Blakeney, located in the East of England, is a serene coastal village nestled along the North Norfolk coast, renowned for its picturesque quay on the tidal River Glaven. This charming destination offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and local attractions, making it an ideal getaway for families and nature enthusiasts. Visitors can embark on boat trips to the nearby Blakeney Point nature reserve to observe seals in their natural habitat or indulge in leisurely riverside walks leading to the sea. For those looking for a more interactive experience, crabbing remains a beloved pastime, providing a relaxing way to engage with the tranquil waters.
The village boasts a variety of dining options, including a coffee shop, two inviting pubs, and a delightful delicatessen that features freshly baked goods, perfect for assembling a seaside picnic. At the heart of this idyllic setting is a Grade II listed cottage that exudes charm and comfort. Upon entering, guests are greeted by beamed ceilings and stylish furnishings that create a welcoming atmosphere. The lounge, with its large bay window and window seat, offers stunning views of the quay, along with a TV and Blu-ray player for evening relaxation.
The cottage's kitchen/diner is tastefully designed in a country style and equipped with modern amenities, including a Range cooker, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, alongside a dining table that comfortably seats eight. A door from the kitchen leads to Mariners Hill, where guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the estuary while sipping tea or wine during sunset. The ground floor also features a newly added cloakroom for convenience, while wooden stairs lead to the first floor, which houses three recently refurbished bedrooms. Two of these are inviting double rooms, one of which includes an en suite, and a single room that can accommodate an additional pull-out bed, allowing up to six guests to stay comfortably.
Completing the cottage's offerings is a modern bathroom equipped with a power shower over the bath and additional features like demisting mirrors.
