Dairy Barn

"Wonderful secluded location - the perfect place for friends and family to get together"

Set in a secluded countryside location but only 2 miles from the lovely market town of Diss, these superb properties (awarded Green Tourism Business Scheme silver award) are ideally placed for family gatherings or larger group holidays. To make the stay even more relaxing, the owners are able to offer catering and housekeeping options. Each property boasts stunning features including oak timbers, individually decorated rooms, with each bedroom having its own TV and either DVD or video. Outside each property there is a large enclosed decked area with lovely views across the fields, which makes the perfect place for enjoying an al-fresco meal or glass of wine. All properties have large open-plan reception rooms, which create the feeling of space. There is also a large heated indoor swimming pool located in a detached barn within easy walking distance.
For active groups there is karting, the ‘Go Ape’ aerial assault courses, clay pigeon shooting and paintballing locally. For something more relaxing, pamper days can be booked at the Aqua Sana Spa in Elveden Forest or local beauty therapists will make home calls. Ideally placed for exploring East Anglia; the Suffolk Heritage coast and the North Norfolk coast are easily reached. Ideal for families, Monsters Indoor Playcentre, Banham Zoo and Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum are minutes away. Further afield, but definitely worth a visit are Dinosaur Adventure Park, Africa Alive, Ickworth House, Park and Gardens (NT) and Wroxham Barns with its shops, children’s fairground and petting farm. Interesting places include Norwich with its cathedral and castle museum, and Bury St Edmunds - one of the prettiest Georgian towns in Suffolk. Wyken Vineyards has a regular Saturday farmers’ market as well as walks and tours. Another obvious choice for a day out is to take a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads, stopping off to enjoy a quiet drink or leisurely meal at one of the many quaint pubs in the area. Shops 2 miles.
