Loved the tranquility of the place. The garden is so beautifully maintained with an array of gorgeous, colourful flowers. The sound and look of the fountain is also so relaxing. The owners are very welcoming and lovely….and I very much miss Buddy the dog who was just a delight to have around! The beds were very comfortable and as I suffer from a bad back, this is very important to me. If I was ever to find myself in that area again I would stay here without hesitation.

Lovely small business, great night and stay
This was a sort of throwback stay not in the sense that any of the equipment or facilities were outdated but just in the sense that it the Decoy Barn is a small, family establishment with wonderful, kind and interesting hosts with some of the nicest hospitality I have had anywhere. A fair price and a good nights sleep all thrown in. Fully recommended.

Great place to stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Decoy Barn. This was our first trip to Great Yarmouth. John and Sussanah were very welcoming and friendly. John went out of his way to show us places to visit and to guide us to attractions nearby. The breakfast was very tasty, sumptuous and well prepared. The options available were more than one could expect from a standard bed and breakfast. The rooms were very clean and everything needed was available. We were allowed to use the microwave in the diner to heat food if needed. The view from our room was amazing. Parking was safe within the premises and there were adequate spaces for all. Wifi is available given that mobile signals are not so good in the rooms. Overall, a great stay in very clean premises with welcoming hosts and a great breakfast.

Received a very warm welcome from the owners and their adorable little dog. My room was beautifully furnished and had everything I could possibly need. I wish I could have stayed longer and explored more of my surroundings, but alas it was just a fleeting visit. I’d most definitely stay there again.

We stayed here after our wedding and my wife got ready at Decoy Barns, it's a beautiful location and the garden is perfect. Rooms are pleasant with everything you need and more to enjoy a comfy stay. Breakfast was superb with quality local food and plenty of choice. Best thing about the Decoy Barn though is the hosts, they can't be anymore helpful if they tried, we'll be back again next year to celebrate our anniversary. We loved the place. Thanks again from Aaron & Abbie.
