You can now book stays in an old windmill with a private pool and games room

A Grade II listed windmill isn't your average holiday home, but one beautiful mill in Norfolk has been transformed into a staycation dream - complete with a private swimming pool and games room.

The windmill in Norfolk has been converted into a modern home with everything you need for a comfortable stay, although it still retains plenty of its original features including wooden beams, oak floors and open fires.

One bedroom even features some of the former workings of the mill, while the living room uses the original mill stone as its main feature.

The property sleeps up to 15 people across seven bedrooms, four of which sit in the main house and three of which are in the mill's tower itself. (It's also worth making the climb to the seventh floor of the tower for the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside).

But it's not just the quirky setting that makes this a tempting getaway.

The property comes with a private swimming pool (which can be heated), a large patio and BBQ area, and a games room boasting a ping-pong table, snooker table and table football.

Groups can also opt for a luxurious private dining menu too, for those celebrating a special event or just wanting an excuse to dress up and take a break from cooking.

Of course currently in England there are lockdown restrictions which mean a group holiday isn't on the cards just yet.

However, it's hoped that under the lockdown roadmap, restrictions on social contact could be lifted from June 21 - and the good news is that when we took a look, there was availability for that week. (July/August were full, but there was also space for September and October, when the pool is still open for guests).

The windmill is a Grade II listed property (VRBO)

Prices started from £2,305.20 for three nights in June - if you fill the property, that's £153pp each. (If there are still restrictions in place and you're having to stick to the Rule of Six, that's £384pp).

You can find out more and book on vrbo.com.
