For our five night stay at Honey Barrel Cottage in Stiffkey, we were extremely pleased with our choice of accommodation and its location in a beautiful part of North Norfolk. The cottage certainly lived up to our expectations, both in its quaintness and character, being typical of the area. The accommodation was very clean and provided all the provisions one would need when self catering; there was even basic food stuffs and complementary milk and biscuits. A very cosy place to stay, set within a courtyard surrounded by other individual flint cottages, this was perfect to soak up the atmosphere of this area of outstanding natural beauty. The weather was not the best during our break, but we did have some nice cosy nights in with our dog. There are some lovely walks around the village, as well as those along the coastal marshes. Evidently, the management of the holiday accommodation by Norfolk stay was very good indeed and everything from the ease of booking through to arrival went smoothly. Just two very minor points of constructive criticism are, the garden vegetation along the path needed some pruning maintenance to prevent wet clothes after rain when walking through, plus just for presentation reasons, the garden furniture was in need of re-varnishing. All in all, we would definitely recommend a stay at Honey Barrel Cottage, if North Norfolk is on your radar for a holiday break



A delightful cottage

We had another wonderful stay at Honey Barrel Cottage. It provides you with everything you need. The weather was cold and windy so we enjoyed evenings in front of the wood burning stove watching some great films from the dvd collection. We slept well in the comfortable bed. The garden is totally secure for our dog and nicely sheltered from the wind. Stiffkey Stores is superb and only a short walk away.

Cottage full of charm and character, stairs not ideal but we managed ok. We have stayed in many B&B and cottages up and down uk, have yet to find a shower with room and decent pressure. The cottage was clean and comfortable.

Lovely quaint little cottage, very well positioned for exploring the beaches, marshes and woodland walks in the area.

Comfortable and cosy. Great value for money.

The cottage was perfectly placed to explore our location. We walked to Wells during lovely weather and tackled Moreston on a lovely sunny day. The cottage was the ideal place to return to to cook our dinner and relax fir the evening.



Happy Holiday

Cottage as described, and lovelier than expected. Quiet, despite the proximity of the road.
Yup, stairs steep & shallow, but good handrail.
Location, cottage & garden space suited us two, and our dog, very well. All positive.




Great location

Nice cottage in excellent location. The stairs are very steep which is in the description however they are made quite dangerous as they are painted in a gloss type paint which makes them slippery, you need to take socks off and go one step at a time. There is damp in the main sitting room with paint coming off the walls. The cottage was clean but needs attention when you open the windows.

Hello Karl Thank you so much for taking to the time to review Honey Barrel Cottage. Your feedback is so important to us. We do appreciate the stairs in the cottage, like so many of that age along the coast, are steep and winding. We do make this clear on the advert and for this reason we say its not really suitable for children. Thank you for letting us know about the damp in the main sitting room. I will pass this information on to the owner. I am pleased to hear that on the whole you liked the cottage and enjoyed the location. We do hope you come and stay with us again. Kind Regards

Wow,, worth going again . Weather was hot hot !

Honey Barrel Cottage was the perfect location for our week long stay on the north Norfolk coats with our dog. The cottage is small but just the right size for the three of us. Living in a very old house, as we do, we're well accustomed to and appreciative of the quirks that come with period properties. We very much hope Honey Barrel will become our go-to accommodation whenever we're up in neighbouring Norfolk.
