The White Horse ‘gastropub’ and The Moorings restaurant are also on the high street ,not forgetting The Kings Arms on Westgate Street .Birdies on the quay do a mean burger - (my fav,)The Spar shop sells everything you’ll need and has a post office and cash machine .

There is a Pet gate on stairs as NO DOGS UPSTAIRS and no dogs left unaccompanied,sorry.

Perfect bolt hole for the entire north coast.
Comfortable, welcoming and classy. Exactly as described and an easy walk to the coast. Easy to park nearby, too. Spotlessly clean, all the gadgets and amenities you might require. Host was quick to respond to queries and clearly available for help if needed.Compact accommodation, but did not feel small, despite us both being over six foot.Loved our stay. Perfect location to drive east and west to North Norfolk’s best bits!

A Short Break
Very good, but the otherwise ingenious installation of the toilet facilities were rather claustrophobic to use and negotiate

Lovely getaway
The cottage was situated in an ideal location, just a short walk down the high street to the quay. There is pub/inn just a couple of hundred yards down the road and a nice bakery on the quay. The cottage was well kitted out and we had everything we needed.

Charming cottage in a charming village
We loved our stay here. The cottage is clean and comfortable, excellent location and Sophia was accessible and responsive before and during our stay. Great kitchen. Blakeney is a small village but many great restaurants and many walking paths nearby. A very restful and peaceful place.

Pretty but Cramped Cottage
A pretty & nicely furnished cottage but in kitchen area, surfaces were cluttered & cupboards full, leaving no space for guest provisions. Bread board needs replacing! Hated the dog crate in the living room & other dog-based stuff, along with the recycling bin. Upstairs was far too cramped for us, especially washing & showering, with a dangerous step (which we fell over). Nowhere for towels & no wardrobe in the glass-fronted bedroom. Drawer liners recommended, please, along with filled soap-dispensers. And please instruct how to turn on TV! Parking was a pain.

Jollyboat Stay
Jollyboat is a beautifully restored cottage, tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped. The location was perfect and it provided a good base for walking the Norfolk Coast Path and catching the Coasthopper bus. We met Sophia, our helpful and hardworking host who was a source of local knowledge. The lack of outdoor space was made up for by its location 100 metres or so from picturesque Blakeney Quay.

Relaxing stay
We loved staying at Jollyboat Cottage with our dog. It is in a lovely area and just a short stroll to the pub, restaurant's and the harbour. We enjoyed a lovely long weekend and it is easy to get to the fabulous beach at Wells which is a short drive away. The cottage has been really nicely decorated and everything has been thought of. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
