“To say that we are looking forward to our stay is indeed an understatement. Every time we book a holiday at Blackbird the arrival date cannot come fast enough, as we love the cottage and Blakeney so much. Mr & Mrs F. Blackbird Cottage now has a WOW factor! Mr & Mrs W. Very sad we hadn't booked two weeks! Vincent family, Aug 09

A great base in all seasons for your holiday or short break in Blakeney, Blackbird Cottage is snug for couples and highly suitable for young families due to the pretty, sunny, safe and secure garden. As a single storey property it is also an ideal coastal quayside retreat for those less mobile around winding or narrow stairs.

View availability on our new website. Book early for your Autumn break from 18th September!
