Burnham Market

Largest of the Burnham Villages its picturesque and quintessential centre clusters around the village green surrounded by fine Georgian houses and a wealth of shops, eateries and galleries. A great place to shop for supper, stroll, relax, sit awhile or indulge in retail therapy. With food, restaurants, recreational activities and footpaths you can truly leave the car in the cottage car park.  

The Village

The village prides itself on the fantastic range and individuality of its stores - clothes, bespoke design jewellers, furnishings and gifts are well as bookshops, newsagents, post office, small art galleries and antiques are all nestled within the village. Ladies looking for a special occasion hat need go no further than climbing the stairs of the famous Hat Shop for an amazing array of designs and colours. Sadly, the village no longer boasts two banks but you can use the post office and many of the local shops to get cashback.

Eating In

​This is made easy with an excellent Butcher (Howells) and Fishmongers (Gurney) as well as Humble Pie and Tuscan Farm Shop Delis for those special treats and meals. Uttings (Hardware) has fruit, veg, bread and small dairy items whilst Howells have local veg/fruit stalls outside the shop.  Day to day necessities are equally well catered for with both Burnham Market Stores and the Station Stores on the village edge. Leading supermarkets will deliver but with such a variety of fantastic local produce on the cottage doorstep it is good to support the local economy.

Guest Review - August 2024

We 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 are 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!
