Full of impressive original features, this distinctive getaway is designed for couples, with the option of adding two further adult guests. With gorgeous views and an incredible location right below the iconic Cley Windmill, it makes an ideal base for walking, bird watching and boat trips.

Historic character and contemporary comfort come together in this studio-style property, which has been carefully restored to create an atmospheric retreat. The vaulted, oak ceiling and flagstone flooring (with underfloor heating) set the scene for antique furnishings, impressive light fittings and an Oriental rug – creating a uniquely romantic getaway. You’ll have comfortable seats beside an ornamental wood burner, a kitchenette with a two-ring hob and combination microwave oven, and an elegant dining table where you can enjoy your meals. At the heart of the space is a four-poster, king-size bed, made up with beautiful linens, which faces a Smart TV, perfect for reclining in style while indulging in a late-night movie. A compact mezzanine reading area, accessed via cottage-style steps, overlooks the open-plan space and can convert to accommodate two further adult guests on z-beds. An elegant shower room with WC completes the interior. The seating area outside provides a peaceful place for al fresco drinks or meals while taking in the spectacular views. Parking is beside the property in a public car park (subject to availability).

Wander the quiet lanes of Cley-next-the-Sea, enjoying the picturesque views of traditional flint cottages and discovering an array of unique shops. Stroll a little further to explore Cley Marshes, a nature reserve with fantastic birdwatching. The shingle beach is just a mile away, a tranquil place for a long walk or to set up for some sea fishing. From Morston Quay (3 miles) you can take a boat trip to see the seal colony at Blakeney Point.

A quaint and wonderful holiday home. Well appointed with excellent facilities in a lovely village with three good pubs serving excellent food. Our particular favourites were the Harnser and the Three Swallows.
