Black Barn Farm

Kedvelték The whole site is lovely with the showers and toilets in the barn which were kept very clean. We only had a 2 night stay so was very nice having the café there on Sunday morning once we'd packed everything away to go and have a very lovely breakfast.

Kedvelték Friendliness layout of pitches cafe

Kedvelték What can’t we like.
Upon arrival we were meeted and greeted by Trevor the manager. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He said we could take a pick of a pitch and we found a really secluded corner.
The weather was so hot and this kept us in the shade for the dog
Each pitch has its own water tap and ehu.
Washing up facilities were above standard.
It is based within the grounds of a shopping mall and garden centre, which visitors came to every day, and breakfast could be smelled cooking from around 7am, so if you wanted to treat yourself, it’s worth while going there.
Every morning we experienced the morning call of the many different kinds of birds, but we love that kind of thing.
It is in an ideal spot for visiting the Broads and there is a pub half an hours walk and a chip shop and Premier supermarket half an hours walk the other way
The showers and toilets are unisex but that was what we knew before we went. Wasn’t a problem. They are private. And probably the best showers we have had.
All in all, it is worth the money we paid and we had a brilliant time
Will be returning

Nem kedvelték Couldn’t get Wi-Fi, but yet again, we knew this when booking
To be honest, we made conversation with each other more than we do at home.
5 star for that

Kedvelték 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

Kedvelték 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.

Nem kedvelték 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.

Kedvelték 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.

Kedvelték 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.

Nem kedvelték None

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

Nem kedvelték 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.

Kedvelték 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.

Nem kedvelték Mirrors would be good over the basins in the toilets. Better signage to the pitches.

Kedvelték 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.

Nem kedvelték 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.
