Located in the Norfolk Broads National Park with easy access to many Broads villages, Norwich city, the beautiful North Norfolk coastline and many local attractions, Cotenham Barn makes the perfect base for a short break or longer holiday all year through. Set in 3 acres of gardens with a large pond and woodland, Cotenham Barn is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the countryside. The garden itself offers many places to sit and watch the nature. there is a footpath leading from the garden across fields or country lanes to Ranworth village. Cotenham Barn offers a variety of accommodation types to suit most tastes and welcomes couples, families and larger groups across the site. With traditional Bed and Breakfast rooms in the main barn as well as holiday cottages, all buildings were originally farm buildings which have been lovingly converted by the owners to provide a peaceful and unique environment. Free on site parking and Wifi. Hot tub access available to our Garden Cottage and Long Barn only.
Cotenham Barn is owned by Jill and Phil Wakley where they run a Bed and Breakfast and Holiday cottage business. The property was pretty much derelict when the previous owner bought it in 1985 and completely transformed what were essentially barns for animals and storage of farm machinery into, initially, a furniture workshop and show room and later a family home. The gardens, pond and wood cover 3 acres in total. We moved here in 2012 with a view to further develop the property to cater for tourism. Thank you for taking the time to read about us and our endeavours at Cotenham Barn. We both have a nursing backgrounds Paediatric and Psychiatry respectively, Phil also served in the RAF. We are now kept busy making further developments as well as maintaining the buildings and garden. We feel that we possess many of the skills required to look after our guests and it is our sincere aim to do all we can to ensure that each and every guest has an enjoyable experience that they will remember for all the right reasons. We look forward to welcoming you.
