A little disappointed

For the cost I can’t complain to much, very disappointed with the fact that they couldn’t provide any food options, didn’t like the fact that there wasn’t any sort of net curtains so you were either on full display to the public or you had to have the curtains drawn no secondary glazing so when the council workmen started putting up the market stalls @6am that was me awake. The bar had a good choice of drinks at very competitive prices, car parking was good over all it served my purpose for somewhere to sleep and a good chip shop just around the corner and the hotel dinner supply me with a plate and cutlery so I could eat in my room

The Windmill was perfect for its locality near to the relatives we were there to visit. We had a beautiful big room, overlooking the market square. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept well. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My only negative would be that although it had an overall look of cleanliness, it really needed a deep clean. The linoleum in the bathroom was coming away around the eges of the room and was full of dust. Having said that it wouldnt stop us from staying there again.

Pleasant stay

Lovely room at the top of the building very clean on the inside, so don’t be fooled by the state of the outside. It was dead quiet, no food available but options in close vicinity. Lovely welcome. Shower a bit tricky to work out but once you do plenty of hot water.

Could have been hoovered before we checked In

So where do i start, First,the dirt is a joke, cobwebs finger marks,bath scum dust food on the tables for previous people, poor attempt of hoovering,and crumbs under your feet. if you want a cleaned room, don’t come here. i think we left it cleaner than when we arrived. Second the noise if you want quiet the rooms connect by a door that you can literally hear everything through plus if they go to the toilet through the night the hall way lights are on sensors so it lights up your hall way aswell. Third noise-go on a weekend, you hear everything doors bang due to no soft closes,banging about in the bathrooms plus again the door between with the glazed window which you can literally hear everything through so if you have neighbours good luck. To be honest, the rooms are decorated lovely but the housekeeping is shocking if they had a better cleaner than it would be a lot better. light and sound through the night not good! If they did this it be a great little stay over place but at the minute i wouldnt bother unless you want to have a disturbed night and feel more dirty then you walked in after a full day out. Sorry but I wouldn't come again! For £176 per night you’d expect it to be clean,carpets were absolutely filthy and the rooms stunk of fust. This is from a none karen just fed up of the lack of thought and cleanliness person!!

Wasn’t the best condition. Did the job for one night. But one of us has to sleep on the sofa and it was very stained. The fridge was very dirty. I wouldn’t want to stay again. But like I said it did the job.
