Just returned from a fabulous short break in this amazing building. Not only have the owners given the mill a new lease of life they have done it with style. The interior is decorated and furnished with quality and elegance. Your every need has been catered for, along with personal touches like a welcome box of goodies and useful information on local amenities and attractions. If you stay at one windmill in your life make sure it's Stow Mill.

Im absolutely gutted that this lovely windmill has been converted into a holiday home used to visit and climb the mill nearly every time i visited Norfolk and i know hundreds of people loved there visit to the windmill aswell. I bet the SPAB (Society Protection Of Ancient Buildings) would be devastated if they knew about this.

We have just returned from the most amazing weekend spent in the beautiful "Stow Mill", which is now a holiday let for 2 people. We would both very highly recommend a stay at the Mill. Everything you could want from a self catering break with that little bit extra in quality and provisions. A fabulous welcome pack and greeting from the lovely owners and an extremely well stocked quirky place to stay with that extra edge of finesse. We will definitely be going back. :-)
