Surprise gem
Chicken Barn
We booked late and are glad we did as otherwise, we might have missed this gem since we have previously stayed around the area a lot. The views are stunning No traffic noise since it is quite secluded. Lovely walks. Easy access to Holt and the North Norfolk coast. Wonderful pubs and restaurants nearby. The site is on a slope but that was great as w
Wonderful Hidden Gem
Chicken Barn
What a fantastic site. Located in stunning North Norfolk this site is just great. Although not level and without the benefit of hardstandings it has views to die for. I have been twice so far and off there again this week. It has everything you need. The pitches are big and in no way are you crammed in. There are multiple great walks around the local estate and easy walks to the nearest pubs around two miles away. Silvia, the host, is great and very helpful. I'm sure I will just go there again and again. The first time we stayed there was in March and great not to see a single light in any direction at night.
Love this site
Chicken Barn
We stayed here at the beginning of June, it was easy to find and park up, the views are second to none, not a road in sight and barely a sound, fantastic. This is quite simply the best site we have found in the area, close to beaches, 3 or 4 miles from gorgeous Blakeney, fabulous dog walks, lovely friendly owners, cannot recommend enough. Our dogs had a fabulous time walking from the site. Easy access to water and disposal of toilet waste. Thank you for a fabulous stay, we are returning in July.

Perfect CL
Chicken Barn
Easy enough to find if you follow the instructions.
Approach roads are a tad narrow but with plenty of passing places.
Site entrance wide enough to get in easily then onto an unmade approach track which swings round and down and onto the site itself.
Yes the site slopes- but not too much- it's nestled on a little hillside with a copse of trees behind and open views into a little secluded valley with small fields and woodland and almost no signs of civilisation- just a couple of horses and plenty of rabbits, hares, birds.... . We managed to get up onto the right-hand side without much trouble. (new hard-core was put in the tyre-tracks whilst we were there so probably even easier now)
TV and phone reception up here on the right-hand side OK.
Robin, the owner came by after we had set-up and we had a nice chat about the area, local pub recommendations, and the walks on his land.
Water and chemical disposal at the entrance to the CL. rubbish needs to be taken to the bins at the side of the road- so best done when you're driving out for the day.
We didn't have the best weather whilst there but I bet on a nice sunny day, it's a piece of heaven!
Highly recommended- will definitely be staying here again if in the area.

No Chickens!
Chicken Barn
We loved this site for all the reasons given by other reviewers. It's what I call a 'proper' CL.
One or two additional comments we can make are :-
Whilst the access track wasn't as bumpy as I was expecting it is positively 'single track no passing places' so observation of the 12 o'clock rule for arrival/departure is strongly advised!
We were in the right hand pitching area and it is indeed a steep pull up ( I was dreaming of a motorised Aquaroll !) However we had no problems at all with traction in our 2 wheel drive saloon, this despite the heavy rain we had at times. It seems the ground naturally drains well so please don't be discouraged if you don't have a 4 x 4.
The paths described by others don't show on the Ordnance Survey map because they are permissive paths - this threw me at first but there is indeed a nice path running north east from the CL field to connect with further permissive paths through the grounds of Bayfield Hall.
From the site name and the description - 'working farm' my wife was concerned about the smell of chickens. There is indeed (arable) farmland all around but it looked to me like Chicken Barn is just the name of the owners house - certainly we didn't see or hear one on our entire visit ! Just hares, rabbits and deer.
