Thinking of letting your Norfolk holiday cottage?
Why choose us?
The Blakeney Cottage Company is the largest independent cottage company in North Norfolk. Large enough to have the facilities and infrastructure to seamlessly look after all aspects of the management of your property, yet small enough to offer the personal touch we are well known for and so proud of.
Our emphasis is offering a fully bespoke, personal service to both owners and guests alike, a service that larger corporate owned companies simply can’t achieve. Owning a couple of holiday properties in Norfolk ourselves, we are especially aware of owners concerns when considering offering their cottage for holiday letting. This has enabled us to structure our business to ensure that the best possible care will be taken of your home in all situations.
A lot of our property owners come to us via personal recommendation which is, for us, the most gratifying route. It means that we are doing a good job and our management skills are competent and well appreciated.
