About this house rental
The Heydon is situated in a quintessential rural setting close to the village of Roughton and barely two miles from the premier coastal resort of bustling Cromer. This delightful cottage is a converted farm building forming part of a small complex of nine barns. With shared use of a heated indoor pool, this hideaway is a perfect base from which to explore the delights that North Norfolk has to offer, at any time of year.
The barn is on one level and full of character with flint walls, vaulted ceilings and beams, and it is warm and cosy with underfloor heating. Comfortable and well-equipped with an enclosed and attractive courtyard garden, the property enjoys great views across quiet, open farmland leading to the coast. The locality is good for wildlife as guests have spotted hares, red kite, and red-legged partridges running round the site. The pool is fabulous with private one hour swim slots bookable daily in the pool entrance when you arrive. Guests love the rare opportunity to enjoy the privacy of a one hour swim to themselves. Apart from in January, the 13 m x 6m heated pool is fabulous with private one hour swim slots daily between 9am and 3pm and shared slots with other barns between 3 and 6pm. Outside the pool complex is a play area, featuring a wooden climbing frame and swings.
The Heydon is a wonderfully romantic retreat for couples, but equally suitable for someone wishing to holiday alone. The area is beautiful with the National Trust properties of Felbrigg and Blickling close by and the impressive Sheringham Park is a short drive away. Roughton has a petrol station and shop, open 24/7, and a pub serving food. Cromer has an abundance of cafes, restaurants, and some of the best fish and chips for miles around.
The Heydon's neighbouring property, the equally charming The Felmingham sleeps four guests, and booked with The Heydon for larger groups.
Additional Information:
Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Pillows and duvet are synthetic fibre.
Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own linen for the travel cot.
Swimming towels are not provided - please remember to bring your own.
There is no lifeguard on duty - please do not swim alone or leave children unsupervised.
Although no starter pack is provided at this property, the owner will leave a lovely welcome treat for you.

8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2022
Overall an enjoyable stay. excellent location, close to many places to visit. Several good places to enjoy a good meal, especially the The Foundry Arms at North Repps and Roughton Fish and Chips.
Overall the The Heydon is an excellent place to stay but disappointing that the price had increases significantly because of the Easter holiday.
The barns complex is very well laid out with plenty on open spaces and the swimming pool is an additional benefit.
Only two negatives:
1. The overall cleanliness of the property could be improved. Flooring, kitchen area, including cooker, fridge, crockery and utensils and bathroom would benefit from an improved level of cleaning.
2. The electrics failed on two occasions during the night meaning no power or heating when we woke up in the morning. Luckily I was able to restore the power due to my electrical experience. The RCD in the consumer unit had tripped, luckily it reset OK on both occasions.
However, neither of these negatives would stop us returning to The Heydon in the future.

A well appointed and equipped barn conversion. Would have preferred a dishwasher rather than the installed clothes washing machine. A good swimming pool on site.
