'Lovely clean house, kitchen well serviced. House cosy, ideal position for exploring North Norfolk! Had a wonderful week! Very relaxing. Have booked another Barefoot Retreat next year due to high standard of property.'

'Lovely house. Docking a better location than expected. We all love Holkham beach but it is a big walk for the little ones. Brancaster is much easier, if you can get in the car park. The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe is great. Thornham Deli works with children as a lunch time restaurant. Bircham Windmill and North Norfolk Railway were a hit with the youngest members of the family (2+4).'

'We are leaving 5 Courtyard Barns after 15 weeks. This has been an exceptional refuge for us after the flooding of our home. The house is beautifully furnished and very well equipped and I am sure everyone will be delighted when they see it. Thank you to all at Barefoot Retreats who have responded so efficiently to any of our queries or requests. We wish you all a good summer and hope things will be back to normal soon!'
