Cottage in Norfolk

Spend a fantastic holiday in this exquisitely restored cottage which occupies a premier position in the historic village of Blakeney, set along the North Norfolk Heritage Coast and area of outstanding beauty. It is just a 2 minute walk to the quayside and the views from the cottage are amongst the best from any cottage in the village. Hop on a boat at Blakeney Quay (100 yards) or Morston Quay (1.5 miles) to see the famous seals at Blakeney Point. It s a breeding site for seals so if you go during the winter (November early January) you re likely to see the seal pups that are born there. Blakeney is also an excellent place for birdwatching. Alternatively, visitors may like to try their hand at crabbing, a perpetually popular activity with guests of all ages and rather a relaxing way to spend an afternoon by the water. Food lovers are spoilt for choice from the Michelin starred restaurant "Morston Hall" (1 mile) to an array of local pubs, restaurants and delis. For a little country exploration head inland to the Holt Country Park (7 miles) or down the coast to Sheringham Park (9 miles) away. Further away you ll find the majestic Holkham Hall & Estate.
