Bishy Barney Bee

About the property

Deep within King Edward VIII Wood, far from any roads, sits a shepherd’s hut with a delightfully quirky name. The Bishy Barney Bee offers a perfect blend of solitude and luxury that’s rare to find.

This romantic hideaway sits on the edge of a magnificent forest canopy of beech and elm trees. Early risers might spot red deer grazing in the morning mist across the arable fields, while nature enthusiasts will love the adjacent Norfolk Wildlife Trust land – don’t forget your binoculars!

The covered veranda is truly special, featuring a luxurious double-ended bath where you can soak under the stars with your favourite bubbles. The outdoor kitchen comes fully equipped with a combi oven, perfect for alfresco dining. After dinner, gather around the gas fire pit or slip into your private wood-fired hot tub for the ultimate relaxation experience.

Inside, the hut is a cosy haven decorated in rich crimson and dramatic black. The king-size bed promises peaceful nights, complete with soft throws for added comfort. A wood-burning stove keeps things toasty, while modern touches include a built-in sound system and a 20-inch TV for those lazy mornings in bed.

The bathroom impresses with its large walk-in shower, heated towel rail, and illuminated mirror. Every detail has been carefully considered, right down to the complimentary toiletries and welcome pack waiting for your arrival.

Fancy a walk? Thompson’s Water is just a mile away along the Peddar’s Way path – perfect for watching the sunrise. The village pub is within walking distance too, offering local ales and hearty Norfolk fare. For extra indulgence, guests enjoy complimentary access to the Wilderness Spa’s natural swimming pool, nestled under mature trees nearby.

This adults-only retreat (over 16s only) offers the perfect escape from the world, whether you’re stargazing from your outdoor bath or cosy by the wood burner. At Bishy Barney Bee, luxury meets wilderness in the most enchanting way.
