A quintessential Norfolk experience awaits at this gorgeous brick-and-flint cottage located in Blakeney, a picturesque village on the heritage coast. Nature lovers, keen walkers and bird-watchers are well catered for here, with an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty engulfing the village and the coastal path accessible from the quay (0.5 miles). With space for up to four guests, this attractive semi is perfect for a family holiday or trip with friends.

This traditional family home has been renovated to an exceptional standard, with a spacious open-plan living area comprising a modern kitchen, dining room and cosy lounge. A wood-burner effect electric fire is on hand to keep you warm, while the TV, DVD and book selection ensure you stay entertained. Whatever the weather, you can drink tea, chat or read in the light-filled conservatory, or perch at the breakfast bar as you conjure up a plan for the day ahead. The large garden will be popular in fine weather, with a good-sized lawn and furnished patio that’s ideal for pre-dinner drinks and al fresco meals.

Blakeney is a gorgeous place to while away an afternoon, with its charming traditional buildings and atmospheric narrow streets. Wander along the high street to find shops, cafes and pubs within 0.5 miles, and head to the nature reserve for excellent walking and wildlife viewing opportunities. You can take seal-watching trips from the quay and, at the Cley Marshes Visitor Centre (2 miles), discover more about the local fauna and flora. If it’s a beach kind of a day, head to Salthouse (4 miles) or Wells-next-the-Sea (8 miles), which both have stunning shorelines and exceptional coastal landscapes.

A very nice, extremely clean and comfortable cottage that is well placed for accessing Blakeney and the wider area. A spacious cottage (certainly for two!) with an excellent layout. All the rooms were a good and practicable size for us. A big bonus is that there is allocated off-road parking next to the cottage as parking is, generally, at a premiuRead morem in Blakeney. We found the kitchen and appliances were very clean and ideal for self-catering with well-ordered crockery, utensils, etc. There was plenty of uncluttered cupboard space for our own items and the fridge / freezer was a good size. All the necessary self-catering items (like clean towels, tea towels, sponges, washing-up cloths, washing-up liquid, dishwasher tablets, etc.) were to hand. We will certainly revisit! Hide

Our second stay at Mallard Cottage. It is very well kept and provides everything you need. All was absolutely clean. We felt very welcome and really home from home. Thank you for the flowers and the welcome pack. Weve enjoyed our stay very much and have already booked for next year.

We would highly recommend Mallard Cottage. It is well located in Blakeney with the benefit of its own parking space and a 5 minute walk to the quay. It is a real home from home, very well equipped, clean, comfortable and with lots of little extras provided such as dishwasher tablets and kitchen roll. A lot of thought has gone into making this holidRead moreay home a great place for an easy and enjoyable stay. We hope to return to Mallard Cottage next time we holiday in North Norfolk. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Cleanliness of the cottage was second to none. We did not start the car for the entire week. Lovely walks along the coastal paths and the coast hopper busses were a great asset. Will definitely be back.

The cottage is lovely.. Warm and cosy but spacious and the sunny garden with sheltered day bed and table is a bonus. Blakeney is charming and we loved North Norfolk. Welcome pack wine and biscuits, and a very good coffee machine were most appreciated.

Karen looks after Mallards Cottage so well, it is so clean and well kept - thank you Karen. We have stayed at Mallards 16 times, another week booked for early September this year. Such a good location and very peaceful.

The house is a delight and more spacious than we expected. Everything was spotless and well thought out. We had limited use of the outside facilities due to pretty dire weather for June, but the garden was perfect. Would love to come back but it is a long haul by car from Ayrshire.
