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 through Quality in Tourism. We regret we are unable to accommodate pets and the cottage is non smoking.

​​Facilities Overview

Guest Review - July 2019

"We have once again returned to Barley Cottage because everything is convenient and the surroundings very pretty and pleasant. It’s so very easy to ‘chill out’ in this well presented, spacious cottage where nothing is left to chance, (such a well equipped kitchen!).

​The location is ideal, a two minute stroll from the heart of the village and great places to eat. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a change from the bustle and stress of life."
