Smugglers
Rest

Smugglers Rest is situated just off the High Street on a pretty little ‘loke’ in the heart of the village, just a short stroll to the Quay. This much-loved, family cottage boasts living space of generous proportions; ideal for evening meals and socialising. The owners have painstakingly created a wonderful and much loved second home retreat that offers the ideal accommodation for families or couples looking for a break on the North Norfolk coast.

One enters the property through the charming stable doors into a small entrance hallway off which is the kitchen, main living space and a handy ground floor WC. The main living space is lined with four large, ornate sash windows making it a lovely light bright area. It is an L shaped room comprising of a dining/reception area with a fabulous antique dining table that could comfortably seat 8 and two stylish, retro bamboo reading chairs and footstool. The lovely sitting area has a pair of most comfortable sofas adjacent to each other and focusing on the huge log burning stove which makes a superb focal point of the room and is a wonderful feature in the colder months. There is underfloor heating on the ground floor and lovely traditional style column radiators on the first floor so it is warm and cosy whether you choose to light the fire or not! There is a large SMART TV and free superfast broadband for your convenience.

The kitchen with its hand-painted units under hardwood work surfaces is well equipped with high-end appliances such as the Gaggenau oven and induction hob, large Meile fridge freezer, Meile washer/drier and Siemens integrated dishwasher. Stairs lead up from the kitchen to the first floor.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms (one en-suite) and a good-sized family bathroom. The master bedroom is a really large room with a wonderfully comfortable super king (6ft) and a small but perfectly formed en-suite shower room. There is also a good-sized room with a kingsized bed and a twin room. The bathroom has a good sized tub with ‘rain’ shower above and a separate handheld shower. On the second floor there is another bedroom with a zip and link bed that can either be made up as a superking double of 3ft single. NOTE: the access to this room is via some stairs and then a small cabin style ladder.

Externally the shingled hollyhock lined ‘loke’ leads back from the High Street and right at the back is what our office manager describes as ’Smugglers secret garden’. This lovely little walled outdoor space is hidden away from the world behind a large gate and is an ideal place to enjoy BBQ’s or drinks with friends. A parking permit is provided for our guests allowing them to park in nearby Harbour Room car park free of charge for the duration of their stay.

The owners of Smugglers Rest have thought of everything to ensure that their guests have a wonderful holiday experience. The quality of this cottage will appeal to our discerning guests and with its prime position in the heart of the beautiful village of Blakeney, we are certain Smugglers Rest will become a firm favourite with guests returning again and again.
