Peacock Barn

Location

Follow the post code then continue on St Paul's Road South. Take the turning on the right just after the 4 storey mill and follow the white gravel drive down to the barn.  We'd really appreciate it if you can drive slowly as there may well be birds/ animals out and the guinea fowl in particular have no road sense.

If you have any problems give Helen a call on 0775 374 5181.

A traditional seaside town on the Norfolk coast, featuring unique striped cliffs, sandy beaches, and great for a family day out by the sea.

The beach is a mix of golden sands and pebbles, with striking striped cliffs composed of carrstone and chalk, adding to its distinctive charm; shallow waters making it safe for paddling and beach games.

Hunstanton Beach is generally dog-friendly, though seasonal restrictions may apply. The main beach has restrictions during the peak season (from April to October) where dogs are not allowed between the cliffs and the power boat ramp. However, the Old Hunstanton area of the beach is dog-friendly year-round, making it a popular spot for dog owners. There are also plenty of dog-friendly cafés and pubs nearby, where dogs are welcome.

Best Place to Park: Cliff Car Park: Located at the top of the cliffs with excellent views, this is a convenient spot for beachgoers. It’s a short walk down to the main beach area.
