We would totally recommend the Old Mill for a perfect stay, to relax and unwind. The owners were very accommodating. The local fish and chips shop was very good. And for a lovely meal out, we would recommend The Lodge at North Tuddenham. All in all the perfect holiday.

We absolutely loved staying at The Old Mill in Mattishall, Norfolk. It is such a relaxing area to stay!. We saw some very different birds as they have a very large bird feeder on the back fence so you can stand at the kitchen window watching them feed, also squirrels too!. Also a group of fawns in the field!. and horses in another field. My husbandRead more likes to have a break from driving so we were able to take the bus to visit other places in Norfolk. (Bus stops 10mins walk away!) I loved our stay. Hide
