About this property
King's Lynn 5.1 miles. The Attic is a contemporary, first-floor cottage nestled in Blackborough End, five miles from the historic town of King’s Lynn.

As the evening comes to a close, choose either the double or twin bedroom to catch your rest, fitted with plush duvets and wall-mounted Smart TVs so you can continue your favourite series to bed. Serving these bedrooms is the lavish shower room, boasting beautiful tiling and a rainfall shower to step under. From the cottage you can access the village of Middleton, offering a village store and an excellent pub with a great reputation, perfect if you fancy a night away from the kitchen.

An ironing board but no iron. No mirrors in bedrooms, no drawers or a shelf in bedrooms so nowhere to put anything. No books games cards etc no house book with recommendations for visits or eating places. Only 4 plates bowls glasses so though dishwasher not practical no fruit bowl or other dishes. No pictures are except one very high up in kitchen. No s and p or teabags milk to welcome guests. No hairdryer no hooks on door backs etc. bathroom lovely with great shower beds comfortable lovely balcony which as we had good weather was a great advantage. This property had a great layout and could have been fantastic with just a little effort and minimal expenditure.

The facilities included are good. It is set in a rural location with lovely views over fields. The balcony is a great feature though unfortunately it wasnât warm enough to sit out during our stay My own research led me to believe that a pub and shop were nearby with the same postcode but in fact they are a couple of miles away

Lovely and clean, beds are very comfortable and the veranda is a wonderful place to chill in the evening and enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching the sun go down. The property had everything you needed if a little sparse on the utensils. A few more mirrors would be useful especially in the bedrooms. There are no drawers in the bedrooms but there is a clothes rail and hangers for your clothes, there is please plenty of room on the floor out of the way for your suitcase so itâs easy enough to use that as your underwear draw. Plenty of storage space in kitchen and bathroom for food and toiletries. If you like to clean as you go best to take a few essentials with you as very little cleaning products available other than the basics. I would definitely recommend if you love peace and quiet. Neareast restaurant/pub is probably Middletonâs as in the village of same name. Lovely place and very good service and about 2-3 miles away, could be walked but on country roads at night this might be a bit risky, but with plenty of parking easy enough to find a space. I would definitely stay here again great base for visiting North Norfolk coast, most of the fabulous beaches being around an hours drive away. Would definitely recommend Holkham, fabulous beach!
