Recently refurbished and offering spacious and interesting accommodation for either two families or large parties of friends to enjoy.
DOG OWNERS - We warmly welcome one or two well-behaved furry friends, but please do not make an instant booking if you have more than two dogs. Instead, please message us and let us know about your dog companions and we will consider whether we can accommodate. Please familiarise yourselves with our pet rules.
The Old Barn is ideally situated for a number of pursuits including walking, bird watching, beach activities, or as a base from which to explore all that the North Norfolk Coast has to offer.
Only 2 miles from Thornham in one direction or Hunstanton in the other and 8 miles from Burnham Market. Ringstead, with the great Gin Trap Pub, is also less than a couple of miles away. Sandringham is also just a short drive away too.
Discover the White Horse Pub during a nice walk through the village. They serve an excellent choice of food and drinks. There is also a safe play area and garden for the children too. We regularly stop off here on our walk to the beach.
Heacham is located between Old Hunstanton and Thornham. There are so, so many great places to eat and drink within a 2-3 mile radius; far too many to list.
Huntstanton has a Tesco Superstore, as well as a Sainsburys and many other interesting shops. There is also an enormous Lidl located on the coast road at Heacham, which is really good and something we use a lot. But in this day and age, it is probably just as well to get your groceries delivered by Tesco/Sainsburys and save on room for packing.
Several of the take away restaurants in Hunstanton will deliver to the Old Barn, so there isn't any need to venture out if you don't fancy it and don't fancy cooking. Our favourite curries come from The Spice Garden at Heacham and they are happy to deliver too. We collect our Chinese food from Silk Road, next to the BP Garage at Heacham. This is a very good restaurant which also caters for take aways.
When the weather isn't playing ball and you have young children to entertain, it is worth considering the Oasis centre (Swimming) at Hunstanton, or Farmer Fred's Play Barn at Heacham. Not forgetting 10 Pin Bowling at the Hunstanton Pier, arcades and Sea Life Centre (all at Hunstanton).
ELECTRIC CARS:
Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug. This is not permitted because of fire regulations regarding wiring, earthing rods and voltage restrictions; it poses a serious fire risk to standard 13 amp sockets and there is a real danger that the body of the vehicle could become live. There is no EV Charging point at the property and if you have an EV, you will need to charge it elsewhere. Use of electricity to charge cars is not included in the rental price.
