Legion Cottages - a self catering cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
This cottage ticks all the boxes; prime coastal location, 2 good sized double bedrooms each bedroom having it's own private en-suite bath or shower room. There is one designated car parking space, and an enclosed patio garden.
The interior is furnished and equipped to a very high standard indeed, offering a perfect property for that luxury break or holiday.
Blakeney is a lovely little port and the cottage is just a short distance from the quayside. Walk through the charming streets and lanes to find a deli, some little gift shops, cafes, 2 local pubs that serve food, a great fish restaurant - The Moorings, mini supermarket, and the smart Blakeney Hotel which is open to non residents.
There are boat trips from the quay to Blakeney Point seal colony, and coastal walks, one path leads to the nearby Wiveton Hall cafe / restaurant which has views over the marshes to the sea, and on to one of our favourite village pubs serving an truly excellent menu - The Wiveton Bell.
Along the coast are the huge sandy beaches at Wells & Holkham, Cley Beach, and on to Holkham Hall with its lovely grounds and cafe & upmarket shopping at Burnham Market.

Super day in Blakeney
We had a wonderful time in Blakeney. The house was lovely and clean, well presented with plenty of utensils and kitchenware. The benefit of having 2 en-suite bedrooms was super for us being 2 couples staying there. The owner left us some goodies to enjoy. The weather was perfect for making use of the patio garden. There is plenty of cafes and pubs serving good food nearby. Lovely places to visit on the doorstep.

We were very impressed with this cottage, it had every thing you could possibly want, a perfect home from home!
The location was great, a short walk down to the beautiful harbour, such a pretty village.
The welcome hamper was very much appreciated, the owners have thought of everything to make their visitors so welcome.

Excellent house
We spent a most enjoyable week in Legion Cottage. The location, just off the High Street is quiet despite being adjacent to the British Legion/Harbour Rooms. The house is well equipped with appliances and well maintained. Both bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms and there’s a WC downstairs! Beds are very comfortable and there’s an ample supply of towels. The kitchen could do with more (less stained) mugs but that’s a minor detail. The house comes with a dedicated parking space in the Harbour Rooms car park but we couldn’t unlock the bollard (reported). Overall a very good house which I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Another relaxing stay
Lovely relaxing week even though weather turned cooler. Cottage very clean and comfortable. Arrival instructions were clear (although we have stayed previously so know set up). Great to have dedicated parking space in Blakeney. Kitchen very well equipped although didn’t cook much as so many lovely places to eat locally. Lots to do in area. Will be back in future

Very well decorated and furnished cottage in the heart of Blakeney. Outdoor patio area catches the sun all day. Perfect for two couples - 2 en suite double bedrooms with good views. Everything you need inside for your comfort, and your own parking space a few yards down the road. Welcome pack of bread, jam, wine etc on arrival - thank you.

Great place (bit dusty)
Lovely cottage quality fixtures great location. May well come back. Very slightly let down by cleaning, dust on some surfaces and upstairs floors. Shower grubby around bottom of doors.

Hello Roger
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete the review. Your feed back is very important to us as we aim to maintain a high standard for our guests. I have checked the calendar and can see that it was empty the previous week. It was cleaned after the previous guests vacated but perhaps it would have benefited a further dusting. I do apologise and hope it didn't spoil your stay as we would love to see you again.
Excellent well equipped and well thought out cottage
We loved our stay and the welcome gifts of fresh bread, milk, biscuits awere a pleasant surprise. The cottage had everything we could want and the children had lots of games to keep them busy.
The beds were comfy, the shower was great, the kitchen well equipped and they thought of everything.
It was a great base for walks locally to Morsten, a drive west to wells or east for the tank museum.
The decor is lovely and the kids were interested in all the little things left around for inquisitive minds.
Access and parking was easy to work out and we were lucky with the weather, but if you are not, there are CDs to listen to, games to play, magazines and books to read.
A very pleasant stay in a lovely place.

3 Legion Cottage, Blakeney
Our third stay at Legion Cottage which indicates our satisfaction of the property and why we keep returning
Due to the superb weather this year we spent much time in the rear patio/garden for breakfast and evening drinks.This drew our attention to the lack of maintenance of the patio and the lack of a parasol for the garden table. Minor points but the only slight criticism worth mentioning

Reaxing stay
We have stayed in Blakeney a few times. This cottage is about 5 minutes' walk from the quayside. Car parking for 1 car, is in the Harbour Room car park, about 50 yards away, in a reserved space. The cottage was, apparently, built in the 1980s and has been well maintained. It is furnished and equipped to a high standard and has a pleasant courtyard garden. In this part of Norfolk, television programmes are broadcast from Lincolnshire, so no local news or information can be obtained. Radio reception can be poor. The adjacent Harbour Room, which is a community facility, does host live music evenings, which are quite audible from the cottage although not too intrusive.

Lovely location and cosy cottage
The cottage is ideally placed in the lovely village of Blakeney. It has one parking space allocated although if you need additional parking, you have to take your chance on the busy street or a bit further afield. Not a problem for us but in peak months, may be a challenge. The cottage provided everything we needed. It was comfortable and warm for a winter break; we didn't use the log burner as it was just so warm. We were impressed with the furnishings and generous equipment provided including the welcome pack; all the basics and more were provided which is not always the case in holiday cottages. All was of a high standard and well presented.
Cleanliness was ok. There was some cobwebs around the place and the bedding was covered in hair. I suspect it was from an outside laundry but was a bit off putting although we cleaned it up with some sellotape.
We did have an issue with a leak from the bathroom into the lounge. We reported it promptly and it was seen to the next morning although nothing could be done. We had no further issues but there was residual water under the bathroom tiles which we also reported.
Blakeney is an up market village with a well heeled atmosphere. Lovely walks and places to eat and drink, although not cheap.
Overall a great stay with just a couple of niggles. We did have a great time though and would be pleased to recommend.

Property was gorgeous and very well appointed. The location was perfect.
Having said that we were very disappointed in the cleaning of the property especially in a pandemic. The the shower had two very long black hairs in the tray and area around the drainage was not clean. When we pulled back the sheets on the bed there was a long black hair I had taken all my own bedding to use. I would not have been happy to sleep in what was provided. I do not like to complain but feel you need to be aware of the situation.
Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.
