Notes: The stairs out of the Kitchen, turn the corner and are relatively steep, in keeping with a cottage of this age and may not be suitable for people with limited mobility.

The quaint flint cottages and narrow streets, sloping down to the tidal creek, evoke Blakeney’s characterful and varied history as a medieval port and centre of smuggling and piracy and give the village a timeless quality visitors love the year round. If that isn’t enough, the village is set in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and it’s not difficult to see why – the wild salt marshes stretch out to Blakeney Point, there are seals and wild birds to see, and you’re in North Norfolk, where the sky is bigger than it is anywhere else….

This cottage exceeded expectations. It looked very recently redecorated and was lovely and clean. The location is fantastic (and very quiet, at least in March, tucked away just off the main street), with excellent restaurant and coffee shop/artisanal bakery two minutes walk away by the quay. Five minutes up the hill there is a useful free car park Read moreand a shop. The bed is comfortable, there are plenty of coat-hangers and a huge chest of drawers, and the enormous shower room with decent sized hand basin is of baronial proportions. There was everything we needed equipment-wise in the little kitchen. In the sitting room, the wifi and TV worked fine and there were books too, and a big light to read by. Plus plenty of sockets for charging devices! It was frosty outside but we were very cosy. Had the weather been warmer we would have brought our bikes - the lockable outhouse to keep them in was something we liked. We really enjoyed our stay and I'd love to come back. Hide

It's a great cottage for 2 in a lovely location. It is well equipped and, once it is warm, stays nicely warm. The stove is good but the bags of wood sold in the Spar were far too large for the 3 nights we stayed. Sadly, the pubs are pretty dull even on Friday and Saturday nights. The bakery at the bottom of the High Street is very good. The rRead moreoad is very narrowokay for a swift unload, but you can't leave the car unattended. The free car park is a good 10 minutes' walkfine if it's not raining. There is a paid car park nearer. We really enjoyed the cottage, and it's a good spot for exploring the coast. Hide

It was lovely to find wine, biscuits and tea bags waiting for us on arrival. Many thanks to the owner for that. The cottage is small but well equipped in the main. The bed was very comfortable and the shower very efficient. The small kitchenette was adequate but trying to prevent the wooden worktop from water damage became a bit of a headache givRead moreen the tiny sink. We are in our 70's but quite fit. The stairs are steep and could be problematic for anyone less fit than us. This is mentioned in the description on the website. Parking is a bit of an issue especially on arrival and departure when loading. However the car park we used which was a short walk uphill from the cottage always had space. We did have to remember to renew the parking ticket each day though (6 per day). Overall a warm, comfortable cottage within walking distance of pubs, cafes and the harbour. Hide

I highly recommend Muriel Cottage: as well as its excellent location, it's clean, comfortable, and extremely homely. The living room is very cosy (the wood-burner is a treat and very effective!) and the kitchen, although small, is well-equipped. Upstairs, the bathroom and bedroom are modern and, again, very comfortable: there is plenty of space forRead more clothes/belongings, etc. I felt very at home in the space and the owners have clearly given a lot of thought to making sure it's a welcoming, functional, and very relaxing place to stay. I visited on my own and would highly recommend it to single travellers, although there is enough space for a couple too. I'll certainly hope to return! Hide

The cottage is in an excellent location for access to the harbour and attractive local walks, bike rides,(with storage space for them,), pubs and local food outlets and for visiting other resorts. The cottage is small overall but has a spacious and modern bathroom and the kitchenette has been cleverly designed to make the best of the space.
