About the host
Hosted by Juliet Chase
We have been coming to Blakeney for family holidays for over 30 years. Our children loved visiting their grand parents, messing about in boats, playing in the creeks and crabbing on the quay. We still enjoy our holidays in Blakeney, visiting friends, braising walks along the coastal path and still mess about in boats!
We are always available to contact during your stay and have local help to cover most situations.

Why they chose this property
We purchased Close-by in 2018 and really enjoyed renovating it during the summer so that our guests can experience and enjoy Blakeney as much as our family has and still does all year round.
The property is ideally situated in a quiet location, close to all the local amenities that Blakeney has to offer.
