At the end of the summer, we had a lovely stay in Fakenham, North Norfolk. We stayed at the White House cottage, which is an Air BnB property and we love it there. This is our second year staying and I’m sure we’ll go back as it suits all the family, with animals to keep the girls entertained, good Wi-fi for JJ and a lovely lounge and garden for my husband and I to fully relax in.
About a twenty-minute drive away is the NationalTrust maintained nature reserve of Morston Quay and Blakeney Point. This is a
great place to go for a family walk and just have a look around at the boats
mooring up or travelling down the river.
We went there specifically to go out on a boat
trip to see the seals which head there to relax and carry their babies. There
are several companies offering boat trips out to see the seals, the two
most popular ones seem to be Beans and Temples and from I understand from
friends who have used both, they are are both reliable, quality and pretty much
of a likeness.
For no particular reason, we used Beans boat
trips and all the information about sailing times and prices is on their
website. You do need to call to make your booking but there is no payment in
advance, you pay on the day when you arrive. For this reason, there did appear
to be some non-arrivals and there were plenty of people who’d arrived without
reservations and were waiting in reserve.
