Tim, you've found our favourite place! We've stayed here a few times since 2016 (birthday treats) and we love it so much that we got married there in September 2021. We booked the entire Windmill and had a marquee put up in the garden. All our family stayed in the Windmill and loved it too. Every room is different and has it's own charm. Unfortunately, it blew a gale on our wedding day and I had visions of chasing the marquee over the marshes! It was a wonderful day in spite of the weather. We actually married in the breakfast room which was set up beautifully for the wedding ceremony. We really can't fault the place and hope to visit every year for a long time to come. You've really made my day!
That's a beautiful choice for a wedding. We've stayed there before and enjoyed it. There was a stormy night for us too, complete with high tide on the river which rose dramatically. Very atmospheric.
My daughter got married there too. It was great having the whole windmill to yourselves. Owners were lovely too. I think it’s lovely as an intimate wedding venue.
I might be controversial here, but what I love about our English weather are the windy days followed by a beautiful washed clean blue and sparkly day. I also love rain after a hot and sunny spell. I have travelled and nowhere else in the World I've visited has had that wonderful washed clean crisp ozone scent. 😁❤️
Jacqueline, you know there’s a word for that beautiful earthy scent is activated….petrichor. Coined in 1964 by two researchers specialising in mineral chemistry. It’s constructed from Ancient Greek… Petra, meaning rock Ichor, the golden fluid that flows through the gods in Greek mythology
I use earplugs, I live near a busy road, and also busy with loud people during the weekend nights. They work....like a charm. Even my former neighbor who was very loud many many nights. Once I started using the earplugs, he could make as much noise as he wanted, I slept like a baby, couldn't hear it. I put my alarmclock in ny phone at the loudest, and it wakes me up perfectly. Also in hotels I use the earplugs, no one is keeping me awake at night anymore. 😊
It looked lovely. The accommodation was very cosy and homely. The fried breakfast looked delicious 😋 The surrounding area/the views were stunning. However…I think £245 a night is rather steep. The room, although lovely, was rather snug. Noise from the selfish sods upstairs would have annoyed me. Yes, of course you are going to hear people in an old building with wooden floors but banging doors late and early is just plain thoughtless. Would I like to stay here? Yes. Would I pay £245? No.
@@johngalt6708 Oh absolutely. You’re paying for the novelty factor. I totally get it. But it’s still too much 😮 😂 I’ve just paid £279 for a 3 night cottage break. I know it’s not directly comparable, but I’d rather have 3 nights away than just 1.
Got to say that this is probably my favourite of your stays, Tim! What a beautiful place, with that view across the marshes, and being able to be walk through the swishing reeds. And the windmill...always been my dream to live in one. And the room was exactly what I like. Really lovely, thanks for this.
We got married at cley windmill in 2016 and hired the whole windmill for us and our guests! Would absolutely recommend staying or getting married here the food was beautiful to.
What a great place to stay, and it's good to see an old building being preserved and put to good use. I loved the room, shame you didn't get a better sleep though, and I would stay there if I could afford it. As someone who lives not far from North Wales I am always amazed by how flat Norfolk is, that's a real novelty for me! Talking of North Wales have you thought about staying in Portmeirion Village? I've been there on a day out, but not stayed, but I bet it is a lovely place to stay.
So charming! They should have a white noise machine in each room. You can also use white noise apps which definitely help. I live in an apartment with a toddler above me so my white noise machine is essential!
You certainly do find some unique places at which to stay. Worth the money for the experience. Lovely location. Very impressed with the fresh milk in the room.
You’re staying in so many unique (and bucket list) places these days - you’re helping me build my ‘I must go here at some point’ list, and for that, thank you!
I highly recommend West Usk Lighthouse in South Wales. I used to live near by and spent my wedding night there. They have a free to use hot tub up on the roof - it's short flat lighthouse. The rooms were lovely and the area was nice for a stroll. Also, on the lighthouse theme, I got married in Nashpoint Lighthouse, and they have beautiful cottages next door which are absolutely gorgeous too. Yeap, I love lighthouses
Beautiful B&B 😍and the breakfast is far superior to any of the five star hotels I’ve seen you review. Well done to the owners. 👏 Love the channel btw. I own a B&B in the south of France so its really interesting to watch your videos. 👍
