Oasis barn reviews from our guests in 2019/20
Booked this holiday as my partner and I wanted a relaxing holiday as I have just come out of hospital. This was the ideal place, rural setting yet able to visit the local towns and villages easily. Perfect for us. The barn itself is well equipped. All things COVID-19 related are in place for peace of mind...
I would recommend this to anyone wanting a rural holiday.
Also the coast is not far away.
This was a great place for 4 groups of people and their pets. We each had our own space and space to get together. A luxurious welcome pack, for humans and dogs, well resourced kitchens and comfy beds. Locally we walked to St Peter's brewery and discovered beautiful countryside. Further afield we went canoeing on the Waverney, visited a vineyard, Covehithe beach for a swim in the sea, Southwold for the pier and ice cream. A lovely memory will be the BBQ in the garden at the barn and evenings just laughing in the ample communal room. Already told other people about it. Would definitely visit again.
I'm not one to get excited about a UK holiday, so I wasn't that over the moon with going to Norfolk for one week for our family holiday. I'm used to staying in hot locations in 4/5-star hotels... Our group consists of 4 couples, 4 children & 3 dogs. We decided to go with Oasis Barn as we could hire all 4 accommodations (detached bungalows, 2 bedroom & 2 one bedroom) to ourselves. It also came with games room, BBQ garden area, plenty of parking & each bungalow had it's own gated back garden with outdoor seating & table. The photos on the website doesn't give the actual accommodation justice. It's much better than what I had expected! It was the little details in the accommodation that made the huge difference for me. Lounge, kitchen & dining area is open planned and bigger than I had expected. The owner had left a welcome hamper in each property consisting of essentials: eggs, homemade jam, homemade bread, biscuits, wine, bear, cider, soft drink. Probably other stuff I cannot remember. There also was a wrapped gift for each children! Kitchen also had other essentials: fresh milk in the fridge, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, condiments, every type of dishes, pots & pans, bottle opener, touch, laundry powder, tupperware. The list is endless! We were in a 2 bedroom bungalow, which came with one bathroom also with shower. The master room was on suite with huge walk in shower. I was very impressed with the interior & decor of the property, the owners really put a lot of effect & thought into how each property looked & felt. Each shower room had hotel style mini-shower gel, shampoo & conditioner. Clean soft towels nicely folded & tied with blue ribbon on each bed. Puts some hotel towels to shame! The bed- well, it was so comfortable, I slept like a baby every night! Overall I was really impressed with the property. Outside communal area was big, beautifully thought out, nicely maintained garden. Lake & huge field areas. Watching the sunrise & sunset where ever you were around the property was very picturesque. I enjoyed my morning runs, not a soul in sight which was pleasant at times! Pubs, beaches, national trusts walks not far from the property. You would need to drive around to places, which wasn't a problem for us as all had a car. We hired boats in advance & spent the day out on the boats hopping from one place to another, which was an excellent day out. Also, did some fishing, which the kids loved! The beaches were not too far, including Great Yarmouth. One of the beaches had seals swimming not so far from people, which amazing to see! In overall perfect stay-cation :) Perfect for couples, families, children, friends & pets. Whatever the season. I highly recommend Oasis barn & would consider staying there again :)
Upon arrival we kindly received a gift hamper including complimentary wine, cider, fruit, milk, home made bread and jam. We were kindly gifted with dog towels, treats and bowls, an extra lovely thought from the landlords.
The pictures do not do this cosy little lodge justice, it is 10x better and exceeds expectations! There is a games room, brilliant if travelling in a large group but also separate lodges for when people wanted their own time, each with kitchen and bathroom facilities. The barn was equipped with BBQ, garden (brilliant if you have children) and pond which backs onto acres of crop land. The land is wonderful for close local pet walks and morning runs!
Situated close to local pubs - our favourite 'The Wissett Plough' 5*! With Co-Op a 15/20 min drive away near to pay as you go gym facilities. There are many free outdoor activities close by and approx. 50 minute drive from Great Yarmouth beach.
We loved our stay and would highly recommend the barn
Large barn has been converted to approx four different holiday lets Available individually or as a group. We booked as a group so have the whole complex to our disposal including a large communal dining hall with a games room and large screen tv There is a pool table ,xbox 360 and football table and a little play are for the children also dogs are allowed which was a necessary requirement for the booking. All the rooms are equipped with shower or bath with 24 hours hot waster ,dishwasher ,washing machine ,tv,underfloor heating and and luxurious bedding very comfortable plus Internet at a good speed which was a plus if you need to stay in touch via the www. Parking is easy and off road and there are great spaces with outdoor furniture to relax outside of the individual accomadations Would I recommend this to anyone? Yes 100%, but you will need a car if you want to go on day excursions but a bicycle would get you about if you are fit enough. The attention to detail for the guests from the owners is fantastic and I was surprised to find a greeting pack with eggs milk beer and soda awaiting inside when I entered - Believe me very much appreciated. Would I come back? Absolutely
My family and I stayed here for my mother's birthday, there is lot of us so great to find somewhere that could fit all adults, kids and dogs together. Gifts baskets in rooms on arrival just added a perfect touch. The communal room/games room has lots of entertainment and superb size for us to all eat together. The location is great for short drives to towns and beach, and pathways through the fields to take the dogs for walks. Would recommend to everyone thinking of going away for the weekend.
