Local Area
Situated in the heart of Norfolk, North Farm is a great base to explore the Norfolk broads, North Norfolk Coast and city of Norwich – all a short drive away.
Guests are welcome to explore the farm and meadows during their stay. Two resident artists work on the farm (a potter and stone-carver) and there are also many walks and opportunities for fishing, bird watching and canoeing from the farm.
The nearest supermarket is in Aylsham, a lovely market town which also has a collection of independent shops and food producers. There are lots of lovely pubs, restaurants and cafes locally and recommendations are on our website and in our welcome information in the cottage.
Facilities
Kingfisher and Barn Owl Cottages are two lovely barn conversions, each sleeping four people. They can be rented separately or together and are all on one-level, making them very suitable for those with mobility problems.
The cottages have been converted to a high standard and are well-equipped, from the kitchens to the book collections! Each has a well equipped kitchen-diner, sitting room with home entertainment system, double bedroom, twin bedroom, bathroom and separate WC. All towels and linen are provided along with a substantial welcome pack and wi-fi is available throughout the property.
Each cottage has a private enclosed garden and the farm is situated in open country which guests are welcome to explore. On the farm, there is a games room and birdwatching hide as well as many beautiful places to relax.
To make travelling easier for families, a wide range of equipment from travel cots to ride-on tractors, bedguards to bumbos can be provided free of charge.
For an alternative break, the hand-made Shepherd’s Hut is located on the water-meadow, providing a tranquil retreat from the pressures of modern living. Equipped with a woodstove, outdoor fire-pit and wood supplied from coppicing on the farm, the site is shared with the resident barn owls and kestrels. Guests have exclusive use of a newly refurbished bathroom and kitchen area in a converted barn nearby. For a larger family stay, this can be rented alongside the cottages.
All guests are welcome to play in the on-site games room, feed the chickens and explore the water meadows as well as visiting the artists’ studios which operate from converted outbuildings on the farm.
