Cley Windmill is a gorgeous place to stay . It ’ s been a landmark on the North Norfolk Coast since the early 18th century , but it may be more familiar to parents of very young children as the basis for the house in Grandpa In My Pocket . Versatile and very different , this boutique bed and breakfast has plenty to offer . Breathtaking sea views and the chance to experience the surrounding salt marshes are all part of the charm , but it is the building itself that really stands out . There are nine rooms in Cley Windmill , all of them en suite , and each of them different to the last . They are all furnished in perfect keeping with the history of the windmill , and , along with excellent food and fantastic service , this is definitely somewhere you will want to return to again and again . www . cleywindmill . co . uk
