3 Bedroom Apartment in Irstead, Happisburgh

Our beautiful Manor Barn is a 450 year old thatched barn, sympathetically renovated in 2019 and very well designed with the comfort of both humans and dogs in mind. It is surrounded by livestock free open countryside.
ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE:
Sitting Room
Large and lovely beamed sitting room with a high ceiling; you can really get the feel of it being a converted barn. There are two comfy sofas with plenty of throws provided in the coffee table chest. The TV is a Smart one and there are alternatives to the tv in the cupboard which is full of games, books, walking maps and information about local attractions. Link your phone and play your own music on the Roberts iStream 3 radio. This room is the hub of the barn with all rooms leading off here. Off this is the…
Boot room
A spacious boot/utility room with plenty of hanging space for coats and dog leads. Plus plenty of floor space for boots, dog beds and crates. There is cupboard storage along with a large Belfast sink and washing machine. All very practical and well presented.
Downstairs Shower room
Off the boot room is the shower room and WC. The shower has a folding door and low level shower tray. There is an electric towel radiator here, ideal for drying off towels in the warmer month. Through from the Boot Room is the…
Kitchen/dining room
A fully-fitted, well equipped and beautifully laid out large kitchen with direct access to the stable yard, via two steps. There is a large induction Stoves range cooker, slow cooker, Nespresso coffee machine (you’ll need to provide your own pods) microwave, integrated undercounter fridge, freezer and dishwasher. There is further freezer space in the tack room for raw feeders if needed. The antique butchers table and decorative pieces all nod to the barn’s history as a working farm building. The oak dining table can extend to seat 12 and makes a very social space. The kitchen is accessed from the boot room via an open doorway – tall, moveable dog gates are provided to help separate these two areas should this be needed.
Downstairs bedroom
This beautiful room can be made up as a super king or twin room using a zip & link bed – comfy mattress toppers are provided for when the room is set up for either bed combination. Storage is in a small wardrobe, two large bedside tables and peg rails with plenty of hangers. This room also has direct access to the stable yard which is helpful for anyone (2 or 4 legged) who may be a little unsteady on their feet or want to wander outside during the night without disturbing the others. Both the upstairs bedrooms have individual staircases so, back into the living room to climb the stairs to …
En-Suite King size bedroom
Facing west, this room has a king size upholstered bed, small chest of drawers, bedside table and peg shelf and hangers. Direct access to a small, beamed ensuite bathroom with full sized roll top bath with mixer shower taps, basin and cupboard underneath and WC. There is a centrally heated towel radiator and peg rail. And again, up the separate set of stairs from the living room to…
En-Suite Double bedroom
Facing east, this bedroom has a traditional metal double bedstead, large chest of drawers, bedside tables and peg shelf and hangers. This room has direct access to its own ensuite bathroom with full sized roll top bath and shower mixer taps, WC and a basin with a cupboard underneath. A centrally heated towel rail and peg rail complete the bathroom.
ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:
When you arrive
Manor Barn is approached through the 5 bar gate for Manor Farm House, (which is the 3 storey house on the left as you look over the gate) with private parking for up to 3 cars.
Stable yard
You can get to stable yard from the driveway and from the kitchen and downstairs bedroom, making it very easy to access and flexible. The yard is fully enclosed with farm gates backed with stock mesh for extra security for your dogs. Sit yourselves down on the teak garden furniture – bench, armchairs and coffee table – or climb up into the hammock! One of the stables has additional storage for dog crates, bicycles, etc and access to a small chest freezer, ideal for raw food. There is an additional large fridge too. A hose is also provided to wash down your dogs (those sandy paws!) if needed. The stable yard is 8m X 17m (all concrete surface, not including the Cart shed).
Cart Shed
There is a covered space under the cart shed with antique comfy day bed, dining table and elm benches. Lit by solar powered festoon and fairy lights this has become a favourite spot to relax whatever the weather.
Orchard garden
Just a few steps through the lower stable yard gate is a small grassed orchard garden. Fully enclosed by high flint walls and picket fencing, this is a year-round sun trap and the perfect spot to relax in on fair days. The orchard is roughly 11m x 14m (this is just the lawned section, not including the hard standing inside the fenced in area)

Summary: We had a lovely relaxing time at manor barn. There were four adults including my 90 year old mum and my disabled sister plus a mix of 8 dogs . The whole barn was extremely well equipped to suit the needs of all. The all access dog areas were fab and all of our dogs appreciated them. It was extremely hot so we spent a lovely two days not moving but that was fine. We even took our panther chameleon karma who had a very happy week

Summary: Beautiful barn, the exterior & interior took your breath away. Pictures do not do it justice. Felt at home immediately. Was comfortable, cosy & so quiet. Humans & dogs were catered for perfectly. So grateful for the ground floor bedroom due to my tripod lurcher. He needs to go out in the night so I could hear him asking. All towns & beaches close by so perfect location. Welcome goodies were gorgeous & thanks for birthday bubbles . Best place we have stayed & are coming back.

