Cley Windmill

Cley windmill. North Norfolk Extremely enjoyable short break. Quality of rooms very luxurious . Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast. The location is exceptional. Very peaceful and quiet. You really feel you are somewhere "wild" but with all the home comforts. Intend to return later in the year. The street food truck that visited was excellent too.

Unique opportunity to stay in a windmill. We stayed in the room at the very top (the wheel room). The views are stunning and although it was a very windy couple of nights the occasional creaking from the wooden structure only added to the experience! Breakfast was excellent. Perfect poached eggs and good fish options available if desired. We also had a nice drink in the bar one evening. The Adnams Single Malt is lovely. The whole North Norfolk coastal area is stunning and Cley next the sea is just one of many beautiful small villages along that coast. Fantastic walks in and around the marshes, mudflats and beaches and plenty of wildlife to look out for.

Bar one issue, this was awesome. The staff, the food, the setting, the windmill itself, the location - all absolutely fantastic. We loved it. But oh my god the mattress. Soft as jelly - so bad I had to sleep on the floor (and I really did). The rooms in the windmill are of course not that large. Thry are cute, fascinating and great to enjoy But the small rooms means that the beds are modest in size. I have no issue with that. But when the bed is small, the last thing one wants is a soft mattress so you end up rolling into the middle - which we did. To be clear it did not spoil our stay. The place is beautiful. But our night’s sleep was not great as a result.

The Cley Windmill has a wonderful position on the north Norfolk coast that feels almost remote. Staff were helpful and professional but not intrusive. The venue we would describe as quirky rather than luxurious. The fixtures and fittings are similarly presented in that they are homely bordering on rustic. The breakfast menu was extensive and tasty. The portions served at dinner were plentiful and were like home cooked food rather than haut cuisine. It was certainly an experience staying at the Windmill!

This was one of the most unique places I have ever stayed. A beautiful, well equipped room with a great view of the marshes. We stayed on a Sunday and booked a hamper for tea. It was so delicious! I highly recommend Cley Windmill as a great place to stay in a lovely place\

What a treat! We stayed at the Dovecote and it was really lovely. Well equipped, very clean, very comfortable and warm. The breakfasts in the Windmill itself were delicious.....so good to have fresh fruit, and the full English was excellent. The whole experience was great and made a quiet birthday weekend very special.
