    “Church Farm Barn was home from home, in fact better!”

    ! It was spacious for our 3 generation celebration. The 2 lounges offered everyone some space and the large kitchen a wonderful place to gather. The facilities were great and the utensils plentiful. It didn't matter if the dishwasher was running as there was still plenty of everything for the 10 of us. We all loved sitting around the big table eating, playing games and just being together. The beds were a dream and wonderful not to have to queue for the bathroom. Even though we were ...

    ! It was spacious for our 3 generation celebration. The 2 lounges offered everyone some space and the large kitchen a wonderful place to gather. The facilities were great and the utensils plentiful. It didn't matter if the dishwasher was running as there was still plenty of everything for the 10 of us. We all loved sitting around the big table eating, playing games and just being together. The beds were a dream and wonderful not to have to queue for the bathroom. Even though we were pleasantly surprised by good weather the lovely outside area wasn't used much due to a chilly wind. However, it was still great for an Easter egg hunt. The table tennis was important with 2 boys but we were so busy out and about that it wasn't used as much as I expected. So another time! Great to be able to walk to a pub and the beach and even as far as Westleton. The only criticism would be that the 5 bar gate needs some meshing over it as our small 4 legged friend could get through and one day he saw a deer and ran around the house and onto the drive next door. So a small gate at the side would make the patio more secure. We would highly recommend this property and would love to come again but so many places to visit.
