The property offers lovely walks, a beautiful garden, and is well-situated for exploring the Norfolk area. While some minor improvements are suggested, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, beautiful gardens, and proximity to local attractions, including the coast, broads, and a charming village. It's also noted for easy access to Norwich and the presence of seals at Hornsey Gap.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with well-designed bedrooms and a welcome pack. However, one guest suggested the sofa could be comfier, indicating room for improvement in this area.
The facilities are appreciated, such as the fully equipped kitchen and dishwasher. However, suggestions for modernisation, including a better shower and USB sockets, indicate that while good, there is potential for enhancement.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly with the welcome pack, which was very much appreciated. It should be noted that such gestures, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Looking for something unique, this striking black tower was built in 1825 and is a Grade II listed building. Originally a working grain mill, it has now been fully renovated to provide a wonderful holiday home. Immerse yourselves in the beauty of the Norfolk Broads, offering a peaceful location to escape the hustle and bustles of daily life, yet only a 6-minute drive from the village with a pub which serves good food, shop, butcher and more. The accommodation is spread over three floors with amazing views of the surrounding countryside. A staircase leads to the entrance and it boasts circular rooms with open plan living areas. Spiral stairs lead to a double bedroom and a separate bathroom. Further spiral stairs lead to the second bedroom with a single bed and pull-out trundle bed (if you don’t mind a squeeze!). Adjacent to The Mill is your private, lawned garden with garden furniture, a perfect spot to simply soak up the sun and enjoy the tranquillity of this peaceful retreat. The owner’s home is located within the grounds, neighbouring to but separated from The Mill. The beautiful grounds are a natural haven for wildlife with mature trees and a grassed meadow boasting wild flowers (in season), perfect for a stroll in the evening.
Enjoy a 5-minute walk along the path leading to the River Ant. Located opposite is the How Hill Trust; the reserve is of national and international importance for nature conservation, birds, insects, plants and wildlife. Take a river trip, have a picnic or explore the wildlife trail mapped for your enjoyment. The riverside village of Ludham is a 6-minute drive with pub, tea rooms, village Post Office/stores and butcher. Neighbouring Womack Water with grassed riverside seating areas is a great place to sit and watch the riverside activities or why not hire a boat yourself? Many footpaths, trails and a quiet network of lanes offer excellent cycling and walking directly from the doorstep. This Grade II listed building has many rustic and quirky features that make it a great place to stay, they do also mean that it is unsuitable for young children.
Wroxham, known as the capital of the Norfolk Broads is just 20-minutes drive, for more boating activity, daily boat hire, river trips, supermarket, shops, cafés, riverside restaurant and miniature model village. There is a train station with connections to Norwich City, the traditional seaside town of Sheringham, and home to the Bure Valley Railway, longest narrow gauge railway visiting the pretty Market town of Aylsham. For the kids amongst us, Bewilderwood at Horning and the Dinosaur Adventure Park at Lenwade are a great day out. The city of Norwich is 15 miles away for excellent shopping, two indoor malls, market square, cathedral, theatre, castle museum, cafés, restaurants, bowling alleys, cinema complexes and much more. Sea Palling, 9 mile away, has a wide sandy beach backed by dunes, café, fish and chips and amusements. There are plenty of historic sites, National Trust homes and parks, many more amazing sandy beaches, traditional coastal villages and towns all within easy driving distance. Beach 9 miles.

This is a unique place to stay and the feeling of living for a week in such a special location was marvellous. We were four adults plus one medium sized dog and it felt very special coming home each day to such an amazing place. The local area is wonderful and there were lovely walks from our door. The garden area too was perfect for sitting out, either in the sun or shade with some beautiful trees giving the paler family members some respite. Across the road is How hill field studies centre which also contains a superb secret garden which we all loved.We had some days at the coast, a couple of days on the broads and a day just exploring the locality. Our hosts were very welcoming and even their dog made ours feel very much at home. We had a great week and would definitely return.

A fantastic stay at this beautifully converted mill in How Hill, Norfolk. The conversion was excellent, maintaining the historic charm while providing all the modern comforts.The two bedrooms, while compact, were cleverly designed to maximize space and were very comfortable. The bathroom was well-maintained, and the fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed, including plenty of plates and cooking equipment etc. the dishwasher was an extra convenience.Parking was easy, the location was peaceful, and the views were absolutely lovely. The hosts were wonderful and made us feel incredibly welcome. Indeed the welcome pack was very much appreciated. The location is a major highlight. Just across the road, we found beautiful gardens, woodland walks, and a small museum, all leading down to a river bank dotted with sailing boats. There are also plenty of other local walks to explore and a charming small village nearby.For those looking to venture further, travel to the city of Norwich was easy, and we were spoilt for choice with the numerous beaches nearby. I would wholly recommend a stay here and can't wait to return.
