Gull,s Nest is a delightful and very well equipped cottage. We have stayed there before and would thoroughly recommend it. It is conveniently situated to visit any number of attractions in North Norfolk and the proximity to the bus service makes this extremely easy to do.

Great location, 2 minutes to the Quay and coastal path, lovely walk into Blakeney. Cottage clean comfortable and spacious and very well equipped. Got its own parking space. Unfortunately it is on the market so no point in recommending it.
