Great location, 2 minutes to the Quay and coastal path, lovely walk into Blakeney. Cottage clean comfortable and spacious and very well equipped. Got its own parking space. Unfortunately it is on the market so no point in recommending it.

A very clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage in a quiet location very close to Morston quay seal trips and a half hour walk to coffee shops/bakery/Spar in Blakeney. Had a nice Sunday lunch in the village pub. Would not hesitate to book again.
