The Harnser (old norfolk for Heron) is a 17th century traditional flint building in the heart of Cley Next the Sea. It started life as a pub and was formerly the Kings Head of Cley until 1971, when the name was changed to The Harnser and was converted into tea rooms and bed and breakfast. In 2021 the refurbished Cafe /Bistro opened to the general public with 5 bedrooms, all with their own private facilities, together with car-parking for 6/8 vehicles- a rare in the village.

Beautiful views of the marshes and sea, with a back-drop of undulating countryside, Cley is within a mile of the beach. Within walking distance, the village has two pubs: the George and Dragon and Three Swallows as well as the Picnic Fayre deli, Cley Smokehouse, Made in Cley ( pottery ) and the Pinkfoot Gallery, Cley is perfectly placed to suit year round activities.