Wow what a beautiful place so warming, it would be nice if they provided a couple of folding chairs so on a summers day you could sit on the balcony with a cup of tea or glass of wine.
We often walk past as it's one of our favourite dog walks, great to see what it's like inside 😊 we won a Wallace & Gromit competition many years ago in the EDP and the prize was a stay in The Windmill B&B in Scarborough, all I remember is the sound of the Seagulls! Looks like it's still operating, you'll have to check that one out when your up North 😊👍🏻
Hi Tim have you considered staying at the Assembly House in Norwich? If you book directly with them they do a "fizz stay "deal you get afternoon tea bed and breakfast and a bottle of fizz in your room .You pick which room you want the rooms are lovely and spacious you wouldn't be disappointed. Or if your not bothered about after tea you can book through Norfolk passport and get 10% off. So much cheaper than the windmill and I think so much nicer 😊
Hi Tim I think its worth the money because its so unusual and when you went through the reads I was surprised there was some tables and chairs to sit down in amongst the reads how different your room was very nice and had your own key for the balcony I would not mind staying there thank you Tim for showing us
Thank you Tim for showing everyone our beautiful North Norfolk coast. We say 'Cly' for Cley but that might be a Norwich thing. Gorgeous accommodation and the views are as always, breath taking.
Most locals call it Cly as in fly but it has changed pronunciations numerous times over the centuries. It's certainly leaning more towards Cly with the gentrification of the area
I've always pronounced it as Cly... Oh, the big scary face on the fireplace is actually a Green Man, an early pagan and Christian symbol which is generally a benign character. He is normally found alot in churches.
I really love watching videos about UK destinations. English hospitality is simply different, I think because of all the history connected to it. Wonderful video and STUNNING location!
Brilliant video Tim! I love Windmills and I’ve often wondered what it would be like to stay there at Cley. Looks amazing I would love to stay there.👍👌👌
Windmill's are great. You crack me up "It doesn't feel like I'm staying in a Windmill, it feels more like a lighthouse." The balcony (to me) seems much more desirable than an upper room.
I love this! My fav kind of place to stay. I’d choose this over all the expensive places you’ve stayed. And dinner in the little town would be a charming walk. Very noce!
Hi TIm, oh my goodness that windmill looked amazing would jump at the chance of staying there we think your videos are fantastic and really are educational we love Norfolk hoping to spend a few days away in Hemsby on a much needed holiday thank you Tim for making our day we love all your videos 😊
Hi Tim, As I have mentioned before my memories of Cley are from my Birdwatching weekends in the 70’ and 80’s , when with a friend we used to pop into Nancy’s Cafe ( Long gone ) for breakfast and to have our flasks filled for the day listening to a well known birdwatching TV naturalist discuss what birds had been spotted and we also used CB Radio’s, we used to have Breakfast at the Harnser, which has now been re-branded Cooks of Cley, in the village, everyday we used to have fresh crab salads there, we never got to visit Cley Windmill as I think it may have been privately owned back then , but when you say in your video it is a superb scene looking eastwards to the sea to watch the sunrise would not be disappointed , the place looks very well appointed, very clean and probably worth every penny you paid, thank you for sharing this video, it brings back such poignant memories, Cheers Mike
Just love the North Norfolk coastline. Special place. However don't think I would have been too happy with people plonking about on stairs above my head all night. I've got really noisy neighbours where I live so to go away and spend 245 quid on a room to have more of the same would be gutting! Had too many holidays with thoughtless people late at night. But it WAS a lovely room & quite special...just sorry you had to put up with the disturbance upstairs. I'd have had to tell them I'm afraid!! The Blakeney seals just along the coast there are really something special as well. Lovely area. x J x
In this case, I'd say the price being worth it depends on what you're looking for. To me personally, the scenery and ambiance seem charming enough, and the room has enough amenities, that I'd pay 245 pounds a night for it pretty happily. But then, I live in the American South West. So to me, this would be a very unique and novel experience, maybe even once in a lifetime.
Hi Tim, I have got to say Wow what a beautiful Windmill you got to stay in, the lovely views, the harbour and reed island with the chairs & tables is just absolutely stunning, I will have to stay here one day in the future with my wife, another great review! 😊
I Stay In A Prison Hotel 👉ua-cam.com/video/mxo6k8vGmBc/v-deo.html

