Barley Cottage
The cottage is one of eight terraced cottages converted from the original Maltings building and its attractive flint and brick exterior is complimented by the wealth of exposed beams inside. The cottage comfortably sleeps 5/6 in three bedrooms (linen/towels included) and is well equipped and furnished.
​The cottage is rated 4 Star Gold by Visit England and is inspected annually. We were delighted to be awarded the Rose Award in 2022 in recognition of service excellence.
We regret we are unable to accommodate pets and the cottage is
​non smoking.

​​Facilities Overview

Guest Review - October 2024

Just to let you know that we have all enjoyed our stay at your extremely comfortable cottage. Everything we needed was here.
We loved all the shops, the beach at Brancaster, the picnic at the Crab Hut, the light railway and crabbing off the Quay at Wells! Lots of memories made. Too many of Mable's sweets eaten.
