    I loved every little bit of my trip to Starry Meadow. The shepherds hut was beautiful and very well equipped. Outside, it came with a barbecue, firepit, deck chairs and a bench to eat at. Whilst inside there was, a kettle, toaster, fridge freezer, microwave, cups, utensils and a little tv to watch dvds on. The location is beautiful. It's set back down a little lane and is peaceful and quiet. Last night we heard the church bells ring and watched the sunset across the fields with a haze of mist covering the land. It was gorgeous! The animals are gorgeous and I don't think I will ever forget, hearing the donkeys as you wake up in the morning. The hosts were brilliant and were unintrusive. Just before arrival, I received a welcoming phone call, telling me how the check in worked and then throughout my stay, a little text asking if everything was OK and to get in touch if anything was needed. There's a lovely garden centre/shop a couple of miles away called Vera's. We had a cracking breakfast in there and even bought a dressed crab. It's a nice place to visit and good to pick up some bits that you may need. There is also a Tesco nearby with a petrol station. We really enjoyed our stay here and wish that we could have stayed longer. We will definitely come back. Thank you.

    Everything! it was a beautiful shepherd's hut with a picturesque scenery. Animal sanctuary on the land. So peaceful and quiet with amenities in close driving distance. We will definitely be returning, but for a longer stay. Amanda was the perfect host.

    The location of the property is very private and we felt very relaxed sitting by the firepit. The animals are a great addition to the property and we enjoyed taking part in a hands on experience with the donkeys, not to mention the wonderful wildlife that can be seen.

    We stayed in Barn Owl View Shepherds Hut and it was everything and more. Its located off the main road so no road noise, its peaceful tranquil and cosy. Watching the stars of a night next to your fire. . . Just pure relaxation. Thank you Amanda your communication was perfect as well. The donkeys, piggies and goats were fantastic to watch. . . And the cats were perfect hosts checking in as well. All in all cannot fault anything was everything that the doctor ordered, will definitely come again!

    It was all wonderful.

    Starry Meadow is an absolutely wonderful place to relax and enjoy being in nature. Our Shepherds Hut was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The bed was comfy with plenty of storage underneath. Good size bathroom with great shower and flushing loo! We enjoyed meeting the donkeys, goats and pigs and the cats that came to visit us. The sunset on the horizon was stunning. The fire pit was great and we stayed outside til late gazing at the stars and moon from the comfy recliners. Great location - we visited Sea Palling beach - which is huge with good facilities and also Horsey Gap where we were lucky to see a herd of seals bathing on the sand Good communication from Amanda prior to our visit and lovely to meet Ray during our stay. Book it - you won’t regret it!!

    Fantastic place to fully relax! Cozy nook is basically your own private woodland glade with everything you need. We cooked on the BBQ and relaxed by the fire pit in the evening after a busy day. I don't think I've ever been so relaxed!

    The bed was not very comfortable; the mattress was thin and soft and we could feel the springs. Would recommend bringing a mattress topper if you have one. It was a bit inconvenient to bring our own bedding and towels.

    We were in the fox hut. Quiet location, gas BBQ and firepit available (bring your own firewood). It was lovely being near the donkeys, goats and pigs. Great location for exploring this side of Norfolk and going to the beach. We appreciated the seating options outside (picnic bench and two reclining chairs). Good bathroom facilities.

    The shepherds hut was so cozy and fully kitted out, making the stay very relaxing and enjoyable. Perfect solo trip surrounded by nature and animals—including the cats that came to hang out around the fire at night. There is so much to see and do locally—there’s never a boring moment.
