Blakeney Lodge sits in the shadows of an old windmill on the edge of Blakeney National Nature Reserve. It’s a compact but cosy cottage with high, beamed ceilings and a walled garden. Just a short walk will lead you to the wild saltmarshes of Blakeney and vast views of the coast.

Close by is Blakeney Point, recognised as internationally important for its breeding birds, and its seal colony. Grey seal pups are born on Blakeney Point during November, December and early January. The best way to view the seal pups is by taking a boat from Morston Quay.

If you’re a keen birdwatcher you’re in for a treat, with hundreds of species living on the reserve. During winter keep a look out for Snow Buntings and Brent Geese, whilst summer welcomes the arrival of screeching Terns. Friary Hills is a protected, dog-free nesting site, just a two-minute walk from the cottage, which leads onto Blakeney Freshes, with trails through the lower marshes of the reserve. There are also Norfolk Wildlife Trust and RSPB reserves in the area and much of the surrounding landscape is part of the North Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A little further afield, Sheringham Park is just nine miles from the cottage and a few miles beyond you’ll find Felbrigg Hall and also Blickling Estate, where you'll have free entry during your stay.
