You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

CHILDREN FRIENDLY
For guests with small children, we have a travel cot, 1 high chair and a booster seat and both sets of stairs are fitted with stair gates. We also have some games available for older children.

The local area itself has lots of things for younger children to do, including crabbing at Blakeney, the seal trips from Morston and Blakeney Quays, plus within walking distance of the barn is a small playground. North Norfolk itself is full of fun activities for children and we have details within the barn.

PET FRIENDLY
We are happy to accommodate 1 small to medium, fully house-trained dog, but kindly ask guests to let us know in advance. We also ask for dogs to only to be allowed downstairs and have stair gates to help with this.

From the barn, there is a wide range of distractions all within easy walking distance. You can view the beautiful marshes by taking a walk along the Cley-to-Blakeney sea wall. Or you could stroll to the beach, accessed via the marshes, and watch the sea fishing or simply enjoy a walk along Cley's shingle beach. Alternatively the Norfolk Wildlife Trust visitors centre is nearby and is the perfect place from which to take in the marshes and bird watching facilities.

Back Again

The Barn still has that wow factor on entry. Fabulous large open lounge, well equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, large bedrooms - one with an extra room. All well equipped and decorated. Use of extra fridge freezer in adjoining garage. Parking for 2 cars (a premium in Cley). Well located for the North Norfolk towns, NWT bird centre and there is a great pub round the corner. No wonder we go back!!

Manor House Barn

We spent a very enjoyable week at Manor Barn. It is comfortable, very well equipped and spacious, perfectly suited for our family group of grandparents, parents, toddler and dog. There is the added bonus of parking and a small private garden. The barn is peacefully located with café, pubs, and a delicatessen in walking distance. Walks from the door to the beach, marshes and Blakeney.

Great location for a weekend getaway

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.
