Part of Hill Farm Barns, the property dates back to the 1880s, and its surrounding parkland is shared with hand-fed, friendly deer which come and visit morning, noon and twilight on their way to the pond for a drink. Fallow Folly retains much of its former glory as many original features have been carefully kept or restored to create accommodation that is authentic and characterful but with all the mod-cons such as intelligent lighting and underfloor heating. The entrance leads you into a large open plan kitchen/ dining area, flanked by a huge exposed original flint wall. A double height vaulted ceiling creates both space and light and Indian stone flooring is welcomingly cool in the summer, but with under floor heating it is totally cosy for winter nights. Low level lamp light creates a relaxing atmosphere and an impressive hand-crafted antler chandelier can be switched on for the wow factor over dinner! You will also find two beautiful en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs you will find a large, spacious living room with oak beams and views over the parkland. Beyond this is the luxurious master bedroom with a Juliet balcony and super-king sized bed, plus double ended slipper bath to help you really relax.
All three of the Hill Farm Massingham barns properties can be booked individually, as a combination of two of the barns or altogether to sleep 31 people. Fallow Folly (7 people) and The Owl House (10 people) are interlinked internally, while access to Red Stag Lodge (14 people) is via outside.
There is plenty of space for a large family, a couple of small families or three couples. The well-equipped kitchen has a range cooker, Nespresso coffee machine (please bring your own pods) and wine cooler, as well as the standard dishwasher and fridge freezer and a separate utility room, with a washing machine, tumble dryer, extra sink and plenty of storage, is perfect for dumping your sandy beach gear. Popular, local gastro-pub, The Dabbling Duck, is only a short walk away too!

Mr W
Fallow Folly was clean, very well furnished with a very nice swimming pool. The area has three different barns who get allocated different times to use the pool, which worked very well. Fallow deer, Bucks and Horses roam in the adjacent fields and appeared very friendly. Our hosts Hugh and Heidi made us very welcome. So all in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend staying in this delightful setting, and we were very lucky to have had excellent weather.
Mrs M
Just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at Fallow Folly Barn which is so beautifully presented and comfortable with plenty of space to accommodate our family of six adults and a baby. The barn was spotlessly clean and the kitchen very well equipped. Heidi and Hugh were perfect hosts, very friendly and greeted us on arrival and provided a very generous welcome basket of tea, coffee, jams, bread and snacks.The swimming pool was amazing. The surrounding area was blissfully peaceful and it was wonderful to watch the deer.We would highly recommend a stay at Fallow Folly.Thank you Heidi and Hugh for sharing your amazing barns. We hope to return again.

A most welcoming well designed property full of character and creature comforts. The surrounding gardens and parkland were stunning with the deer, horses and chickens. Would definitely return.
