Safe, clean and very comfortable
We had a wonderful short break...Owl barn was very clean and I felt very confident and safe in these uncertain times. The accommodation has been very thoughtfully organised and resourced. It was a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay in beautiful surroundings. The owners were also very welcoming and friendly and very quick to provide information about local dog friendly places to visit. I would recommend Owl Barn unreservedly

Excellent accommodation
Owl Barn really does exceed all expectations, Jane and Lesley have thoughtfully provided everything to make your stay as comfortable as can be. The barn is very spacious with lovely outside seating overlooking a lovely garden. The bed was so comfortable we didn’t want to get up. All the attractions such as the Broads and the coast are all within reasonable travelling distance. We would love to stay there again and can truly say Owl Barn is the best accommodation we have stayed in.

Wonderful holiday property.
We holiday in British dog friendly cottages three times a year and this is by far the best we’ve had in along time. Owl barn is beautifully presented with everything you could want. Sisland is a very quiet village but is ideally situated for visiting The Broads, Norwich or the coast. We will book again.

A peaceful holiday
My wife and I have stayed at many self-catering places, and this was our second visit to Owl Barn. It is by far the best place we have stayed. Everything has been thought of, and all eqipment and fittings are top quality. It is close to Norwich, but totally secluded, if you prefer peace and quiet. Fully deserves 5 star rating

Lovely house and location
The house was exceptionally clean and has everything you could possibly need. Jane was very helpful and we really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful setting. I would give 5 stars, but the wi-fi is not reliable - it didn't affect us on this occasion, but it would be good to be aware in advance if you are dependent on it for work (which I am usually). Thank you for a great few days.

Impeccable, exquisite, faultless - magnificent place to stay and relax in Norfolk
Owl Barn really is perfect in every sense and Jane and Lesley could not have been more thoughtful, considerate and thorough. They thought about absolutely every last detail and if we needed something it was there. They were extremely welcoming to us and our 2 year old Labrador, even fencing off the garden to keep him safe from wandering. Plus points - super king size bed - so comfortable! Wet room with tremendous shower, really well equipped kitchen, maps and guide books, Bose stereo system.........bottle of wine and local jam left out for us - and some biscuits etc for our dog. Very quiet and relaxing. No negative points at all. If only we could have stayed for a second week. We would give Owl Barn and the owners six stars if the scale extended far enough to mark absolute excellence. If only other properties that we rented were at this standard. Well done and thank you very much indeed.

Owl Barn was fantastic!
Jane and Lesley have provided everything that you could possibly need at Owl Barn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the weather was fabulous and we so enjoyed sitting outside the Barn with the BBQ watching the Bats. The bed was super comfy. The kitchen and bathroom was fully equipped. Thanks for a lovely stay.
