The North Norfolk coast is a wonderful place to call home throughout your holiday. Dotted with fantastic beaches, quirky fishing villages and delicious eateries serving up the catch of the day, escape the hustle and bustle and embark on exciting adventures by the sea. Your furry-pawed friend is welcome at this pretty abode, so grab the dog a bone and leave nobody behind.

 

Admire the characterful stone exterior before throwing off muddy items and drying off soggy paws in the lobby. The hub of the home is the open-plan living space where the kitchen, lounge and dining spaces welcome communal evenings on the sofa. Switch on the TV whilst the designated cook rustles up something delicious to be enjoyed at the dining table or take a plate outside and dine alfresco; an ice compartment in the kitchen means tipples can be kept perfectly chilled. Should you eat outside, please note that there is right of way to the neighbouring property through the courtyard. Once the sun has set and it’s time to call it a night, head back inside and up the steep cottage-style stairs to rest your head. The king-size bedroomhas plenty of storage for all of your belongings so you can feel right at home. Start the day with a shower in the fabulous wet room before descending downstairs for a morning cuppa.

 

Cley-next-the-Sea is famed for its 18th-century windmill but is also home to a fabulous array of tearooms, independent shops and places to grab a hearty meal. Whet your appetite with a taste of crab 12 miles away in the seaside town of Cromer before wandering up the pier, or chase sticks and make a splash at dog-friendly Holkham Beach, 11 miles away.

We had a fantastic stay at Catlin Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The property is beautifully presented, exceptionally well equipped, and has clearly been finished to a very high standard. Everything we needed was provided, making it feel like a true home away from home. The location is excellent peaceful and relaxing, yet convenieRead morently close to local restaurants and an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. There are plenty of wonderful walks nearby, and we particularly loved having an excellent deli and smokehouse within easy reach, making it simple to stock up on high-quality local produce and treats during our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend Catlin Cottage to anyone visiting the area. We certainly hope to return in the future. Hide

I am 60 this year and have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years - this was the best, excellent cleanliness and very well equipped ( even a spirit measure for a large G & T). Highly recommended.

A very nice cottage in a good location in wonderful Cley. I echo the description of another guest: The stairs are not for the faint-hearted. They require concentration especially when carrying something.

The cottage provided a truly relaxed environment from which we could walk to the nature reserve and to the next village via the coastal path. The situation to local shops and excellent pubs was perfect. Even though we went in February there was still plenty to see and do. Thank you for the Welcome Pack, another touch that made our stay so memoRead morerable. Hide

Cley is a beautiful village in a lovely area of Norfolk that we know well. Catlin Cottage is really tastefully refurbished,warm and spotlessly clean.Would happily go back.The parking in the road is limited at busy times but we used the free village hall carpark and it was fine. Best welcome pack we have had for a long time!!

Spent a lovely week at 1 Catlin Cottages. We both loved it. The cottage was thoughtfully equipped. A lot of reviews mention the tight stairs and its true they may be challenging if you aren't nimble but it wasn't a problem for us - you just need to be careful. The little outside area was a sun trap. Its proximity to local walks and the village pubsRead more was excellent. Hide

Caitlin cottage was gorgeous, it was cosy and quiet. The cottage had everything we needed and a lovely comfy bed. The location is wonderful - the village itself is beautiful and has options for eating out or buying local produce but it's also a great place to explore North Norfolk from. There are lots of dog friendly places too!

What a gorgeous cottage and lovely holiday! The cottage is very thoughtfully kitted out and you can see it has been renovated at whatever point to a really high standard. It was like a home from home. And, location was perfect too. The Harbser is the best place to eat in Cley - highly recommend. A truly lovely holiday.

Lovely little cottage tucked away off the high street, consequently, very quiet. Also very dark at night, thanks for providing a torch. Much appreciated when taking the dog out last thing. Nicely decorated and almost everything you need for your home from home. We had a lovely week visiting old haunts and doing lots of walking.

Second visit to this property and just as lovely as the first time. Very central location in Cley with both the Hanser and George pub a stones throw away. Would recommend. Stairs a little steep for those who have mobility issues, but otherwise lovely.

Gorgeous cottage in a wonderful location. So relaxing. Friendly neighbours and Cley is probably one of the most unspoilt coastal locations in Norfolk. Harmser pub/restaurant just 2 doors away is amazing.
