"Lovely cottage in a very good location, clean, comfortable and the owners were friendly and welcoming on arrival."
One slight drawback is noise from the main road, but otherwise a fantastic cottage and my children especially loved it

"Just back from a lovely long weekend."
The barn was comfortable and nicely equipped. However one downside was that the third bedroom was very small, more suited to children.
The hosts were lovely and very helpful when needed.

"A well maintained, pretty cottage."
Plenty of room and all presented to a high standard. Joining Instructions brief but accurate. One of the two smaller bedrooms has a large drawer unit between the beds. This is a little large and caused a few knocks over the weekend.
Only two very minor comments. There is a small ant problem in the bathroom- the owners did warn us though. We could not find any salt and pepper.
All in all a great place to base yourself in the area.

"Our family stay here was just incredible."
I wasn't sure on the size from the photos so was worried it would be small but it was so spacious. The fact they have a utility room before you enter your property is just a fantastic idea and let's you clean everyone from sand and mud etc before entering. The storage room is also so helpful as you can unpack properly and hide your suitcases to feel mode homely. We had a small issue with ants but the owner helped us straight away. The location is fantastic and not far from anything. The beds were super comfy and the underfloor heating was a plus for us!!!! It is a little noisy at night being on the main road but you soon get used to it. Overall we would definitely come back if they would have us!!!

"Very clean & comfortable property with plenty of parking."
It is situated central of Norfolk, so you are only a 40 minute drive from beaches to the north & east. The shared utility area was great for drying off the dogs and washing wellingtons. (Quite muddy dog walks nearby in February!). Would have liked a clock in the open planned area & a TV in the main bedroom, but this did not detract from a wonderful stay. We definitely would return to this property.

"Comfortable, clean and well appointed accommodation."
Very pleasant stay.
More specific directions would be helpful, such as "entrance to property is opposite junction with Marl Hill Road." This would have saved c. 30 mins searching, as satnav directions take you left out of Marl Hill Road, well past the property which itself is not very prominently signed.
Thank you for your kind feedback we are very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay.
The exact location of the property is described in the email that is sent out before your arrival, I'm sorry if you missed that. You also had both of our contact numbers, we would have been happy to help you.
We look forward to welcoming you again to The Long Barn.

"We had a perfect stay at the Long Barn, the accommodation was great and had everything we needed."
It was a lovely touch that Joanne, the owner knocked to check everything was ok. We enjoyed sitting outside one evening with a glass of wine on the swing bench in the private seating area opposite in the corner. The attention to detail provided by the owners was first class and much appreciated, for example welcome biscuits etc. We had a thoroughly nice time in Norfolk which was enhanced by the inviting atmosphere of the Long Barn.

"Having never been to Norfolk before we felt that this was an ideal location to explore the area."
It wasn’t far from Norwich for a bit of culture and the coast was pretty close.
Our accommodation was very well presented and Joanne and her husband very welcoming. Only one tiny criticism I felt there was a need for a shower mat to put in the bath when having a shower.

"Excellent self catering accommodation with everything you could possibly need."
The Barn is located on quite a busy road but the bedrooms are situated the furthest away so not too noisy.
Very friendly owners on hand or a phone call away with help if needed.
Gravel drive which could have been tricky as we had a wheelchair user with us although we were able to park next to the main door to unload and get the chair inside so no real problem.
Just be aware that the small single beds are only 5ft long, so wouldn’t suit everyone.
Lots of places to visit around a 45 minute drive and some lovely beaches too.
Overall a lovely stay and would definitely return.

"Nice property, well located for Norwich and Norfolk coast/beaches."
Nice/ friendly owners. Drawbacks which were not clear in the listing ( I think), are the main Norwich to Fakenham road is right next to the property and is really noisy, virtually from early morning till late in the night; also there is no real garden, just a smallish fenced-off gravelled area which is really part of the driveway between the houses, where guests and owners park their cars, if you were to use the area it would also be affected by the very loud road noise.

"Not suitable for 6 adults as 2 of the single beds are child size and room was tiny, my 6ft guest really struggled and decided to leave early."
No garden for a dog and right on a noisy busy road so had to have our young dog on a lead at all times. Disappointing that there were no off lead walks without having to drive. Kitchen pedal bin broken so had to touch the lid to open. En-suite shower was stuck on hot. Owner was friendly. Good base for travelling around Norfolk. Barn was clean and double bedroom was pretty. The owner left provisions for beverages and biscuits for us. We discovered The Marriotts Way which was a short drive away and was suitable for off lead dog walks.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback for your stay. I am glad you found us well situated to explore all Norfolk has to offer.
We are sorry to hear of the problems you encountered. We do ask you to inform us of any issues you have during your stay, the broken bin and hot water could have been dealt with very quickly. Unfortunately, the countryside surrounding us is all farm owned, crops or livestock make it unsuitable for dogs to roam free. There are lots of on lead walks and as you say Marriott’s Way is just a 15 min walk or short car journey away with 26 miles of bridleway suitable for walking and cycling. The beds in the small room are 6’ beds but I understand this can be a struggle for some as they are wall to wall, I will ask Sykes to mention this in their listing.

"Fantastic location for exploring the north Norfolk coast, of visiting local towns such as Holt which is very dog friendly, full of character, individual shops, coffee shops and charm."
We tend to park at Holt Country park £2.00 for the whole day , walk the dogs through the woods and then walk into Holt itself. Aylsham has a lovely dog friendly Biddies tearoom and is another lovely market town or going into the city of Norwich itself. The owners and cottage are very dog friendly and there are some amazing walks from the doorstep.
