A much-loved destination on the North Norfolk coast, Wiveton Hall is a beautiful Jacobean manor house dating from 1652.

Surrounded by woods, flint walls and gardens, it has historic charm and lovely views across the marsh to Cley Windmill.

“Amazing, unexpected and unforgettable.”

At the heart of Wiveton Hall is Desmond MacCarthy – owner, storyteller, and the reason this place feels unlike anywhere else on the Norfolk coast. He has spent years restoring and nurturing Wiveton Hall, not to make it perfect, but to keep it real. What you find here is the result of that: somewhere genuinely special, quietly beautiful, and entirely itself.

Stay with us

Choose between three colourful farm cottages overlooking Cley Windmill and the marshes.

Or Chloe’s Cottage at the heart of the farm. Memorable family stays in the charming West Wing or glamping with Amber Bell Tents

Our third stay at Lubbock’s Cottage, each one just as good as the last.

Lubbock’s benefits from beautiful views to watch the wildlife (deer and barn owls were regular visitors) and great walks from the door.
