“Peaceful, comfortable and close to the coast. We would recommend Owl Barn and will consider returning at some point.”
+Peaceful location close to lovely coastal walks and regular local bus. The bedrooms were spacious and the first floor living area was very roomy with pleasant views over Morston Hall gardens. The owners had left us a collection of goodies in the kitchen which were hugely appreciated!
−Whilst it’s always harder to sleep in a strange bed nevertheless, the twin beds were very noisy to sleep on! Every time one moved or turned over the base creaked dreadfully which did genuinely disturb the sleep of both of us. Some of the lightbulbs were either missing or had fused. Sadly, we couldn’t find any replacements.

“Fantastic location and property let down by poor housekeeping”
+Great space and lovely balcony - very comfortable.
−Floors all not swept or hoovered so revolting things like toe nails and various types of hair on the floors.

“Disappointed , but a beautiful house and great location.”
+Beautiful house well equipped kitchen and set in a wonderful location . If I were only staying for a weekend I think I’d give a higher score , however as the week went on the frustrating issues just became even more annoying.
−Only one very underpowered shower for 5/6people .My fault I didn’t read the detail , but I thought 2 bathrooms would mean 2 showers.The shower itself is tired and the grout to wall and floor tiles needs cleaning and resealing.The shower is rubbish , a nightmare for those wanting to shampoo their hair , as rinsing off takes ages …and Its been mentioned in so many of your reviews ( which I should have read prior to booking) ! The single beds are torture.My poor nieces up from the big city and hoping for quiet country costal lie ins over the weekend were very disappointed .The manager or owner needs to sleep in them for a night (or two).They either need tightening up or throwing on a bonfire ,they are extremely creaky and noisy , even at the merest touch.Im very sad that I didn’t manage to provide them with a good weekend away ( despite the house costing me £1750 for the week !) No mirrors !Why? how do we check eg a wedding outfit or blow dry our hair ? Ridiculous..no mirrors in bedrooms hall or lounge ..I had to use my IPad camera! The main bedroom (that I used ) needs blackout blinds ,instead of the flimsy white blinds .It was broad daylight in the room at 04am .Very unfair.(see pic

“Super location, very comfortable stay.”
+Fantastic location - excellent for walking to seal trips, lovely walks to Blakeney, easy for lots of attractions. House was well equipped, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable.
−Only one shower was a bit limiting for a family of 4 adults.

“Despite its fabulous location we would not return”
+We chose the property based on its location - away from the crowds yet close to the beach
−The lack of cleanliness and the faulty door lock to the juliet balcony which meant we could not open the door. The door lock was fixed on day 3 of our 6 night stay but the house was never cleaned despite having outlined all areas on the first night. OUr list of complaints included: a greasy oven tray, dirty tea cups, dirty water glass in the bathroom, rubbish left under the radiator in the bathroom, dust and hair around the power cable to the lamp on the nightstand, short black hairs on one of the bedsheets plus the floor was definitely neither swept nor washed before our arrival. The only shower in the property was small and its water pressure very low - washing longer hair would have taken ages. If 6 or even 4 people need to use the shower, it would not be ideal to say the least. Frankly, we were surprised that a property as pictured on booking.com was in such a condition. There was no attempt to rectify the raised issues during our stay. We ended up asking for a refund which was given. Sadly, we can neither recommend this property nor would we stay again. Pity, really!

“Great location. Liked being able to walk to Blakeney”
+Clean, airy and well equipped
−Nothing we didn’t like but you need to be quiet upstairs if anyone is in bed, downstairs.
