About Millstream

Millstream is part of an old watermill conversion, with original exposed beams and an open-plan layout. This ground-floor apartment overlooks the mill pool and is close to Norfolk’s AONB coastline, making it ideal for a peaceful stay on the fringes of the East of England.

The north Norfolk coast can be reached within a 20-minute walk from the apartment. Head to the tiny harbour town of Burnham Overy Staithe for its golden sands lined with fishing boats. From here you could walk to Holkham National Nature Reserve for some birdwatching and exploring the woodland, salt marshes and white sand dunes.

For the nearest shops and restaurants head to the trendy village of Burnham Market, just a 20-minute walk from here. The larger seaport town of Kings Lynn, with its mix of high street stores, museums and theatres, is a 45-minute drive to the south west.

Please note: Millstream is part of an architecturally designed watermill conversion consisting of 7 apartments and as such may be occupied by other parties at the same time. Although the property is sound proofed. Millstream is not a stand alone single holiday cottage.

This cottage sits beside the narrow road bridge along the scenic coast road, which can be busy at certain times of the day and in the peak season. The road and mill pool are very close to the cottage, so young children will need to be supervised when crossing to use the shared river bank area opposite the cottage.
