Beautiful barn

The manor barn is beautiful inside and out. We had everything we needed for a cosy comfortable stay. Secure fencing for our dogs with a courtyard and orchard for them to run around. We will definitely be going back Beautiful beach to walk the dogs We had an amazing stay couldn’t fault it

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Perfect hideaway

We'd had a 7 hour journey to get to Manor Barn (almost twice as long as Google promised) so we were quite tired when we arrived. However, we totally forgot all of that almost instantly and felt both at home and welcomed by our hosts due to the attention to detail and the amazing welcome basket. Our dog also settled very quickly and we used one of the available crates for her bed so it was just like home for her. I'm certain she loved the big bag of treats that were just for her as she took to sitting near them and asking for more!! Both the yard and the garden were ideal for her to feel both at home and play safely. Her first trip round the garden perimeter was a relief as I could see there was no way she could escape!! We loved not having to drive anywhere for the first few days as the walks to the local beaches, lighthouse and water tower were just perfect. The hedgerows were in full bloom and paths were a delight to walk along. We also ventured a bit further and enjoyed visiting and learning about the wildlife and history of "the broads" which were very close. I loved the slow mornings we chose for ourselves and spent almost all of them sat in early morning sun in the yard with a cup of tea, listening to the birds. It was so quiet there was little else to hear apart from the odd bee and occasional fighter jet. The peace was perfect. The good thing about the yard was it also got the sun in the evening and so the tea got swapped for a glass of wine!! We mostly dined at home and the fully equipped kitchen made that so easy. The bonus of Netflix meant my crochet stayed in it's bag as we enjoyed watching a film (whilst we munched on our welcome pack biscuits and cakes) to round the evening off. By the end of the week we were all much more relaxed and our aches and pains had eased up by the walking and chilling! We would love to return regularly but, unfortunately for us, might need to psych ourselves up a little for the journey beforehand. PS Driving home we agreed we should get new towels and bedding because we loved the quality of the one's at Manor Barn so much!!

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.

What Luxury

We had the best weekend away at Manor Barn, 3 female friends and 2 medium sized dogs. Everything about Manor Barn is just WOW, beautifully decorated in a neutral palette with a relaxed feel, quality furnishings in every room, everything you need is there somewhere for humans and dogs, with plenty of space for everyone inside and out. 2 interlinked, secure, private outdoor spaces with direct access from the barn, huge kitchen so several people can prep and cook together and no shortage of seating in the living room for lounging around. It was bitterly cold weather when we were there but the Barn was always warm and toasty, we had to turn the heating down in the evening when the fire was lit. It's a 15-20 mins walk to the lovely local beach and the pub, with many other sights and beaches an easy drive away, the weekend really wasn't long enough and I'd love to go back for longer in warmer weather to fully utilise the beautiful outdoor spaces too.

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.

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.

A Wonderful Holiday for Humans & Dog!

Our stay in Manor Barn was perfect. We felt comfortable the moment we arrived. The garden outside is designed beautifully with seating areas and fenced off so we knew our dog could wander safely. Stunning little sun trap even this time of year. Inside everything we could possibly need was provided. Lovely clean dog throws for the sofa, dog bowls, poo bags & treats. For the humans we were well catered for with local goodies, well equipped kitchen and lovely rooms to relax in. The dressing gowns and toiletries were a great addition. We absolutely loved the log burner! That made our evenings so cosy and warm. We explored the local area as it was our first time in Norfolk and happily used the guide provided to seek out places and visit pubs. We now have many favourites to return to. All in all a fantastic week which the dog thoroughly enjoyed, and we did too.

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

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.

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.

Great stay at Manor Barn Happisburgh

We had a fantastic stay at Manor Barn. It has to be the best equipped holiday cottage we have stayed in. There was everything you could ever want. It was cosy and warm, a home from home. There was a scrumptious welcome pack with lots of local goodies for both the 2 legged and 4 legged guests. The owners were on hand for help and advise if needed but also respected our privacy. There was a comprehensive guide to the cottage with lots of great information. We really appreciated how dog friendly it was, with throws for the sofas, extra dog towels, bowls, toys and spare leads. The enclosed garden was great for them to mooch around in. There was also a covered sitting area for us. There are great walks from the cottage either on foot or a short drive away. The lovely sandy beaches are a must to visit.

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.
