About The Olde Windmill Inn
Rooms at The Olde Windmill Inn come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, with room service available for guests who'd rather not stray far from bed. It's a straightforward, traditional set-up rather than a luxury one, but it covers the basics guests need after a day exploring Norfolk.
Downstairs there's a bar and a games room for evenings in, plus a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days. Breakfast is served on-site, and packed lunches and kids' meals can be arranged for those heading out for the day. Meeting rooms are available too, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car easy. Reception operates around the clock, and staff can help with luggage storage.
The inn sits in Great Cressingham, within reach of Thetford Forest and Castle Acre Priory, with walking routes, a golf course and pubs and restaurants nearby. Pets are welcome, making it a practical base for a countryside break in this part of Norfolk.
