Spacious barn, seals, seaside walks and Broads National Park
Built in the early 1900s as a stable block and tractor shed, the barn has been redesigned by a local architect with modern living and comfort in mind whilst retaining original beams. Sitting in it's own wrap around garden with views onto the fields the barn has an open plan living room with a log burner for cosy nights inside whilst the sun drenched patio offers the ideal spot for alfresco dining or watching the sun go down. A grassed lawn stretching the length of the stable block links with a second patio off the master bedroom suite. It offers plenty of space to relax and unwind all year round. You may spot the local barn owls, bats circling over the garden in the evenings, geese migrating across the skies or muntjac and deer roaming the fields. The barn is situated in the small peaceful hamlet of Runham with a shop and 2 pubs approximately 2 miles away in neighboring villages. From the barn take a gentle walk down to the River Bure across open fields for a picnic or a 20 minute walk along the country roads will lead you to Thrigby Wildlife Gardens. In the village there is a small children's playground and village green. Empty roads and the odd gentle hill makes cycling easy and pleasurable for all abilities. The expansive unspoilt sandy beaches of Caister await 5 miles away for swimming , sand castles and seal spotting, while boat hire on the broads is just 3 miles. Please note that the barn has 2 open steps between the dining area and main living space and a step in the master bedroom. In addition, it does not have hand rails in either of the bathrooms.
What a fantastic little find! Such a well equipped rental, feels like a real home from home. Super clean and super nice hosts. Thanks for a great week.
We have stayed at many self catering locations, many are average but Bishops Barn is by far the best we have stayed in. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Attention to detail all the added extras make you feel so welcome.Keith and Diana
We got there a little early, but wasnât a problem Viv had baked us a lovely loaf of bread. There is a lovely outside space the kitchen with table & chairs, also a table tennis table all covered up also outside space of one bedroom, again where you can sit The lovely thing also is childrenâs books & games it is quite spot in a village, so not near the beach Other than that if you want a quiet spot perfect, sorry no pics taken & know shop near by
Such a beautiful property and gardens, in a lovely location. The host has been sooooo thoughtful in equipping the property and providing welcome treats. I cannot recommend highly enough - it's even good value for the price!
We had a wonderful time staying at Bishopâs Barn, we hope to return in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone else. Viv is an excellent host - before arriving she sent us extremely helpful information that allowed us to plan our trip and the house was spotless and very well equipped. Thank you for everything!
Beautiful barn in a beautiful setting. Fully equipped with everything you could need and more! Very thoughtful welcome hamper with homemade bread! Would highly recommend and would stay again. The ping pong table was a hit with our children.
We loved our stay here. The barn was beautifully decorated with some original features, & tastefully modernised. Spotlessly clean, amazing shower, gorgeous garden space, and a very friendly cat, Pop, who visited. Viv & David were perfect hosts who had great dining & other recommendations, and were very accommodating. The fresh tulips, welcome hamper and cakes were also very thoughtful and a lovely touch, as were the fresh eggs from their hens, which were delicious! We would definitely return and recommend Bishop's Barn to friends and family.
Clean, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Brilliant welcome pack, dietary requirements catered for. A fantastic stay with lots of cycling and plenty of,places to visit. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

We loved our stay in this beautiful barn. Fully equipped kitchen, great space for family and time spent in the barn. Ping pong table a big hit with the kids and a great garden for playing. The log burner was a big hit with the adults, spending our evenings in front of the fire.thanks Viv and David
Fantastic property and equally fantastic host. Lovely touches such as a goodie bag and home made cake and bread.
Easy access to lots of lovejy places will definitely be back
Excellent barn conversion and hospitality. Very quiet detached property with great log burner. Spotlessly clean with very nice furnishings and good size modern TV (and small TVs in bedrooms that we didn't use). Enjoyed playing table tennis in the garden. Highly recommend
Our stay was so relaxing and peaceful and we dream of our next visit back. Viv, truly made us feel welcome, with providing much needed necessities for our arrival, with a delicious baked bread and butterfly cupcakes (could open up her own bakery), milk and a welcome gift basket. The property is superb and has everything you need and feels like home away from home. Thank you Viv, for making our stay enjoyable and memorable.
The hosts have anticipated their guests every need in this fabulous property within striking distance of the Norfolk Broads and east coast beaches.
The attention to detail was appreciated.
Looking forward to staying again.
Wow what an amazing property in a lovely tranquil location. The barn was spotlessly clean and the attention to detail was evident throughout. The welcome pack on arrival was perfect with Birthday treats included for my mum. Viv was a great host.
Die Wohnung ist in einer ehemaligen Scheune eingerichtet und bietet viel Platz und Komfort. Der kleine Ort bietet nichts auĂer viel Ruhe, Pubs, Freizeitangebote und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind innnerhalb von 10-20 Minuten Fahrtzeit erreichbar.
This barn conversion really has the Wow factor. Attention to detail by the hosts is evident as soon as you walk in the door. Briliant welcome pack, including home-made bread and cakes, fresh eggs, and flowers and lots more. Such a relaxing, quiet place, but so much to do and explore on the doorstep. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable.
The property was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The host left us a very generous welcome pack, homemade bread and cakes and gorgeous sunflowers. The kids enjoyed the games available at the property and we all enjoyed the odd game of table tennis! The Barn had everything we could need for a week away and the hosts left detailed information about Bishopâs Barn and the surrounding areas. We enjoyed boating on the broads (hired from Herbert Woods), beach days and Bewilderwood, all within half an hour from the Barn A great base to explore Norfolk and wonderful to come back to after a strenuous day at the beach!
