About this property

Hambledon is a beautiful, quaint and much photographed 18th Century Cottage at the heart of the beautiful coastal village of Cley-Next-The-Sea. Tastefully decorated with Farrow & Ball paints and furnished with "And so to Bed" Brass Beds with superb mattresses and with a Fired Earth Slipper bath the cottage has exposed beams, an enclosed courtyard and log burning stove. If you want a traditional cosy cottage yet with modern plumbing and all creature comforts then this will be your ideal Norfolk Coastal 'Home from Home'. Cley-Next-The-Sea is an ideal base for exploring the North Norfolk Heritage Coast on foot, by bike or by car. Only minutes from the sea and a short drive to Blakeney for visiting the seals on Blakeney Point or the Georgian Town of Holt with many interesting 'one of a kind' shops. Cley is also home to Norfolk Wildlife Trust's oldest and best known nature reserve which is readily accessible within three minutes walk of the cottage. A must for keen bird watchers.

The George Inn is less than 100 metres away on foot and is a very friendly local with great food and drink [under going refurbishment and due to re-open in September 2020]. Even nearer is the fabulous exquisite delicatessen "Picnic Fayre' plus the Smoked Fish shop, a new artisan bakery [Pastonacre] and also "Made in Cley" Pottery. Artemis Coffee Cafe is one minute away by foot. A short walk away on the green is the 'Three Swallows' Public House and a few minutes further [again on foot] you will find The Wiveton Bell a beautiful pub with delicious home cooked fare.

Great location!

The cottage was large and well-equipped. Perhaps, though, its due for a revamp, some of decoration and furnishings tired.

Beautiful cottage and location

When we arrived we were delighted with the old fashioned cottage and its little quirks. The location was perfect as it waa close to everything and everywhere we wanted to visit. The bedding was good quality and clean, the beds were very comfortable, we all slept well! The welcome card and flowers was a lovely touch and a little later a welcome hamper was delivered which was a nice touch. Our only criticism was the extensive collection of cobwebs which the cleaner had left and being a dog friendly cottage meant when we went to use the hoover one evening it made the whole downstairs smell of dog but i decided that the moral of the story was not to do housework on holiday! Overall we had a lovely stay and im sure we will be staying in Hambledon again.

Issues resolved.

We stayed for a week in Cley, We had some initial problems such as the initial cleanliness of the house but when we communicated this with Anthony he promply got in new cleaners and the house was so much better. There was an issue with th electrics but again Anthony arranged for an electrician to come out on the Sunday and all was sorted, which we really appreciated.. The house was well equipped and quite spacious for an 18thC cottage. We took my mother in law who struggles with her walking and the access to upstairs was difficult for her as was the main bathroom, there was one staircase that none of used because it was too steep and open tred. If you have any mobility issues contact Anthony first to check. In all we had a nice week and loved the area.

Cottage in a great location and had everything you need.

Cottage in a great location and had everything you need. Stayed in the cottage with 6 adults and a dog and there was plenty of space. Cottage is looking a little tired, living room furniture due for replacing and a modern TV is required. Although kitchen & bathrooms were clean, there was a big build up of dust on skirting boards, carpets, fireplace etc which caused an issue with a member of the family who is an asthma sufferer.

Beautiful, peaceful cottage

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was very well located for exploring North Norfolk. It was very clean and tidy on our arrival and the welcome box of food and wine, etc was very thoughtful. The beds were comfortable and we both really relaxed while we were here.

Very short break

Unfortunately we had to leave the property after only 5 days as my partner had a bad asthma reaction. I had omitted to check that the property had allowed dogs which brought on her attack. However this was not due to any oversight by the owners nor the property description

Lovely stay in Cley

Our whole family had a lovely time in the cottage. It was much bigger than expected with more than enough space for the four adults and two children. There were nice little touches and lots of thought into what might be needed during your break to be comfortable. The owner was very responsive and flexible with us when rearranging the dates of our break due to COVID lockdown restrictions.

Perfect

The cottage is very quaint and completely comfortable. Extremely well stocked there was everything there that we needed. The area is beautiful and all the local shops, cafe and George and Dragon are great, we very much enjoyed lots of delicious food! The people were all very welcoming. You could have a lovely holiday without leaving Cley but if you want to explore further afield the location was perfect to travel by car or bus to lots of lovely locations. Communication with the owner was brilliant too, he was very helpful.

Lovely old fashioned cottage in a great location.

Very comfortable, quaint cottage. Beds very comfortable. A lovely welcome pack with wine, eggs, bread, butter and local jam. Nearby “Picnic Fayre” was brilliant for deli and a few general necessities. Parking was a little tricky but we had been warned and always found a parking place in The Fairstead. Well equipped with soaps, washing up liquid, etc. We had three meals out at The Wiveton Bell (superb), The George & Dragon (also superb) and The White Horse, Blakeney (food good but not great). Wells and Holkham beaches are amazing. Soft clean sand and LOADS of space!! Really enjoyed our week.

Very nice house in a central location for all amenities. The house was very clean and had everything we needed with a lovely welcome pack. The issue with the DVD player was quickly sorted out by Anthony. The village was busy at times with traffic but we could always find parking in the road behind as Anthony advised.

The perfect Autumn break

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Hambledon, such a gorgeous cottage, quaint, quirky, full of character and so very cosy. We had everything there to relax and the owner had thought of everything to make it a home from home. We didn’t want to leave and hope we can return again before too long! The village and location couldn’t be better to explore lovely North Norfolk at any time of the year. Thank you for providing a break from the difficult days of 2020 and the opportunity to have a change of scenery after home working.

Cosy, comfortable and charming

A delightful cottage full of period charm. From the lovely welcome pack to the well equipped kitchen this cottage will remain in our minds as one of our favourite places. For the week we stayed, it accommodated four adults and a large dog in comfort. A great base for exploring the North Norfolk coast. Highly recommended!

Lovely cottage in centre of Cley

Cosy cottage in the beautiful village of Cley - wonderful walks and the amazing deli, bakery and smokehouse all within minutes of the front door. The house was clean and comfortable. The little courtyard at the back was nice to sit out in. The busy A road goes straight past the house and although there is lots of traffic in the day, it is very quiet at night. Comfortable beds, lovely roll-top bath and very well-supplied kitchen. It was a treat to receive a delicious welcome package from the deli opposite on the second day!
