The large circular ground floor of the Tower mill is a formal dining room seating up to 15 at a round table.

Further details for this holiday chateau / country house rental in Norfolk, United Kingdom

Pool Opening: The Outdoor Pool is normally available from April to October. We will be happy to heat the pool by arrangement but extra costs of £30.00 per day will be incurred, and the charges apply for the entirety of the rental period. The Pool is not fenced off and is unsupervised. As the pool area is very close to neighbouring gardens we ask that guests excersise consideration for our neighbours and not use offensive language, loud music or shouting in the pool area. This applies at all times but especially in the hours after 8pm when neighbouring children may be sleeping. Guests are asked not to use the pool after consuming alcohol.

The Old Mill. .Home Delivery Menu: For those that don't want the complications and hassle of daily cooking, or the chaos of booking and dealing with up to 15 people in a restaurant the Mill offers a home delivery menu with lots of favourite foods for young and old from home made cheese burgers to Shepherds' pie. Meals can be placed in the fridge or freezer before your arrival or delivered daily. Very popular and highly recommended. Please note that Home Delivery is NOT available during school holidays or from October 1-10th, 2009.

The Old Mill Private Dining : The Old Mill Private Menu is a per-arranged set formal menu, cooked and served in the ground floor of the Mill Tower on an evening of your choice during your stay.

Menu prices from £25.00 per person. Please note that Private Dining is NOT available over the following periods : July 17-Sep 6th, and December 21st, 2009- January 3rd, 2010.

Absolutely stunning!

Review Submitted: December 2, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
The mill surpassed everything we imagined - the photos really don't do it justice! 13 of us stayed there for the weekend and there wasn't one of us who could resist running around like a kid when we first got there to explore all the quirky features.

Roaring fires, squishy sofas, stunning interior, comfy beds..

Perfect for a weekend with (close) friends or family and would make a great retreat for a week with the pool and garden.

Without question the best S/C place we've ever stayed...can't recommend it highly enough.

Hen Weekending in Style

TiaB Brighton
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
13 girls looking for a stylish place to stay - we found it with The Old Mill! What a fab place to stay - beautifully converted with stylish interior design but at the same time a comfortable home from home. Us girls had a ball with the huge amount of space to hang out in, 'hen olympics' in the outdoor pool, cocktails in the lounge and all rounded off with a wonderful dinner cooked by Gary on the last night in the Mill. Sandra and Gary, the owners, couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating with planning the weekend and meeting our requirements. We will definitely be returning with partners and babies as The Old Mill tailors itself to a variety of gatherings be it family orientated or just a group of friends.

Stunning! Stunning! Stunning!

Review Submitted: April 30, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
18 girls descended on the Mill in mid April for a hen weekend and had an absolute blast! We had the perfect kitchen to gossip, cook and drink wine, the most gorgeous formal dining room, more sofas than we had time to sit on, stunning shower and bathrooms, a huge breakfast table to pour over the sunday papers, a gorgeous pool and a wicked trampoline.

Importantly over and above all the aesthetics is the ambience... it's truly like stepping into your own home as soon as you walk in the door. It's such a happy, chilled out property you feel like you are hundreds and hundreds of miles from hustle and bustle and stress.

It was perfect for a summer weekend with all the doors and windows open and use of the pool... but clearly would be as glorious in the depths of winter with the fires raging and a big stew in the oven.

It was great for a girls weekend away, definitely ideal for a family reunion for all ages, and yet cosy and intimate enough for a much smaller group. The 'shared' bedrooms in the tower didn't seem to bother any of the girls who stayed in them but we did make a mental note not to put our pregnant friend in room at the top of the tower (its a bit of a trek to the loo in the middle of the night!)

Amazing. Thank you so much Sandra and Gary you were lovely hosts and couldn't have been more accomodating.

(nb. I was almost tempted to not write a review. It really is the most stunning, welcoming and special property there is part of me that doesnt want anyone else to find out about it, so it's always available for me to use. (Shame on you the previous reviewers. This could have been our secret! x).

Stunning & fabulous

Review Submitted: March 2, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Found this property on a search engine and contacted the owners about availability. Sandra and Gary were so helpful and very friendly in attending to all of our requirements.

They have an absolutely stunning mill house with views to die for! Felt a bit of a kid when we first arrived for a long weekend - exploring all nooks and crannies until we discovered the fireplaces and once lit, kids off exploring, the adults settled down to a few drinks and nibbles and a brilliant chill out.

The village is really close, very friendly people and within touching distance of bigger towns such as Thetford, Swaffham and Kings Lynn. We ventured to the beach in glorious February sunshine and played football - this after a swim in the fab cold pool! Ate too much, drank too much but found this a great haven for relaxing, enjoying the surroundings and playing hide and seek.

If you do nothing else all year, get yourself to the Old Mill and unwind in a fab location. Twelve of us cannot be wrong!!

Enjoy.

Going the extra mile! Thank you

Review Submitted: January 28, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
The Old Mill is the most amazing place, refurbished, furnished and decorated to the highest standard! A truly wonderful place to stay! 12 of us stayed for a weekend in Jan 09, none of us could quite believe the standard of accomodation. The photos of this property really do not do it justice, with underfloor heating, wood burning fires and a master suite to die for! We enjoyed a very memorable Burn's Night Supper in the atmospheric dining room seating 12 easily. Gary and Sandra couldn't do enough to make our stay an absolute joy, my partner and I had resigned ourselves to sleeping on pullout bunk beds for the weekend but upon arrival found a double bed had been fitted to accomodate us. Even when I called to explain our lack of towels an emergency supply was rushed across.
Thank you both so much for an amazing stay in an amazing property.
