    We also appreciated the very thoughtful gifts when we arrived. It's our second time and we will be back next year.

  • "We had another relaxing and cosy week at Honey Buzzard Barn."

    Thank you to the owners for saying hello and asking us to see them with any needs we had, also for settling in gifts including milk. We felt relaxed from the moment we arrived and spent a relaxing time reading on the big, comfy sofas. We would love to book again but the journey across country has defeated us! We will miss coming. Best wishes, Sarah and Howard from Devon

  • "Honey Buzzard Cottage is certainly not a 4 star property."

    Lack of attention to detail including lack of cutlery cooking implements, crockery, mirrors and very dark and lighting is an issue throughout. Cleanliness is a major issue though as we encountered very dirty pans and urine stained mattress covers. Owners have no regard to their guests either . Wouldn’t recommend this barn or Sykes cottages.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry we did not meet your expectations on this occasion. If you had raised any of your concerns with us at any point during the week we would have, of course, fixed them for you immediately. We have the highest regard for all of our guests and whilst disappointed with your feedback, we take it very seriously. We will supply an additional lamp to improve the lighting and have already added a potato masher to the kitchen. Property Owner

  • "A lovely property in which to spend a holiday."

    The weather wasn't good for a couple of days but we weren't bothered as it was such a nice comfy place to lounge around in. The owners deserve full credit for all their hard work on an excellent barn conversion. Just a word about Sat Nav signal - if you have an old system like ours in your car it's liable to drop out in this area. Ours did which made for an interesting map reading exercise to find it!

    It is very well equipped, clean and located in an ideal area for travel to all of North Norfolk's attractions. The owners are very friendly and easy going. It has been a pleasure to chat with them. Indie, our cockerpoo and myself even went on a couple of walks with the resident cockerpoo Penny and her owner Catherine. It was great seeing the produce in the fields, sugar beet and peas to mention a few. As for the wildlife, lots of hares in the fields and even a deer was seen. The tracks used were traffic free except for the rare car going to a local property. Ideal to let Indie run off lead in safety. Simply the best. I will return to this oasis of peace and rest in the future

  • "On arrival We were greeted by Alistair and he was very helpful and told us that if we needed anything to just knock on their door, my daughter arrived shortly after us and Catherine greeted them and couldn't have been more welcoming."

    The barn conversion is very warm and comfortable with oil fired under floor heating and all the facilities you need for an enjoyable stay. There's even a multi fuel (coal/logs) burner in the living room but we didn't need to use it. The bathroom has a roll top bath with shower combi tap attached, separate shower cubicle and heated towel rail. The Kitchen has a fridge freezer, full range electric cooker, microwave, washing machine and dish washer to make your stay a pleasure. The Bedrooms are warm and cosy, one double and one twin room. The conversion is a perfect mix of comfort and old world charm still has the quirky oak beams, exposed brickwork and the reclaimed high bay lighting used is from Frank Whittle's Estate, the sole inventer of the jet engine, and having worked on commercial jet engines myself was a neat little touch. There is a safe enclosed courtyard for children or dogs but although the listing says 'enclosed garden' it is just a courtyard, but that didn't detract from our stay. The location is perfect, well placed within easy reach of shops, pubs etc. and the Langham glass shop and glass blowing workshops is well worth a visit and is about 15min drive. Sandringham and Holkham beach are also about 45min away and a must visit. We really enjoyed our stay, even though many places were closed in November it's still a lovely area and we'll probably return earlier in the year at some time. Thank you again Alistair and Catherine for a lovely stay.

  • "I would give five stars to the actual accommodation but dropped one star due to the fact that there was a slight misrepresentation in the description of the property, in that there was a very, very small garden on the property."

    Described as a private garden, the actual garden was a small area fenced off in front of the property. Also the courtyard was facing a six foot high brick wall with no view at all. I had wanted a large garden for my GSD dog. Somewhat disappointed, but the owners did allow access to farmland which compensated for the lack of garden.

    Thank you for your feedback. The listing is as described when it comes to the outdoor space - "Enclosed courtyard with furniture" and the imagery does clearly depict this. We do not advertise the property as having a large garden, though it is adviseable to inquire ahead of booking if you have any queries at all regarding the property.

    Washing machine inside door seal and powder tray was very dirty, we had to clean this before the one only wash we did. Excellent secure areas for our two dogs. Barn conversion itself, very lovely with lots of features and all tastefully done. Just about everything we needed was provided for and a nice small touch of tea, coffee & sugar and milk in the fridge. Water and heating was adequate and we did have to utilise the multi fuel burner one night as it was very cold. Honey Buzzard Barn, lives up to it`s name as there are plenty of Buzzards and other varieties of wild birds to see easily. Once off the quite dangerous road, there were some good walk areas, however, and unfortunately, we picked the wrong week as it rained every day of our break.

    Everything you need in the way of practical items is supplied which has not always been the case in past holiday cottages we have stayed in. The village shop was closed when we arrived so we expected to have to go to Morrisons, it was such a relief, after a long journey, to find milk in the fridge and a welcome-pack of coffees, tea, sugar and biscuits (not forgetting dog biscuits for our dog). Rooms are all spacious and cosy. We particularly liked being able to leave the patio door open so our dog could wander out into the small, secure, private courtyard. There is also a small patch of grass in front of the cottage. Many paths around the immediate vicinity are ideal for walking dogs or just for taking a leisurely stroll. The area itself is beautiful with plenty places to visit including Stately Homes and gardens, pretty villages, nature reserves and the coast. The cottage has been lovingly renovated with many unique features and great attention to detail. The owners, next door, are friendly and genuinely wish to please their guests. We will be back and would like to thank the owners for this chance to stay in such a great cottage in this beautiful area.

A lane adjoining the cottage is brilliant for giving our two dogs an excellent walk, but not ideal at 7am in the morning.

  • "Lovely warm comfortable cottage and so much room for 4 people."

    Finished to a very high standard. The owners ( next door) bought us a radio when we said we could do with one in the kitchen. Fairly isolated ( 1 mile to nearest pub and shop), but didn’t feel like a problem as north Norfolk coast within easy driving/cycling distance. Brilliant holiday. Would highly recommend

Situated on the River Wensum, half way between Norwich and Kings Lynn it is an excellent, central location for exploring Norfolk. The town holds a popular Thursday market which takes over most of the town centre with local traders and those from further afield selling a wide selection of goods. The town also plays host to a Farmers’ Market, monthly on the fourth Saturday of every month, ideal for stocking up on fresh local produce. Fakenham is a very attractive market town with pretty brick and flint-faced buildings, narrow alleyways and side streets to explore. Often referred to as the Gateway to Norfolk this town really does offer a perfect base for exploring this beautiful county. You are only a twenty minute drive from the coastal towns of Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham and Burham Overy where you will find miles of pine forests, sandy beaches, salt marshes, tidal creeks and great opportunities for birdwatching. There are some lovely areas of unspoilt countryside and villages and the Holkham Estate has a number of attractions and a fabulous deer park.
