Field Barn House Ringstead
Sleeps 9, from £980 to £1500 per week
Field Barn House is a bohemian five bedroom barn conversion 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 and includes some fantastic pieces of art, 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 charming 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 ideal for those looking for a relaxed ”get away from it all” place to stay, yet only 5 minutes drive to the beautiful coast at Thornham or Holme-next-the-Sea.
During school holiday periods Field Barn House may only be rented in conjunction with the adjacent Field Barn Cottage (sleeping four guests) - please refer to separate website entry

Guest Reviews
We loved the barn, we plan to come back next year, great location, stunning property so much room and the perfect chill out.
Stef - 12/10/2018
The property looks much more impactful in person than on the photos. Lovely pictures in the living room. The aga was handy. Great location. Walking distance to Thornham and the Gin Trap! Liked the large living room, big kitchen, good quality kitchen knives, the courtyard garden, the location and that dogs are allowed. Lovely house and cottage, great location

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!
