Blakeney sits on a tidal creek on the North Norfolk coast, with a quay at the end of the High Street and salt marshes stretching out beyond it. It is one of the better-served pub-with-rooms bases on this coast: four pubs, all within a couple of miles of one another, and all with bedrooms.
The White Horse on the High Street is a former coaching inn with nine en-suite rooms, a conservatory and courtyard, and a clear dog policy — dogs are welcome in the bedrooms, the bar and the restaurant, and the pub publishes its own dog-walk route. The Kings Arms on Westgate Street is a plainer, no-fuss pub with food served all day and a short list of dog-friendly rooms. The Wiveton Bell, about a mile and a half inland on its village green, has six boutique rooms and a dog menu. At Cley, the George & Dragon looks over the marshes with ten rooms and a kitchen that opens every day.
Two things to plan around: neither the White Horse nor the Wiveton Bell lists lunch or dinner service on Mondays and Tuesdays, so check the day before you set out hungry. And the quayside car park floods on the tide, so don’t leave a car there overnight without checking.
Not in Blakeney itself, but close enough to stay — the town's shops, pubs and sights are only a short trip in from any of these.
