We had a fantastic stay at Old Church Barn. Such a lovely property in a great location for both countryside walks and the coast. The property was beautiful and the little touch of a welcome basket was really lovely. We will definitely return!

Really highly recommend Old Church Barn. The property was exceptionally clean throughout. Tastefully decorated. We had a slight issue with a plug getting stuck in one of the bathrooms. We called the owner who couldn’t have been more helpful sending her husband to fix it. Lovely location. Lovely welcome pack as well. We would definitely stay again.

Hidden Gem
This was the first time I had booked with Winterton Cottages and would definitely book again. We had two small queries before we arrived which were dealt with quickly. Old Church Barn really is a 'hidden gem.' Perfect peaceful location but such an easy walk into Winterton on Sea. The barn is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The beds were really comfortable and all equipment in the barn worked! Easy parking at front of property and lots of lovely walks so close to Old Church Barn. A perfect place to stay.

Fantastic dog friendly barn
This was our second stay at Old Church Barn and even though our last stay was in 2019, the property is still spotlessly clean, well maintained and extremely comfortable. The barn has everything you could possibly need for your holiday and you instantly feel at home. The front garden and rear courtyard are completely enclosed and dog safe. We love the quiet location of the barn opposite the church ruins, and the lovely walks directly from the property. Winterton village and beaches are only a 15 - 20 walk away.
We have also stayed in one of the owners other properties at Happisburgh, which are also stunning barn conversions.
Thank you Sue and Simon for the very generous welcome pack and for sharing your beautiful property with us.

I very rarely review goods and services; however, this accommodation deserves the attention.
With two dogs in tow, I arrived at Old Church Barn looking forward to a coffee and a sit-down. The standard, furnishing, and cleanliness of the barn is superb. Yet, despite that, it felt very welcoming. Fantastic location and well worth a short or long stay.

5 * accommodation
The owners have really excelled in providing their guests with 5* accommodation. Every thing has been thought of.
Light and airy rooms, enclosed garden and courtyard for our dogs and seating area for us to enjoy a nice glass of wine
Heating and hot water always available soft towel’s and the beds where so cosy and comfortable
Local walks and a shop just a stroll away. With the beach
All the things a holiday is about. One of the best places we have been to
Thanks Sue and Simon
Will definitely be returning

Beautiful Stay
Old Church Barn was such a lovely location for us to stay with our two staffies Nala & Luna. The walks are absolutely gorgeous & can walk for miles. The accommodation itself was lovely & was greeted by a lovely welcome basket & was very clean.
Everything had such a lovely touch to it & a lot of thought gone into the modernisation of this property & has the home from home feel to it.
Will definitely stay again next year couldn't have asked for a better holiday home to explore Winterton on Sea.

Lovely spot - highly recommended
We had a lovely week and would definitely visit again. The nearby church ruins are incredible and the accommodation is stylish, clean and comfortable. It’s also a perfect location being slightly cut off but close enough to access everything in the area. Thank you.

Beautifully restored and presented cottage.
We stayed at Old Church Barn in January and can highly recommend it. There's spacious off road parking and a 'wow' factor even before you enter. On entering and taking off our shoes, the underfloor heating was most welcome. The exposed beams and partially rendered walls are lovely and the attention to detail is exceptional. The best way I can describe it is to say that it is dressed in the way you would if it was your own home. Nothing is "that'll do, it's only a rental". If you visit between November and January, make sure you go to Horsey beach to see the seals!
We'll be back soon.

Amazing...
Had a lovely few days at Old Church Barn. Everything was perfect from start to finish, a lovely welcome gift, amazingly clean and comfortable. Owners communication was fantastic and the guide beforehand was a godsend as first timers to Norfolk. The location is great for exploring Norfolk, we had the most amazing time - visiting Great Yarmouth, Horsey to see the seals, Cromer, Norwich and a trip on the broads. We will definitely be returning.
Thank you so much.

Fab week holiday
If you are looking for a walking holiday with your dog this is ideal place to stay. The Cottage has your every need and was just lovely and clean. Lots of car free public footpaths on your doorstep and about 2km walk to the sea. Private parking area so no need to panic for a parking space and driving you are within 15/20 mins from Gt Yarmouth, Sea Pauling and Hosey Gap / NT Hosey windmill. Although we were busy we really loved our stay here and had a relaxing time. Burgh Castle and the local pub there well worth a visit too. Thank you so much to the hosts for letting us stay and discover that part of Norfolk - Loved it!

Perfect for exploring the Norfolk area . Nice enclosed garden totally dog safe . Many walks straight from the door. If you’re thinking of booking here do! You won’t regret it .
Thank you sue for a great break . Sure to return again soon

Just the best!
What a gem this lovely barn conversion was. The best holiday property we have stayed in Norfolk so far. We love Norfolk and it’s beautiful coastline and to find this stunning property made out stay even more pleasant. The owners have thought of everything and the special touches like fresh flowers I have never seen before in a holiday let and very dog friendly too with water bowls dotted around. The property was spotless too. Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful location but within walking distance to sea. It’s a 10/10 from us and our dog.
We have already now booked the owners other property in Happisburgh for our main holiday and can’t wait to see that too.
