I have more than 1 dog; can I bring them all?

We usually have a 2 dog per barn limit, but if you have more please ask as we may consider it.

Yes, it is. The 2 lowest points in the garden are 3 ft high gates, the rest of the courtyard is surround by at least a 10ft high wall. The courtyard garden is shared by all 3 barns so we do ask that if other guests are outside you keep your dogs on their leads/under close control. Please also be mindful that not all our guests may like dogs. Perfect for late night and early morning wee trips!

The barns are arranged around a shared courtyard garden and the front door to each barn is through the courtyard. Each barn has an area for sitting outside and the plants on the pergola provide some screening.

Yes, but this is rural Norfolk so can be flakey at times and it's certainly not super-fast! You will also find that mobile coverage is limited depending on which provider you use � but you are on holiday!

What time can I arrive?

Usually 4pm as it takes all day to clean all 3 barns during peak holiday periods. Out of season you may be able to gain access earlier, so please ask.

How do I get the keys to my barn?

You will receive the code to the key safe and easy instructions before your stay.

Yes, no problem. Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda, Waitrose all deliver here. The postcode is NR11 7NB. There is an extra fridge and freezer in the open barn for use by everyone.
