Appleton Water Tower is self-catering accommodation which sleeps up to 4 people in 2 double rooms. There is a steep staircase so it is unsuitable for disabled guests or unsteady toddlers without close supervision.

The terrace on top of the tank is protected by an ornate cast-iron railing, and as from the room below, there is a view on all sides over miles of wide, open landscape. Here, on this exposed hilltop, you can even see a distant gleam of the Wash.

Facilities include:
Bath
Shower
Open fire or stove
Open grounds, garden or terrace
Dogs allowed
Parking
Cot provided
Awkward stairs
Isolated location

All Landmark Trust properties have bedding, linen and towels provided and the kitchens are fully equipped to cater for the number of people the building sleeps plus two visitors. As a matter of philosophy, they do not provide televisions or telephones.

Apart from marveling at a view normally seen by birds, balloonists and pilots, the estate is an area of great wildlife diversity. The North Norfolk broads are within reach, as are shingle and sandy beaches.

In winter, it can appear bleak – however a crackling fire and a good pub are a time honoured and satisfactory local remedy.
