“Staying in a windmill on the North Norfolk coast? That's an experience I won't soon forget. The views across the reed beds and salt marshes are mesmerizing, especially from the Stone Room's balcony. Breakfast is a highlight, and the charm of the building, with its original features, makes it a truly special place to stay.”
