North Norfolk Holiday Cottage

Stay at Aylsham Windmill

A unique self-catering windmill in the beautiful market town of Aylsham, North Norfolk.

Welcome to Aylsham Windmill

Tim & Janet would love to welcome you to Aylsham Windmill holiday cottage in North Norfolk.

In 2000 our renovation project converted the Mill into unusual and just a little bit quirky self-catering holiday accommodation.

There are three bedrooms for up to six guests. Afraid we don’t accommodate pets.

The Mill was built in 1826 and was a working flour mill for almost 100 years. But was then derelict for more than 80 years.We are on the outskirts of the picturesque market town of Aylsham which is halfway between Norwich and the coast at Cromer.

Aylsham Windmill is the perfect location for a relaxing stay in North Norfolk. With easy access to Norwich, the North Norfolk coast, and the Norfolk Broads.

"Amazing rental property. We had the most amazing time in the windmill, we have never stayed anywhere that is so well equipped, there was everything needed and more. The windmill was comfortable, clean and in an amazing location. We would definitely recommend staying here and if we ever visit Norfolk again, we will be booking here."

My friends and I had a very enjoyable short stay at Aylsham Windmill recently. The owners, Tim and Janet, were very welcoming and helpful. The welcome pack they provided was above & beyond what was expected and was thoroughly enjoyed by us. The accommodation is comfortable and quite spacious, even with five of us staying. Everything is spotlessly clean and well maintained. We didn’t have time to visit much of the surrounding area, but would recommend Blinkling Hall which is a comfortable walk away. We also visited Cromer for a breath of sea air a browse round the many independent shops. Would definitely recommend this special location.
