Field Barn House and Cottage Ringstead
Sleeps 13, from £1305 to £2570 per week
Field Barn House and Cottage is a bohemian 5 bedroom barn conversion with a separate 2 bedroom cottage set in extensive grounds in an idyllic peaceful location, with uninterrupted rural views, yet within walking distance of the lovely village of Ringstead with a village shop and pub. As the family holiday home of a renowned sculptor, the barn is rustically furnished with a wealth of original features, providing "no-frills" accommodation. It has plenty of space for families and friends with a stunning central vaulted sitting room, rustic country kitchen with an Aga, leading through into a dining area, plus a relaxed TV room. Outside there’s a large walled garden with terrace, plus a huge field which is ideal for ball-games. With no near neighbours, this is the ideal “get away from it all” place to stay, yet only 5 minutes drive to the beautiful coast at Thornham or Holme-next-the-Sea.
Please note that outside peak periods, the main barn (sleeping 9) and the cottage (sleeping 4) may be rented separately.

Guest Reviews
Had another wonderful holiday here. We just love it, the atmosphere, the wildlife, the setting. It was our 3rd stay. This house is definitely ‘bohemian’ which is why we love it

Ringstead
Location
An attractive village approximately 2 miles inland from Holme with pink and white-washed cottages built in traditional Norfolk carrstone. A rare Norman round tower, all that survives of St. Peter's church, stands in the grounds of the former rectory.
A good village for walkers with access onto the Peddars Way, the Courtyard Farm walks and also the lovely Ringstead Downs nature reserve. Ringstead has an excellent village shop stocking a wide range of products and there is an excellent 17th original coaching inn, The Gin Trap, which serves delicious food and great wines and beers, as well as a fantastic selection of different gins!
