A gem of a find on the internet..... fantastic value, good food, great staff and dog friendly. The pub is like a maze... rooms off rooms... snugs..... and a bar area I could only describe as a riot of glass, bottles and wood. Well recommended.
At the time of doing this review we are still on our first full day. But, having said that we can't vault the place. Rooms are clean and well presented with nice furnishings. Large double bed which is well comfy. The bar is well stocked with several real ale's, various lagers and ciders. They're is a great selection of food on the menu, way to much to list and the portions are ample. We both had the Farmhouse breakfast this morning which consisted of, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, 2 hash browns, baked beans, tomato and mushrooms and toast. Well worth the money. And we would definitely stay here again.
We have visited The Olde Windmill Inn several times having stayed on their caravan site, however this weekend was the first time we stayed in one of their rooms. We were very impressed, the room was well presented although quite compact, perfect for a short stop over. All the staff we met were extremely welcoming and jolly and our dog was welcomed in the bar. We had an enjoyable evening meal and a superb breakfast this morning. I would certainly recommend this lovely traditional pub restaurant, we will definitely return. Thank you for making us so welcome.
Found this lovely place by chance, warm welcome by friendly staff, tasty food, comfortable room, totally recommend for a quiet night away, and a good price for accommodation.
We haven't stayed as yet only eaten as we are caravanners and been going there ten years or more to eat, and the food is first class, but only had two course as no room for three lol, but this last visit I noticed my knicker bocker glory that I had for a sweet, about two inches in the glass, half way down was empty, I guess it's the way they fill them to look large ones, the staff were helpful and friendly, will defo keep going,
Service top class and friendly food was superb! Ale even better! My first time in there but will definitely go back! Thank you to all the staff and locals
I had the Big W 8oz Cajun burger and my fiancée had cod and chips, with duck spring rolls and deep fried mushrooms for starts, was delicious and staff were very friendly and wonderful setting, second time I've eaten there and certainly wont be the last!
We went to the windmill bank holiday Monday for a family meal.
We arrived and were straightaway sorted with drinks and shown to our table.
Great variety of food choice, also good for vegetarians as one of the party is veggie.
Food was quick in coming out and was cooked lovely.
Would highly recommend xx
Fabulous old country pub. Great atmosphere, brilliant log fire, superb food and friendly attentive staff. Fully recommend.
Stayed here for the second time on the campsite behind the pub! Facilities are all good with everything you need! The food
In the pub is excellent, we had a meal Friday evening and Sunday lunch and cannot complain about any of it! Will definitely come again
This was our second meal at the Olde Windmill. We had lovely meals on Sunday evening. Would definitely go again. The food and drink service was great.
The sun was shining so we went for lunch in there garden. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Very friendly couldn’t do enough for us. Definitely will be going back.
Just had lunch with family on table 38 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Friendly staff and excellent food. Looking forward to an early return.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this place to stay if you are in the area.
A Perfect Stay at The Olde Windmill Inn in Great Cressingham, Norfolk
We enjoyed staying at The Olde Windmill Inn during a two-day trip to Norfolk for a local event. This charming historic Inn exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
Firstly, the Inn's ambiance is nothing short of enchanting. The place's historic character adds a unique and cosy feel you can't find in modern hotels. Every nook and corner tells a story, making our stay exciting and comfortable.
The staff at The Olde Windmill Inn were superb. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive service throughout our stay, they ensured we had everything we needed and more.
We were also deeply impressed by the local community. The people in Norfolk were incredibly welcoming, making us feel like part of the village rather than just visitors. This connection added a lovely personal touch to our trip.
Given the delightful experience, if we find ourselves in Norfolk again, there is no question about where we will stay. The Olde Windmill Inn would undoubtedly be our first choice once more.
I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area who wants to enjoy a blend of historic charm and excellent service.
Stayed here over Easter weekend when visiting daughter and family. Great hotel with beautiful restaurant & food . Pretty saroundings. Highly recommended

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere.The food was nice and my room (1) was large with a super king-size bed,sofa and large TV. Great staff and plenty of parking.
Music nights are held there every Tuesday. I play at the Karaoke/Live music event every fortnight. Good atmosphere, cosy room and good attendance. Opportunity to join in if you want to.
Lovely olde world pub with small cosy bar area, which then leads to a spacious restaurant within many separate rooms.
Beautiful meal,well priced, lovely staff
Great place, very attentive staff and pet friendly. Will definitely be back at some point. Thank you all
Had lovely 2 days stay for my birthday.
Food great, room was lovely & staff gave great service.
A beautiful inn in a quiet location, rooms are very comfortable with ensuites. Clean and well serviced. Staff are exceedingly helpful and friendly. Can't praise this inn enough. Meals are delicious and servings are plentiful. 5 stars all round
The best. I won't to go again. Only had one night. Won't long weekend next time. Excellent
We recently spent 2 nights here a gem of a find, had a room in the Annexe so quiet comfortable. Nice to find a teapot on the tray in our room. Plenty of parking. Sunday lunch with family busy place. The staff were lovely friendly. We will stay again. Highly recommend. Nice children's play area. Thank you.
Always a great meal and service. Love our time there.
Lovely friendly staff and delicious food. Very clean comfortable rooms.
Stayed here for a number of nights.
The rooms were great, food was delicious and the staff were fantastic.
The only reason for knocking off a star (would have preferred to make it half a star as it wasn't a deal breaker in the grand scheme of things really) is that the complimentary wifi barely reaches the room (room 3) and phone signal from network provider (O2) struggled to get into the room too.
Bearing in mind that I was here for work.
If I was just here on a casual trip then this wouldn't really been important as I wouldn't have had to consider laptop connectivity.
Great pub and range of all drinks. The atmosphere is fantastic. Rooms are spotless and homely. Really nice good value pub food. Would stay again
