Waveney Valley Barn

Waveney Valley Barn couldn’t be more dreamily positioned for a relaxing holiday. Secluded amongst two peaceful acres of Norfolk countryside that border Suffolk and overlook its beautiful namesake valley, your cares will drift away as if by magic.

Welcoming owners Caroline and Hannah fell in love with the then-dilapidated barn almost a decade ago, and immediately set about transforming it into the exquisitely-styled rustic haven you’ll discover today. Filled with luxurious attention to detail, you’ll never want to leave!

For starters, you’ll be greeted with a hamper packed with award-winning local produce, plus tea and fresh-ground coffee to help get your holiday off to a delicious start.

Where you’ll savour your treats is completely up to you. There’s a dining table and comfy chairs under the barn’s soaring beamed ceiling, or take a seat on your private garden patio for a soundtrack of nature and a side-helping of those incredible valley views.

Inside, well-chosen art and eye-catching wallpaper combine with butter-soft furnishings and sleek appliances… with more than a few indulgences thrown in! The gleaming, William Holland-designed copper bathtub is one: all ready to be filled with scented bubbles after a long day exploring the local area.

Refreshed and revived, it’s time for a glass of wine before supper cooked in the well-equipped kitchen, or out on the barbecue. Keep the firepit glowing as you relax in sustainable, comfy Ecofurn chairs and get lost in deep conversation as the stars come out to play.

When it’s finally time to turn in, a gorgeous kingsize bed will be waiting to help you drift easily into a sound night’s sleep. There’s a sofa bed in the living space to accommodate up to two extra guests.

More information

If you can bear it, set an early alarm and be rewarded with the most spectacular sunrise, along with a morning chorus of birdsong that’s so captivating, previous guests have recorded it to listen to at home!

There’s no telling whom you might meet during your stay, since Caroline and Hannah have cultivated their land to attract plenty of diverse wildlife. So along with ducks, swans, barn owls and goldfinch, you might catch sight of grazing muntjac deer and wandering pheasants.

Oh, and you could also arrange to meet the resident chickens, along with Annie and Minnie the sheep… who give the best cuddles!

What else? Unleash your creativity with a private painting tuition session, led by a local artist, or open a good book in the garden, treat yourselves to an in-barn holistic massage or Reiki therapy, go canoeing on the shimmering River Waveney, or relax in a wood-fired sauna cabin on the riverbank (guests receive £10 off a Secret Sauna experience and 10% off water activities).

You could also head further afield to explore the local beaches or wander the towns and cities to sample even more tempting local produce. If, of course, you can tear yourselves away from Waveney Valley Barn’s heavenly confines.
