“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, Nov 07 Blackbird Cottage now has a WOW factor! Mr & Mrs W, March 08

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 safe and secure garden. As a single storey property it is an ideal coastal quayside retreat for those less mobile around winding or narrow stairs.

Superb Location
A few yards from the quayside guests are so close to everything required for a great holiday. Upon leaving the cottage you turn into Mariners Hill with wonderful views over the wildfowl ponds, dinghy park and marshes and, of course, the first steps to 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. Slightly further up the High Street you will find Blakeney Deli and a gift shop. A torch is provided for use during late trips out!

An easy stroll across the scenic quayside takes you to a well stocked supermarket, fish shop and another pub. You will find two hotels, an ice cream kiosk and refreshment caravans at the quayside for great cups of tea and cake. More recently, the Harbour Rooms in Blakeney High Street have been offering live and varied entertainment for all! Further information is provided about North Norfolk, Blakeney, boat trips, walks, beaches, golf, bird watching, coastal walks, places to visit and places to dine.

Blackbird has been a much loved, much visited cottage over the years with many regular visitors. We hope guests will continue to enjoy this special corner of Blakeney.
