A very dog friendly holiday home. However, there was, nowhere to hang coats, no drawers in bedrooms. No clothes airer. No non slip shower mat. We asked the owner if we could park our cars away from the trees as our cars were covered in pigeon poop. We were given a less than satisfactory answer to park further away from the caravan.

It was spotlessly clean, and a lovely peaceful location, with a very well fenced garden area for our dog! The dog paddock was also spotless, and very well kept (as were all of the paths on the farm).
Just a few little things that we felt could be improved upon..... The saucepans have no lids, and the frying pans could really do with replacing as are no longer 'non stick'. It would be lovely if these old and mismatched cooking pans, could be replaced.
Watching T.V. in live view, we found it had a very poor signal and was impossible to watch. However, all of the channels were available on i player, so we were very happy to watch those.
The shower unit, only has a tiny soap dish attached, and there is no shelf to put shampoo etc., on, and no non slip mat for it. Rather than risk a fall, we chose to wash instead.
However, this was a truly lovely place to stay with our dog, and the positives, far outweighed the negative points.

Stayed with our 3 dogs in one of the static, and it was ideal in every way, plenty of outdoor space for you, and the rest of the grounds was kept beautiful, the private dog field was secure and ideal, lovely walks along the coast and to the beach.
There isn't alot around so you either walk or need to drive out but that was one of the charms of the place for us, Internet wasnt great however the free WiFi helped.
If you wanted a beautiful secluded location to fully unwind and slow down to reset then this is definitely the location.
Watching the goats enjoy there day was lovely as well.
Would definitely book again.
Only thing I would change is the steps going into the static, could do with being composite steps to feel more stable and with out the gaps (my dogs have little legs)

This beautiful caravan was advertised as a budget holiday but was actually the most cleanest comfortable caravan I ve ever stayed in. 100% safe enclosed garden just a couple of minutes from enclosed dog field which we were able to access anytime ,no need to book but may share with other dogs on site but we actually only met one other dog in the time we stayed ( Mon-Fri). Lovely , peacefully quiet dog friendly area , safe walk through the fields across dunes and you are on the beach which is empty on early morning walks. Easily accessible to many popular spots along this coast by car. Thoroughly recommend this site which has cottages,2 caravans and pitches for touring vans, motorhomes or tents. Whole site is family run, very friendly owners who live on site .Loved it so much me and my friends have booked a cottage on site in a few weeks time . Thank you Helen and Paul for a lovely relaxing environment to holiday in . X

We really enjoyed our family break in Bishy Barnabee. Mark and Helen were kind enough to allow our Son plus his family and also our friends to join ourselves, and our daughter and family to join us on the Saturday. The supply of the crate for one of our dogs that had a cruciate ligament op on the Monday before our stay was very much appreciated. The grand children want to come again. You know when that happens it’s been an enjoyable stay

2 adults 3 dogs plenty of lounge room, kitchen good. Bedrooms snug if your 6 foot plus. Comfy beds. The outside area secure for dogs. Some good walks and pleasant surroundings. We used Winterton beach for walks in the dunes and a nice cafe. Excellent fish and chips at Sea Palling.
