About this property

Swallows Nest Suite @ The Dairy Barns

Swallows Nest really is something special with a fabulous upstairs bedroom on a open plan gallery where you can lay in your super king sized bed looking up to the stars which really sparkle in our rural part of Norfolk. Downstairs there is a spacious lounge with comfy sofa and flat screen TV/DVD player. You’ll love the stylish, convenient and easy-to-use Nespresso coffee machine – we think it produces an almost perfect cup of coffee! You have your own front door for complete privacy and a private court yard garden. In the room there is a fridge and glasses in case you want to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne. As an extra treat If you would like to have breakfast in your room we will happily bring a full English breakfast or homemade waffles to your door for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own lounge or maybe outside in the early morning sunshine on the deck in your own little garden. The extra special treat in Swallows nest is the bathroom, which is anything but average with a large sunken bath for two if you are feeling romantic, or for one with lots of bubbles, a good book and glass of wine! There is also a separate powerful shower. With his and hers sinks, luxury toiletries and soft fluffy towels and robes, it really is bathroom heaven.
Based down a quiet country lane with views across farm land to the sea the Dairy Barns is a purpose designed red brick barn conversation locatated on our family farm with a selection of 6 lovely rooms and 3 extra special rooms with a stunning main breakfast barn and coastal themed lounge. Take a closer look….

Our 6 rooms, all on the ground floor – Dahlia, Norfolk Lavender, Red Poppy, Sunrise, Seaside and King fisher – each beautifully colour-themed. They are very comfortable, spacious, well-equipped, and all come with those important little finishing touches such as homemade cake and fresh milk on arrival, toiletries,delightful fresh flowers and of course television and well stocked hot drinks tray. They all en-suite with shower cubicle and luxury towels and have wonderfully comfy twin or super king size beds with crisp linen and cosy, pretty duvets. We often host large family groups and several of our rooms can also accommodate children.

Take a look at our Extra Special Rooms for that extra hint of luxury and additional space – perfect for that special occasion or if you just want to treat yourselves! Each is completely self-contained with a lounge area with TV, comfy sofa and dining table, luxury bathroom with fluffy towels, robes and luxury toiletries provided and all have super king size bed and each has doors leading onto their own private courtyard garden.

All have their own front door for complete privacy and are very special places to stay. All have a kettle so you can make a cup of tea or hot chocolate, Nespresso Machine and of course a fridge and glasses in case you want to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne. We can even bring you breakfast in bed.

For guests with limited mobility or wheelchair users, Kingfisher is ideal, with wider doorways and a large wet room style en-suite with shower seat. However, if you have specific needs please don’t hesitate to contact us.

A relaxing few days in a beautiful location.

We visited Swallow's Nest for 3 nights in mid-July and would highly recommend it. A perfect location from which to explore the Broads; just a short walk from the sea & a 10 min drive took us to a beach where we watched a family of seals playing in the waves. Dairy Barns was very welcoming and served an excellent breakfast. The room was well-appointed, with a comfy bed on the mezzanine, and a large bathroom. It was our first visit to Norfolk and we were not disappointed.

Fabulous relaxing stay, really looked after us (as usual).

Nothing was too much trouble for Hannah, Ian and their team. The room was impeccable and very clean (cleaned each day), breakfasts were great, and the internet speed (given it is in the wilds of Norfolk) very acceptable. Helicopter parking was great! We rented bikes from Broadland Cycle Hire who were also very accommodating. Thoroughly recommended as a way to travel around if you don't have a car with you!

Wow! What an amazing place to stay!

We stayed for two nights in the Swallows nest special room, the bed was huge, we had our own private garden which was full of butterflies, we were also lucky enough to see bats flying about in the evening, breakfast was bought to our room, which was delicious and plentiful, it’s near enough to the coast if you want to walk.
