Escape to this smart holiday home in the pretty coastal village of Blakeney to enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms, this stylish home is ideal for small families or groups of friends who want to discover the stunning Norfolk coast together. Spend happy days strolling along the harbour or wildlife-watching in the marshes; and in the evening come home to the cottage to enjoy an al fresco dinner in the large garden.

Step inside and you’ll find an entrance area with a cloakroom for storing all your outdoor gear. Make your way to the living room – a sophisticated space that’s bathed in a beautiful palette of soft greys – to slip onto the sofa by the electric fire. When it’s time to eat, head to the chic, open-plan kitchen to rustle up some dinner. Enjoy a sociable meal at the sleek breakfast bar, or head through the French doors in the living room to dine alfresco in the garden. After dinner, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the stars come out, or head back to the living room to stretch out in front of your favourite TV show. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find two gorgeous bedrooms upstairs – a double and a twin. The twin can be made up as a double on request.

Less than a mile from this stylish cottage you can join the North Norfolk Coastal Path – so grab your hiking boots and trek the gorgeous 7.5-mile trail to the pretty port town of Wells-Next-the-Sea. The birdwatching in the marshes along the way is first rate, and during July and August the marshes are a beautiful sea of lavender. Alternatively, head to Blakeney Point (5.5 miles) to hop on a boat and sail out to see the local seals.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 king-size, 1 twin with zip-and-link beds, can be made into a king-size on request

Glaven Retreat is just outside the main part of Blakeney Village tucked away in the midst of a housing estate but still within 15 minutes walk of the quay. As a new build property it lacks character but this is more than made up for by the quality of the appliances, furnishings and so on. The enclosed garden is excellent.

Perfect for us with parking right outside the door. The unit has plenty of space, heated up beautifully and was just a short walk to the pubs etc of Blakeney. A fairly new build it was modern and comfortable inside and, if the weather had been kinder to us, it also has a large outdoors area.
