Dog Friendly - Peacock Barn is a bright and open plan property offering those with dogs a great base to explore the Wisbech and the Norfolk area. This eco self-catering cottage has 3 bedrooms and can sleep 6 persons, 5 plus dogs welcome. Nestled within 4 acres, you'll find a lake (with fish always eager to be fed), a firepit with free wood, two BBQs, picnic tables, and fruit trees. We offer a petting zoo full of friendly animals, bath an emu, collect your own eggs from resident hens, guinea fowl and ducks safe (we ask that dogs stay on a lead whenever they're out in the grounds). 

Peacock Barn

Having been constructed to a high standard in 2000, the property is the ideal space for a relaxed holiday with a dog. Offering a spacious kitchen and large centre island for food preparing, there is a dining table for six, two leather sofas, and double doors onto a slate patio. Beds are made up upon arrival. There is Underfloor heating throughout the property which is supplied by an Eco air source heat pump and solar panels to help offset the cost. It means so cosy in winter and low-impact year-round. Sleeps 6 across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one with a bath and toilet, one with a shower and toilet).

The grounds — There are four acres of grounds and your private petting zoo but please keep dogs on a lead within our grounds.

If you love animals, then this place is for you.

Four acres of Norfolk countryside, all yours to roam. The animals are the headline:

• Emmet the emu (famously dopy, loves a hose-down) and his two female companions, in their own paddock •
• Peacocks roaming the grounds — yes, that’s where the name comes from
• Guinea fowl with absolutely no road sense
• Ouessant sheep — the smallest breed in the world • Hens and ducks whose eggs you’re welcome to collect for breakfast
• Our Shetland sheepdog and two papillons (mum and daughter), who will adore any attention going

There’s a lake (with fish always eager to be fed), a firepit with free wood, two BBQs, picnic tables, and fruit trees; blackcurrants, gooseberries, plums, apples and pears in season. Pick what you like.

We’re always happy to walk you round — collecting eggs, feeding the sheep, hosing down the emus. Friends who’ve stayed call it “living in your own petting zoo.” For animal-loving kids it’s hard to beat.

The 1715 mill next door - We've just finished restoring the listed mill on the property. Four floors, three hundred years of history, brilliant views from the top — happy to give you a tour during your stay.