Summary: We'd had a 7 hour journey to get to Manor Barn (almost twice as long as Google promised) so we were quite tired when we arrived. However, we totally forgot all of that almost instantly and felt both at home and welcomed by our hosts due to the attention to detail and the amazing welcome basket. Our dog also settled very quickly and we used one of the available crates for her bed so it was just like home for her. I'm certain she loved the big bag of treats that were just for her as she took to sitting near them and asking for more!! Both the yard and the garden were ideal for her to feel both at home and play safely. Her first trip round the garden perimeter was a relief as I could see there was no way she could escape!! We loved not having to drive anywhere for the first few days as the walks to the local beaches, lighthouse and water tower were just perfect. The hedgerows were in full bloom and paths were a delight to walk along. We also ventured a bit further and enjoyed visiting and learning about the wildlife and history of "the broads" which were very close. I loved the slow mornings we chose for ourselves and spent almost all of them sat in early morning sun in the yard with a cup of tea, listening to the birds. It was so quiet there was little else to hear apart from the odd bee and occasional fighter jet. The peace was perfect. The good thing about the yard was it also got the sun in the evening and so the tea got swapped for a glass of wine!! We mostly dined at home and the fully equipped kitchen made that so easy. The bonus of Netflix meant my crochet stayed in it's bag as we enjoyed watching a film (whilst we munched on our welcome pack biscuits and cakes) to round the evening off. By the end of the week we were all much more relaxed and our aches and pains had eased up by the walking and chilling! We would love to return regularly but, unfortunately for us, might need to psych ourselves up a little for the journey beforehand. PS Driving home we agreed we should get new towels and bedding because we loved the quality of the one's at Manor Barn so much!!

Summary: My second visit to Manor Barn and from the communication prior to arrival to the care and attention during my stay everything is spot on. The dog adore the space both inside and out and it is ideally placed for long walks down winding lanes, across fields and to the beach at Happisburgh. I could go on but really this cottage has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing and luxuriously comfortable holiday in a great location and with discreet but available hosts. Perfect for my boisterous team of dogs and perfect for me.

Summary: Our second stay here and it was faultless. We love Manor Farm Barn for the attention to detail. There’s a very secure courtyard where I can let my dog out each morning and a beautiful orchard. The furniture is very comfortable and what I’d buy for my home along with the crockery and kitchen goods. Oh and the downstairs shower, I needed to be persuaded to leave with breakfast! What I love most is that it’s all good quality items. There isn’t anything that feels like an afterthought or a bit tatty, it’s invested in and therefore so are the guests.

Summary: We visited Manor Barn with my wife, 3 month old son, mother and 4 dogs for 1 week. The owners were fantastic with communication before and during the stay and the Barn is fantastic. Being so quiet and set back from the road was fantastic for us as one of our dogs is reactive to cars and people. The folder of information provided is very well put together answering any questions you could have and providing lots of recommendations. We loved our morning walks on the beach, lazy afternoons in the barn and a few meals out locally. We’ll definitely be back.

Summary: We had the best weekend away at Manor Barn, 3 female friends and 2 medium sized dogs. Everything about Manor Barn is just WOW, beautifully decorated in a neutral palette with a relaxed feel, quality furnishings in every room, everything you need is there somewhere for humans and dogs, with plenty of space for everyone inside and out. 2 interlinked, secure, private outdoor spaces with direct access from the barn, huge kitchen so several people can prep and cook together and no shortage of seating in the living room for lounging around. It was bitterly cold weather when we were there but the Barn was always warm and toasty, we had to turn the heating down in the evening when the fire was lit. It's a 15-20 mins walk to the lovely local beach and the pub, with many other sights and beaches an easy drive away, the weekend really wasn't long enough and I'd love to go back for longer in warmer weather to fully utilise the beautiful outdoor spaces too.

Summary: Manor Farm Barn was the latest in many stays with East Ruston Cottages and didn’t disappoint. It’s furnished to 5* hotel standard with comfortable beds and attention to detail for the humans and dogs, but spotlessly clean. The garden is secure for most dogs, we don’t spend too much time there due to the weather but could see it was a much cared for space with roses and apple trees, I’m sure it’ll be gorgeous in spring. We briefly met the lovely owners who live next door but they were not at all intrusive and we were left to ourselves and made very welcome. It isn’t the cheapest property but with under occupancy rates and a repeat discount became affordable for us two and our dog. Thank you for a relaxing and much needed break.

Summary: Manor Barn is a beautiful property sleeping up to 6 people. We were just two adults and two large dogs so just used the ground floor during our stay. Everything we could need was provided with an excellently equipped kitchen, plenty of logs and kindling for the log burner, and a fab welcome basket of local produce. The garden and courtyard were secure and ideal for our two large reactive dogs, who settled in well. Very dog friendly place and we’d love to return in warmer weather to enjoy the outside space more.

Summary: On our recent stay at Manor barn we had a lovely time with all the family & 2 dogs. Everything was very clean & well equipped. Lots of lovely walks & beaches to die for, all fairly close. Would love to return in the summer to enable use of the outdoor seating & facilities.
