Description from owner
Description
The Dairy is a spacious, comfortable and well-equipped two-bedroom converted barn with a wealth of character. It sleeps 4 and also offers the option to link to an additional double bedroom to accommodate a further 2 guests (contact owner for more details). Well-behaved dogs are very welcome.
The Dairy is part of West Heath Barn which comprises 3 recently converted barns dating from the 1850's. We are situated a mile from the picturesque Norfolk village of Great Massingham and immediately adjacent to Peddars Way National Trail. It offers the perfect location to explore all that Norfolk has to offer, being an ideal base for those wishing to visit the local historical houses and gardens, for walkers, cyclists and bird-watchers and the stunning North Norfolk beaches are just 25 minutes drive away.
We’re surrounded by tranquil countryside offering lots of great dog-walking in our own paddock or on the network of pathways around us. Guests walking to Peddars Way will pass by our resident alpacas en route to the award winning Dabbling Duck Pub & restaurant in the local village.
Accommodation comprises:
- Fully equipped kitchen (oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, dish-washer) and adjacent utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer & laundry facilities.
- Entrance hall, and wc
- Lovely spacious lounge with wood-burner, TV & DVD, 2 sofas comfortably seating up to 7 people
- Master bedroom with Norfolk made, wrought-iron king- size bed and en-suite bathroom (bath with mains pressure shower over, WC and sink)
- Pretty twin room, with 2 wrought-iron single beds and en-suite bathroom (walk-in shower)
- An additional double room with en-suite is available to accommodate a further 2 guests if required to sleep up to 6 guests in total (additional costs apply)
Facilities:
- WiFi throughout
- On arrival guests are greeted with flowers, homemade cake and the kitchen is well stocked with basic provisions.
- Luxurious linen and towels are provided
- A cot and highchair are available on request
Dogs are very welcome at The Dairy (typically 2 although we may accept more by arrangement so please contact us to discuss) with access to a fully-fenced exercise paddock right outside your back door. There are loads of pathways to explore within the 5 acres of West Heath Barn land and far beyond. We charge £25 for one dog, £25 for two.
Our second barn, The Cart Lodge, is directly across the courtyard from The Dairy and sleeps 4, making it the perfect option for large families, groups of couples or multi-generational holidays.
Read our generous reviews on Trip Advisor (you'll find them most of them as West Heath Barn and a few more as The Dairy in Great Massingham) to get a flavour of all The Dairy has to offer (April 2017 “having stayed in various places across Norfolk The Dairy at West Heath Barn has to be one of the best ... our hosts, Gill and Dave, were very friendly and accommodating ... facilities are first class both for people and dogs, and the location is perfect").
We offer 7 night stays with a Friday arrival/departure day throughout the year and from January 2023 SHORT BREAKS are available as either a 3 night stay (Friday to Monday) or a 4 night stay (Monday to Friday) during January to May and October to December (excluding the Christmas week). Short breaks are priced at 75% of the weekly rate. If you are interested in a short break please contact us. We will provide a quote and you can then place a booking.

Response from the owner Thanks for the lovely review and glad to hear your parents, daughter and yourself had a great time. As we were very new here when you came to stay, it's really great to hear we're doing it right. Your daughter is doing better than most with the alpacas - most of our guests reckon they're llamas which they most certainly are not! Best wishes to your folks and hope we may see you again at some point in the future.
