A centuries-old windmill rising from open Norfolk countryside sets this cottage apart before you've even stepped inside. The four-storey tower – with bedrooms climbing its curved staircase – makes for a stay that's hard to replicate anywhere else. Two lounges open onto a large garden, where a barbecue terrace invites long alfresco evenings in the shadow of those historic sails. The village setting is peaceful but well placed, with the market town of Holt just 7.5 miles away and the North Norfolk coast at Salthouse within 11.5 miles.

About Norfolk
With a coastline defined as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Norfolk Broads boasting National Park status, there’s plenty to keep nature lovers occupied in Norfolk. Great Yarmouth enjoys the best of both worlds where a long beach provides days of paddling in the shallows and wandering the promenade, ice-cream in hand.
