun shone, great local walking and beaches followed by relaxing in the garden and outside seating/dining areas. Looking forward to next time.

Beautiful barn conversion in quiet corner of Norfolk.

Manor barn was perfect for our family and dogs. The children loved the cart shed and hammock, the dogs were comfortable and our little reactive rescue was calm. And it was very close to the beach for daily excursions! The barn was so beautifully furnished, so in keeping with the building. Plenty of space and very comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. And the welcome tray was to die for! Thankyou.

Our Stay at Manor Barn

We had a lovely week at Manor Barn. Tracey was very helpful and so quick with messages but also allowed us to have our privacy whilst away. We brought our reactive dog away with us and didn’t hear anything from Tracey’s dogs next door. The garden was secure and very peaceful. The barn was clean and had everything we needed for us and our dog and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Being able to allow our dog in the sofas with the throws provided was great as she is very nervous and likes to lay next to us. A great place to stay with or without a dog.

The perfect stay.

This is my second time of visiting Manor barn in Happisburg and I have to say, there isn’t a better place to stay. Tracey & Dan have lovingly created a super luxurious holiday stay that is also unbelievably dog friendly too. Everything inside is quality, the bedrooms and bathrooms are wonderfully kitted out and the rooms are all spacious. The outside is secure and has a beautiful garden with gorgeous flowers , furniture and outside areas that you can relax and enjoy your break. The location is perfect and is a short walk to endless and quiet beaches. Being self employed and having two dogs that I treat like children I rarely take holidays, but by choice I would holiday here every time. It’s just perfect.

Beautiful barn!!

We had a wonderful time at Manor Barn. The barn was so clean and well equipped with the best furnishings and crockery, the towels and bedding are fabulous!! Body wash and shampoo and conditioner supplied which was so appreciated. Vegan and earth friendly products too which was a bonus and meant I didn’t have to pack my own! Such a comfortable and cosy property. The courtyard garden is a lovely place to sit and the dogs enjoyed the orchard garden. Fabulous welcome pack, we couldn’t have sled for more. Fabulous, quiet location close to the beach. 10/10

Marvellous Manor Barn

We had a lovely weekend at Manor Barn to celebrate a special family birthday. Perfect for both humans and hounds! Wonderful welcome pack & loved the Emma Bridgewater crockery in the beautiful kitchen. Living room is so cosy with the log burner on and the boot room was great for the dogs stuff. Everything you could think of has been provided - throws, crates, robes, toiletries, kitchen essentials. The outside space was great too & very secure. Would love to come back in the Spring/Summer to try out the hammock & hire a hot tub! Thank you Tracey, Dan & Team ERC for another lovely stay in Norfolk.
