The pebble and sand beach is ideal for dog walking (no restrictions at any time of year). Kelling village has a tea room and is also close to Holt and Salthouse with great pubs/restaurants and only short drives from more beaches in Wells, Holkham and Cromer. The Beach Barn (Croft Farm Barn) is all on one level so easy access throughout, with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams and other original features found in Norfolk brick & flint buildings. Underfloor heating throughout the barn and french doors all around fill the barn with warmth and light.

Please keep the garden tidy of dog mess (bag it up and put in the black bin).

Available on messages or on phone during your stay if you wish (we are just 1h50 away in Cambridge) Our Beach Barn (Croft Farm Barn) is in the quiet Kelling village and is just a short 15 minute walk along a beautiful footpath to our local pebble (and sand at low tide, see photos) beach. The footpath winds through a wetlands reserve famed for it’s bird spotting, the beach is very quiet and a bit of a local secret as no parking area for non-locals to access. So sssshhhhh!!! The beach is ideal for beach strolls and dog walking (no dog restrictions any time of year). Kelling village has it’s own tea room/gallery and the restaurant/bar The Pheasant is a short walk away. The barn is also close to the very chic Holt and Salthouse villages with great pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways. The barn is also only short drives from more sandy beaches in the seaside towns of Wells, Holkham, Brancaster and Cromer. The barn in Kelling is away from the Norfolk coast road and on a quieter road, which is hugely valuable during peak summer periods. Holt, the Georgian market town is only a few miles away and has lots of independent shops including bakers, butchers, grocers and chic gift and clothes shops. Plus has a pharmacy, banks and a post office. Salthouse and Cley-Next-The-Sea are very close by (a short drive or cycle away) with their famous reserves for birdwatching on the nearby salt marshes. Blakeney is 10 minutes drive away for crabbing in the harbour and boat trips to view the seals and migrating/wading birds out at Blakeney Point. Just a short drive away (5 minutes) you can also ride a heritage steam train on the North Norfolk railway line from the seaside town of Sheringham to Holt (the ‘Poppy line’), travelling along the coast and through heathland. Lots of National Trust sites nearby to visit, including Sherringham Park and Felbrigg Hall. The barn has off road parking for two cars. Closest train station is Sheringham 4 miles away in a taxi, that station connects with Norwich and its direct trains to/from London. The barn is also just a 2 minute walk to the bus stop with the much famed coasthopper bus service that visits all the villages along the coast road where you can hop on and off. Often an ideal option when the coastal beaches and parking gets busy in peak summer. You can also hire bikes from the nearby holiday park at Kelling Heath (they deliver/collect).

The only step is to get in/out of the property.
