Cottage Stay Hayloft

All of our family stayed in the Spixworth Cottages for our wedding which we had in the barns. My family who stayed in the Hayloft said it was very clean and tidy, set out well with everything you needed. A nice touch was added on arrival with all condiments for our stay. We would definitely recommend staying here again

Last week off before school!

We have stayed at the cottages before so already knew that the grounds, facilities and customer service would be excellent. We hadn't seen the Hayloft before though and were very pleasantly surprised. The layout and views were amazing. We'll definitely be back!

Countryside close to City

Charming, comfortable, close to Norwich City but seems a million miles away. Our grandkids love the games barn!

Hot week in Norfolk.

The Hayloft has spacious accommodation and we all had a good time. The kids love using the pool, swings and games areas, so they were kept busy. It was very hot during our stay and the owners brought extra fans to help keep the rooms cool at night.

Home from home

Beautiful cottages and something for all age groups to do on site. Hired 4 cottages for my partners 50th so all 26 members of the family could share his special day. Staff were lovely and helped with any needs we had. Would definitely recommend

A great place to stay for exploring Norwich and Norfolk with children.

We stayed for a week as a family of four. Located north of Norwich, Spixworth Hall is set in quiet countryside as well being close to Norwich. The Hayloft was very spacious for four and well equipped. Some appliances were slightly worn but totally functional. Great games barn for the children with spacious parking. Value for money will definitely be hard to beat. Easy recommendation for families with children! With two P&R nearby, Norwich is easy to reach and North Norfolk and the Broads are close at hand for day trips. Many attractions within 30min by car.

Family wedding

Stayed at spixworth cottages for a family wedding so I can't comment on the surrounding areas but I would definitely recommend for a relaxing weekend away with family & friends. The cottages are lovely & well equipped & different sizes available to suit different size groups. There is lovely walks around the farm, children's play area & also a heated pool, which is a real bonus & the kids loved. It's all self catering but a pub & shops in walking distance.

Great place to stay and tour around from.

The property in its total is vast making it ideal for famalies and groups. There are lots of facilities including 2 barns with games galore, childrens playground; a beautifully set, outdoor, heated swimming pool, ponds, fishing, walks and the horses that are stabled there all making for an interesting stay. The apartment itself was very spacious with very well equipped kitchen; not just 6 of everything by any means. Beds large and comfortable and lovely clean bathrooms. Set in tranquil surroundings with a bery helpful and friendly host. We would definitely recommend and visit again. all

Family Gathering

We had a fabulous family get together at Spixworth Cottages. The Hayloft was the perfect location for us all to meet at various points during the weekend, as the open plan living area easily accommodated a large group of 20. We were able to combine the tables so that we could all sit down and share a roast dinner together too. The cottage was a lovely space, which was clean and well stocked with crockery/cooking equipment. It had a lovely home from home feel with lovely views.

Excellent accommodation

This is the fourth time we have started here. The hayloft is great value for money and is our favourite cottage. It has everything you need for a relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. Our only complaint is that it does not allow service dogs which is very disappointing. Great communication with staff and they really ensure you have everything you need. I cannot fault the level of customer service. Will be returning next year to this great location.

A great get together & family holiday!

We were a party of 15 this time renting 3 cottages (this one plus Swallows & Stables) which all exclusively shared the walled garden, This was absolutely perfect as we had a dog and a 2 year old - neither of which we wanted to escape! The barn & the outdoor pool were well used by our group and a few ventured to the hard tennis courts too! Various beaches are 35 - 45 minutes drive away so the fine weather meant we did some exploring too. Another great time had by all ....making memories! - A BIG thank you to Sheelah, Jack & Kim!

Lovely with a huge lounge and dining area

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and Jack and Sheila were fantastic hosts, catering for all our needs and requests. The whole site, with the games room barn was great. We used the barn for line dancing which was ideal. We had 37 in the lounge/ dining area for a Buffett and Quiz night with plenty of room.
