Cley Windmill is arguably one of the most distinctive and delightful attractions that Norfolk has to offer.
Featured in The Independent Top 50 British Hotels 2010, it combines the novelty and character of a beautiful early 18th Century windmill (in a fantastic North Norfolk coast location), with slickly designed interiors and locally sourced cuisine. Quite a package wouldn’t you say?
Accommodation is offered in two forms – Bed & Breakfast and Self-Catering.
The rooms inside the windmill itself are all unique in layout and feel, depending upon their situation within the mill. For example, the cosy and traditional Wheat Chamber (a beamed, circular room) is the first of the rooms in the tower, offering superb views across the river Glaven. The Miller’s Room, occupied by the last Miller and his Wife, has its own lobby and private entrance. The Stone Room features a dramatically high ceiling and a private doorway that offers access onto the balcony that encircles the windmill. At the very top, the fabulous Wheel Room can only be accessed by a steep carpeted ladder, or can be taken along with The Stone Room to form a unique ‘suite for the adventurous’ at the very top of the windmill.
The Long House and The Boat House offer B&B accommodation outside the mill itself. Ideal hideaways, they all offer the same fabulous fittings and views as the rooms inside the Mill.
Also external to the Mill itself, The Dovecote is a snug flint-walled cottage. It can be occupied on either a B&B or a Self-Catering basis and allows dogs.
Aside from the wonderful rooms, relaxation and comfort are provided via a magnificent circular sitting room (complete with antique furniture, inviting sofas, roaring fire and honesty bar) and a stunning beamed dining room (that also serves dinner).
Extraordinary and romantic, a stay at Cley Windmill is something you will remember always. Definitely an experience of a lifetime that everyone should try at least once.
The entire Mill can be hired on a self-Catering basis over Christmas and New Year.
Cley Windmill is licensed for civil ceremonies and weddings and the entire windmill can be occupied afterward for the wedding and reception. It is an unforgettable and stunning venue for a small romantic wedding (also more than perfect for the honeymoon!). View the 2011 Cley Windmill Wedding Brochure.
Tariffs begin at £89 pp pn (minimum 2 nights stay), but book promptly as Cley Windmill’s rooms are in high demand.
