Escape to Blakeney in the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and stay at this beautiful flint-clad cottage, where a warm welcome awaits a couple or small family with a homely atmosphere, a cracking wood burner in the cosy lounge and a shared courtyard garden for al fresco dining moments.

Formerly part of the village bakery, step into the kitchen/diner, equipped with a dining table for four and everything you need for a stress-free self-catering stay. This space opens up to a lounge, complete with a wood burner, comfortable seating and a TV/DVD player. Cottage-style stairs lead to the first floor, where you'll find two inviting bedrooms finished in soft neutral tones – a peaceful double room and a serene single room featuring a rocking chair by the window, perfect for relaxing with a book or reading a bedtime story to little ones. The gleaming shower room completes the internal layout. At the rear of the property, enjoy a shared shingled courtyard with a picnic table and bench, ideal for outdoor dining and drinks at the end of the day.

Indulge in leisurely strolls along the river leading to the coast, or join one of the seal-spotting boat trips departing from the village quay, which head west towards the nearby National Trust nature reserve. The village itself boasts a variety of shops, including a delightful deli offering a wide selection of fine foods and wines. Just 9 miles to the west lies the enchanting town of Wells-next-the-Sea, a favourite among holidaymakers, featuring a picturesque harbour and a stunning sandy beach lined with vibrant beach huts.

A small, comfortable cottage right on Blakeney High St with the huge benefit of parking in the courtyard at the rear, where there is a picnic table for the sole use of the cottage. Comfortable sofas, modern tv, central heating, with a wood burner for cold weather. A very well equipped kitchen and new appliances. Highly recommended.

Great location, but accommodation needs some tlc to upgrade a little and the stove proved difficult despite us being used to using one. Well stocked kitchen with utensils and crockery etc but no washing machine was noticable given the weather we had (sadly) and would be a valuable addition. Lovely village with fabulous access to pubs, restaurants aRead morend shops. 5 stars for location! Hide

Good location, good value for money, carparking limited but manageable. Some adjoining property noise heard but not disruptive. Key safe wouldn't open easily several times, which was a bit worrying . Hoping to come back.
