1 / 16Bird Barn
Scottow, Norfolk
A detached barn conversion for four at Scottow in Norfolk, between the Broads and the coast, with an enclosed lawned garden, owners on site and two dogs welcome.
The secure garden is a godsend when you have a dog, said one guest at Bird Barn, and that about sums up why it is here. This is a detached, dog friendly barn conversion for four at Scottow, in the quiet country between the Norfolk Broads and the north Norfolk coast, with an enclosed lawn and two dogs welcome.
The owners live on site and leave treats for the visitors and the dogs alike. Downstairs is one open space of living, dining and kitchen, with the garden through the door; upstairs, a king bedroom and a room of two singles share the one bathroom. The lawn is enclosed, with a patio and furniture, and it takes children and dogs playing on it equally well.
Bird Barn works for a couple with two dogs, or a small family with one. Mornings are for a walk along the lanes, afternoons for the Broads or the beach, and the evening comes back to the lawn, dogs stretched out on the grass while the light goes over the fields. It is a simple, well kept barn run by people who are there if you need them.
Footpaths, trails and quiet lanes surround the barn for walking from the door. Wroxham, the busiest village on the Broads, is a short drive, with boats for hire and river trips, and the RSPB reserve at Hickling Broad is further along the water. The sandy beaches at Mundesley and Happisburgh are the nearest seaside for a dog, and Norwich, with its cathedral and castle, makes a day out.
