The Control Tower - Bed & Breakfast in Norfolk
Bunkers Hill, Egmere, Walsingham, NR22 6AZ, Norfolk
England,
Reino Unido
A unique slice of history. This iconic landmark on the former RAF North Creake airfield was built in the 1940s to command 199 and 171 Squadrons. The restoration has been a labour of love and Nigel and Claire's attention to detail is remarkable: modernism and Art Deco design in full flow. Be greeted with English-grown tea or freshly brewed coffee in the art-filled sitting room; sink into goose down in bright bedrooms; enjoy shiny bathrooms with period fittings and local soaps.
Breakfasts are lovely - porridge, homemade drop scones, sweet or savoury French toast and a veggie version of the Full Monty. If you're staying in the Stirling Suite annexe then you get it delivered, and all can be adapted for vegans too with a bit of notice. History tours include the open roof deck; Wells-next-the-Sea and Blakeney Point Seal Trips are close.
The house is available for groups in the four double bedrooms and extra beds can be rustled up.

Local points of interest from Claire Nugent & Nigel Morter:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Claire Nugent & Nigel Morter:
- Taking a stroll out on Stiffkey Marshes. It is so much fun to dodge the creaks and puddles on the way out. Your efforts are always rewarded with a wide open sandy beach usually deserted the perfect place to take in the amazing enormous Norfolk sky.
- Browsing antique and vintage shops in Holt. It is easy to spend hours rummaging in the fabulous shops in Holt from the large antique centres to the tiny independent vintage shops like Past Caring and Barron Art.
- No seaside holiday should be complete without fish and chips. Wells-next-the-Sea has the award winning French’s. They are best enjoyed sitting on the quay wall watching the sea birds over the salt marshes.
- Cycling the lanes in North Norfolk. We have such gorgeous lanes around here one of the best ways to explore is by bike. Contrary to popular belief Norfolk is not as flat as you might think but is beautiful taken in slowly.
- Our local villages have so many quiet hidden treasures. The Walsingham Abbey grounds - especially for the snowdrop walk in February; the iron age fort in Warham and Binham Priory to name but a few delights.
- Whether you like bird watching, walking, cycling or browsing the delightful independent shops there are so many places to stop for lunch... we are spoilt in North Norfolk! Lots of recommendations by us - just ask
