• "We enjoyed our stay at The Hen House very much."

  Chris and Claire made us very welcome. The cooked breakfast ingredients were a welcome surprise, Despite the inclement weather we were able to find plenty of things to do. We would also recommend Capadocia Restaurant in Diss if you enjoy Turkish food.

  Thank you very much for your delightful review and we're so pleased you had a great break! Best wishes, Claire & Chris Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful 4 night stay at "The Hen House" - and were blessed with absolutely stunning weather all week!"

  Red House Farm has around 5 acres of beautiful grounds to explore - along with ponies, hens, bats after dark (and you might see deer if you're lucky! We saw a muntjac one evening). The barn conversion is perfect - very comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed watching the birds in the little garden on the bird feeder, and sitting outside on the sun loungers. There are some gorgeous walks in the local area - We enjoyed walking to the church ruins of St. Mary's Tivetshall - and recommend the Ram at Tivetshall for a hearty lunch. Claire and Chris's recommendations in the Information Guide were spot on! We had a marvellous daytrip to Pensthorpe Nature Park near Fakenham and we had delicious Fish & Chips from "The Little Chippy" in Dickleburgh en-route back to the Farm (both these were recommended in the black folder!). Claire and Chris are great hosts - we enjoyed the friendly chats, meeting all your animals, and talking about the local area. We will have no hesitation in recommending your lovely holiday Lets to family and friends. Thank You!!

  Wow - thank you!!! What a fantastic review (which will be a great guide for future guests) and we are thrilled you had such a great week. It was a total delight to meet you and we so.enjoyed your pleasure in your experiences here. Thank you so much again! Very best wishes, Claire & Chris Property Owner

  Be aware that the Crown in Gissing does not have chef so food not available. However The Crown at Burston just 2 miles away is great, good menu at reasonable prices & staff really friendly. We visited Cromer & Sheringham about 1 hr 20 mins away. Bury St Edmunds & Lavenam 1/2 hour away, not to be missed. Southwold & Aldburgh both lovely coast towns worth the trip.

  .. we were not disappointed it had everything and more. Claire & Chris made us feel very welcome from the start... arriving a little late in the evening we were greeted by them both. The barn was well equipped and immaculately clean. Bed very comfortable. All you needed for a cooked breakfast was supplied for first morning... bacon, sausage, tomatoes & freshly laid eggs which was a lovely touch and not expected. Outside space very welcoming with table, chairs & loungers to catch the afternoon sun. We walked to the village (about a mile and half round trip with hardly any traffic) visited the church and the local pub. Met the ponies (Ronnie & Reggie ), the geese, ducks, cats. Watched the bats at dusk - great location is you are an animal lover. Cannot fault the area for peace & quiet. Supermarket close by at Diss (15 mins by car) to stock up on supplies as the pub wasn't offering food at the time we visited but this didn't spoil our experience at all. We will definitely be back !

  Where the cottage did not meet expectations for us was mainly the heating, I had to ask Chris a few times to come ad turn the heating up as he had the controls, although I can understand his reason for this, I did not think it was good. The heating at this time of year is very important and I felt we should be in control of that. The other point I think is worth mentioning is the oven, it had old fat in the base of the oven and when heated it a bad smell. Regards Peter

  I am sorry to hear that the property did not meet your expectations reference to the heating. I would like to assure yourself and future guest that the heating is set to 21°C starting from 6am through to 10pm at night during the winter season. I apologise if this is not to your preference, however this has never been an issue previously and would like to say that we did come round as requested and increased the temperature to 24°C.

  It's a converted farm building, as the name suggests, which is just right for a couple seeking a break in the countryside. The accommodation is comfortable and contemporary, well-equipped and well furnished. The hosts are on hand to help with any needs of concerns without being intrusive. It is very quiet apart from the occasional train passing nearby (as mentioned in the listing) and it's set in a farm with poultry, geese, and donkeys and some nearby horses as well as local wildlife. The location is not close to anywhere, which may be to your liking, but it doesn't take too long to get out to Diss or Norwich or the southern end of the Broads if you want to go for a drive. A lovely place, commended by this happy couple.

• "What a find!"

  We have had the best time on our week away in The Hen House. A fantastic greeting set the tone for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Our hosts, Claire and Chris, couldn’t have been more welcoming, providing a cooked breakfast for our first morning there, as well as very helpful hints and tips about travelling around the local area. We were very fortunate to have great weather which meant we saw the absolute best that Norfolk and Suffolk could provide. Picturesque villages are aplenty with wonderful friendly pubs along the way. The Crown at Burston and The Crown at Pulham Market are a must - but you’ll never be short of somewhere to stop for a pint or two. The cottage itself is ideal for a couple looking to kick back and relax - all one one floor makes for easy access with a lovely patio at the back to enjoy a morning coffee. Everything you need for your week away is provided - an extremely comfortable bed, en-suite, comfy couch, well-appointed kitchen and plenty of space. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better holiday, a lovely place to return to after travelling all day to take in the sights. Thank you! We will be back :)
