Location

Close to the quayside and start of the coastal path, our guests are so near to everything required for a great holiday.

Upon leaving the cottage gate you turn into Mariners Hill with wonderful views over the wildfowl ponds, dinghy park and marshes and, of course, the first steps for the coastal path to Cley or Morston and beyond.

A short walk over or around Mariner’s Hill, less than a minute if you don’t stop to admire the amazing view, leads you to the High Street with Moorings Bistro & Coffee Shop on your right and the White Horse pub & restaurant directly in front of you. A torch is provided for late trips out! Also in the High Street, Blakeney Deli and gift shops.

A brief stroll across the scenic quayside takes you to the well stocked supermarket, a fishmongers and another pub. You will find two hotels, an ice cream kiosk and refreshment caravans at the quayside.
