Wheatacre Hall Barns

These award-winning self-catering barns, sleeping two, six or seven, plus extra accommodation for children in some, have been created from the sympathetic conversion of the splendid original Norfolk cart shed barns and a granary. The accommodation retains handsome period features, including fine old beams and high vaulted ceilings; the living areas are spacious and there is modern comfort and luxury throughout. The two latest conversions provide a perfect retreat for couples.

The five star Gold Award barns are near the owner’s lovely old farm house, and each has its own private sitting out area and access to the farm grounds for coarse fishing and farm walks, cycling and bird watching. Added treats include a shared hot tub, a games room and fitness barn and a soft play barn for children.

The family-owned farm consists of over one thousand acres, and has a pedigree milking herd and free range laying hens. It borders the River Waveney, with access to this through the low-lying marshland of a particularly attractive part of South Norfolk.

Boats can be hired at the Waveney River Centre at Burgh St Peter just two miles away, which has a pub and covered swimming pool which is free for Wheatacre Hall guests. A little further, the pretty riverside town of Beccles has an attractive marina and a range of cafés, pubs and restaurants.

The award-winning Suffolk coastline, with the celebrated resort of Southwold and quaint coastal villages, is about half an hour away. It is also just a short drive to the cathedral city of Norwich, which offers an enchanting mix of medieval treasures and great shopping and dining.