I thought you'd been to Butlins at Skegness
Hi Tim! You should stay at the aphrodite suites in the lake district :)

its beautiful but expensive lol thanks for watching Carole

I was just thinking it looked like a great honeymoon spot! 😅

This is the perfect description!! I love living in the English countryside and enjoy the contrast we get in the weather.
👏👏👏👏👏

Why are you controversial?
@@rusty5078 haven't been to Switzerland but would love to go 🙂
I stayed in that same room five years ago and loved it. Great to see it again.
I use earplugs, I live near a busy road, and also busy with loud people during the weekend nights. They work....like a charm. Even my former neighbor who was very loud many many nights. Once I started using the earplugs, he could make as much noise as he wanted, I slept like a baby, couldn't hear it. I put my alarmclock in ny phone at the loudest, and it wakes me up perfectly.

I couldn’t agree more!
Bloody hell, James blunt was lucky growing up, what an amazing place to live 😊

Would I like to stay here? Yes.
Would I pay £245? No.
It can be a lot more expensive peak season!
@@WalkWithMeTim it's the Easter half term holidays at the moment, maybe that's why it was so much?
I agree, it's a bit over priced, but for the novelty and location worth a night.
@@johngalt6708 Oh absolutely. You’re paying for the novelty factor. I totally get it. But it’s still too much 😮 😂 I’ve just paid £279 for a 3 night cottage break. I know it’s not directly comparable, but I’d rather have 3 nights away than just 1.
Great analysis Nikki spot on! Pure honesty love it! I wouldn't pay that money either.

This is a unique place to stay , very different, great location. Like the outside seating in the reeds.

Easily in my top ten places to visit, this is right up my alley for a unique spot to stay for a weekend.

A bit too expensive but a unique experience for one night.

It was a very good travel blog today when you chilling out and staying in cley windmill in norfolk tim
I would love to stay here, it looks stunning
a lot of noise from upstairs? you should of knocked and asked to join in 😂
How lovely and cosy. Love from sunny (rainy) Bournemouth ❤
Thank you Tim for showing everyone our beautiful North Norfolk coast. We say 'Cly' for Cley but that might be a Norwich thing. Gorgeous accommodation and the views are as always, breath taking.

What a fantastic place to stay. So different
Very!
I really love watching videos about UK destinations. English hospitality is simply different, I think because of all the history connected to it. Wonderful video and STUNNING location!
Wife and I popped in there for a nice cup of tea when we where on holiday ... very nice and unusual ...
In Kent there are round oast houses. There are several converted and used as hotels etc. You might like them.
Brilliant video Tim! I love Windmills and I’ve often wondered what it would be like to stay there at Cley. Looks amazing I would love to stay there.👍👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it matt
Would definitely like to stay here. It is very, very nice! Great video.
That is a lovely video staying in a windmill just great and in James blunts old room beautiful.
yep norfolk is awsome born here raised here never wanna leave here
My perfect dream home anyway day of the week, love it! Xx
Looks like cley windmill just up road from where I grew up. If so, james blunts dad used to own it.
Beautiful, thank you Tim1😘💚
Awesome, always loved the old windmills.
That’s a good looking car. Love the direction based bongs on the parking sensors.
?
Strange! This comment was supposed to be for the video I watched before this 😄😂
Very nice, I would start there and walk to the nearest beach and pubs.
Windmill's are great.
You crack me up "It doesn't feel like I'm staying in a Windmill, it feels more like a lighthouse."
The balcony (to me) seems much more desirable than an upper room.
Looks lovely. Might be an option for my husband's 60th birthday. I would definitely stay there.
You should!
What a magical place, thanks for taking us on that beautiful walk.
I love it when you stay in a unique hotel. These videos are so much fun to watch!
Beautiful view 4:06 . I would stay in that windmill if I am in the area. I would love the experience.
Thanks Tim fantastic and lovely views , enjoyed watching this , look forward to the Yvonne 😊
Wow what a fantastic place to stay & thanks Tim 🤗
Love the room so cozy
What a beautiful place! I’d definitely love to stay for a couple of nights and go exploring during the day. So unique! Thanks Tim. xo
I love this! My fav kind of place to stay. I’d choose this over all the expensive places you’ve stayed. And dinner in the little town would be a charming walk. Very noce!
So cozy looking!!! I’d need to stay at the very top, there’s no way I could sleep w/ guests walking up and down like that.
OMG you're staying in the windmill where James Blunt stayed .... YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL LMAO !!
Great tim, hope your well. another place on my list now to try!
Stunning location and views. What a wonderful place to stay. You always seem to find different things to vlog about, thank you x
Glad you enjoyed it
The House in the Clouds in thorpeness , Suffolk
Literally only just drove past this on Easter Sunday and we said we should visit …..
What a wonderful place to stay Tim. Just beautiful views and so interesting. This area is so pretty. Hope you had a nice stay in the Windmill👏🏻💕
This is absolutely adorable! I'd stay here in a heartbeat!
I think I am a bit in love with this hotel
Born in wells,next,the,sea,,next town up ,I often pop to cley to the delicatessen, lovely little village but gets extremely busy,,,,
honestly looks quite cozy, looks centuries old
What a lovely place to say and full marks to you for supporting independent businesses 👌🏻
Absolutely!
Hi TIm, oh my goodness that windmill looked amazing would jump at the chance of staying there we think your videos are fantastic and really are educational we love Norfolk hoping to spend a few days away in Hemsby on a much needed holiday thank you Tim for making our day we love all your videos 😊
wow tim that is beautful.i love it. i need to try this. great videos and thank you. x
You are very welcome
Could try the Mead in Coltishall Tim, they've just had some updates done. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend.
I will check it out
Yep nice and breakfast looked good ! Little john from chichester
Looks beautiful
The Windmill Hotel in Rye, East Sussex is also a must visit and a lovely town.

