Location

Blakeney

Formerly a port, is a picturesque village ideally placed for exploring the wonderful North Norfolk coast.  Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the area provides an ideal location whether you are holidaying as a family or having a romantic ‘just for two’ getaway. There are excellent opportunities locally for sailing, power boating, fishing, swimming, bird watching, cycling, walking, golf, tennis and so much more.  The coastal path can be viewed from the house and a trip to Blakeney Point to see the seals and birds in this nature reserve is a must.

The Blakeney Hotel, The Moorings Bistro, Two Magpies Bakery and newly refurbished Manor Hotel are all less than 100 metres away from the house, as is the high street with its deli, gift shops, galleries and The White Horse.

A scenic stroll across the quayside takes you to the well stocked supermarket, fishmonger, another pub/restaurant, The Kings Head and the Flint Art Gallery.  From April to September, refreshment caravans on the quayside sell crab and prawn sandwiches, tea, coffee and cakes. On most Fridays you can climb to the top of the tower at Blakeney parish church. Visitors of all ages love crabbing from the quayside and we can provide the very important crabbing buckets and lines for children (and adults!) to enjoy.
