The converted windmill is very nice looking and well fitted out. Car parking is easy in the private car park. The rooms are lovely and the breakfast well cooked and substantial. The staff are excellent - very helpful and attentive, with good local advice.

A special place just bursting with character. I stayed in the old cart shed which was spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was luxurious and delicious. The only negative thing i can say is that wasnt a vegetarian choice on the evening set menu.

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\

We really liked the quirkiness of the windmill and the way in which it has not been over-converted. Our only dissatisfaction arose from the inadequate lighting in the wheel room and we discussed this with one of the staff so it may well be put right.

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.

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.
