Description from owner

Description

Enjoy a relaxing retreat at one of the UK’s most unique and luxurious self-catering holiday accommodations. Enjoy a sublime stay in the most scenic of settings in this astounding adults-only boutique bolthole.

Whether you are looking for a romantic hide away, or for fun filled time off with friends there really is no place like The Windmill Suffolk.

Located just 2 miles from Historic Lavenham, within easy reach of what Suffolk and the picturesque surrounding counties of Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire have to offer.

Originally built in 1891 the recently converted Windmill is the perfect contemporary country hideaway. With stunning panoramic views across the rolling Suffolk countryside, you can enjoy these from both the private balcony or the comfy warmth of the ‘POD’ top floor living space.

The Windmill Suffolk is an adults only holiday let and due to the layout with its sweeping staircase unfortunately The Windmill is not suitable for those with limited mobility. It is a non-smoking property throughout and not suitable for pets.

Getting around

The Windmill Suffolk is on a bus route but as we are in the countryside buses do not regularly especially in the evening, so it is beneficial to visit us by car. This also means you will find it far easier to visit all the wonderful surrounding towns and villages within easy distance of The Windmill.

Interaction with guest

The owners are generally always on site ( as our house is 2 minutes from The Windmill!) should you have any queries or want advice on local attractions or places to eat. We will always be here to check you in and out of The Windmill and are more than happy for you to call us if you need us for any reason.
