Black Barn Farm

A aimé It was very quiet, not so busy on our weekend visit. We didn't stay in one place all day because we came for a coastal walk, which is a 25-30 minute drive away. You'll find a Premier store about 1 mile away in the village. They open the upstairs cafe for public access around 9-10 AM. There were a lot of people at breakfast time.

The toilets (three individual units plus one accessible) and showers (two individual units) are very clean. There's also a water tap outside.

Very-very poor signal on EE and poor on Vodafone. Didn't request access for the wifi. Found out this is a problem in the entire area, not only on this site.

Truly recommended, although I'm not sure how busy the site gets at other times

A aimé Although we only live 30 miles away we decided to have a little long weekend break in our new found bolt hole which is black Barn Farm. It has all the things you would want tranquility and easy access to the city of Norwich if you want that. We particularly loved the friendly nature of all the staff members not only were they courteous but enthused to help with any query.
Having a small promenade of shops beneath their restaurant is a stroke of genius providing a small butchers and clothing outlets. Upstairs At the restaurant You can expect Good service And a friendly welcome Not to mention A gloriously large balcony Overlooking the site and the Farmland Beyond. We loved it and we'll be coming back again soon.

N'a pas aimé Needed a little grass trim on the pitches prior to occupation.
But can't wait to see how the hedging progresses to provide individual bays with a natural border.
The Elson point needs some Renovations.

A aimé The pitch was quiet, each one sectioned off with wild flowers, we eat in the barn restaurant which was great and they had a few little shops and an excellent butchers.
A real country feel, it was our second stay there.

A aimé Trevor and Ellie the site owner/daughter very friendly and accommodating. Individual pitches separated on either side by hedge shrubbery. Large orchard great for dog walking exercise and very large barn with individual shops and restaurant. The site is a great location to explore the Broads and there are many places to visit within a 30 minutes drive.

A aimé Very convenient location for major routes. Open, pleasant site but with good facilities.

N'a pas aimé Only two showers for the whole site. A few more would be useful at busy times. No WiFi which would be useful for planning outings etc.

A aimé Generous size pitches easily marked out with wild flowers which attracted bees and butterflies. The site is clean and tidy with good quality showers and toilets. The owner and his daughter were friendly and helpful. The cafe is great with a chilled atmosphere, great food and drink at reasonable prices.

N'a pas aimé Mirrors would be good over the basins in the toilets. Better signage to the pitches.

A aimé We were practically the only people using the facilities as there weren't many people on the site at the time of our stay, They were clean and well maintained, apparently staff from the barn used them to but it wasn't an issue for us.
Good-sized flat pitch, and plenty of choice of pitches(obviously!)
Good base for exploring the local area.

N'a pas aimé As mentioned by other reviewers, there were only two showers and four toilets. I really wouldn't have wanted to stay if the site had been full.
Absolutely no instructions when arriving at the site, we spoke to the friendly lady in the barn selling wooden items who basically told us to help ourselves, which we did, we didn't see anyone connected to site throughout our stay, no issue I suppose but some local info would have been nice.
We only walked through the barn on our arrival and it looked really good but it appeared closed every day after that.

A aimé The site is set on a beautiful setting, good size pitches, access to water and electric at each pitch, shower blocks were clean with a large pot wash area.
The Barn hosted many different offerings which was lovely to walk around and try the local produce (farm shop/butchers/bakers/treatments/jeweller's/various different stalls )
Didnt try the cafe but heard great things.

NB. I would suggest avoiding pitching closest to the barn as this become very busy and noisy especially on the weekend

N'a pas aimé Arrival instruction would have been helpful, but it was a phone call away and we were greeted with a polite response.

On our last night, a lot of noise from a group in the tepees, music playing and shouting until 0100 - did contact the phone numbers provided but had no response or acknowledgment
