Highly recommended - we would definitely stay there again! Absolutely beautiful! This place is a true hidden gem. The location was fantastic, the breakfast was amazing, and the room exceeded our expectations. The couple who run Decoy Barn were incredibly welcoming and could not have done more for us. They were exceptionally helpful and made our stay even more special.

Beautiful property in a lovely quiet area. Everything you need in the clean and tidy room and a great base for exploring. Fans available during the warm weather, a lovely table and chairs with umbrella to sit out at on an evening. The breakfast for £9 was excellent nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. Parking brilliant and was lovely to see Buddy the dog pottering around with his ball. Thank you for having us.

Always enjoy my stay at Decoy Barn

I've stayed at Decoy Barn a couple of times now and always enjoyed my stay there. The rooms are lovely, spotlessly clean and very quiet - both times I've stayed I've slept well, which I hardly ever do when I am away from home. John and Suzanne are great hosts and I always feel very welcome when I stay at Decoy Barn. The off-street parking is really good too - plenty of spaces and very secure.

You can always tell when someone takes pride in their work. We had a relaxing two night stay, and wanted for nothing. When the reviews are so good, not sure if it is just me, but I was looking for the one thing that was not provided or could be improved. (Not to knock a point off, but just because lol). Everything was provided that I would want and was very clean. The award winning breakfast was very good and my vegan wife catered for. Each room overlooks the well tended garden and has a table and chairs. The host and hostess are very welcoming. This is a gem of a property.

We had an amazing 2 nights stay hosted by John and partner in Decoy Barn. Hosts were very welcoming. John helped us with his knowledgeable tips and observations on visiting places of interest in Norfolk. Breakfast was excellent. Garden with it's vibrant colours were a joy to the eyes. Room was comfortable and clean ensuring adequate privacy. Will recommend to anyone going there.

Relaxing get away

Decoy Barn & its hosts were absolutely delightful, our hosts were welcoming and friendly. The two bedroom suite we stayed in was comfortable, clean, very well equipped. The garden that our room looked out onto was immaculately kept, lovely area to sit and relax. We had breakfast one morning and this was delicious, nothing was too much from our hosts. Thank you John & Suzanne for a lovely relaxed stay at your B & B, we’d definitely recommend and most definitely stay again 🙂
