Belinda
Fantastic property near Old Buckingham Norfolk. Everything and more that you need for a wonderful stay. Welcome hamper is an added bonus. Fully enclosed garden for our dog,and an amazing hot tub to relax. Can't wait to return in November. Lovely welcome from owners Colin and Mary
Sandra
Beautiful cottage, lovely surroundings in the quiet hamlet, everything we needed and more. Hot tub was a pleasure during the cold rainy weather! Welcome pack was a pleasant surprise. Would highly recommend. Thank you
Catherine
This was our second stay at the property, we feel it has all you would wish for on a holiday, so peaceful and relaxing. The whole place is clean and so well equipped. We visited Bury St Edmunds which is about 35 minutes away, and had Sunday lunch at the Bird in Hand Wrenningham, the holiday let is a great base for trips around Norfolk
Lovely place to stay with friends to celebrate the new year. Thank you so much for providing a great experience, we will definitely be back
Denise
PERFECT What a wonderful time we had, the barn is absolutely amazing, plenty of room and well equiped with everything we needed, the welcome basket was a really nice touch along with the wine, orange juice and milk in the fridge. We arrived an hour early and rang the owners to see if we could get in early and as the barn was ready it wasn't a problem at all. The hotub was a bonus, very peaceful surroundings and very private. We would definitely recommend this place to other people and would visit again. Thankyou so much to the owners. Love Denise, Lesley, Julie and Sandra
Amanda
This cottage is absolutely lovely, has everything you could need household itemscutlery wise, possibly could do with a clothes horse for those doing washing during longer stays. Kitchen has all amenities dishwasher and microwave and the lounge is spacious. Well decorated and ambient temperature at all times was just right. Big secure garden from our furry and the hot tub was lovely at the end of each day. I only marked comfort down one as for us being somewhat larger people, the double bed was not roomy enough so my partner slept in one of the other four single beds. I think if there was a king sizesuper king it would have been perfect for us & if one of the two sets of singles was a double we would definitely book again for a visit with the family. Great comms from the owners, lovely welcome basket, milk, orange and wine was very welcomed. Overall great stay.
Darren
A lovely cottage in a lovely location. Sadly the absence of black out blinds and an odd noise repeating every 20 odd seconds throughout the early hours meant no sleep, which in turn meant limited rest, so we came home early a little disappointed. The hot tub was more a luke warm tub and the presence of the cctv camera pointing directly at the back of the property felt invasive and extremely off putting. All together not a property we would revisit.
Penelope
A fabulous place to stay.
Beautiful barn with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Spotlessly clean and beautiful garden. The hot tub was great.
Yvonne
Very well equipped and clean
A spacious and comfortable property with attentive and helpful owners. We had an excellent weeks break.
We had a lovely time at Whitehands Farm Barn! Mary and Colin are lovely people and so helpful and friendly. Colin helped us find the spare gas for the BBQ one evening and was there to help us out. The barn is lovely. Great facilities with ensuites and dressing room area. Also there are decent hairdryers in each room which was perfect as I'd forgotten mine. The listing didn't show that detail although I checked before leaving. I really want to revisit and bring more family as it's a great space to be with friends and family. Highly recommend and we definitely want to return.
Once again we had an amazing stay at Whitehands Farm Barn, the welcome pack was a lovely touch. 3 bedrooms suited our family of 5, plenty of room to not fall over each other. Kitchen is so well equipped, loved the coffee machine each morning. Beautiful walks seeing the deer in the gardens surrounding the barn and the sunsets didnt disappoint, even after a rainy day. Gazebo over the hot tub with the fairy lights was a lovely edition, the hot tub was nice to relax in. Thoroughly recommend the barn, we will return again!
Kathleen
Lovely place cant wait till November
Vanessa
We had a lovely break and would recommend this to anyone!
We took a short break after the hustle and bustle of Xmas, what a great decision. The barn was spotlessly clean, well equipped, dishwasher etc, a lovely welcome basket with wine, tea,coffee, milk & biscuits. If you want peace and quiet this is the perfect place, 1010 for us.Thankyou Colin & Mary.
Catherine
Mary the owner just knocked after we had arrived to tell us she lived in the village and to call if we needed anything, it was nice to know, however everything worked perfectly and we had no complaints whatsoever. Lovely place to stay, hopefully will return again.
Jeanette
Thoroughly enjoyable stay in this lovely barn conversion. Having three bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms suited our multigeneration family holiday. In addition, the hottub was excellent as was the very wellkept garden. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
This property was first class. Everything about it was 2nd to none. Very Clean and Roomy the design of the property has been carried out to a very high standard. There was plenty of parking and a large garden for our dog Winnie winniethepooch2021 to run around. The Hot Tub made it that extra special place after we had been out for the day. We definitely will look to return here next year.
