This wonderful country retreat, tucked away on the southern end of Cley-next-the-Sea, is as spacious as it is sophisticated. A perfect base for families and groups of friends craving a quiet get-together, from here guests can explore everything that this irresistible part of the Norfolk Coast is famous for, including coast and countryside walks, and a wealth of family attractions.

The roaring wood burner and sumptuous furnishings in the generous lounge create a truly warming ambience - the ultimate antidote to soothe weary walking muscles at the end of a busy day on the trails. Flooded with natural sunlight, the breathtaking countryside views from the spacious and stylish kitchen/diner will inspire you to get creative, whilst the peaceful, cosy atmosphere of the adjoining snug offers a quiet spot to plan tomorrow’s adventure. Upstairs, the three super-king-size bedrooms and one king-size bedroom (2 of which are zip-and-link for your flexibility) feature soft, neutral tones and charming, rustic decor reminiscent of a country cottage. Serving the bedrooms are an en-suite shower room, en-suite bathroom, and well-appointed family bathroom. Outside, enjoy everything that the large wrap-around garden has to offer; from scenic strolls around the apple orchard to dining alfresco as the sun sets over the fields from the comfort of the two stone patios.

A fantastic location for a family break with daughters boyfriends too. Plenty of space upstairs and down with big well equipped kitchen for dining and playing board games. Close to lots of attractions, country parks and beaches and only a short walk to the village with pubs and shops. Close to Cley marshes for birding - great for an evening visit Read moreas well as during the day for food with a view at the visitor centre. Eclectic book selection if you need inspiration! Spring heatwave was a bonus. If we needed space for a family gathering again this will be top of our list. Hide

A lovely, roomy house on the edge of a very popular village with open, delightful views across the owners adjoining field which the younger members of the party used as a training circuit until the sheep arrived! A great base for exploring further afield, highly recommended.

Our stay at Valley House couldnt have been better. A great house in a wonderful location. Easy access to all the areas of Norfolk and Suffolk you could wish to visit. Holt is a charming town and the local pubs in walking distance are proper country pubs! The beds are so comfortable and the log burner probably the best and most efficient Ive ever Read moreencountered! Would highly recommend and will book if and when returning to Norfolk. . Hide

The house is beautiful. Great for a 3 generational holiday, as we all had our own space too. It was spotlessly clean with very comfy beds. We love Cley as a location and it was nice to be able to walk into the village in 15 mins but also be so peaceful and not see any other houses, just the field. Lovely.
