Barn Drift, a well established award-winning, 5 star luxurious and elegant conversion of a spacious 18th century barn in the middle of private land.

Barn Drift is the perfect place for a tailored to you unforgettable wedding with friends and family. You create your own wedding experience from scratch using this quintessential bespoke venue as your unique and aw-inspiring backdrop. We are delighted to be fully licensed for weddings and civil ceremonies and we really do offer a blank canvas, allowing you to have what you want in one of the most beautiful places on the English coast. Our unique, unspoilt 1940's aircraft Hanger, just a few yards from the house, looking out to sea is now licensed as well. We have also just completed building a beautiful dining room, over 15 meters long and overlooking the garden, with glass doors opening up the entire 15 meter length of the room.

Romantic and cosy escape

Recently spent the weekend at Barn Drift celebrating a big birthday. I slept in the new and oh so enchanting farm trailer. It is well protected from the elements and with the comfiest bed I have ever slept in. Waking up to the sound of nothing but bird song along with the breathtaking views over the marshes to the sea was nothing short of divine. Would highly recommend to those wanting a romantic and cosy escape from busy and noisy lives.

Perfect for a big family get together

Barn Drift was the perfect place for a big family get together. So much space, incredibly comfortable and Alice couldn’t have been more helpful. Everything we could possibly need was in the house plus luxuries like fresh, garden flowers in every bedroom and pots of hyacinths in the main sitting room that smelled delicious. I wish my house was half as nice!

Heaven on earth! We had the most wonderful stay in the beautiful Barn Drift in the magical Norfolk countryside. The location of the Barn is perfect! Secluded with stunning views of the sea, but close enough to the lovely seaside towns, filled with pretty shops and wonderful pubs. Barn Drift is everything you could want and more! Cosy up by the fire place, walk on the pebbled beaches, dine in the scenic dining room, bathe in baths made for royalty… It truly is a place of idyll and tranquility.

Even more beautiful than the pictures

The best norfolk getaway! You have the sea at your door step and the views are even more beautiful than the pictures. The interiors are fabulous with exceptional attention to detail, and each bedroom has its own personal touch, with everything you need including very comfy beds! The sitting room is perfect for those colder days, with lots of choice on the tv and a spacious yet cosy feel about it. 10/10 would recommend for any group looking for the best way to experience gorgeous Norfolk.

Travel Notes

Due to the remote location of the house it is accessed down a long farm track - sports cars can manage it but 10 mph advised! The flints though out the soil in North Norfolk can also give you a puncture if you go too fast.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Barn Drift?

Each wedding held at Barn Drift has been very different and equally special! We have felt extremely honoured to be a small part in each families special moment and love nothing more than guests returning for other events and holidays.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Start by picturing your perfect wedding day from the moment you first open your eyes in the morning ~ right up until bed time. Make lists and delegate! Friends and family are always delighted to help.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

So many! But I always enjoy each family's own creativity brought to Barn Drift - sometimes with masses of home made props (golden pineapples once!) and sometimes just a few wild flowers in jam jars to add to the already dreamy Barn Drift.
