Three double bedroom fisherman’s cottage-breathtaking views across RSPB marshes.
Cley is a beautiful village on the breathtaking North Norfolk coast. Mariners hard is an old fisherman’s cottage but internally a modern and well maintained, well equipped, three double bedroom house. Mariners hard sits on the high street at Cley and is a two minute walk to the pub, art gallery, pottery and deli. Outside of the cottage there is a path taking you through the marshland to the beach. There are numerous beautiful walks from the cottage - across the marsh land to Blakeney to the west or Salt-marsh to the east. Mariners hard cottage is equipped and maintained to a high standard. There are three double bedrooms all with Egyptian cotton sheets and duck-down bedding. A large sitting area with a cosy log fire. For eating there is a large dining table and an outside space with a dining area and bbq for alfresco dining.

Best shower in UK
The welcome kit was great and the shower was absolutely wonderful. Location is fantastic. Everything worked well. One minor niggle with resetting the lock box otherwise perfect.

Mariners Hard - A Real Gem in Cley
We’ve been staying in Blakeney and Cley for many years in a whole range of properties. It was lovely to discover a new gem in this cottage. We always think there are three fundamental qualities that are needed for an enjoyable stay: location, comfortable bedrooms and good bathrooms/showers (especially with the rain and mud we had!) The cottage scored super highly on all three. A two minute walk from the Windmill and our beloved George pub ; a short hop to the Cley beach road and paths; lovely beds and great quality showers (not always the case in these older cottages).
The property was warm and comfortable with a nice sitting area for the evenings. A special thanks for the effortless check in: Jo’s communication before our stay was quick and friendly and she allowed us to arrive a bit earlier on the Friday, with the heating already on a welcome basket waiting.
It was a wonderful stay - the cottage is highly recommended. As we left we were talking about how much we’d like to return… Thanks KB & family

Very special home in an unforgettable setting
We adored our time here for a very memorable late Autumn break. Such a stylish and comfortable home with real attention to detail. The owners have gone the extra mile... beds are supremely comfortable with lovely linen and the rest of the house is just a special.
What a treat to be able to walk from the house onto the marshes and take a footpath to the sea. Wildlife in this part of Norfolk always delivers a spectacle and we enjoyed 'close views' of Barn Owls and Marsh Harriers, huge flocks Geese and much more. Excellent places to eat within so close, an easy walk. The owners have written a really good guide to the area - was really useful.
We know North Norfolk well and have enjoyed holidays here many times. The combination of this house and this location is a real winner. We loved it all!

Charming cottage in a wonderful location.
The beds and bed linen were wonderful. Really comfortable. It was disappointing that the deli did not deliver the welcome pack until the next day but the cottage owner got on to that quickly. We were warned it might be cold as it is an old cottage and it was, so
It would have been nice if there was some low heating on to take the chill off.
