Norfolk is one of England's best counties for a weekend away — quieter than the Cotswolds, cheaper than the Lake District, and with its own distinctive character. Church Farm Barns in Lingwood puts you between Norwich and the Norfolk Broads for a weekend that can be as active or as relaxed as you want.
A Friday-to-Sunday Itinerary
Arrive Friday evening and settle into your room or barn. Saturday: hire a boat at Brundall, walk at Strumpshaw Fen, or take the train into Norwich for the cathedral, castle, and lanes. Sunday: a slower start — the communal hot tub, a walk along the Wherryman's Way, or a drive to the coast at Sea Palling or Winterton.
For Couples
Our double room provides a quiet retreat for two. The property is peaceful, the countryside is beautiful, and Norwich offers restaurants, galleries, and theatre for an evening out. The hot tub under Norfolk skies makes a good end to the day.
For Friends
Book a barn and share the cost. A 2-bedroom barn sleeping 4 works out very affordably between two or three couples. Cook together, explore together, and enjoy the space of a private apartment rather than separate hotel rooms.
Dogs Welcome
Bring your dog. Walk from the door. The Norfolk coast has dog-friendly beaches year-round. Pubs in the area welcome dogs. It is one of the easiest counties in England for a weekend away with a pet.
