Wroxham Barns

8.8 5 reviews

Part of an award-winning attraction five minutes' drive from Wroxham
Close to the Norfolk Broads and 20 minutes' drive to nearest beach
Free entry to the on-site farm and fun park included during your stay

If ‘happy kids = happy holiday’ is your motto when looking for a place to stay, you’ll likely be quite taken with the setup at Wroxham Barns. Stays here are in an excellent spot for lots of Norfolk days out (including beaches, the Broads and various attractions), but the real highlight is surely having one of those attractions right on site… The campsite here is part of the award-winning Wroxham Barns attraction, full of independent craft/artisan shops and places to eat. That means it’ll be as easy as could be to pick up top-notch local food and drinks from the delicatessen, or settle in for meals at one of three cafés on site. Guests here also get complimentary access to the Junior Farm & Fun Park for the duration of their stay, so you can pop in any time to meet the alpacas, pigs and ponies, race around on the go-karts or spend time at one of many play areas. There are extra activities laid on during the summer holidays too, so there’s little danger of youngsters running out of things to do (meaning parents can have a little bit of quiet time into the bargain…) Facilities here have been designed to make sure everyone is catered for, so bathrooms have parent-friendly washrooms and accessible facilities, and there's a wifi connection for easy communications. Dogs are welcome too, and there should be plenty of places nearby to take them out for a good rural walk. Speaking of walks, you can get to Wroxham in about half an hour on foot (along a footpath) or drive it in five minutes to get to more places to eat and shop, plus boat hire places.

Local attractions

A fair chunk of your time may well be spent on site, poking in the shops or hanging out with the animals, but there's plenty more to explore around this area. For starters, you might like to work up an appetite for a cake in the café by following one of the nearby walks or cycle paths, several of which are suitable for families. Other ways to see the scenery? How about paddleboarding or kayaking from either Coltishall or Horstead (both 10 minutes’ drive) or hiring a boat from Wroxham (five minutes) to get out into the Broads National Park? If you’d rather take it very way, board a narrow-gauge train for a ride on the Bure Valley Railway (five minutes). Elsewhere, you may like to seek out the adventures that await at BeWILDerwood Norfolk (five minutes), spend some time on the sand in Sea Palling (20 minutes) or go crabbing from the pier in Cromer (half an hour).

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Liked every thing about this campsite! So much for the kids to do, with access to the farm, fun park, sports events and activities. There is the luxury of campsite takeaways and the cafe will bring tea and breakfast to your camp. You can take hot showers and have access to all the kitchen area with kettles, toasters and microwaves. Brilliant place and the campsite staff and brilliant lady’s in the cafe are amazing!!

Disliked: Absolutely nothing!
