Meadow Barn – A Characterful Rural Retreat in Edingthorpe
Welcome to Meadow Barn, a gorgeously presented barn conversion tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Edingthorpe. If you are looking for a slice of North Norfolk calm, this is it. With its soaring beamed ceilings, cosy woodburner, and flexible layout, Meadow Barn is a breath of fresh air for humans and hounds alike.
Located just three miles from the sandy stretches of Mundesley and Bacton beaches, you get the very best of both worlds: a quiet rural sanctuary to call home with the coast practically on your doorstep.
Why Pack Members Love Meadow Barn:
Flexible Space: Sleeps 6 in the main barn, with a stunning self-contained Annexe available for a further 2 guests.
Accessibility: Features a ground-floor bedroom and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
The Kitchen: A real showstopper with an electric ‘AGA’ and a huge American-style fridge freezer.
Quiet & Calm: Rated 2-Star Reactive Friendly; a peaceful spot with very little noise.
Multi-Dog Welcome: 3+ dogs are very welcome here at no extra charge!
If you would like to book the Annexe alongside the main house (which will then sleep 8 in total) you can add the Annexe on as an additional extra during the booking process. The cost to add the Annexe on is £300 if booked alongside the main barn. (Do contact Gail if you have any questions about this)

Reactive Dog Guide
Meadow Barn is a 2 Star Reactive friendly property very much heading to a 3 Star. It is in a very quiet location and to date, we have had no reports of firworks being heard at all during firework season or NY. The garden is secure (lowest paddock gate at entry point) and hedged and fenced around all other 3 sides. There is a field at the rear of the annexe with two horses in. The horses are separated by the fence and a hedge and do not approach the fence area but please be aware for those dogs that may be reactive to horses movement

The Ridgeway Family –
We have had a lovely holiday in beautiful Meadow Barn. We have visited many places including Sheringham, Cromer, North Walsham, Wroxham, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Norwich
We have also eaten at some lovely places and would recommend The Boathouse in Ormesby, the Recruiting Sergeant and others. A very enjoyable holiday which we will remember for a long time and would revisit in the future. Thank you very much
Mum David and Heidi –

We have had a wonderful stay at Meadow Barn in Edingthorpe. The barn is warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated: we have enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and watching the cows, horses and alpacas in neighbouring fields. We have been so lucky with the weather and have managed to miss most of the rain, so have bene able to get out and explore a number of beaches – Bacton, Walcott, Cart Gap and Happisburgh as well as visit Bacton Woods and Happisburgh lighthouse
We have had a few wonderful days away and would recommend Meadow Barn and Pack Holidays to others. We will definitely be using Pack Holidays again in the future

The Clorley’s –
We had a fantastic stay at Meadow Barn & Annexe. We wanted somewhere nice & quiet to escape the fireworks over New Year and we found the perfect place. The cottage is beautiful and has amazing beds & pillows. Every one of us commented on them and how well we all slept.
The cottage is in a perfect location with lots of walks right on the doorstep, we explored for miles. Bacton woods & beaches are a short drive away and there are lots of nice places to eat & drink nearby where all our dogs were welcomed. We will definitely be back again. Thank you to the owners & Gail @ pack holidays.

We had the most relaxing few days at Meadow Barn. Very spacious property with everything that we needed. We found it perfectly situated for beach walks and for walks in Bacton Woods. Some good places to eat nearby – Shambles in North Walsham for lunch and Watsons in Bacton for coffee or breakfast. Also had a great evening at the Suffield Arms. All very dog friendly.
