We loved our stay at The Old Mill with our springer spaniel, the outside space was ideal for him. The owner was flexible when we arrived an hour early and we found the property to be warm and welcoming. The property is very quaint and is well equipped and the location is perfect for a short walk to the local pub.

The Old Mill was lovely to stay in. The extra things like towels, bedding, washing up liquid and hand soap made a big impact on us. The cottage was well equipped. The only downside was there is no shower. The setting was lovely and quiet, surrounded by paddocks. It was a great place for us with our dog.

Information booklet needs to be in place. Property would be better off with a shower cubicle rather than a bath or a fixed shower head over the bath. Property was quiet and in a nice location. Garden centre down the road was useful for day to day supplies and snacks when open.

What a find! Really cosy little gem! A real home from home feel. Everything is catered for. The bed was amazing! Sooo comfortable! Love where the Mill is situated, private yet not too isolated. Very peaceful. Lovely every morning to open the front door and to be greeted by the two horses in the field opposite.

The Old Mill is a lovingly restored property. Great location for visits to the coast & the Broads. It was a cool property which was great as it was warm while we were there. It desperately needs a shower & a freezer so you can store food or make ice cubes. It is not as private as it appears within 40 steps there are 2 properties 1 of which outside Read morespace overlooks The Mill, we parked our car to block the view. The outside space needs more comfy furniture . Also there is no Welcome Pack. Hide
