  “Properly lovely place. I called in while cycling the Peddars Way in need of somewhere to stay and they let me camp in their paddock opposite for free. Didn't even seem like there was an expectation of me coming in for a pint which was really nice, genuinely just helping people out. That being said I did of course come in for a pint. Friendly people, lovely atmosphere, music going on in one of the rooms and a nice garden. Had a couple nice lagers and a massive plate of oven chips which I couldn't finish. Definitely stop by”

Accommodation: Comfortable, clean en-suite rooms that offer a peaceful night's sleep in a scenic village location.

  “My husband and I were taken to the Windmill as a treat on our holiday as they had heard that it was a good place to go. Much to their horror and us it was anything but..... First impressions were good but it went downhill fast. We arrived early, got our drinks and went and sat at our table,taking our order was quick - the food arriving was a different matter. After over an hour and a half I had to go and ask where our food was!! ( I had NO idea 3 burgers and what was essentially a Steak baguette took so long to cook?)Bizarrely I had barely sat down when our food arrived! Immediately it was quite obvious that our meals had probably been left on the side and were tepid at their best and cold at their worst. When the Waiter was informed of this, unfortunately he compounded matters by stating he could take them back to the Kitchen to be reheated ( all dishes contained Cheese!!) The Manager was duly called ( he had already had to deal with another table who weren't happy as they had had to wait and their Food was either cold or over cooked) The Managers Customer Service was absolutely non existent.He felt an offer of redoing meals was sufficient - we'd already waited nearly 2 hours by this time and were not confident our original meals wouldn't be reheated. There was no offer of a goodwill drink or such like. His whole attitude was that nothing like this normally happens- he'd had 8 people send their meals back in less than 10 minutes!!!. I have to say that this is the first time I have ever walked out of a Restaurant because the Food and Service was so atrocious. Personally I would give a 0/10 if I was able to..”

  “For first impressions we won’t be back. After initially taking our food order we then had no service we had to go to the bar to order more drinks while waitresses stood around doing nothing. We then had to go back to bar to chase our order as we had been waiting for 1 hour & a half! To be served with cold food & stale bread. All four of our dishes weren’t edible, when complaining our waiter suggested reheating said food…before getting the manager who then although offering to make 4 new plates didn’t have the best attitude to what we all had to say nor very apologetic. We at which point didn’t want to waste any longer waiting for more food. So walked out. There was also a separate table with similar issues over food quality and again watching the same poor response from management. When asking about the kitchen to which the manager replied with they have no issues tonight at the pub. If you have no issues then these standards are terrible. Poor quality food/service. It’s a shame as the pub is in a lovely setting! But restaurant is to be avoided.”

  “The pub is lovely, staff are so friendly, however the food is somewhat lacking!! The mushrooms with blue cheese on sourdough have never seem any blue cheese. The BBQ burger didn’t have any BBQ sauce. The pork loin was delicious.”

  “What a gem of a place. Beautiful character pub with great accommodation. Lovely staff and friendly locals made us very welcome. Our room turned out to be a self contained suite with kitchen, lounge, twin bedroom and bathroom. Great range of beers and wines and plenty of parking spaces. Brilliant!”

  “We booked for a Friday night only stay but wished we had booked Saturday as well. The bar side of the pub is very friendly and you can have a great time and you feel part of the banter. The price you pay for the rooms is a fair price with good selection of food. The breakfast is also good. One of there Trump cards is their staff who are outstanding.”

  “Didn't stop in the rooms, however, my wife and I called in for lunch with our 2 wet Labradors ( which wasn't a problem at all ) We enjoyed a lovely lunch and chose off the set menu which included a limited choice drink. The food was lovely but a little small for me but adequate for my wife. Maybe I will choose from the big boys menu next time.😂 The staff are absolutely wonderful, friendly and all have a lovely sense of humour. They made us feel really welcome and most importantly made such a fuss of our dogs and welcomed them. Incidentally all dogs are openly encouraged to pay a visit on a Monday for their doggy day but must take their owner along.😂”
