Overview
Property code: 78233

Tucked away in the heart of Cley next the Sea, this former fisherman’s cottage offers a peaceful and atmospheric stay. One of the most picturesque villages on the North Norfolk coast, this is a dream destination for walkers and birdwatchers with superb reserves and a bounty of walks at your doorstep. Sleeping two guests and welcoming one beloved pup, it’s ideal for couples and solo travellers keen to embrace the wonders of the region.

Accessed via a pathway from the High Street, this brick-and-flint cottage oozes romantic charm with beamed ceilings, stone floors and original fireplaces. It’s been lovingly renovated with superb attention to detail and lots of creature comforts. Downstairs, an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner forms the heart of the home. Rustle up home-cooked treats in the modern, fitted kitchen, then settle around the breakfast bar or dine alfresco in the pretty courtyard garden. This is a delightful spot for a sundowner in the salty sea air before adjourning to the sofa to catch up with your favourite TV series or curl up with a book before bed. As night falls, head up the cottage-style stairs to find a warm and cosy king-size bedroom, and start each day with a rejuvenating soak in the ground-floor shower room.

Cley next the Sea is a magical base for exploring the region, with its famous windmill, galleries, independent boutiques, selection of eateries and expansive shingle beach. Walkers can pick up the Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way in either direction from the town. Keen birdwatchers will be drawn to Cley Marshes to observe rare wading birds and will find more nature at RSPB Titchwell (20 miles) and Blakeney Point (1.5 miles), home to a grey seal colony. It’s also perfect for exploring the seaside towns of Sheringham (8 miles) and Wells-next-the-Sea (9.5 miles).

Beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet unspoilt area. The cottage provided everything we needed for our stay, the bed was comfortable and the shower very efficient. We enjoyed the walk to the beach everyday and a walk to Blakeney. The Harnser next door was great for breakfast and the Picnic Fayre shop in the village was well stocked and has lovely homRead moree made cakes. We had a lovely relaxing week and was very fortunate with some nice weather. We would definitely return here. Thanks for our holiday. Hide

Gorgeous cottage in a wonderful location. So relaxing. Friendly neighbours and Cley is probably one of the most unspoilt coastal locations in Norfolk. Harmser pub/restaurant just 2 doors away is amazing.

The cottage was fabulous. My only criticism is that it seems too late in the day after a long drive to only say the cottage can be accesses at 5 pm. When guests have to vacate the following Friday at 10 am we loose a day of our one week holiday. I understand that cleaning needs to be done but it would be reasonable to expect to be able to get into Read morea cottage by at least three pm giving cleaning team at least five free hours. We left our cottage spotless. I know some people don't but most do. Hide

We loved the cottage, and found it very comfortable and quiet. Location is very good, and we managed to park on the road nearby all the time. Not good for folk who cannot manage steep stairs, but the owners had provided everything and more for a self catering holiday in a beautiful and tranquil part of North Norfolk, where dogs are welcome.

A very peaceful place, very well situated to walk from with our dog. Well equipped generally with comfortable beds. There are very strict instructions in the property to not allow your dog either upstairs or on the furniture, so if you have a small, anxious dog then possibly not ideal.

Catlin Cottage is very well appointed with good quality fittings and equipment.
