This lovely family cottage in Blakeney is available for rent. We are a family of six who have been holidaying in this idyllic village for forty years. Blakeney has been described as 'the Chelsea of North Norfolk' - ideal for those interested in sailing, walking, bird-watching, cycling and golf. It is famous for its narrow winding streets and traditional brick and flintcottages and houses. The picturesque quaysideis a 300 yard walk from the cottage, and givesaccess to many acres of marshland now owned by the National Trust.

The well proportioned brick and flint period cottage dates from 1890 and its walls are typical Norfolk flint. The semi-detached cottage has three double bedrooms, open landing, bathroom, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and sitting room with wood burning stove. It is well furnished and equipped with all that you should need (including crab-fishing lines and a grand piano!) for a restful break.

Blakeney is a popular sailing centre with a safe estuary protected by the famous Blakeney Point. You can sail from Blakeney (or nearby Morston) to land for a well-earned cup of tea on Blakeney Point. Regular motor-boat trips leave the quay and land on Blakeney Point and visit the seal colonies nearby. The old Georgian former market town of Holt is approximately 5 miles inland and offers some of the best shopping in North Norfolk.

The un-spoilt, pretty coastal village of Cley Next-the-sea is a few miles to the east, and the famous Cley Windmill is one of Norfolk's best known landmarks.

There are a variety of shops in Blakeney including a supermarket (open on Sunday mornings), butcher, chandlers, clothing & gift-shops, as well as several craft shops with original water-colours for sale. At one end of the Quay is the splendid eighteenth century King's Arms inn. At the other end of the Quay the grassy knoll of Mariners Hill gives superb views over the salt marshes to Blakeney Point, and the narrow High Street winds up to St Nicholas' church on the coast road.
