Leave ReviewA great place to stay close to the the centre of Burnham Market
By Murray Anderson-Wallace on 28-Mar-2025A very comfortable cottage with very convenient private parking near the centre of Burnham Market. Great access to the North Norfolk coast and surrounded by excellent places to eat and drink. We especially rated The Victoria at Holkham, the Duck at Stanhoe and the White Horse at Brancaster Staithe (need to book at least a week ahead to get a table in the restaurant with a view of the sunset over the marshes) - Excellent communications with the hosts, Sue & Andrew, and everything we needed for a really pleasant break. We will be back I'm sure.
Wonderful place to stay, central to North Norfolk
By Trisha Carroll on 24-Jan-2025This is the 4th time we have stayed at Barley Cottage. As always it was lovely and clean and cosy with everything needed for a break away. This is the only place we return to time and time again!
Wonderful cosy cottage
By Diana and Mike on 29-Nov-2024Barley Cottage was the perfect base for a December break in Burnham Market. Cosy and beautifully equipped with everything you could need for a great holiday, we loved seeing the village Christmas lights and admiring seasonal celebrations at various National Trust properties. The weather was erratic so it was always lovely to come “home” to our welcoming cottage.
A wonderful place to stay in North Norfolk
By Hans Peters on 30-Aug-2024Dear Sue and Andrew. We’ve had 2 wonderful weeks in your beautiful cottage. In the many years that we've rented holiday homes in the UK, we have never seen such a complete cottage, everything was there, we lacked nothing. The cottage is very quiet and yet only a few steps from the market place, with many nice shops and excellent food stores. We’ve made nice trips along the coast and beautiful walks, also from the cottage to the seaside and the weather was great. Thank you also for the good contact that we've had during the booking period and during our stay. Hans & Rita Peters Holland
Lovely clean cottage in a great location
By Natalie McGann on 19-Aug-2024We booked a last minute stay at Barley Cottage. The owners sent us all the need to know information very promptly and were available if needed during our stay. The cottage was clean and the perfect size and location for our family trip. There is 2 good sized off road parking spaces. A gated well kept garden. The cottage is well equipped for self catering. Our kids were loving the park which is a 1 minute walk down the road. Us adults loved the local pub, coffee shop, book and clothes shops 3 minutes walk away. We have already recommended this cottage to others and will definitely be back!
Excellent Choice
By Annette Stansfield from Leeds on 16-May-2021We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Barley Cottage which is ideally situated in a quiet street, very close to the centre of buzzy Burnham Market. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful in making sure the cottage suited our needs and encouraging us to discover the best of North Norfolk, on foot, by car and through eating excellent local fish and vegetables, mostly bought in the village. They have developed their own excellent website, brim-full of useful tips. The cottage is comfortable and welcoming, with a newly fitted and well-equipped kitchen. It has a well-planned garden with plenty of seating and scope for outdoor meals. It faces out onto a shared green, sheltered by silver birch so is not overlooked. An excellent choice for our first visit to Norfolk. We’d love to return!
