Maple Barns, Swanton Morley, Dereham, Norfolk

Nestled within the charming village of Swanton Morley in the heart of rural Norfolk, Maple Barns offers a collection of stunning barn conversions and holiday cottages set around the picturesque courtyard of The Limes, a Victorian coach house.

Owl Barn and Pheasant Barn are two of the gems you'll find here. Each barn features its own private garden at the rear, offering tranquil views of Norfolk's farmland. You can relax on the patio and take advantage of convenient off-road parking. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by interiors of the highest quality, with rustic and spacious characteristics like original brickwork, traditional beams, and cozy wood-burning stoves. The kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and en suites are all fully equipped, ensuring your comfort during your Norfolk stay.

The lounges are adorned with luxurious sofas, modern flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and midi Hi-Fi systems. In the well-fitted kitchens, you'll find all the facilities for self-catering, including a hob, oven, toaster, and microwave. Dine on solid country pine furniture or enjoy a meal on the private patio accessible through the French doors in the lounge. If dining out is more your style, the nearby Darby's freehouse pub is just a few minutes' walk away, offering an excellent menu and a lovely beer garden with a play area for children.

Upstairs, each barn's bedroom boasts a solid wooden double bed with top-quality linen. These rooms also feature fitted wardrobes, TVs, and en suite facilities. Both barns also have a downstairs bedroom with bathroom facilities, making them suitable for various group sizes. A highchair and cot are available for visitors with young children.
