"We have had such a lovely time at Apple Tree Barn. Well presented, clean and cosy. We have really enjoyed our time in Briston and loved exploring the coast. Thanks for providing such a lovely place to stay"
Tamsin & Andrew
We have had a great time in Norfolk and done so much. Brancaster beach is perfect for families. We saw the seals at Blakeney on a boat trip. We enjoyed the Hunworth Bell - excellent food. And so was The Kings Head in Holt. If you have a head for heights then Extreme Adventure was great fun. We have been lucky with the weather but we still would have had great fun!

Lovely barn in a beautiful part of the country. Thank you!
The Bacons
Lovely holiday! The barn is beautiful and just what you need for a relaxing time, away from reality!
The Hepworth Family
Very convenient for exploring the whole of the north Norfolk coast. Pensthorpe is a must - lots to see and do. Blickling is wonderful - spent the whole day there. The barn is lovely.
R & L Wragg
Very nice barn conversion. A peaceful and relaxing holiday. Excellent meal at the Hunworth Bell. Creake Abbey is well worth a visit. Good shops and excellent cafe for lunch.
A & G Brookes
We loved it! Amazing stay. We went out a lot, including to see the fireworks and had so much fun.
Chris, Lisa, Betsy, Hattie & George
Thank you so much! The barn is lovely and we spent a couple of cosy nights in. We loved Holt and all the recommended places to eat -  The Feathers and The King's Head in Holt. Our favourite was the Hunworth Bell in the next village - absolutely amazing. Blakeney, Holkham beach, Burnham Market and Holt town centre are all worth visiting. We look forward to our next visit!

S & M Stanley
We had a super time, fortunate with the weather. Having a 6-year-old, the play area has been a life saver for us. Local people have been great, especially with the tips on where to go and where to eat. Cannot fault the barn - very comfortable and relaxing. Many thanks!

The perfect family getaway - nice, quiet and beautiful surrounding locations such as Wells and Cromer (our favourites). The accommodation was wonderful - would definitely revisit! Loved every minute!
The Day Family
We have had an absolutely brilliant stay here. The sunsets have been amazing (even after two rainy days) - and so much to see and do.
Definitely returning here, thank you!
