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.
We’ve had 2 wonderful weeks in your beautiful cottage. 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.
The cottage was clean and the perfect size and location for our family trip. There are 2 good sized off road parking spaces. Our kids were loving the park which is a 1 minute walk down the road. We have already recommended this cottage to others and will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our time in Barley cottage. It is such a lovely cottage and so well equipped, you have thought of everything. We certainly will be back! We couldn't believe we were so close to the shops etc and yet it was so quiet and peaceful.
Once again, a relaxing time at Barley Cottage. Wonderful location and the cottage had everything one needs. Home from home. Excellent walks and bird watching. Many thanks to Andrew and Sue.
Had a lovely stay at Barley Cottage. Well equipped and a great location for the RSPB Nature reserves that we love, Titchwell, Snettisham and Cley. Thank you, we will return!
