Local area:

The picturesque village of Cley is on the north Norfolk coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Lodge is ideal for a peaceful break from the hubub of life or can be used as a base to explore the area,

For those not wanting to venture far, the marshes, windmill, Picnic Fayre - the award winning deli, pottery studio 'Made in Cley', The Smokehouse, local pub the Three Swallows, and the mediaeval church are all within a few minutes walk.

Some options open to guests who wish to explore further afield are lovely walks, birdwatching, crabbing, seal spotting, cycling and visiting stately homes. There are often art and craft exhibitions on in the area. We particularly like the work of local artist John Hurst.
