Beautiful, stylish barn. Family & pet friendly. Close to beach. 3 nights min.
We're happy to offer 3 nights minimum during non-peak periods. Set within the grounds of The Old Manor House, this charming brick and flint Barn offers spacious and well-appointed accommodation, plus is centrally located in Cley Next the Sea.
Full of character, it comprises 2 double bedrooms and a 3rd, twin room, that leads off from bedroom 2 - it is divided by a door for privacy, but there's no separate entrance, so is ideal for children. It also has generous living/ dining space, a separate kitchen and 2 bathrooms, including the en-suite. There is also a delightful, enclosed garden with table and chairs.
One of the double bedrooms enjoys an en-suite shower room and the other a TV and an adjoining family room. The family room has 2 single beds, plus a truckle bed to sleep a third and is most appropriate for children. High-grade cotton bed linen is provided.
The ground floor bathroom is finished to a high specification, with a Duravit bathroom suite. There is a bath and integrated shower, washbasin and WC. Christy bath and hand towels are provided.
The kitchen is fully equipped, including a Miele oven and Miele hob, microwave, Bosch dishwasher, AEG washer/dryer and fridge with freezer compartment. There is also a large fridge/freezer in the garage (easily accessed via the barn's entrance hall) that is solely for the use of guests. For additional storage space, all the cupboards under the book shelf in main dining/living area are empty and for your use. So there is plenty of space to store things away!
The garage is also useful for guests to store bikes, fishing equipment, body boards or anything else you might wish to store in the dry and out of the barn itself.
The main living/dining area is spacious, with a comfortable seating area and log burner - an initial basket of logs is provided, plus kindling and fire lighters. There is a large, wall-mounted TV with Freeview and internet TV. In addition, there is a DVD player and a selection of DVDs for you to choose from. The dining table is situated near to the kitchen and sits up to 8 comfortably. Two walls are mostly covered with bookshelves and we have plenty for you to read!
Outside there is an attractive garden area, bordered by willow fencing. There is a wooden garden table and chairs with parasol, that sits on a sheltered terrace, plus a small lawn. We provide a BBQ in the summer months. From the back garden you can easily access Cley High Street and all its lovely attractions.

We had a lovely week’s stay in a comfortable home, despite the weather being mixed. It is an excellent position with plenty of places to visit and to eat. The facilities in the home were good although the kitchen is a little small but overall a great stay.

Perfect place to stay if looking for an airy holiday let ; close to two great pubs and a fantastic deli. Compact kitchen but with everything you need. Two good sized bedrooms, with comfortable beds, at either ends of the airy barn conversion. One en-suite and one bathroom downstairs. This can be tricky in the middle of the night. Spotlessly clean apart from very dusty main beams. Hot water plentiful with great water pressure. En-suite shower could do with a little updating as outer surround looking shabby. All other furnishings of quality. We had a great time and would definitely return.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the barn. Everything was exactly as advertised - spacious, clean, very well-equipped, very comfortable, and warm. It is beautifully located - a 2 minute walk to the salt marshes and coastal path, near a pub which does yummy food and close to the local deli and fish shop. Yet it was also beautifully quiet and set back from the road. We are looking forward to visiting again soon.

Manor House Barn caters for all ages: travel cot, high chair and plenty of fridge and freezer space for large families.
The barn is perfectly located in the centre of Cley and is ideal for coastal walks, bird watching or just chilling in the local pub. The deli down the road has a great selection of cakes and special treats you won’t find anywhere else.
Communication with the owner was easy and queries answered quickly .
The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for a family holiday.

The Barn is a wonderful holiday home. Huge main room with ample bedroom space. Lovely enclosed private garden. Located in the centre of Cley - the G&D pub is round the corner.
A great location to visit the delights of Norfolk from. The NWT bird sanctuary is close by with fantastic facilities and beautiful bird life.
The owner Rachel lives next door and really cares about her guests. Thank you Rachel for anther great stay at the Barn - we will be back. Chris
