Slumber Barn is situated down a driveway off a quiet lane in the charming Norfolk village of Great Snoring. There is ample parking space in the shingle drive for several cars.
Hot Tub
There is a wonderful wooden hot tub at the property which does not use any chemicals and is completely natural, heated by a wood-burning stove. Please advise at the time of booking if you would like use of this during your stay. (As chemicals are not used, please note that it will require cleaning after 3 to 4 days use for which there would be a supplemental charge of £70).
Cart Shed: has a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The barn is set in grounds of three acres with plenty of space for guests to play, rest or dine. An "inner" courtyard and lawned garden has been created to provide a sunny, sheltered outside space perfect for dining alfresco and providing a safe place for small children to play. The terrace has outside furniture to dine in comfort, with a charcoal barbecue and the advantage of outside speakers.
The substantial grounds to the rear of the barn are grassed and include a ground level trampoline, a football pitch and an outdoor table tennis table, with plenty of space to run around. A pleasant field walk has been created around the grounds - ideal for dog walkers!
Conveniently located within a short drive to the beautiful North Norfolk coast at the traditional fishing town of Wells-next-the-Sea and the renowned beauty of Holkham beach. The market town of Fakenham with a good selection of local shops and supermarkets is only 3 miles away.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome to stay, however we politely request that they do not "do their business" on the inner courtyard lawned area. Please note that while the courtyard is enclosed, the rest of the gardens are not fully dog proof and so dogs would need to be supervised.
Please note that due to the high quality of the fixtures and fittings, the security deposit for Slumber Barn is £500 (rather than the standard £250).

Guest Reviews
Slumber Barn was beautifully furnished, lovely bedding and towels. Very much felt like a hotel. We liked having two outdoor seating areas and the beautiful large kitchen.
