The Beekeeper's Cottage, located in the quaint village of Barney, Norfolk, is a beautifully renovated 18th-century bakehouse that serves as a perfect retreat for couples or families. With a capacity to sleep four, this charming cottage is nestled near the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal getaway at any time of the year. The property features an enclosed garden and secure bike storage, accommodating guests who wish to bring their pets along for the stay.
Renovated to a high standard in 2022, the cottage boasts a sophisticated country style highlighted by exposed beams, a traditional inglenook fireplace, and a calming color palette. The interior is designed with a mix of antique and restored furniture, creating a relaxed and ultra-comfortable atmosphere. Key features include a streamlined galley kitchen equipped with ample Quartz worktop space, making it perfect for cooking with local produce, and two separate seating areas, including a cozy sitting room and a garden room with views of the lawn.
The dining room comfortably seats four around a farmhouse table, while the ground floor also hosts a contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower. A unique carved tree branch handrail guides guests to the first floor, which features two well-appointed bedrooms: a master bedroom with a double bed and original oak beams, and a second bedroom with full-size twin beds dressed in fine linen. A convenient water closet is located between the two bedrooms for added convenience.
Outside, the cottage offers a garden area with seating for al fresco dining, and the enclosed garden is a safe space for pets to play. Off-road parking is available for one car, with additional parking options on the village road. The cottage also includes a secure bike shed for cycling enthusiasts looking to explore the picturesque surroundings.
Barney is a peaceful village that provides access to North Norfolk's stunning coastline and scenic walks, while the nearby Georgian town of Holt features a variety of delightful eateries and independent shops. Guests are welcome to bring one small to medium well-behaved dog for an additional charge, and amenities such as a travel cot and high chair are available upon request. Guests should bring their own linen for the travel cot and standard pods for the Nespresso coffee machine, while pillows and duvets are made from synthetic fibers for comfort.
