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.

Lovely modern cottage with all the comforts as well as a conservatory and an outside sitting space. It was everything that one could hope for to make an easy and enjoyable holiday. It was easy to find and car parking was well marked.

Mallard cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and clean. It was also larger than expected - the photos dont do it justice! Very convenient location with an essential (for Blakeney) parking space. Highly recommended.

Mallard Cottage is very comfortable and cosy. We felt really home from home. There are lovely places to sit whatever the weather is. The conservatory is a real gem as the gazebo is. The cleaner did a very good job. Thanks to the owners for providing such a nice cottage.

Every aspect was very good, the only reason comfort was marked down is due to both of us being tall, and bending over slightly at the main bedroom dorma window. Not a criticism just how it was.

Easy to use website. Property was excellent and the photos online don't actually do the property justice as the cottage is more roomier than the pictures depict. Accesories in cottage were plentiful and of the higest standard. Cleaner came to introduce herself and give us a contact point. Brilliant!

Mallard Cottage is the VERY best holiday let we have ever used. Location is perfect and on-site parking a rarity for Blakeney. The owners spare no expense in ensuring all facilities are in tip-top condition - there is everything you could ask for and more besides. Karen, who looks after the property, maintains it to an immaculate standard of cleRead moreanliness and couldn't be more helpful. We return time and time again and shall continue to do so. Hide
