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 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

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.

Basic but safe
The reception and staircase smell musty and unpleasant but the room was ok. Comfy bed and ok shower. Quiet and close to takeaways. No food but a cafe next door recommended by staff who were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic apartment
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!