thanks for sharing those mike
What a quaint hotel
Looks great Tim. I would stop there.
I’m less than 2 minutes in but …. WOW 😊 what a lovely romantic getaway ❤
Great video as always. Wow what an experience staying in that room. It’s nice when you can see your car from your hotel room.
Enjoy your windmill hotel Tim fromAndrewmay in yarmouth
There is a park in the Tenby area where you can stay in a UFO pod, an aeroplane etc
Thanks for the tip
Tim would love to see you stay in a lighthouse but great video as always
It must take you forever to film these, all the different camera shots you produce, very clever and brilliant video's
A lot lol
Loved your vblog Tim that was a nice place the windmill I thought it was expensive
Well done again. I don't know how you find these places 👌👌
This is one of the most beautiful places you've stayed! The only thing missing is Gabby and Casper!
yes agree
Those carved stone faces (is grotesques the correct term for them?) over the fireplace are awesome, they're a really nice touch :D
Looks great
Another beautiful place! I’d love to stay there for a week and take long walks each day!
Just love the North Norfolk coastline. Special place. However don't think I would have been too happy with people plonking about on stairs above my head all night.

The Blakeney seals just along the coast there are really something special as well. Lovely area. x J x
Think you meant Blakeney point, Brancaster is a few miles along the coast
What a beautiful place😍. Such a shame you had noisy people above you. Didn't know the James Blunt connection!
Hi Tim, try out Portmeirion in North Wales, either a cottage or the Hotel
I think you Gab and your little man should try Glamping. It's great fun, particularly now the weather is improving
agree but hate spiders lol
fab and informative video as always Tim. Well done for not describing the view as "youre beautiful" and ending it with "goodbye my lover" lol
Lol
Looks great. Need you to stay in a treehouse next! :)
In this case, I'd say the price being worth it depends on what you're looking for. To me personally, the scenery and ambiance seem charming enough, and the room has enough amenities, that I'd pay 245 pounds a night for it pretty happily. But then, I live in the American South West.

Of course, the windmill belonged to James Blunt. Love Cley and surrounding Blakeney, Tim. 👍
Lovely place, great video Tim.
Thanks 👍
Nice One Tim 👍.
Thanks 👍
It's not a hotel, more self catering but the LV14 SULA Lightship moored in Gloucester Docks is a very quirky place to stay apparently!
The room I stayed in is not self-catering
@@WalkWithMeTim I meant the Lightship is self catering and isn't a hotel or B&B
Hi Tim, I have got to say Wow what a beautiful Windmill you got to stay in, the lovely views, the harbour and reed island with the chairs & tables is just absolutely stunning, I will have to stay here one day in the future with my wife, another great review! 😊
Thanks Dean
