About this property

Fabulous 1 bed character barn conversion ideal for a romatic getaway

Pheasant Barn is a beautiful Norfolk barn conversion which is full of character, centrally heated and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. This super property boasts a high standard bathroom, well equipped kitchen, sumptuous bedroom, vaulted ceilings and high standard soft furnishings. Our photos and superb guest reviews speak for themselves! If you are looking for a tranquil base to explore Norfolk and Suffolk from then look no further.
Pheasant Barn has origins dating back to the 17th/18th centuries. This renovated 1 bedroom barn conversion affords traditional accommodation; exposed beams and Norfolk wood floors sit alongside modern appliances - Pheasant Barn is all on ground floor level making it potentially suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility, however please note that given the historic limitations of our properties (former barns), we have chosen not to be part of the NAS (National Accessible Scheme) grading. Therefore, we do not provide hoists, grab rails, shower seats, toilet raisers or any fixtures and fittings required by the NAS ( ask for more details). The barn is ideally suited to a couple. On arrival you will be greeted by the high vaulted and beamed ceiling of the kitchen/dining area. This leads through to the living area with french doors on to a private patio. A door off the dining area takes you to a well appointed double bedroom with bathroom off. The spacious bathroom has a standard sized bath with shower over. In the living area there is a comfortable sofa where you can relax. To the outside is a patio, lawned garden, BBQ and garden furniture from which to enjoy the rural views after a day exploring.

Alborough House Holiday Barns sit in the rural hamlet of Forncett St Mary just 9 miles south of Norwich and close to the Suffolk/Norfolk borders. Nearby attractions include Banham Zoo, Steam museums at Bressingham and Forncett and Wymondham Abbey. The village of Long Stratton is 3 miles away with shops and facilities and the market Town of Diss is nearby. The medieval city of Norwich is some 9 miles north. Dunston Hall some 5 miles away has a wonderful Spa and Golf course (open to non-residents) . The famous Norfolk Broads are within easy reach and perfect for a day exploring on one of the many boats for hire. The Suffolk Heritage coast is under an hour away and includes the famous towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh, popular for their coloured beach houses, fashionable shops and beaches, including some of the best fish and chips around. Also within reach is the North Norfolk coast, including seaside towns such as Cromer and the pretty town of Wells next the sea, famous for crabbing along the quay, Blakeney and of course the beach and stately home at Holkham. Slightly further away is the Queens Christmas residence of Sandringham, but still easily accessible for a day trip.

Our converted barns are situated in a quiet and rural setting perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Although rural, we are very well situated to be within striking distance of the many tourist attractions both Norfolk and Suffolk have to offer. Local villages offer some excellent pubs for those wanting to sample good food and real ales.

Both our barns are equipped to high standards and offer the appealing combination of character features together with modern day central heating, kitchens and bathrooms. Both barns are equipped with ceramic hobs, fan ovens, microwaves, washing machines, irons/iron boards, TV/DVD and more. We welcome well behaved dogs (see our terms and conditions for details) and each barn has its own self contained small garden. There is ample car parking available for our guests.

Great time had at Pheasant Barn
The property was clean and provided everything we needed for a base to explore Norfolk and Suffolk. The owners were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive and provided information about the area for birdwatching via their neighbour, greatly appreciated. There was a lovely welcome package of biscuits, milk and Prosecco waiting for us when we arrived that was lovely. A lovely property to stay in and I am sure we will return one day. Liz and John thank you for everything.

Comfortable cottage in rural area and generous host
The neighbouring cottage was semi-detached to ours. Which meant that we were very aware of the neighbouring guests talking late at night. Overall though, we very much enjoyed our stay and found the cottage extremely comfortable.

Spring break
Cosy, clean and well furnished accommodation, very welcoming hosts, quiet location, good outside space (weather permitting!) In the middle of farmland so lots of wildlife to be seen, plenty of marked footpaths joining local villages. Nearest shops a few miles away although fresh laid eggs and potatoes can be bought locally. Very enjoyable stay away from the hustle and bustle of normal living.
Stayed 7 nights in May 2021
