Best shower in UK

The welcome kit was great and the shower was absolutely wonderful. Location is fantastic. Everything worked well. One minor niggle with resetting the lock box otherwise perfect.

Fabulous visit to Norfolk!

The cottage was exactly as described and true to the pictures. The check in was smooth and Jo gave us lots of helpful info on the area. The welcome basket was also really appreciated. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of space so we didn’t feel on top of one another all the time. The village is lovely and we are out at the George & Dragon and the Harnser - excellent meals at both. There are also wonderful villages and beaches all along the coast to visit and the doggies were welcome virtually everywhere. All in all a great week - thanks

This was - quite simply - the most AMAZING stay. From Jo (the property manager/owner), to the sumptuous house itself and the surrounding area, everything was perfect. My family and I were visiting from Mississippi in the US, revisiting Norfolk where my family grew up, and I went to school at UEA 30 years ago. We loved touring the coast and sampling amazing food in local pubs and restaurants. Please visit The George & Dragon and Hanser, both had amazing food and wonderful hospitality. Thank you so much for providing many wonderful memories. I cannot recommend Jo and Mariners Hard enough!

Charming cottage in a wonderful location.

The beds and bed linen were wonderful. Really comfortable. It was disappointing that the deli did not deliver the welcome pack until the next day but the cottage owner got on to that quickly. We were warned it might be cold as it is an old cottage and it was, so It would have been nice if there was some low heating on to take the chill off.

Very special home in an unforgettable setting

We adored our time here for a very memorable late Autumn break. Such a stylish and comfortable home with real attention to detail. The owners have gone the extra mile... beds are supremely comfortable with lovely linen and the rest of the house is just a special. What a treat to be able to walk from the house onto the marshes and take a footpath to the sea. Wildlife in this part of Norfolk always delivers a spectacle and we enjoyed 'close views' of Barn Owls and Marsh Harriers, huge flocks Geese and much more. Excellent places to eat within so close, an easy walk. The owners have written a really good guide to the area - was really useful. We know North Norfolk well and have enjoyed holidays here many times. The combination of this house and this location is a real winner. We loved it all!

Mariners Hard - A Real Gem in Cley

We’ve been staying in Blakeney and Cley for many years in a whole range of properties. It was lovely to discover a new gem in this cottage. We always think there are three fundamental qualities that are needed for an enjoyable stay: location, comfortable bedrooms and good bathrooms/showers (especially with the rain and mud we had!) The cottage scored super highly on all three. A two minute walk from the Windmill and our beloved George pub ; a short hop to the Cley beach road and paths; lovely beds and great quality showers (not always the case in these older cottages). The property was warm and comfortable with a nice sitting area for the evenings. A special thanks for the effortless check in: Jo’s communication before our stay was quick and friendly and she allowed us to arrive a bit earlier on the Friday, with the heating already on a welcome basket waiting. It was a wonderful stay - the cottage is highly recommended. As we left we were talking about how much we’d like to return… Thanks KB & family
