About this property

Burnham A - a self catering cottage that sleeps 3 guests in 1 bedroom

A purpose built detached property comprising of just two spacious apartments which are located in a small & select development called 'The Pastures', just off the Blakeney Quayside.

Burnham A is the ground floor apartment, and offers parking for two cars ( many local cottages cannot offer proper off road parking) , a private garden to sit out in, and is just a two minute walk from the Quay.

The interior is spacious when compared with many older properties, and is well furnished and equipped ready for your occupation. There is electric heating, hot water, and double glazing.

A glazed 'conservatory' entrance leads on to a good sized living room with open fire place and a dining area, cloakroom, fitted kitchen with appliances, one bedroom with twin single beds and en-suite bathroom.

Blakeney is a very sought after North Norfolk destination, it has a number of hotels offering places for you to eat in the evening, two local pubs that serve food, a highly regarded fish restaurant 'The Moorings', a mini supermarket, deli, fish mongers, and a number of little shops.

Blakeney harbour is a small quayside with boats moored up, and boat trips are usually available. There are lovely walks including out to Blakeney Point famous for it's seal colony.

Good location, but needs some TLC

We chose this property for its central location in Blakeney with parking. It ticked that box. However, the property could do with some TLC. The carpet had obvious stains, the general cleanliness was wanting. We put the crockery, cutlery through the dishwasher before use as there were obvious marks, dust, and stains. Generally there are enough pots pans and cooking utensils. However once agin old, dented, and marked. The outside table and chairs required a good clean, which we did before using them. The bathroom is were the most up grade is required. Very old, cobbled together furniture. The toilet brush was covered in “poo” The resident spider and cobwebs making an appearance every time you go into the bathroom. The fact the check in is 5pm and check out 9am, “due to COVID extra cleaning “ did not quite add up! For those taking dogs, be mindful although there is a gated garden, it is to one side of the property, therefore if you have a little doggie who likes to wander , you need to lead the dog to the gated area. We visit Norfolk every year for the past 10 years, for the price we have stayed in much nicer properties. Blakeney has become a tourist haven and to be honest is over priced. .

Hello Kim Thank you for taking the time to review Burnham A. Our one bedroom cottage in Blakeney. Your feedback is very important to us. Thank you for pointing out some areas that you feel need attention. I will certainly pass this on to the property manager who I know works very hard to maintain standards. His number is in the property manual and we do encourage guests to contact him if there are any issues with the property or its cleanliness. Any issues reported are dealt with straight away. Thank you for your comments regarding the check in and check out times. While COVID itself is not such an issue it remains one the main reasons for a shortage of staff in the holiday cottage industry and why we have to stipulate the 5pm check in although we have now relaxed the check out to 10am. We do work hard to ensure that the properties of a high standard and sorry to hear that you have been disappointed this time.

Excellent location, very clean, comfortable, spacious and great facilities

The stay in the cottage was great. It was well equipped and clean and comfortable. In the visitor's book, there were some real moans about tiny things, but compared to other cottages, they were nit-picking. It is in a perfect location for birdwatching. We were upset that the booking system said the cottage was free Sunday to Sunday, but then once booked, it wasn't so we only had 6 days. It was a bit misleading, so disappointing. The instructions to get into the property were sent on an email with half the words missing, so it was very hard to find, especially as it was dark by the time you are allowed in. But once in the property we had a good time, thank you. A few Xmas decorations was a nice touch. Thank you.

Very nice apartment in an excellent location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay overall. The lounge / diner was very well furnished and in good condition, as was the kitchen which was well equipped. The bathroom and cloakroom are quite adequate but starting to look a bit tired and there are signs of a previous leak on the bathroom ceiling, which probably explains the slight damp smell. The acid test is always "would we use it again?". Most definitely yes!

Perfect location

This is a modern property and is very equipped and comfortable. Great location walking distance to all the walks and restaurants that Blakeney offers. The flat was clean and has lighter furniture now than in the original pictures which works well. We would consider staying again but whilst we had the key for the garage weren’t able to store our cycles which we would like to have brought with us.

The apartment was clean,spacious & well equipped,situated within walking distance of Blakeney Quay.

Everything was nearby,even a Coastal Hopper Bus service a few minutes walk away.The apartment is in a lovely woodland setting,tucked away just behind the Blakeney Hotel,(only downside being) because of the setting & seclusion from the trees means the apartment never gets any sunshine & is quite dark,but very private & a lovely grased area with seating called the Pastures just next door to the apartment.There is ample car parking space in front of the apartment & all amenities are within walking distance. Inside the apartment is tastefully decorated,very comfortable lounge furniture with dining table & chairs(although these are dark wood) & wood benefit being either replaced with lighter ones, or painted white or cream,(as again this area very dark.) Maybe a couple of small table lamps would be a nice touch, & most definately a biggerscreen TV,as it's far too small for the size of the room. The beds are very comfy,with white cotton sheets & duvets.The bathroom is spacious,with a good wall heater,but (this needed a good clean,as was full of fluff & dust.) Not the best shower!(Yet again, it needs a good clean out too!) Kitchen was well equipped,again with fan heater on wall,(also in need of a good clean,full of fluff & dust) Under cupboard only had one light working instead of three & also one light not working instead of two,on cooker hood. The dishwasher filter was "absolutely disgusting" & could not have been cleaned out for ages! Overall the apartment is really nice,but could be "even better" with some small adjustments & a thorough "clean"

Thank you very much for your review. I am pleased that on the whole you enjoyed your stay. The garden is indeed secluded with a number of trees surrounding which can be a blessing on a hot day. I can see that you stayed in May when the sun is a little lower and I can confirm that the garden does get more sunshine when the sun is higher and therefore shining over the tree line. I am pleased to confirm that the dark wood furniture is all being replaced this year (2018) with light wooden, modern furniture and also neutral sofas. This will give a completely different contemporary look, very relaxing, light and bright and will lift the property back its original high standards. I cant wait until we can show off the new look after we update the photographs. We will also be adding that extra touch of comfort with side lamps. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property. Your comments have been noted and we will be investigating this matter. Your comments are very important to us and help us to identify where improvements can be made. I do hope you return soon and benefit from the imminent upgrades. Many thanks. Sue
