Staff are great and very hospitable. Suite style rooms are large but ours needed a deep clean in the bathroom and around the dusty furniture. The TV reception was a bit hit or miss if you walked nearby it. A mix of old and new furniture, the bed was super comfy

The property was in a lovely little town with its own private parking. Very clean room and friendly staff. The only downside was the room was absolutely red hot with double windows (old sash windows with double glazing over the top) no ventilation or airflow in the room.

The 3 staff we liaised with, the receptionist, server and the chef were all delightful, very welcoming and friendly. A great stay in a lovely spacious family room for us and the two children

Lovely hotel. Warm and friendly welcome. The room was modern and very clean with everything we needed. Lovely view over the market square. Surprisingly quiet too.. we left our window open overnight and wasn’t disturbed once. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

The central location makes it ideal to find anything needed and parking very easy/convenient. Even calling the contact number early morning was met with a sleepy but cordial response. Also nice to hear about the “receptionist”, barman and information supplier’s enthusiastic interests and hobbies. Thank you young sir. Strve

We stayed in the Windmill’s 2 bedroomed apartment. It was huge, extremely well equipped and with a fabulous view onto the market place. We really enjoyed our stay, especially being able to have our dog with us. Thank you, we will be back!
