Property code: OC-1558

The village of Blakeney is a gem on the North Norfolk Heritage Coast and lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The North Norfolk Coast Path runs along its quayside, while its flint cottages and narrow streets never fail to charm visitors. Keen bird-watchers flock to the area due to the salt marshes which border the village. Cley Marshes Visitor Centre is 2 miles away. There is a seal colony at Blakeney Point, which you can visit on boat trips out from the quay. If you prefer staying on dry land but still want to be beside the sea, you can head to Wells-next-the-Sea (9 miles) or Holkham (10 miles).

Fresh and welcoming, this property has wooden floors throughout. The sitting room invites you to spend sociable evenings chatting around the wood burner-effect electric fire, curled up on the comfy sofas. While relaxing, why not pop on a DVD or catch up with your favourite TV show? Books and games are also on hand for the quieter moments during your Norfolk adventure. Just off the sitting room is the kitchen/dining room. This large, inviting space is perfect for everyone to gather in and enjoy a pre-dinner drink while giving the chef a hand with the cooking - or tasting - when requested! Take your pick of seating as there’s a breakfast bar with stools as well as the dining table and chairs. The kitchen is kitted out with an electric cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and washer/dryer, as well as a CD Hi-Fi. Just off the dining area is the conservatory with a table and chairs, the perfect spot for a cuppa and a read. A cloakroom with WC completes the downstairs. On the first floor, two bedrooms promise a refreshing and invigorating night’s sleep: one is king-size, and the other has twin beds. Sloping ceilings add character to both, and both have built-in wardrobes. When it’s time to freshen up, the cool, crisp bathroom awaits, with a shower over the bath, heated towel rail and WC.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Cleanliness of the cottage was second to none. We did not start the car for the entire week. Lovely walks along the coastal paths and the coast hopper busses were a great asset. Will definitely be back.

The cottage is lovely.. Warm and cosy but spacious and the sunny garden with sheltered day bed and table is a bonus. Blakeney is charming and we loved North Norfolk. Welcome pack wine and biscuits, and a very good coffee machine were most appreciated.

The house is a delight and more spacious than we expected. Everything was spotless and well thought out. We had limited use of the outside facilities due to pretty dire weather for June, but the garden was perfect. Would love to come back but it is a long haul by car from Ayrshire.

The cottage is great and equipped with all that you need. It is very warm and clean. The approach was generous in terms of extras (eg washing tablets/tea/coffee) which made it stand out from others we have rented. The location is perfect for Blakeney. We would stay again.

Every aspect was very good, the only reason comfort was marked down is due to both of us being tall, and bending over slightly at the main bedroom dorma window. Not a criticism just how it was.

Easy to use website. Property was excellent and the photos online don't actually do the property justice as the cottage is more roomier than the pictures depict. Accesories in cottage were plentiful and of the higest standard. Cleaner came to introduce herself and give us a contact point. Brilliant!
