Stay at a traditional village inn near the Norfolk coast

Three Swallows is a traditional village pub with guest accommodation overlooking Newgate Green in Cley-next-the-Sea, on the Norfolk Coast. Set beside the village church, with views across the Glaven Valley, the inn offers a relaxed base for exploring the surrounding countryside, coastal villages and nearby Norfolk Coast Path.

Accommodation comprises four en-suite guest rooms in a separate chalet-style building beside the pub. The rooms are comfortably furnished, with tea and coffee-making facilities and private shower rooms. Guests can enjoy breakfast and traditional pub dining, with a restaurant, bar and spacious garden providing places to relax after a day exploring the coast. The garden also features outdoor seating and a pizza oven.

The inn sits on the edge of Cley-next-the-Sea, where quiet lanes and local footpaths lead through the surrounding countryside towards the coast. The nearby Norfolk Coast Path connects Blakeney and Salthouse, passing reedbeds, saltmarshes and open coastal landscapes. Cley Beach offers a broad shingle shoreline, while the historic village centre is known for its flint cottages, independent shops and Cley Windmill.

The nearby Cley Marshes Nature Reserve is one of Norfolk's best-known birdwatching destinations, with freshwater pools, reedbeds and coastal habitats to explore. Further west, Blakeney National Nature Reserve protects extensive saltmarshes and tidal creeks, while inland Holt offers independent shops, galleries and cafés. Together, these places make Three Swallows a convenient base for discovering the Norfolk Coast National Landscape.
