Barn Drift - Self-catering in Norfolk
Barn Drift, Old Woman's Lane, Cley next the Sea, NR25 7AZ, Norfolk
England,
Reino Unido
Let yourself in through the arched door – this lovely house was once a cattle shed, left to crumble when the cattle moved to new digs. Bedrooms are calm and filled with books, antiques and fresh flowers from the garden. Sink into squashy sofas in the drawing room for after-dinner drinks from the honesty bar.
The dining hall can seat up to 45, but is equally lovely for cosy dinner parties and folding doors give views over the walled garden, its mature olive and fig trees and many roses. The three linked walled gardens are full of birdsong and sun all day long, and lovely for wandering in and out; sprawl on neat lawns or read under the umbrella of the Persian ironwoods.
The well-equipped kitchen is a pleasure to cook in – with oodles of space for wine and all your supplies – and there's a Big Green Egg for barbecuing. Spot seabirds and spoonbills on walks through the salt marsh to the beach for a morning dip; explore the delis and pubs of Cley, browse antiques in Georgian Holt.

Local points of interest from Alice Atkinson:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Alice Atkinson:
- Go to the well established Picnic Fayre for cheese, wine, sausage rolls, milk, chocs & incredible pastries made by a retired pastry chef just a few doors along! Also in Cley is the long established Smoke House for the finest smoked fish and crayfish tails.
- The beautiful coastal path, accessed from Barn Drift on foot will take you to the east or west for over 20 miles of stunning & varied marsh & beach paths. Walk east to Salthouse village shop & Dun Cow pub or west to Cley and Blakeney for even more.
- Pink Foot Gallery in Cley sells art & sculptures. The Barn at Artemis, tucked behind Artemis Cafe, sell anything from dresses to antiques. Cley Windmill sometimes has a pop up cafe - keep an eye on their website.The 2nd hand book shop opposite is wonderful.
- On the Coast Road, is the NWT Bird centre overlooking the stunning Cley Marsh, world famous for its birds, frequented by migrating birds. Book a seal trip from Morston on an old fishing boat to see the local seal colony basking on Blakeney Point.
- Holt, 3 miles in land has food halls, cafes, boutique, gift shops and antique halls. Bayfield Hall Stables Antique Centre is found west of Holt or visit the masses of open gardens & stately homes all around, such as Felbrig, Blickling, Holkham or Houghton.
- The pubs & restaurants locally are fantastic, ranging from the best local crab sold from a garden shed on the village green in Salthouse to Morston Hall where one of England's finest chefs will cook for you - and everything in-between.
