In all honesty, we’d be hard pressed to top what Owners Cate and Fergus have said themselves about their gorgeous self-catering barns in East Beckham, near to Holt and Sheringham:
“Our holiday cottages are tucked away in rolling countryside close to the wild North Norfolk coast. Decorated in a fresh relaxed style, the cottages are ideal for lively children, romantic couples and all lovers of a slower way of life.
Within minutes you could be building sandcastles on an award-winning beach, snug by the fire of a foodie pub, checking out the vibrant arts scene, spotting wildlife on a windy salt marsh or day-dreaming with a book and a glass of wine.
We moved here to make things, grow stuff and raise free-range children and animals. If you like rural England, and want a place to unwind and revive, we think this is the place to be.”
The Barn House holiday cottages currently consist of two barns (with a third on the way), named after two of Cate and Fergus’s favourite local beaches, Salthouse and Overstrand.
Both are equipped to an exceedingly high standard and are wonderfully family friendly, without compromising on style. Inside you’ll find all manner of mod cons and thoughtful additions to ensure that, rain or shine, your holiday in North Norfolk is relaxing and fun.
Salthouse has one king-sized bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a spacious open plan living area (with sofa bed and space for a cot). Distinctive design touches include the floorboards, reclaimed from a Victorian school and the door lintel, which is a chunk of greenheart that was once part of a coastal breakwater.
Overstrand cottage has two adjoining bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor by the front door (perfect for ushering in sandy children). Behind the cottage is a gated area of decking that overlooks the garden.
If you are travelling with children, you’ll love the little extras like the toy box packed with Lego, Duplo and finger puppets, the BPA-free toddler-friendly cutlery, the child-safe hobs, the high chairs, bed guards and even a pushchair for guests use. Having children of their own, Cate and Fergus are in a great position to know what one desperately needs, but always forgets when going on family holidays. Brilliant.
Guests sans-children will appreciate the welcome pack, flowers and wine on arrival, the free WiFi, outside table & chairs, BBQ and enough wine glasses to welcome friends.
Guests staying at Barn House Holidays Cottages have full use of the garden.
Tariffs from £430 – £790 (Salthouse, 7 nights), £490 – £890 (Overstrand, 7 nights). Short breaks (3/4 nights) are also available.
