The Windmill Blackthorn Hill - a windmill that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Your journey begins here:
You will enter your own Windmill Tower through the roof garden and be welcomed by a solid oak door. Upon entering, you will step back in time, surrounded by history and charm.
Accommodation:
Two delightful bedrooms await, each featuring comfortable double beds and luxurious en-suite bathrooms. Ambient lighting sets the mood, showcasing all their features. The bedrooms are kept cosy and warm, allowing you to snuggle up and enjoy your favourite programs on a large HD Smart TV with Amazon Prime video and Amazon Music Unlimited. Each room includes hanging space, a hairdryer, and a full-length mirror. Complimentary Duck Island Spa toiletries are provided in each bathroom.
Lovely Kitchen:
A beautiful kitchen is located on the 3rd floor, just below the Sky lounge. Don't forget to pause and admire the views through the stairs window, which overlooks open fields. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, including a dishwasher, fridge/ice box, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. Complimentary coffee pods are available, along with milk in the fridge and condiments in the cupboard. It's a wonderful space to dine before heading to the Sky lounge to unwind with a bottle and watch the sunset.
Sky Lounge:
The real highlight of The Windmill is the breathtaking sky lounge. It features comfortable sofas positioned in front of a large TV and offers magnificent 360-degree views of the rural countryside. We recommend waking up early, brewing a fresh cup of coffee, and trying to spot grazing deer. You might even catch a glimpse of red kites soaring over the landscape, not to mention the awe-inspiring sunsets and sunrises. Don't forget your camera!
Chill Out Area:
A private lawn area on the roof terrace is perfect for enjoying summer days, complete with a table, cushioned seats, and a parasol umbrella to provide shade. Relax and enjoy a couple of glasses of wine while watching the amazing sunsets.
Secure gated parking is available for two cars, one with an EV charger.
Please note there will be any extra charge if 1-2 guests require the use of the 2nd bedroom (Flour room).
All the best
