Mallard Cottage Reviews

Anthony
Mallard cottage was as good as last year''s visit.
Brigitte
Our second stay at Mallard Cottage. It is very well kept and provides everything you need. All was absolutely clean. We felt very welcome and really home from home. Thank you for the flowers and the welcome pack. Weâ??ve enjoyed our stay very much and have already booked for next year.
David
This was our second visit to Mallard Cottage and certainly we will revisit sometime next year. The thought which has gone into the presentation is first class and therefore we recommend staying there
Angela
Always a delight to return to Mallard Cottage, everything you need and more can be found in the cottage. Car parking is a bonus. Cannot wait to return.
Carolyn
We would highly recommend Mallard Cottage. It is well located in Blakeney with the benefit of its own parking space and a 5 minute walk to the quay. It is a real home from home, very well equipped, clean, comfortable and with lots of little extras provided such as dishwasher tablets and kitchen roll. A lot of thought has gone into making this holiday home a great place for an easy and enjoyable stay. We hope to return to Mallard Cottage next time we holiday in North Norfolk.
Anthony
Cottage was perfect everything needed for a lovely stay.
Christine
Beautiful cottage in a great location. Cleanliness of the cottage was second to none. We did not start the car for the entire week. Lovely walks along the coastal paths and the coast hopper busses were a great asset. Will definitely be back.
Joanna
The cottage is lovely.. Warm and cosy but spacious and the sunny garden with sheltered day bed and table is a bonus. Blakeney is charming and we loved North Norfolk. Welcome pack wine and biscuits, and a very good coffee machine were most appreciated.
Ruth
A beautifully presented and spacious cottage in a wonderful location. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and fully equipped with everything needed for our stay.
Alison
Karen looks after Mallards Cottage so well, it is so clean and well kept - thank you Karen. We have stayed at Mallards 16 times, another week booked for early September this year. Such a good location and very peaceful.
Margaret
The house is a delight and more spacious than we expected. Everything was spotless and well thought out. We had limited use of the outside facilities due to pretty dire weather for June, but the garden was perfect. Would love to come back but it is a long haul by car from Ayrshire.
Alison
Lovely comfortable, clean and well equipped house in a perfect location
Roberta
The cottage is great and equipped with all that you need. It is very warm and clean. The approach was generous in terms of extras (eg washing tablets/tea/coffee) which made it stand out from others we have rented. The location is perfect for Blakeney. We would stay again.
Valerie
We return to Mallard Cottage year after year and have never been disappointed. It really does excel in every respect, and has everything needed for the perfect Norfolk holiday.
Maurice
Great location, well maintained and a thoughtful welcoming pack to start the holiday.
Julia
Lovely modern cottage with all the comforts as well as a conservatory and an outside sitting space. It was everything that one could hope for to make an easy and enjoyable holiday. It was easy to find and car parking was well marked.
Paul
Mallard cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and clean. It was also larger than expected - the photos donâ??t do it justice! Very convenient location with an essential (for Blakeney) parking space. Highly recommended.
