Town Hall Mews.
C/O Old Town Hall House.
Coast Road, Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR25 7RB.
Tel: 01263 740284.
From the same pedigree as 5-Star Cley B&B, Old Town Hall House, the latest venture from owners Louise and Fraser will not disappoint in terms of a quality self-catering stay.
Step off the street and you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d just arrived at a chic apartment complex in some hip, cosmopolitan city. Fortunately, the tranquillity and views across the glorious marshes remind you that, in fact, you are in the heart of North Norfolk, in the beautiful village of Cley.
Located in a former 18th Century flint grain store and designed specifically with couples in mind, The Mews Apartment offers spacious, open plan accommodation. Packed with every possible creature comfort to ensure you feel at home away from home, you’ll find a Super King-sized bed and en-suite bathroom, full kitchen and laundry facilities, TV/DVD player and a wood burner. The décor throughout is stunning, with all fixtures and furnishings of the highest (and most sumptuous!) quality. The highlight is surely the west facing walled patio garden, which offers breathtaking views over Cley marshes. Perfect for watching the sun go down after a hard day of exploring, shopping or simply doing nothing in particular at all.

Old Town Hall House.
Coast Road, Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR25 7RB.
Tel: 01263 740284.
Old Town Hall House is an AA 5-Star rated Bed and Breakfast in the charming North Norfolk coastal village of Cley-next-the-Sea. While this guarantees the obvious high standards of hospitality and furnishings, this top-level accolade also recognises that such a B&B goes above and beyond when it comes to the finer details that make a stay there simply fabulous. As well as a heightened sensitivity to guests’ needs, with nothing being too much trouble, breakfast itself must include special or home-made components, made from high-quality fresh, local ingredients. Certainly all this is evident at Old Town Hall House.
Each of the three gorgeous en-suite rooms – wonderfully called The Star Room (a King-sized double with an amazing view out on to Cley Marshes), The Globe Room (also a King) and The Heart Room (a Super-King size double), have touches such as jugs of filtered water (more eco-friendly than bottled water), mini-fridges for fresh milk with your tea or coffee, bathrobes, handmade toiletries and a tasty little ‘treat’ placed everyday that may be a cake or delicious biscuits. Intended to be a haven of peace and quiet, you will not find a TV or Wi-Fi in the rooms. The emphasis is on a technology-free stay to help you unwind (and Cley has a notoriously bad mobile signal, so that’s out too). Radios in each room provide a sedate, low-level connection to the 21st-Century.
Awarded the prestigious AA Breakfast Award, breakfast is a relaxed but special affair, including homemade bread and preserves.
Ideal as a base from which to discover the wider county, Old Town Hall House is unquestionably a Bed and Breakfast of the highest standard. Owners Louise and Fraser have made sure that nothing is overlooked and with an emphasis on high quality and guest satisfaction, a stay here is bound to leave you feeling thoroughly spoiled and rested.
Minimum stay is 2 nights. Rates range from £90-£105 per room per night. To reward their loyalty, returning guests receive a little extra-special treatment, including complimentary snacks and red wine (white also available!) in their room.
In the interest of quiet and calm, Old Town Hall House does not take children or pets.

Field House.
Moorgate Road, Hindringham, Norfolk, NR21 0PT.
Tel: 01328 878726.
www.fieldhousehindringham.co.uk
Field House is a real gem of a bed and breakfast for so many reasons…
Firstly, its location in the sleepy, rural village of Hindringham is perfect for access to mid- and north-Norfolk, the City of Norwich, and everything in between. It is an ideal base for walkers, birdwatchers or those steeling away for a break in Norfolk, and also perfect for a romantic escape from Norwich or environs if you live in Norfolk.
Second, Field House is multi-award winning and can boast (though it is modestly proud, rather than being ‘brash’ about its numerous accolades), among others, being a AA 5 Yellow Stars Highly Commended Guesthouse 2008/09 (the top award from the AA), receiving a Breakfast Award from the AA, winning ‘Bed & Breakfast Of The Year’ in the Excellence in England Awards 2004-05, being holder of the English Tourism Council ‘Gold Award’, being an English Tourism 5 diamond Guesthouse…. you get the idea!
Finally, and this is the reason why Field House has received so many awards, is the extremely high quality of not only the guest house and rooms itself, but also the warm hospitality of The Doltons, who own it. The three rooms are beautifully decorated in a chic but homely style, with superb fixtures, fittings and facilities (including flat-screen TV, DVD player, mini-fridge). Lavender Cottage is a highlight in many respects, being a secluded apartment that is separate from the main house (and accessible to wheelchairs due to its ground floor location). Breakfasts are top quality, prepared with fresh, locally produced ingredients and include delights such as the ‘Norfolk Platter’, local sea-lavender honey with toast and buttermilk blueberry pancakes. Wendy even operates a ‘turn down’ service (the practice of folding back the blanket and sheet of the bed each day so you can just slide in and drift off to dreamland, usually only practised in the finest hotels).
The Sunday Times remarked, “The Doltons should be hired by the government to run a Bed and Breakfast academy”. It’s easy to see why…
Tariffs start at £45 – £55 per person per night.

The Neptune Restaurant With Rooms.
85 Old Hunstanton Road, Old Hunstanton,
Norfolk, PE36 6HZ.
Tel: 01485 532122.
Recipient of a coveted Michelin Star (one of only two Norfolk eateries to receive such an honour) The Neptune Restaurant at Old Hunstanton is exceptional on so many levels that it must be visited at least once when visiting the area. And if you are lucky enough to reside in Norfolk then this charming treasure is more than worth the journey.
The site of ‘The Rifleman’ in the 1780’s when it was used as a store for seized contraband, it has been known as The Neptune since the 19th century. Now under the careful ownership of Kevin and Jacki Mangoelles, the Restaurant with rooms has been transformed to evoke images of the New England coast of Maine – warm and friendly, but with a generous portion of outstanding quality.
With nautical themes throughout, brown mellow tones and white clapboard walls, The Neptune could easily be fragranced by either home-baked apple pie or salty sea air. The Lloyd Loom sofas and chairs add to the relaxed ambience of the bar, lounge and restaurant.
Under Head Chef Kevin (who also earned a Michelin star in his last restaurant on the Isle of Wight), the classic-modern food at The Neptune is lovingly created from fresh local produce such as Thornham Oysters and Plums from Orchard Farm. Already a prestigious 3 AA Rosette restaurant, The Neptune is a permanent 5 star fixture in the Good Food Guide.
Sunday lunch is available.
True to its origin as a coaching inn, The Neptune offers accommodation in 7 fabulous en-suite bedrooms, all furnished with the clean lines of white, hand made New England furniture.
Dinner served Tues – Sun 7pm-9pm.
Sunday lunch 12Noon – 1.30pm.
Lunch Tuesday – Friday by arrangement.
Closed Mondays.
