The Old Beams

Set just a short walk from the Stiffkey marshes and village amenities with frontal views over the Stiffkey Valley, this charming period cottage will give you a true feeling of a cosy Norfolk Cottage!

The Old Beams is believed to originally be a fisherman’s cottage dating back to the middle of the 18th century with internal features including exposed oak timbers, pamment tile floors, and cedar wood floorboards. It underwent complete refurbishment in 2007 – 2008 and has been decorated and furnished to a high standard throughout with everything that you require for an extremely comfortable ‘home from home’ stay.
