CAMP KATUR GLAMPING SITE, YORKSHIRE
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.
