(1)

Licensed for official ceremonies since 2009. Barn Drift, reputed the best of Norfolk, overlooking the Cley Marshes, the Glaven Valley and Blakeney Point. This unique holiday home and licensed wedding venue, was recently converted from an ancient barn into the beautiful home it is ~ now offering a stunning and exceptionally comfortable building. With 8 spacious bedrooms, each beautifully decorated and with zip and link twin or double beds depending on guests' requirements. The huge, well equipped kitchen is flooded with natural light, as are the two sitting rooms and dining room. The house has underfloor heating throughout, controlled by resident guests from each room. Both sitting rooms have Smart TVs and plenty of board games, the house also has a manifold of books for everyone, a croquet set and even table tennis. There is a large boot room, furnished, of course with a washing machine and tumble dryer. In the conversion of the barn the 3 sheltered walled gardens, accessed from large sliding doors off the hall, kitchen, dining room and drawing room have been beautifully retained - each offering warm sun traps and stunning varied and ever-changing views over the valley, sea and bleached sand dunes of Blakeney Point.

The heart of Barn Drift. A kitchen designed for a full house — long breakfasts, big dinners, lots of people cooking at once and everyone inevitably gathering around the island.

One of our favourite rooms in the house. 🤍

11 North Norfolk beaches to add to your list and why. From huge stretches of sand at Holkham and Brancaster to the wild shingle at Cley and proper seaside days in Cromer and Sheringham, there’s a beach for every kind of day along this coastline.

And one of our favourites is right on the doorstep — Barn Drift has its own private farm path leading straight down to Cley beach.

Save this for your next North Norfolk stay — which beach is your favourite?

September stays at Barn Drift. Still warm enough for long days outside, quieter beaches and evenings in the garden, but with the first signs of autumn starting to appear.

One of our favourite times of year to be in North Norfolk — and there’s still time to squeeze in a stay before the seasons properly change.

Barn Drift received a VisitBritainBiz ROSE Award (Recognition Of Service Excellence) last week. ♥️

This one means a huge amount to us, as the ROSE Awards recognise those who go the extra mile to give guests an exceptional experience, providing world-class service and the warmest of welcomes — which is exactly what we hope every guest feels when they stay at Barn Drift.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the people behind the scenes. Our fabulous cleaning team, who work so hard to make sure everything is perfect for every arrival, Jules, who steps in whenever necessary always smiling and helpful and our wonderful caretaker Luke, who as you can see also takes his summer holidays with us too!

Such a special award and a lovely way to round off the summer. We’re incredibly proud of the whole team. ♥️

For weddings that feel a little more like you 🤍

Long summer evenings, drinks in the garden, dinner with all your favourite people and disappearing for a few photographs as the sun goes down.

Weddings at Barn Drift are relaxed, intimate and completely your own — with the North Norfolk countryside as the backdrop.

A house that makes you want to stay in. 🤎

Slow mornings, long afternoons on the sofa, a fire lit when the temperature drops and nowhere you particularly need to be.

One of our favourite corners of Barn Drift — made for the quieter months on the North Norfolk coast.

The last of summer in the gardens at Barn Drift. September has arrived, but we’re holding onto these final days of long lunches outside, afternoons under the trees and evenings that still stretch on just a little longer.

There’s something particularly lovely about the garden at this time of year, as summer slowly gives way to autumn on the North Norfolk coast.

One last little glimpse of summer before the seasons change.
