A real gem of a place! 21 Aug 2019

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Windmill. We were given a warm welcome by Janet upon arrival and there was a lovely "welcome pack" of fresh milk, tea, coffee, cake, prosecco. The windmill was very well equipped, with dishwasher tablets, washing powder etc etc and even beach towels were provided. The accommodation was spotless and the interior has been refreshed regularly with paint. The location is great too. Beaches, Norwich and the Norfolk Broads are all under 30 minutes drive and right by the traffic free cycle path There is also room to store bikes. 5/5

A special place 26/Aug 2019

We stayed in the Windmill for four days with family who were visiting from Canada. We thought it would be something special to do and it truly was. Our hosts were charming and so welcoming and they had thought of absolutely everything to make our stay perfect. The welcoming ‘goodies’ were particularly appreciated after our journey. The decor and furnishings were in pristine condition and we had a really comfortable stay. We definitely hope to return in the future. 5/5

'A unique experience'

A fantastic place to stay with everything you could possibly need. Great location with some great pubs / restaurants only minutes away. Tim and Janet were very approachable and left us to it. Great value for money. Highly recommended. Aylsham Windmill is a credit to them. 5/5'

'Something different - a Windmill in Aylsham'

Such a unique beautifully restored property. Extremely well equipped and Ideally situated for a holiday/break in the Norfolk Broads. The hosts, Janet and Tim, made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble, they even left us treats to enjoy when we arrived. We had an amazing time and loved every minute or our stay in the Windmill. We will definitely be recommending it to all our friends and family and hopefully will be back again soon. 5/5

'Birthday celebration'

We recently stayed at the windmill with some friends to celebrate our respective husbands special birthdays and what a special place it was. Handy for walking into the town of Aylsham, lovely informative museum next to the church, great meal at the Black Boy pub. The windmill, itself was wonderful, lovingly and beautifully restored and had everything you would need provided. A really nice touch was the bottle of prosecco and chocolates left by the owners to help us celebrate the birthdays. I highly recommend a stay here, it is suitable for family and friends get togethers or just a quiet getaway for two near the Norfolk coast. Plenty of things to do in the area ie: National Trust properties, Bure Railway or go to the coast. We will definitely be going back . The experience should be on everybody's bucket list. 5/5