Just finished an amazing stay at oasis barn. We hired out the whole barn and had a fabulous time. Each apartment was spotless with lots of space and excellent finishes. The welcome baskets were greatly appreciated by all and the children loved their little gifts. The games room/ party room as the kids called it, was an amazing space for us all to share and we all thoroughly enjoyed all the games in there, from the pool table to the Xbox connect. I can’t recommend this place enough, absolutely amazing. We can’t wait to go back.
Beautifully converted barn with first class fixtures and fittings. An ideal property for family or friends to share whilst the 4 separate dwellings make it easy for anyone wanting their own space. Every conceivable thing that you could ever need whilst on holiday has been thoughtfully provided, along with a very generous hamper that includes treats for dogs, children and adults! Massive, comfortable beds and good quality furnishings throughout help to make Oasis Barn an absolute delight, meanwhile the owners discreetly stay in the background but are easily contacted if needed. The games room is extremely well equipped and kept 3 generations amused for hours on end, our family actually preferred staying in there to going out locally, this saved a fortune in restaurant and booze bills! We just filled the very large fridge with beer and wine etc and had a great time. There are some good places to go in the area, some are a 20 minute drive or the Rumburgh Buck does decent food and is only 1.2 miles away. We rented the private swimming pool at Oakland's Leisure, 10 minutes away and had full use of the pool to ourselves for £42..... decent value for 8 people. All in all, a great stay that all age groups enjoyed immensely, I would thoroughly recommend Oasis Barn Holidays.
What a great weekend. Booked the barn to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful time. The genius of a large games/dining barn made for good family dinners with each family cooking on a given night. The individual barns were equipped to a very high standard and we couldn't have wanted more. We had a brilliant time.
We couldn’t have asked for more. The barns were all beautiful and comfortable. The big play barn was so perfect for our needs as a large group with 6 kids.
The food and drinks you supplied to welcome us were so thoughtful and appreciated.
My daughter, the youngest of the whole group, cried all of yesterday evening because she wanted to come back. She has made us promise to return.
Thank you very much for the perfect stay.
We hired the whole barn for 12 of us, 6 adults and 6 children ranging from 4 months to 7 years old in 4 different families and had an absolutely fantastic time. The accommodation was of a very high standard throughout, the communal barn was absolutely wonderful for our group, to eat together, socialise in and - most importantly - keep the children entertained in with the large variety of activities provided there. Although the oldest child we had there was 7, teenagers wouldn't have run out of things to do there either. So very well thought through and provided. The welcome hampers were really above and beyond what any of us could have expected - so generous. The separate barns were all immaculate with all the facilities you could want. I would say home from home, but to be honest they were better than where I live! Wifi was good with great coverage throughout. As there is a pond at the back of the property, we had wondered whether we would need to keep an eye on the children, but it was well gated and fenced off and none of us felt concerned about this at all for the whole stay. I would thoroughly recommend Oasis Barn to anyone and everyone and would return there in a heartbeat. Absolutely perfect for larger family groups or families looking to holiday together. The privacy of your own rooms with space for 12 (or more) to eat and socialise together so you can achieve your perfect balance of socialising and personal time. Thank you so much Stuart & Joanne.
We recently stayed in Oasis Barn for an event nearby. We had such a wonderful stay! It was so homely with all the amenities you would expect from a luxury cottage whilst also being very clean and modern. Our lovely host even provided some delicious breakfast treats for us. I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed at Oasis barns over New Year as a group of 12 (3 families). We were very impressed by the standard and cleanliness of the barns. The welcome packs were a nice touch and consisted of drinks and snacks. We enjoyed socialising in the games room and playing pool. We would definitely recommend to others.
We have just spent an amazing family Christmas at Oasis Barns. We booked the entire complex for 3 nights for 12 people. Throughout the year our requirements changed and Stuart & Joanne had no problem tending to our needs. The individual accomodation barns were beautiful, modern,spacious and clean. There was homemade bread and jam in each along with fridge essentials. The bigger barns had a bath and shower plus an en suite. The larger communal barn was ideal for all the family to get together and play games etc, and again welcome baskets with goodies were a very nice unexpected touch. There was a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and a long table for our Christmas lunch, with white linen table cloths. We were welcomed with the lovely goodies, information booklet and left to our own devices, knowing that Stuart & Joanne were close by if needed, which was ideal for our family. I honestly cannot fault Oasis Barn and would recommend it for a nice break in beautiful countryside surroundings.
