Pub with character

Stopped overnight enroute to LeShuttle, very convenient just off the M20, in a village. Room spacious and comfy, with good quality tea/coffee. Enjoyed a tasty meal downstairs in the restaurant. In the room you could hear the people in the restaurant talking, but it was silent after 10pm (and they do provide earplugs if needed). Having originally booked room only, we decided that we would have breakfast as the dinner had been good. However when we went down the external stairs from the accommodation, the pub was all locked up and the agency chef was standing outside not able to get in. We waited until 8:05, but decided to head off as we needed to catch our train. It was a shame as breakfast was advertised in the car park as being available every day feom 8am.

Lacklustre. Underwhelmed

Beautiful village and the pub Front of house staff haven't attended Charm School SHOWER not a great temperature and didn't drain from shower tray as it should Charged an additional £6 - no idea what for!? On morning of departure there was nobody in the Bar so I could return the room key and mention the Shower Fail Underwhelmed Lacklustre Disappointed when I was so looking forward to a stay in a cosy welcoming pub in a picturesque part of the Kent countryside...

Perfect little stay.

Very pleasantly surprised by our stay here, the pictures do not do it justice. Very comfy bed, fancy facilities like large very fluffy towels, very nice bathroom products, great selections of hot drinks. Only thing I would say is that if you are very tall, be careful of the low ceilings!

Very friendly pub. The room is well presented with modern comforts. It has retained its natural beauty with exposed wooden beams, a large fireplace in the pub and locally produced food and beverage. Would recommend.

Well worth a stay

We had a fabulous stay there, the rooms were well equipped and furnished, very warm & homely, felt newly decorated yet reflected the heritage of the very old building that The Windmill is. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and was delicious and well presented.

Excited to return!

We loved our one night stay at the Windmill! The staff are friendly and helpful and both the pub and rooms are just gorgeous. The place manages to be both light, airy and clean as well as rustic, homely and super cosy. We also had a delicious breakfast in the pub. We'll be back!

Ok but not 10 out of 10

Staff were excellent, they managed the minor issues with the room professionally. The meal offer is limited if you are not keen on fish or sharing platters. That said we ate twice in the restaurant, the meal was fine, not sure it was great value for the money but I'm sure the price is similar to other establishments in the area. Breakfast is very good, great selection and options. Overall we had a great time and will return

Nice old hotel

Nice room in a very old pub. Excellent evening meal. However, the less said about the bacon in the breakfast the better. I was thinking of calling for a priest.
