Bircham Windmill Reviews

Pleasantly surprised

Good, quiet site with excellent café, friendly staff and clean facilities. It seemed families were in one area and couples in another, so the only noise we had at night were owls hooting and deer barking! Plus we got to see hares racing about in the adjoining field. Great location for exploring this part of Norfolk, and some great pubs are within a 15 minute drive.

Very good site

Very well maintained, plenty of room between pitches, lovely cafe on site and really enjoyed our visit.

Quiet spot with excellent onsite bakery

Lovely quiet campsite surrounded by fields. Saw muntjac, hares, pheasants and red kite. More suited to families with young children. Great bakery on site. Could do with more shower facilities.

Peaceful

Great place to stay for a night or two. Toilets were clean and the shop/bakery looked good. I think £32 + £8 a night for electric is a bit steep however. Very peaceful place - cool animals too!

Special

Little gem! Thoroughly enjoyable stay. Beautiful location, very tasty breakfast in the morning and a small friendly site. Will definitely be back.

Loved this site

This is a fabulous site. Peaceful. Well maintained. Interesting as there is a mill. Child friendly. Quiet site. There is a fab cafe for breakfasts, lunches and teas. Nice touches like bath mats, tea towels etc.

Quiet getaway weekend

Beautiful location with the windmill, animal paddocks and tearooms right next to the pitches. Really good, clean facilities with use of showers, toilets, kitchen (with fridge and washing machine), games room and play areas for the kids. It is a small site, which suited us perfectly. The evenings were spent star gazing as it benefits from dark skies all around. Really close to the local beaches too.

Bank Holiday camping

Small campsite in a peaceful country location with a working windmill. Horse, donkey, sheep and chickens in the field next to the site. Easy drive to North Norfolk beaches. Ample country pubs with great quality food. (Book well in advance to secure a booking for evening meals if going out). Clean washing facilities and washing up facilities. Good entertainment room for kids. We go every year. One of our preferred sites.

Lovely location set in beautiful surroundings

What a lovely place to stay. I loved the activities within the windmill and the gorgeous homemade produce. Fresh produce on sale including locally made flour and eggs laid by the chickens. Breakfasts are lovely and the freshly baked cakes are absolutely gorgeous. Good sized pitches with hook ups. Facilities are very good including shower mats and tea towels for use with the availability of a washing machine. The staff are all lovely and very polite, genuinely had a lovely feel. The tea room gardens are lovely with lots to do and there are some sheep, a horse and a donkey which had my granddaughter fascinated. Would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful site, we will be returning for longer next year!

We had a lovely stay 🥰

Highly recommend

Great place, we loved every minute. Good amenities, very well kept and maintained, shower mats, tea towels, and washing up liquid all provided. My boys (aged 5&9) loved the morning we spent doing a tour of the mill, grounds, learning to bake bread and feeding the animals. Great location too, with 3 or 4 beautiful beaches all within a 20 minute drive.

Camping at Bircham Windmill

Fantastic campsite, helpful staff, great facilities. We're definitely coming back.

Can’t wait to come again!

Family of four (children 9 &11) excellent site, quiet, clean and friendly. Lots to explore on site. Lovely coffee shop, and obviously the mill itself is just wonderful. A real treasure! Loved having clean bath mats and tea towels at hand! So helpful! Not not mention access to shared fridges and freezer! A peaceful pretty spot to relax.

Peaceful and really pretty

Easy to find and was given clear directions to my pitch. Lovely clean site, proper showers with clean shower mats for each person to use and very peaceful overall. Made use of the on site games room and the tea rooms in the morning. As a solo visitor, I felt really safe.

Best campsite

The windmill is beautiful. Facilities and location are great. Excellent homemade food in the cafe. All the young staff on site are professional and friendly. Impressive little attraction with good operation! Definitely will be back again. Thank you.

Great campsite

Fantastic few days on the Norfolk coast based at this campsite. Staff and other campers were super-friendly and the facilities were all good. Highly recommend!

Loved it!

We absolutely loved our stay at Bircham Windmill. The kids loved making bread, climbing the windmill and enjoying the bakery goods! The horse was an absolute favourite with the children. Such a beautiful location and a nice quiet site. Lots to do locally as well, exploring the beautiful coastline, deer safari and Sandringham.

Wonderful

Brilliant location, excellent site, great bakery.

Amazing little place for the family

We absolutely loved our stay at Bircham Windmill. We have a very active toddler who loves animals and cakes, the smile on his face throughout our long weekend tells you everything you need to know. Perfectly placed to visit the north Norfolk coastline and surrounding quaint villages, a fairly priced campsite fee and we never had to queue to use a toilet or shower because of the low number of pitches (15). The setup was just brilliant, we enjoyed it so much that we have just booked it up again for another long weekend in 2 weeks. Thank you for making our family feel right at home and for the amazing memories.

Windy weekend

Second time we have stayed. Lovely clean site, great cafe and good facilities. The owners have thought of everything in providing small extras that you may have forgotten. Also a nice touch that there is use of a fridge and freezer. Ideally close to the coast.

Lovely, quaint camping

Really lovely camping at family-focused site with lots to do, especially with children. The windmill and baking own bread is a real bonus and the cafe has delicious food and there's a games room. The owners are friendly and obviously care that you have a good time, it's clean and well cared for, and a feel-good experience.

Lovely site

Lovely site, thought about all the small things campers need, like tea towels and bath mats.

Superb campsite

One of the best campsites I have stayed at. Interesting windmill to climb, fantastic bakery, lovely food in the cafe offering a great breakfast choice. Quirky, not too busy and very friendly.

Great campsite

Great place to stay, breakfast at the tea rooms was gorgeous. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway

Beautiful location, peaceful with gorgeous views. Facilities were good. Café and bakery looked great, but we didn't really partake (vegan). Lovely walks nearby. Great for those with small children as there are animals and a little play area. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will return, I'm sure.

Site's response

Many thanks for your lovely review. I'm sorry we don't cater for vegans through our own bakery, but in the tearooms, there are baskets along the front with a lovely range of bought in vegan cakes, flapjacks, olives and nuts. We also ensure that our soup is always vegan friendly too. We do hope to see you again soon.
