Guests say
Owl Barn is a charming and cosy cottage in Cromer, appreciated for its spaciousness, character, and quiet location. Guests have enjoyed the extensive book collection, thoughtful welcome pack, and the property's proximity to local attractions. While some maintenance issues have been noted, the overall experience remains positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, with clean linen and towels noted. However, some guests reported issues such as uncleaned fireplaces and cookware, which suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for being excellent, offering easy access to the Norfolk coast and local attractions, as well as providing a quiet, traffic-free environment.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with comfy bedding and a homely feel. Some guests found the seating inadequate for the number of guests the cottage can accommodate, which affects the comfort score.
While the property is well-equipped and guests enjoyed features like the fireplace, there are several reports of maintenance issues such as broken shower doors, problematic washing machines, and inaccessible gardens due to lock issues.
The provision of a welcome pack with essentials like bread, eggs, milk, and butter is a thoughtful touch that guests appreciated. It should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottage it’s self is warm and cozy but so many issues. We had to descale both shower heads as hardly any water coming through. The upstairs shower door was broken. Fireplace hadn’t been cleaned out from previous people. Cooking pans and trays were rusty burnt and dirty. Washing machine doesn’t work properly. Linen and towels were clean but duvet’s and pillows need replacing. I could go on!!!The cottage sleeps six but only a small 3 seater sofa and chair we had to use garden chairs to sit on in the evenings. It’s a shame as cottage could be made really good. I have tried to connect the owner as apparently she doesn’t live local but she hasn’t returned my calls and if she is not told of the problems she is not able to sort the issues
