Always enjoy my stay at Decoy Barn
I've stayed at Decoy Barn a couple of times now and always enjoyed my stay there. The rooms are lovely, spotlessly clean and very quiet - both times I've stayed I've slept well, which I hardly ever do when I am away from home. John and Suzanne are great hosts and I always feel very welcome when I stay at Decoy Barn. The off-street parking is really good too - plenty of spaces and very secure.

We had an amazing 2 nights stay hosted by John and partner in Decoy Barn. Hosts were very welcoming. John helped us with his knowledgeable tips and observations on visiting places of interest in Norfolk. Breakfast was excellent. Garden with it's vibrant colours were a joy to the eyes. Room was comfortable and clean ensuring adequate privacy. Will recommend to anyone going there.

Relaxing get away
Decoy Barn & its hosts were absolutely delightful, our hosts were welcoming and friendly. The two bedroom suite we stayed in was comfortable, clean, very well equipped. The garden that our room looked out onto was immaculately kept, lovely area to sit and relax. We had breakfast one morning and this was delicious, nothing was too much from our hosts. Thank you John & Suzanne for a lovely relaxed stay at your B & B, we’d definitely recommend and most definitely stay again 🙂
