Okay stay

Not the most amazing stay. Pebbles in the car park make it very difficult to carry luggage into properly. It was raining and getting from my car into the property dragging luggage was through the pebbles ground wasn’t pleasant. They did wait up for me til about 10:45pm to check me and were quite friendly on arrival. The host was helpful in taking my case up to my room on my arrival but not very helpful at all when I was leaving the next morning and didn’t bat an eyelid when I was struggling with my case to leave. Incredible incredibly narrow stairs up to very odd located room. Very dangerous low sloped ceilings. Cosy breakfast area. But basic continental breakfast including packaged croissants & muffins, breakfast bars & cereals. Reasonably clean room.

Had a wonderful overnight stay on route to Brighton. The evening meal choices were excellent and the food 1st class. Wide selection of self service choice at breakfast with an excellent coffee machine. Would definitely recommend and would stay again when in the area.

Lovely, enjoyable stay

Lovely cozy country pub serving fabulous food. Overnight accommodation very comfortable. Continental self serve breakfast on weekdays but cooked breakfast at weekends however it would be nice for a cooked breakfast on a bank holiday. Contact directly with the hotel with questions was tricky with no replies to messages or emails but I’d definitely visit again.

Relaxing (even with young children)

Easy parking, straight forward check in, the room was perfect for my wife & I, with 2 kids under 5. Dinner was well priced & delicious, both kids enjoyed their child portions. Bar was busy but service was great, back to our room for kids bedtime at 7 & a low murmur of noise from our room meant we all slept really well. Opted not to have cooked breakfast but option was offered the night before, continental breakfast was more than adequate for us all. Played outside in the sunshine until time meant we had to head off, staying away with kids after 2 years of Covid could have been a hassle but not here - looking for an excuse to return!

Blown away by the Windmill

A lovely clean, welcoming and comfortable place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights and found out they also put on small event, so we are seriously considering booking out the Windmill for our small wedding reception. Oh and the food was amazing, just a shame they were not doing cook breakfasts at the time of our stay.
