• "We have stayed at duckling barn now for the last few years snd really love the place and that is why we don’t hesitate going back as a family."

  We have already booked again for the next year. The owners are also very nice .

• "This property is comfortable and warm, and well equipped, but it did smell a bit ‘doggy’ when we arrived."

  Hard floors throughout would avoid this. The shower was loose on the wall and the valve isolating the bath tap did not work, so when the overhead spray or hand held spray was in use the water also ran from the tap, reducing the pressure. The blind in the bedroom with the double bed was broken and had to be closed one slat at a time. The garden is just right for our little dog.

  Hi. Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the comfort warmth and the well equipped house. The carpets in the bedrooms and living room are vaxed regular but this is not possible on every changover due to drying times involved. Hard floors through the kitchen and bathrooms are mopped weekly. The shower valve was recently replaced and is working well. You will get some run off between switching the unit from wand to overhead shower, and back to bath, they are all like this, I'm sorry this did not meet your expectations. We hope you would consider returning again and if so please let us know during you stay if you have any issues so we can come to inspect them and rectify where possible. Kind regards Property Owner

  Great location, well equipped kitchen. Plenty of towels & bedding. Only feedback would be to provide more comfortable garden furniture and a brolly for outdoor living.

• "Our second time in this barn conversion."

  From the outside it doesn't look wonderful and internally a bit dark. I would partly agree with some previous reviews about grubby windows, but this is an extremely dusty and sandy area. The inside is comfortable and has all we needed for our weeks stay. A small enclosed garden for our retired Greyhound,also quiet walks.. Nearby superstore, a chippy and a kebab shop. There are also a couple of dog friendly pubs a short drive away.Our problem was we were both suffering colds the whole week.

  Small and safely enclosed garden with a place to sit out if you have your dog with you. 10 minutes walk to the beach and well stocked convenience store as well as food take-aways. Bacton woods within 2 miles is a super alternative to walking on the beach. Easy access to Cromer and the Broads. Gunton Arms is a great dining option nearby. An enjoyable break despite a lack of sunshine!

• "Comfortable and warm property, with very efficient heating."

  Ideal quiet location with a lovely garden space for our dog. We found the barn a little dark inside and some of the spotlights weren’t functioning, nor were a couple of lamps. The property was clean enough, but we noticed window blinds were dusty and in some cases there were cobwebs around the windows, beams etc. It could do with a little spring clean. It was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, although the bottle opener was broken and needed replacing. All in all we had a lovely week helped by the dry weather and would rent this barn again.

• "Duckling barn was a well equipped property and a good base to see some of what is on offer in North Norfolk."

  Shame there was no information in the property about the local area and how things work (washing machine etc) and what days the bins go out . The lighting is very atmospheric, in keeping with a barn conversion but a bit dim for living . The sink area in the kitchen is very dark . The garden area was wonderful for the dogs and the washing line was useful. I think 2 cars would be a very tight squeeze unless they were very small cars . Yes we would stay at duckling barn again .

  The only disappointment was the listing said there was a pub in a 2 minute walking distance however this had been closed down. It was great we could take both our dogs and the garden was fully enclosed for them and they loved going on the beach. The barn certainly had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.

• "We had a lovely stay at Duckling Barn, it was warm and cosy."

  A large lounge with a good size TV and a modern kitchen and bathroom. The mattress on the double bed was firm but reasonably comfortable. The only thing we found to be missing I have seen already mentioned on other reports. 1, lack of anywhere to sit outside, the picnic bench is very uncomfortable to sit on it could do with some chairs. Also a lack of information. We are used to having some leaflets showing local attractions, and a visitors book where you can pick up all sorts of recommendations for places to visit and eat etc.

• "We had an amazing time at Duckling Barn."

  The position of the property is brilliant. The inside space was really clean and comfortable. It was cool inside the cottage and we were there in the 30+ week! The reason we didn’t give full marks is the lack of comfortable seating outside. There was a picnic bench to eat at but we were unable to sit at this for any length of time. The property was also listed as being near a pub. Unfortunately the pub had closed down and so we walked to Poachers Pocket in Walcott. A lovely walk along the sea front but not the 5 minute walk we expected. We would love to spend another week at Duckling Barn and are looking into rebooking. Thank you for a great holiday.

• "We had a lovely stay and loved the character of the barn, but just a few small niggles."

  Lack of info/instructions on electrical items, the TV in the master bedroom didnt work, we worked it out in the end and had to re-install the channels. Lighting in the property was very dim, it was difficult to read in the lounge. The gravelled area in the garden was not just pebbles, there were very sharp pieces that looked like broken shells. The outcome was that my pet ended up cutting his pads on one foot - not drastic but should be noted. We really enjoyed our stay and would return but be aware of these small niggles.