The cottage was amazing, everything you could want and more! Welcome pack was fantastic Hot Tub was such a good addition and was well used by us after a coming home from our days out. Would highly recommended and definitely hope to return ourselves
We had a lovely time at Whitehands Farm Barn. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and the hot tub was fab! Cottage well equipped and clean. We did have a problem with the TV, which we reported to owner and they looked at the next day. Unfortunately it couldnt be fixed so they ordered a new one but this didnt arrive whilst we were there, hopefully it will be in time for the next customers. We were left a lovely welcome pack which was gratefully received! The location was beautiful and perfectly situated for travelling around Norfolk and Suffolk. Would recommend Horsey Windpump, Ross Wildlife Boat Trip, Sandringham Estate, Sutton Hoo, all of the National Trust Houses, and for a lovely meal go to the Gamekeepers in Old Buckenham. Thank you to Colin and Mary for a lovely stay!
Gareth
The property is exactly as listed, the owners are very helpful and communicative. Offering travel suggestions a week ahead, looking to help with cots and high chairs for our children and popping over upon our arrival. We discovered a wasp nest one morning and within an hour Colin was over with pest control and it was dealt work immediately. I couldn't rate Colin more highly!!
We had a wonderful week staying at Whitehands Farm barn. Loved the layout of the building, lovely garden and hot tub.particularly liked the rural peace and tranquillity.
Eirian
Excellent accommodation. Would highly recommend
Darren
This was one of the top rentals we have ever been to. The cottage, location and facilities were exactly what we wanted. We could not have been happier.
Whitehands Farm Barn is a fabulous place to stay. Everything about the barn is top quality, comfortable and spotlessly clean. A lovely welcome basket was waiting for us, plus a tub of treats for our dog. It is the perfect place to unwind or use as a base for exploring Norfolk. We will be staying there again!
What an absolutely lovely place quiet location, well furnished, every home comfort, super clean and the owners could not have been more welcoming.
Caroline
This is a lovely property in a very peaceful location but within reach of Norwich and other places of interest. Everything was maintained to the highest standard and the place was exceptionally well equipped. We had everything we needed for the kitchen with good quality cooking equipment, crockery , cutlery and glassware. The outdoor fridge in the shed, in addition to the one in the house, was very welcome and we appreciated the nice touch of the bag of ice. The garden was lovely and spacious , the hot tub great and there was an outdoor table and chairs, parasol and seat pads. Nothing was wanting. Plenty of car parking space too. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.
Had a great week at Whitehands farm barn. There was a welcome pack when we arrived which was much appreciated. All rooms were En suite which suited our party down to the ground. The barn was well equipped with everything that we needed. Plenty of books, puzzles, games to keep you occupied, plenty of power points in all rooms for chargers etc. The garden is very spacious and well kept, spent plenty of time out enjoying the sun. Loved the hot tub. Fantastic way to end the day, perfect chill down. When we did have an issue with our heating, the owner Colin was on it and got it sorted within an hour. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back ourselves at some point will remember to put the bin out next time
Sharon
All you really need to do at Whitehands Farm Barn is turn up. Everything else has already been thought of and is already there! I specifically bought plastic flutes to have Prosecco in the hot tub, there was no need as plastic glass ware in all shapes and sizes were already there! So now my family and friends have said I have to buy my own hot tub at home to go with my plastic flutes Ill try! Colin and Mary are fantastic hosts. The space they have created for us to enjoy is amazing. I would love to book again in the future and am already definitely recommending Whitehands Farm Barn to everyone I know. It is gorgeous! Only couple of minor points, we never found the drying room but used the clothes airer provided in the shed in front of the radiator in the kitchen. And we got caught out by ordering from one local take away restaurant who only accepted cash on delivery as we only had payment cards on that particular evening.
Jillian
Beautiful cottage, very well equiped and hospitable hosts. Every need is catered for. Would definitely book again. Thank you.
Fabulous cottage, would highly recommend it.
Elaine
This is my third visit and am never disappointed. Its the ideal place for some rest and relaxation. Also handy for getting into Norwich and starting some Christmas shopping.
Veronica
Nigel and Mary had thought of everything. It was very clean with a lovely welcome pack. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
Beautiful property in a lovely location. Hosts were on hand to answer any queries. Everything very well maintained would recommend!
We had a wonderful relaxing time x beautiful place x
Had a nice time. Lovely and quiet. Great base to explore. Not the cleanest when we arrived, had to clean the floors ourselves and chocolate wrappers found behind the sofa. No welcome pack or dishwasher tablets. Dishwasher needed rinse aid and salt, but none in cupboard. Couldve done with a bit of TLC in places, the main bedroom ensuite shower drips kept me awake in the night and the dining room chairs for example were well past their best.
A very well appointed property. The one improvement would be more comfortable seating in the patio area..
