Williams Barn - a self catering cottage that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms
Williams Barn is tucked away but perfectly placed for all that's good about beautiful north Norfolk with its unspoilt beaches, rolling countryside and charming towns and villages.
Detached barn with an abundance of period features throughout including exposed beams, exposed brickwork and vaulted ceilings. Can sleep up to 10 guests, with sleeping, living, dining and kitchen spaces on the ground floor. Five bedrooms including double master bedroom and ground floor double bedrooms with en-suite facilities. Two further twin bedrooms on the first floor.
Situated in the tranquil village of West Beckham, the barn is just a few miles from the smart Georgian town of Holt (4 miles) and the pleasant seaside towns of Sheringham (4 miles) and Cromer (7 miles) – a walk on the beach will soon blow the cobwebs away! The village has its own excellent public inn just a stone's throw away.
Well-behaved dogs are very welcome by prior arrangement, but we ask that they are kept off beds and furniture – please bring your best friend's bed with you.
Please not that this property is perfect for a tranquil stay with family and friends, but is not suitable for stag or hen weekends.

Wonderful

This property is amazing. It was perfect for our stay. The lounge seated everyone comfortably and the kitchen is just stunning and perfect for a social family weekend. The location is amazing and unless you stay at the pub you can't get much closer. The food there is fab by the way.The check in process could not be easier and the welcome basket was lovely. It was so nice the heating was on as well when we arrived.The bedrooms are all a lovely size and there are plenty of bathrooms. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!!
Wonderful family home, spacious and warm, clean and well furnished. We stayed in the winter so didn’t use the garden but the outside space looked so inviting too. Beds were adequate and we embraced the creaking floorboards throughout the upstairs as a feature of an older property.

Amazing Stay
We had a great stay at William’s Barn. The facilities were brilliant. The barn is so spacious and has more than enough room for 10 people. The garden is so well kept and is huge, great for dogs. The only thing I would say is the attention to detail with cleaning could have been slightly better, the kitchen cupboards were a little dirty with crumbs in and behind the sofa needed a good hoover.
8 of us stayed for 3 nights. The property was very spacious with the kitchen area being the focal point for most of the time there. The aga was very handy too! We were close to Holt, Sheringham and Cromer for daytime walks. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our time in West Beckham and Williams barn.

Excellent accommodation in rural Norfolk
We have just finished a lovely week at this superb property in West Beckham. It had so much space for our large family with comfortable beds and we just loved the huge kitchen/dinning room. The lounge was great and the log fire made it so cosy in the evenings. Massive garden was also a bonus. The location is rural, but Sheringham and Cromer are very close, and it is a short drive from the coast. Hopefully we will return.
Great property for family week with youngest 7 and oldest 70.Plenty of space ,well furnished and equipped.Very clean.Parking for at 5 cars at least.Only 3 miles from coast.Good food pub 3 mins walk away.Would recommend

Beautiful barn conversion
We had a wonderful time at William’s barn. Beautifully renovated and decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is very large and warm and a great place to catch up with friends and the garden is perfectly manicured and well maintained. The location was also great, very close to the coast as well as Holt, a lovely Georgian town with interesting shops. The village pub is almost situated opposite the property and serves hearty meals. It really was a gem of a find!

Amazing House
This barn conversion is perfect for a big family. Five comfortable bedrooms (although a little small). There is a bit of a lack of curtains and blinds in the properly so maybe worth packing an eye mask. Also the floorboards are very noisy. The kitchen is incredible though and we had a really lovely week staying there whilst exploring North Norfolk.

Long weekend for family birthday celebration
The barn is set in beautiful grounds which are superbly landscaped. The standard is not matched on the interior but the place is clean and can comfortably cater to 10 people in terms of kitchen and lounge areas. The bedroom and bathroom facilities are lacking, with limited or no wardrobe hanging spaces or mirrors and a bathroom on the mid floor shared by 3 separate bedrooms and no dedicated shower (just a hand held attached to bath that you cannot stand up in due to low ceiling) so 10 guests were sharing 2 master bathrooms in the downstairs bedrooms which was manageable for a weekend but not ideal, especially given the price.
Overall we enjoyed the shared spaces very much and the wheatsheaf pub over the road was convenient given the extremely late check in time of 4.30pm! We also found the printed cards on our beds instructing that we strip them and bag up laundry before the strict 10am departure a bit much having come to get away from day to day chores!

Lovely barn conversion with everything you need.
We stayed at Williams Barn for the weekend in august, the house suited our multi generational family perfectly (ages 18months to 86years & 2 dogs). The house has plenty of parking and gorgeous gardens, it’s opposite a very local pub (wouldn’t necessarily recommend for dinner but don’t let that put you off… we are big foodies) but also within 10/15 mins of a number of towns, amenities, and beaches. The house itself has two downstairs bedrooms, both with en-suite, a fantastically cosy lounge with Woodburner, handy utility with wine fridge and washer/dryer, downstairs loo and large kitchen with gorgeous aga (which as expected is off at this time of year). Upstairs there are two smaller bedrooms, one larger bedroom and a bathroom (with a bath only). We would have loved the beds to be slightly bigger only because it’s what we’re used to, a shower upstairs would be handy and some cooking oil supplied would have been fantastic, and it’s first house we have stayed in that we have had to strip our own beds, but this is being really picky and only pointers for improvement if desired.

An amazing barn conversion close to Sheringham
Williams Barn was perfect for our party of 6 adults, one teenager and two children, 4 and 6.
The grounds to property are vast and much bigger than is shown in the photographs on the web site.
Inside the "barn" there is loads of space, each bedroom is big and so is the lounge. The kitchen is enormous and very well fitted out with lots of glasses, plates etc, cutlery, pots and pans. The only issue we had is that there is an AGA in the kitchen and we never found out how to switch it off and so had to keep opening the windows to let the heat out. We felt guilty for wasting all that oil it was burning all the time.
The pub across the road did nice food and good beer too.
We spent most days on Sheringham beach and were thankful that we booked a beach hut for the week from the council. It was fairly spartan but was useful for storing all the guff that you need for a beach holiday, Like body boards, beach towels, swimming costumes etc. Sheringham isn't the best beach on the Norfolk coast, but it does have good waves for surfing on body boards, which the kids really enjoyed.
We would definitely book Williams Barn again another year.
