Property code: OC-NCC37

This beautiful cottage is located in a premier position on Mariners Hill in the village of Blakeney, a picturesque coastal village situated on the River Glaven estuary. There is a small but eclectic range of shops including a fantastic deli, a seaside supplies store, and a fishmonger’s selling freshly caught produce. Why not hop on board one of the seal-watching boats which take visitors out to the nearby National Trust nature reserve.

From the front door of this cottage on Mariners Hill, the first room that guests come into is the sitting room with its beamed ceiling and inglenook fireplace. From the sitting room guests can enjoy the estuary views or simply cosy up and watch a favourite programme on the TV. Doors open onto Mariners Hill which commands the finest views in Blakeney and where guests can enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine and watch the sunsets over the estuary. Moving through to the charming kitchen/diner, an attractive room with a welcoming, homely feel to it. The dining table seats eight guests, whilst the range of kitchen equipment includes a Range cooker, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. Wooden stairs from the sitting room lead up to the bedroom on the first floor, where guests will find an antique double bed, a built-in wardrobe, and a prettily-tiled feature fireplace, as well as a recently refurbished en-suite shower room with power shower and WC. The cottage also benefits from a new high pressure water system providing high pressure hot and cold water throughout and a new Monarch water softener.

In keeping with the age, character and location of the cottage, please be aware that there are a few internal steps between different rooms and some low doorways.

Outside, to the rear of the cottage there is a private sunny south-facing patio garden for which there is garden furniture provided, offering guests a pleasant spot to sit out and enjoy relaxed al fresco dining. There is unallocated roadside parking near to the cottage.

The cottage is well appointed within Blakeney. However, the numerous steps both inside and outside the property deemed it unsafe for those with mobility difficulties. For this reason I would not recommend it for those with these conditions.

A perfect cottage in almost every respect. Very comfortable, distinctively quirky, well equipped and with a wonderful view over the Quay. Very close to all amenities. The weather was poor, so we didn't make as much use of the courtyard as we would have liked but it'd be a real asset for a sunny mealtime. Comfy bed and excellent shower. The only dowRead morensides are the lack of a downstairs loo and the parking. We parked at the village hall except for unloading (on the quay). Neither a real bother. Hide

Lovely cottage and location. Very clean and tidy and warm and welcoming. We had a wonderful week with lovely walks across the marshes and our dog enjoyed herself too. Fabulous bakery, Two Magpies, on the quay for breakfast and cakes. We had a wonderful holiday and thank you very much. U

We were delighted with the cottage. It was warm and cosy on arrival and there were even Christmas decorations which was a nice surprise. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The area is beautiful with lovely walks and we particularly enjoyed the seal trip. Would recommend the White Horse across the road and both of the local hotRead moreels for eating out. We could not rate the cottage high enough and will definitely return. Hide

Lovely cosy cottage, in a beautiful setting, excellently situated for exploring the surrounding area.. Well stocked with everything you need for an enjoyable stay, including a very nice welcome pack. We had no problem parking on the street or down at the harbour, maybe different in high season, but there is a large chargeable car park at the bottomRead more of the hill. We had to contact the agent due to a problem locking the back door. They were extremely efficient and sorted the problem out that day. Hide
