Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had the most wonderful ceremony at The Windmill - it exceeded our expectations! The team were just great to work with. Nothing was too much bother. They made the planning so easy. With regular email contact and face to face visits to ensure we were all well informed. The execution on the day was very slick and professional. All done quietly and without fuss, leaving us to thoroughly enjoy our day. A special thanks to Hayley who was our main event planning team member. She was fun to work with and communications were great. Having met all of the team, I think you can be confident that whoever you work with - you will always get the same level of service. Should you chose to work with their preferred service providers, we can highly recommend, Tim Doyle-Photographer, Bev Lubbuck - Serendipity and Avril Read - Chef2dine4. They work seamlessly together - just what you want o your special day!

An amazing and quirky hotel that provides a very different experience, great breakfast, lovely comfortable rooms and a little bar for a drink if you need one. From many rooms you can look out across the marshes and see the sea level rise in the creaks

We had a great weekend at Cley Windmill. First of all - this is not a modern 5* hotel - it is a 200 year old listed building so approach it expecting some quirks. And there are many! We stayed in both the Boathouse and Stone rooms. Both were lovely and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the fact that there was fresh milk in the fridges rather that UHT. Breakfast was just about the best I've had. The option for fresh smoked fish was amazing - the haddock was cooked perfectly. Everyone that worked there was very friendly and made sure we were looked after. We will definitely go back. If you are thinking about going - do it!

My wife and I stay here for three nights in September and it was everything we wished for. We stay in a lovely room which had been a store originally and it was cosy and had everything we could possibly want. Breakfast was excellent with super staff. It was so peaceful apart from the occasional low flying fighter jets from U.K. bases nearby. A good selection for local pubs etc nearby where we had dinner and all were excellent. This is certainly a place to visit

Great place, it’s a windmill so it’s quirky, steps, ladders, all kinds of fun. Rooms in the tower or rooms in the outbuildings. All have a unique factor, we stayed in the old cart room which was lovely, little kitchen, mezzanine level, wonderful lighting, remote velux windows in the roof, fab bed, comfy mattress, it was warm so the tower fan kept us cool through the night. Great room. Breakfast was wonderful, exactly what a good full English is all about, other options available, oerfs Benedict, fish options also. Lovely location, staff that can’t do enough for you, mini bottles of milk available for those brews in your room. Terrific place, memorable stay, highly recommend.

A quick Norfolk flit (on a complete whim) to try and make the most of some rare July sunshine. Was totally surprised that rooms were available at the windmill. So splashed out and booked the Stone Room only the day before travelling. I wish I'd recorded the boyfriend's reaction when he saw the windmill and then genuinely couldn't believe we were staying inside. They have bigger rooms, but this one incorporates the tower, original beams and private balcony. The bed was so comfy and they even supply flannels (alongside hand and bath towels) and the balcony was lit up with fairy lights at night ... It's the little things! Wifi was really good however TV signal was woeful ... so we just signed into streaming. Breakfast was exceptional and served to a leisurely 10.15am. Help yourself to the usual cereals, pastries, juices, then order cooked items. I had the most delicious porridge whilst the chef accommodated my boyfriend's request for smoked salmon muffin with a side of sausages and plenty of toast to share. We didn't need lunch, nor dinner! After check out, we walked to Cley beach via the raised salt marsh path which also gave some beautiful views of the windmill. It was truly a stunningly quirky place to stay and I loved every minute!

We have just spent 3 wonderfull days at Cley Windmill, for our daughter’s wedding. Donatas and his team were exceptionally good at looking after our every need, nothing was too much trouble. We used all of the facilities with the wedding ceremony out on the Reed Bed, what a unique experience, the reception in the Mill, so quirky and the evening reception and dancing in the Marquee, all of which went without a hitch and will leave us with the best memories of the day. Couldn’t recommend the Mill or Donatas and his team more highly for you or your loved ones special day.

We stayed in two rooms as we extended our booking and the rooms weren’t available for both nights. We were in the River Room first: a gorgeous, nicely decorated big room on the ground floor with direct garden access. The bathroom had a bath and shower over. Kettle, mugs, desk, drinks fridge, window seats. We moved to the Stone room for our second night: a much smaller room, but just as lovely and with a private balcony overlooking the marshes to the sea. The hotel took care of moving our luggage and it was seamless. Wi-Fi was good. Parking was a bit of a challenge but we got good spaces both nights. Breakfast was an excellent full English and Eggs Benedict. The location is fabulous, in the heart of the village and a lovely footpath to the beach, about a mile away.

Just got back from this lovely unique place to stay! Had an absolute blast! The people of Norfolk are very friendly! However, Donatas from the Windmill has to get special praise. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he made sure my stay was as enjoyable as possible. I work in customer care myself so appreciate the role but Donatas is a credit to the windmill and I hope the owners read this and reward him for his great work and attitude! Breakfast staff were also very helpful and friendly!! Definitely a place I will revisit and so glad I did decide to go to this unique tourist attraction, It was well worth it. Norfolk is lovely!!

We stayed in the Stone Room for 2 nights and will definitely be going back. The location is stunning and the Stone Room has access to the balcony and far reaching views to the sea. Going to sleep listening to the marsh grasses swaying in the breeze was perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were delicious. This was a lovely spot and perfect for walking and exploring the coastline.
