Holiday Home Rental Description

The beautiful Blakeney Barn Cottage dates back to the 1800’s and has been restored with endless care, retaining its stunning original features. The living room’s vaulted beamed ceiling is incredible. With four stunning bedrooms, three of which are on the sprawling ground floor, this gorgeous Blakeney retreat sleeps 8 guests.
Blakeney is one the best loved beauty spot’s on the North Norfolk coast with a very pretty harbour and winding roads full of charming independent shops, galleries and some lovely gastropubs. It boasts sensational walks out to the calm and peaceful marshes. Blakeney is extremely popular.
Behind the typical brick and flint Norfolk frontage you will find luxurious modern comfort at Blakeney Barn Cottage. This idyllic retreat provides a haven of peace and quiet in one of the prettiest villages around. The main open plan living area is an absolute delight with squishy sofas and chairs looking out to the delightful garden. The exposed flint feature wall and the restored wooden beams add atmosphere and charm. The kitchen is a chef’s delight with modern, Shaker style units and a large range cooker. It is a very sociable space where everyone can chat while a delicious meal is being prepared. With its open plan design, this is a very bright cottage. The colour palettes are soothing with soft greys, blues and yellows and throughout you will find little nautical nods with beach scenes on the artwork, lamps made of shells and boat and bird ornaments.
The sumptuous master bedroom suite, with ensuite bathroom, is nestled in the eaves on the first floor with breathtaking views across the salt marshes with the sea on the horizon. Again there are atmospheric wooden beams. The remaining bedrooms are situated on the ground floor. Two enjoy modern ensuite bathrooms plus there is a family bathroom. The beds are adorned with quality linens and fabulous soft furnishings. You will definitely enjoy the sleep of kings here. Children will adore the bespoke bunk beds.
The garden is very attractive with decking for alfresco dining and outdoor lounging and a lush lawn. The chef can use the house barbecue or the indoor kitchen. There is space for 3 cars to park. Norfolk is the perfect place for dog walking so your furry friend is invited too,  just one though!The charming, picturesque village of Blakeney is on the stunning North Norfolk coast. It is a very popular spot with its pretty harbour, delightful range of unique shops including fishmongers, butchers and galleries, gastropubs and its amazing landscape of marshes, sand hills and mud banks. You can walk straight from the cottage and enjoy this Instagram worthy estuary. Within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Blakeney National Nature Reserve offers uninterrupted views of the coastline and you are very likely to spot migratory birds as well as the seals at Blakeney Point. Make sure you try one of the fresh crab sandwiches from the mobile van in the car park at the harbour. They are delicious! Trips can be taken from Blakeney and Morston Quay to visit the seal colonies. The pups are born during November to early January with over 2000 seal pups being born each year. It is a wonderful family outing.
A couple of miles away is the enchanting village of Cley-next-the-Sea. It offers wonderful views across the marshes, an outstanding deli, several art and pottery galleries and a smoked fish shop. The marshland was used for horse races up to the early 19th century as well as being a regular haunt for smugglers. The area is excellent for birdwatching. You should look out for ringed plovers, oystercatchers, brent geese and common teal.
For shopping, you can head to the stunning town of Holt. It is home to some excellent art galleries, antique and book shops, butchers, greengrocers, delicious eateries and a maze of 18th century Georgian buildings hiding in wonderful courtyards and alleyways. It looks so pretty at Christmas when all of the shops display brightly lit trees on the front of the buildings.
Further along the coast you can visit the wonderful town of Wells-next-the-Sea with its colourful beach huts, mammoth sandy beach sprinkled with dunes and grasses, pine forest, attractive harbour and its lovely leafy green ‘The Buttlands’, home to several gastropubs. You can walk all the way to Holkham Beach, one of the finest in the country. You can also take the Wells to Walsingham Light Railway for an afternoon excursion.
Holkham’s beach is totally unspoilt with a glorious semi-circle basin filling to form a spectacular shallow lagoon at high tides. The beach is famous for the closing scene in Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Shakespeare in Love’. The 25000 acre Holkham Estate is rich in history, architecture and wildlife. Holkham Hall is the seat of the Earl of Leicester, an 18th century mansion still lived-in as well as open to visitors. There are 6 acres of walled garden, walking and cycling paths, lakes, deer, a tree top high ropes course with its swings, bridges and ziplines, rowing boats, canoes and kayaks on the lake and a woodland play area.
