The Perks of Self-Catering Accommodation in Cley
Greater flexibility
One of the biggest advantages of booking one of our Cley Next The Sea cottages is flexibility. With your own kitchen, you can eat on your schedule—cook up fresh seafood from the local smokehouse, pack a picnic for the salt marshes, or enjoy a quiet breakfast in your garden.
More space
Our cottages also offer far more space than a hotel or B&B, giving you separate living areas, bedrooms, and outdoor spaces. It’s perfect for families with kids and pets, couples who want privacy, and anyone who appreciates room to relax.
Increased comfort and convenience
And because we offer properties with pet-friendly features, wood-burning stoves, and modern essentials like Wi-Fi and smart TVs, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort or convenience.

Whether you want to unwind with a book by the fire or enjoy drinks in the garden as the sun sets over the coast, our luxury holiday accommodations in Norfolk make it possible.
