Guests appreciate the comfortable interiors, garden, and proximity to local amenities and walks. While the cottage is generally clean and inviting, some guests noted challenges with parking, access, and the annexe, as well as occasional maintenance issues. The welcome pack and attention to detail are appreciated, though not guaranteed. Overall, the property offers a delightful base for a Norfolk getaway, especially for those comfortable with its unique access and layout.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, though a few mentioned cobwebs and the need for a deeper clean and some refurbishment, particularly regarding outdoor furniture.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Blakeney village, coastal walks, and local amenities. However, the narrow lane and challenging parking slightly detract from the overall convenience.
The cottage is described as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with a lovely sitting room and good beds. Some guests found the annexe less comfortable, especially in extreme weather, and noted the stairs may be tricky for those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen, wood burner, and practical layout. Some guests struggled with the Aga, missed having a freezer, and noted minor maintenance issues such as bathroom fittings and outdoor furniture.
Guests appreciated the welcome pack and thoughtful touches like logs for the fire and practical extras. Please note that welcome gifts and extras are not guaranteed for every stay.

As already mentioned in previous reviews, the parking is a nightmare, not helped by scaffolding at the entrance to the narrow lane you need to back down.This cottage is not suitable for 4 people. There’s only seating in the lounge for 3. The “annexe” is a shed at the bottom of the garden which gets incredibly hot. Despite this being mentioned by previous guests, no fan or cooler had been provided. Luckily we read the reviews and managed y get a fan from Costco which we took with us. It’s a good job we did as our elderly parents would never have coped. Unfortunately my husband didn’t read the reviews before booking!Not suitable for elderly or anyone with mobility issues due to a spiral narrow wooden staircase inside and an uneven path to the “annexe” shed.It needs a really good clean and refurb. The outside furniture was old and dirty. There were lots of cobwebs throughout the house. The access to the cottage is terrible with cars on one side of the narrow road and huge plants on the other.Unfortunately this property is very unloved by its owners and it shows.

A charming cottage in a wonderful village. Excellent access to North Norfolk coastal path giving alternative access to the villages.Head height in doorways is restricted in places, so taller folks need to take care.However, parking is a challenge and requires adept reversing past parked cars with guidance from a passenger - we parked for free at Village hall instead (5-10 minute walk).Annexe charming and well equipped - but unusable during extreme heat - requires air conditioning.Main bathroom has fabulous view and is large - however the main bath taps and shower attachment did not work properly.Kitchen has sufficient equipment - but electric aga requires patience to allow time for ovens to heat up.Washing machine provided, but needed cleaning. And no washing powder provided.Downstairs toilet seat was not fitted properly.