  We are a family of 5 with 2 dogs and fit in comfortably. Clean and well looked after property with all amenities, good size fridge/freezer and oven, with lovely outdoor space. Large living room with comfy couch. My only minor comments would be to have 5th dining chair to fit at the dining table when eating inside- or maybe a bigger table that could fold out when in use. With dogs that like to escape, a taller back gate would have felt more secure- though the wheelie bins did help. Ability to walk to the beach was brilliant and the outdoor drying stand was great for wetsuits. Thank you

• "Needs to be better for the price."

  All small things that are easily remedied, but they mount up. First of all the cottage is in a good location for access to the beach only a short walk away, and driving to nearby attractions. The nearby pub has closed down, the Fish & Chip shop is awful, but the Chinese Take Away/Restaurant is very good (cash only). So the description of the property needs updating. Overall the standard of cleanliness is good, but cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling in the bathroom let it down. The coat rack by the front door was hanging off the wall, making it unusable. Needs rehanging using proper plugs, and maybe an extra screw in the middle. Bath sheets rather than bath towels would be a better option, the extra cost is minimal but makes a huge difference to the guests. The kitchen is quite well stocked, but little things like no tongs or matching wine glasses let it down. The patio doors into the back garden stick badly and will only open with a good kick…not good. Also I don’t expect to find foxgloves growing in an allegedly dog friendly garden. They may well have been seeded by birds, but again the fact that they’re there shows lack of attention to the small details. The mattress on the double bed isn’t the most comfortable and is probably due replacing. T.V.’s are in every room, but none of them are smart T.V.’s which are a must in my book in this day and age. The sofa isn’t comfortable and is showing signs of age. Little things like not providing extra toilet rolls or washing pods for the washing machine prevent me awarding full marks, but what has knocked it down to a 3 is the passive aggressive sign on the bedroom door saying “Dear Guests We have taken extra steps to clean this property for you. COVID-19 Guests should strip beds and place linen and towels in laundry baskets before departure. Guests should empty bins before departure.” So, not only are guest’s expected to check out an hour earlier than most other properties, you’re now expected to do half the cleaning work? We never leave the cottages we stay in in a mess, but sorry, we draw the line at stripping beds and emptying bins. We’re guests, not servants!

• "Duckling Barn was a great stay."

  Bedding & Towels were super clean and of a good quality. The garden area was great and much improved from the photos on the listing and it was secure for pets and small children. Everything was in good order and working, nothing broken or in need or repair. Easy and safe parking right next to the property. Great central heating. A clothes arier would have been useful to dry washing in these winter months. The kitchen cupboards and contents could have been a bit cleaner and the kitchen would benefit from a few more serving dishes, eg casserole dishes etc to make self catering easier. Overall, highly recommended - a great stay.

  The overwhelming smell of dog hits you as soon as you enter the house and we needed to purchase both gel and aerosol air fresheners as well as leave all windows open. Carpets covered in dog hair (which despite photos owner denies!) We did not have a dog with us but do own 2 cats and have had a dog for 17 years so we are not * not animal people” before you think we are just being super sensitive! Broken handles on chest of drawers and toaster leaving sharp metal bit sticking out, shower seal covered in hair and needing replaced, touch points at light switches grotty. Owner did admit some bits needed painted but will only have time during “maintenance week”. Maybe should have tried some maintenance during lockdown, like everyone else. Grass cut and just left on lawn. Needless to say late check in, early check out - no idea why because definitely no enhanced covid cleaning going on here and yes you’re guessed it - don’t even think of asking for a refund of any kind. No chance - it must all just have been a bad dream. PS Yes, as other reviewers have said the house is in a nice area of Norfolk BUT so are hundreds of others

• "The location was a good base to visit various areas of Norfolk."

  We felt very comfortable in the home and it was very thoughtful to pets with an enclosed garden, poo bags, water bowl and towel. It is a quiet location without it being remote.

• "Property was of a very good standard, nice and clean, only problem was too hot in the bedrooms the heating could be set to a lower temperature the thermostat in main bedroom did not seem to alter the temperature of the radiator."

  But on the whole it was a good holiday break with nice touches like towels for the dogs and complimentary biscuits on arrival. Many thanks John and Lynn Blockley

  The cottage was very well equipped and you would never know dogs were allowed there. Wonderful to have two exits and great loacation. Thank you very much.

• "Lovely cottage just minutes from the beach!"

  We had a really fabulous time. There was lots of equipment we needed but as it seems quite new it would benefit from: A side table for lamp in master bedroom Hook on the back of the main bathroom door Measuring jug in kitchen Other than that nothing negative to say at all. Would definitely book again.
