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.

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!
