Staying at
The Boathouse

Quick guide to your location

Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the charming village of Blakeney is one of North Norfolk’s most sought-after destinations. With its tidal creeks, wide-open salt marshes, and timeless flint cottages, it offers a peaceful yet vibrant coastal escape rich in natural beauty, heritage, and culinary delights.

From your doorstep, enjoy the renowned Blakeney Freshes coastal walk, a spectacular route through vast marshland landscapes that teem with birdlife and lead out toward the sea. The area is also home to Blakeney Point, where boat trips ferry you past bobbing seals basking on the sandbanks - a truly unforgettable experience.

Back in the village, treat yourself to a fresh crab sandwich on the terrace of The Blakeney Hotel, the perfect spot to relax and watch the world drift by. Foodies will find plenty to tempt their taste buds, with excellent local eateries such as Blakeney Deli and Two Magpies Bakery, known for their artisanal bakes and locally sourced treats. For a truly special dining experience, Morston Hall, just minutes away and run by celebrity chef Galton Blackiston, offers exquisite, Michelin-starred cuisine in an elegant country house setting.

A short drive inland brings you to the delightful Georgian town of Holt, filled with independent shops, galleries, and cafés - a great place for a leisurely afternoon.

History buffs should not miss a visit to the Langham Dome, a restored WWII training building nearby, now a fascinating museum that brings local wartime history to life.

Blakeney is more than just a village - it's a lifestyle of slow days, salty air, and unforgettable views. Whether you're here for walking, wildlife, food, or simply unwinding, it's the perfect base for experiencing the best of the Norfolk coast.
