Thank you so much for your lovely comments - we really do our best! I'm so pleased storm had a lovely time - the walled garden and the meadow are ideal for dogs!

Beautiful...

Just got back from an amazing stay in the Barn, Peter was great at communicating with us and provided lots of information to ensure we had the best stay. I can definitely see how the property has been awarded with 5 stars, it fully deserves it! Location is great, not too far from Wells beach and plenty of places for dog walking! We will look forward to returning!

Everything was great, with exception to loss of internet and the washing machine not working.We were fortunate that the barn next door was empty, so we could use that, but had it not been, I am not sure what would have been done.Communication between Erica and then Peter was a bit stalled at times, but once they were aware of an issue, things were put in place quite quickly.Thank you.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. The washing machine, alas, was not repairable so a shiny new one has now been installed - lovely AO couldn't do a quicker delivery! I'm sorry about the internet - I'm afraid that's the occasional price of living in such a lovely rural setting. However, all is restored to full working order! We look forward to your next visit.

North Norfolk coast hub

We took this property to explore the North Norfolk coast, and it worked very well. The location was quiet and accommodation well appointed. Helpful owner, who was always generous with their time to assist with queries. The WiFi speed was relatively slow owing to rural location. It was ok for general web browsing, but more difficult to stream TV or movies. Not a deal-breaker for us owing to beautiful surroundings. Fakenham is very easy to reach for supermarket. A great trip.

Dear Jason, Thanks so much for your kind comments - much appreciated. I have checked the internet this morning and the speeds we are getting are 35Mbps down and 7.5Mbps up so this must have been a temporary 'thing'. I'm pleased it didn't inconvenience you too much. We'd love to have you back again one day. With all best wishes, Peter.

Beautiful property. Lovely location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It was lovely and warm. Disappointed that there wasn't any Christmas touches. There wasn't any instructions for any of the appliances. Being a bit older, we had trouble trying to work out how to light the gas fire, turn on the beautiful cooker and use the coffee machine. A booklet with instructions would have helped. I am did send an email but didn't receive a response. Arriving in the dark, a lit sign would have helped us find the property in the fog. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this lovely property

Hi Deborah. First of all, I'm sorry that there were no instructions. We were told to remove them during the pandemic and I think now is probably the time to put them back! We do put up Christmas decorations - but at Christmas time. I know that TV advertising wants you to believe that Christmas starts in October, but we're a bit old fashioned in this part of the world - it's still only Advent! :-) I hope we'll see you back again one day. Best, Peter.

Wonderful break - Sept 22

Just returned from a wonderful stay at the Lodge. Great communication throughout & the property was just as described. The Gin welcome back was fabulous and so tasty, I will definitely be ordering in the future. We explored the local beaches, approx 20/25 minute drive. It was lovely to retreat back to the Lodge & enjoy the garden in the late afternoon with a G&T. Highly recommend this property.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay! The TV is a 50' panasonic flat screen so whilst not in the first flush of youth, it's still a good piece of kit. Netflix is run from a BluRay player connected to the internet via wireless. If anything is slow it will be that. Best, Peter.

Wonderful!

Our 2nd stay at Brazenhall Lodge. It’s a wonderful, quiet base in a peaceful location & easy to get to the coast. Really dog friendly & extremely comfortable & well equipped. We had a small issue which Peter quickly deal with. All in all we had another lovely week in the Lodge in beautiful sunny Norfolk.

Quiet Weekend Away

The property is in a really nice location, there isn’t much around but we found a really nice restaurant called the aviator about 5 minutes up the road, the only thing I could say would make the lodge outstanding would be a hot tub but that’s my personal preference

Great place set in a rural setting, kitted out well with everything we needed. Fantastic bedrooms with beautiful en-suites and luxurious toiletries. The gin and tonics were an added bonus and was enjoyed by everyone. The lodge was kitted to high spec and had ample crockery, glassware, pots and pans etc. Brilliant time had by all... Thank you.

A nice break away

We have just returned from a lovely 5 day stay in Norfolk. The lodge was in a perfect location for us and overall offered excellent accommodation. We have just a few little niggles that unfortunately dropped it below 5*. Due to Covid we could not check in until 5pm on our day of arrival and had to leave by 9:30am on our last day. This meant our 5 day break was more like 3 days. We appreciate that additional cleaning is required however this should not be at our expense and, with the size of the property, a 7.5 hour turnaround seems unnecessary. The bins in the kitchen do not have lids which was a problem given the number of flies and wasps at this time of year. The smell was also unpleasant. We emptied the bins every day even though they were nowhere near full. The TV in the lounge is very intermittent and the signal was often very poor and the gas fire was unfortunately broken. Just a few niggles and we would definitely return to stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Nov, 2020
Hi Hayley, and thanks for the review. I'm afraid the turnaround time on cleaning is forced upon us as once disinfectant is applied, we have to wait for it to dry before we can then wipe down. We also have two barns to do - not one. In the old days we could manage with 2-3 cleaners over six hours. Now we have 6, sometimes 7 cleaners and it just takes even longer. I'm sorry about this but our hands are really tied on this. Things like the bin lids and the TV need to be reported to us at the earliest opportunity. We could have fixed both, but didn't know about them until after your stay. We are waiting on spare parts for the gas fire. I'm pleased you had a lovely stay anyway and we'd love to have you back. Thank you for leaving the Lodge so beautifully tidy. Best, Peter.

Stunning Property!

Everything has been thought of. The kitchen is well equipped; having two dish-washers and washing machines is a great idea when you have fourteen people staying! The dining area is great and we ate both inside and out. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there's plenty go do. But the beds... oh those beds!! SO comfortable!! We all slept like babies and came away feeling really refreshed. Brazenhall is not cheap but it is GREAT value for money. They have earned their Five Stars and their Gold Award. We will be back!

Splendid place to stay in a beautiful setting

I had a delightful stay at Brzenhall Barns. The barns are great for groups or families, with clean and comfortable rooms and a great communal space in which to relax together. The bed in my double room was extremely comfortable and the room itself was spotless. The countryside around the barns is beautiful, with plenty of invigorating country walks available. A special mention has to go to the catering available at Brazenhall. Sally and her team worked so hard to provide us with delicious lunches and sumptuous 3-course suppers in the evenings. It made the stay that extra bit special and I could not recommend the catering enough. Finally, Peter, the host, is extremely helpful and thoroughly pleasant: the customer service is tip-top! All in all, Brazenhall Barns is a wonderful place to stay and I had a brilliant time there!
