Devon and Cornwall are our bread and butter – where we spend most of our time, the places we know inside and out.  We love the Westcountry, you know we do but when we get the chance to wander a little further afield and discover somewhere brand new, we get a bit excitable. This year we got to virtually wander to Norfolk: home of the famous Broads, some fascinating historical landmarks and a coastline that almost rivals our beloved South West Coast Path.

And we know exactly where we want to stay when we finally make it to East Anglia…in a converted windmill of course! The stunning 7 storey Old Mill at Big Stay Norfolk is the perfect place to take the whole family.  The quirky circular bedrooms in the mill tower are beautifully cosy but the 105 square foot living space is just breathtaking.  It opens out onto an epic garden with sweeping views across the Norfolk countryside. Big Stay Norfolk also boasts the historic Hall Farmhouse.  In a quintessential village located in the heart of Norfolk, the farmhouse is another substantial family escape with a 120sqm kitchen opening out onto an acre of garden. 

Better yet, both are pooch friendly so you can explore this lovely corner of the country, with the family hound too.
