Hope Cottage is a charming, much-loved home situated in the heart of Blakeney village in North Norfolk. This former fisherman's cottage, dating back to the 1860s, has been cleverly renovated in keeping with the property to provide cosy yet practical accommodation.
The property is a short walk from Blakeney Quay and all the fabulous places to eat and drink nearby including The Moorings restaurant, The Kings Arms pub, The White Horse pub and a selection of coffee shops. The pretty courtyard leads into the main living space featuring comfortable seating surrounding a wood burning stove; ideal for warming up after blustering winter walks! There is a Smart TV in the corner of the room and a large round dining table comfortably seating up to six guests. The modern kitchen features all the appliances one could need including Rangemaster oven, dishwasher, fridge, mini freezer, microwave, washing machine and Nespresso coffee machine. Also located on the ground floor is a cosy 'snug' room featuring a two seater sofa and a Smart TV ; a quiet space to curl up with a good book!
Up the traditional Norfolk Winder staircase and you will reach the first floor with two stylish bedrooms. Bedroom one has been styled in calming, neutral tones and features a king size bed and plenty of wardrobe storage. Bedroom two features two single beds, built in hanging storage and chest of drawers. Both of these bedrooms share a light and bright family bathroom featuring a shower over the bath, wc and wash hand basin. A second flight of stairs leads to the master bedroom featuring a sumptous king size bed, chest of drawers storage and en-suite shower room with WC and wash hand basin.
Outside there is a small, fenced courtyard featuring a bistro set for four guests.
Hope Cottage is the perfect bolthole for guests looking for a coastal retreat. Just as practical for short breaks as it is for longer-terms holidays, the property is ideal for families, friends or couples looking for a property with more space.

If the dishwasher is still running when you leave, noproblem, but please do not leave any washing up for us to do!Please put any furniture, ornaments, games etc that you have moved duringyour stay back to where you found them.We do try as much as possible to be a pooch friendly company! In return weask that doggie owners must clean up all evidence of their pets stay bothinternally and externally.Please do not allow your dogs on any furniture or beds and please put anythrows that are not especially intended for dogs out of the way so they do notget hairy.
