Spacious barn, seals, seaside walks and Broads National Park

Built in the early 1900s as a stable block and tractor shed, the barn has been redesigned by a local architect with modern living and comfort in mind whilst retaining original beams. Sitting in it's own wrap around garden with views onto the fields the barn has an open plan living room with a log burner for cosy nights inside whilst the sun drenched patio offers the ideal spot for alfresco dining or watching the sun go down. A grassed lawn stretching the length of the stable block links with a second patio off the master bedroom suite. It offers plenty of space to relax and unwind all year round.
You may spot the local barn owls, bats circling over the garden in the evenings, geese migrating across the skies or muntjac and deer roaming the fields.
The barn is situated in the small peaceful hamlet of Runham with a shop and 2 pubs approximately 2 miles away in neighboring villages. From the barn take a gentle walk down to the River Bure across open fields for a picnic or a 20 minute walk along the country roads will lead you to Thrigby Wildlife Gardens. In the village there is a small children's playground and village green.
Empty roads and the odd gentle hill makes cycling easy and pleasurable for all abilities. The expansive unspoilt sandy beaches of Caister await 5 miles away for swimming , sand castles and seal spotting, while boat hire on the broads is just 3 miles.
Please note that the barn has 2 open steps between the dining area and main living space and a step in the master bedroom. In addition, it does not have hand rails in either of the bathrooms.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a furnished patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Property was perfect for a weekend in Norfolk. The village is very quiet and only a 10min drive to shops/cafes. We made full use of the firepit and bbq and the table tennis table was a nice bonus!

The Barn was perfect. Everything I needed was available. The place was spotless and I felt very much at home. There was a lovely hamper waiting with goodies in, including my favourite Prosecco. The location was in easy reach of Hemsby and Yarmouth as my son wanted to go to the arcades. The host always responded quickly to messages and was within easy reach if I needed anything. I’m now going to make this my favourite place to stay when we want a few days near the arcade. Thank you Viv.

We had a wonderful stay in Bishop's Barn. The Barn itself has been renovated to a high standard and was extremely well equipped.It is in the perfect location for exploring the Norfolk Broads and surrounding areas such as Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Gorleston.The welcome hamper was amazing and we really enjoyed the homemade bread and cakes along with the prosecco and apple juice in addition to some everyday essentials.

We loved our stay here. The barn was beautifully decorated with some original features, & tastefully modernised. Spotlessly clean, amazing shower, gorgeous garden space, and a very friendly cat, Pop, who visited. Viv & David were perfect hosts who had great dining & other recommendations, and were very accommodating. The fresh tulips, welcome hamper and cakes were also very thoughtful and a lovely touch, as were the fresh eggs from their hens, which were delicious! We would definitely return and recommend Bishop's Barn to friends and family.

Our stay was so relaxing and peaceful and we dream of our next visit back. Viv, truly made us feel welcome, with providing much needed necessities for our arrival, with a delicious baked bread and butterfly cupcakes (could open up her own bakery), milk and a welcome gift basket. The property is superb and has everything you need and feels like home away from home. Thank you Viv, for making our stay enjoyable and memorable.
