Windmill Retreat Reviews

"Amazing place to stay supreme quality accommodation with perfect little touches to enhance your stay. The welcome hamper with local produce such a lovely surprise on arrival."
Sally - Feb 2024
"We had a great time, the lodge was brilliant, and it was fully equipped. I would definitely recommend"
Donna - Jan 2024
"Oak Lodge had everything we needed for a perfect Christmas get away. Every detail was thought of including a bright and welcoming Christmas tree. Very spacious for a family of five with plenty of room to socialise and rest.The hot tub was a very cosy bubbly delight.Id like to try the spa and restaurant on another occasion outside of the Christmas holiday period as understandably everything was closed.A wonderful country get away I would definitely recommend."
Samantha - Dec 2023
"First time at Windmill Retreat, a girls break & wow! The love was amazing, sparkly clean & everything you wanted. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture. The hot tub a bonus and then we discovered the onsite cafe, wow, amazing food. We are already planning our return. Fantastic find"
Jenny - Nov 2023
"We recently stayed at Hazel View Lodge and it was amazing! I would 100% recommend this lodge and windmill retreat to anyone. From arriving the staff were wonderful and really friendly. The lodge has a space to park 2 cars which is amazing and something I couldnt find prior to booking. The spaces next to the lodge are quite steep but the staff were really friendly and happy to help where they can. We enjoyed the lovely welcome gift and was pleasantly impressed to see how well equipped the lodge is. They have truly thought of everything. The beds were super comfy and the showers were great! We enjoyed the hot tub too and overall had a great experience and hope to come back and visit again some time."
Verified Guest - Nov 2023
"Everything about this holiday was excellent. The ease of checking in with friendly helpful staff. The beautiful food in the on-site restaurant. The lodge was so well located with stunning views. It was warm and cosy, very clean, such a wonderful welcome pack including bubbles. So many extras added, like gowns to wear to and from the hot tub. The beds were so comfortable and the overall space in the lodge was so good. The lodge was clean to the highest of standards. We will definitely be returning very soon."
Debra - Nov 2023

"Stayed here for a few days in July. Excellent accommodation, it had everything you need. Plenty of room for everyone. It was spotlessly clean with the added touch milk, tea/coffee and a cake on arrival. A great base to explore the local area and the hot tub was lovely to return back to in the evening. Would definitely recommend."

"A lovely upside down house. Very clean and well cared for. Providing robes for the hot tub was a thoughtful touch. A nice cafe on site which 2 of us used for lunch on arrival. There is also a spa although we did not visit it on this occasion.
The only thing our group missed was a cafetire (as we brought coffee with us) and a teapot!
A coffee pod machine is, however, provided."

"Amazing will definitely go back to our piece of paradise"
Margaret - Sep 2019
"A lovely place to stay.Spotless and very well equiped.Roomy and beds were very comfortable.A little disconcerting to hear people moving round above you but it wouldnt put me off returning.The wet room was excellent,the addition of a shower stool would have made it an excellent facility for anyone disabled.My only other suggestion for improvement would be a curtain available to pull across the glass front door in the evening.Before leaving for home we called in the cafe for breakfast and the food was excellent."
Lynda - Sep 2019
"Great place for a peaceful break. Ideal for a couple as quiet site but plenty to do in surrounding area. Book a spa day whilst there. A must"

Keeley - Jul 2022

Lucy - Jul 2022
"Beautiful apartment, very clean and homely, very comfortable beds and very peaceful stay."
Andrea - Jul 2022
"Just back from a long weekend, we did pay for a travel cot and high chair which wasn’t in the cottage when we arrived but we went to the spa and they called someone who quickly sorted. Cottage was lovely, lots of space and outdoor space. For anyone who hasn’t done anything like this before remember to pack, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, salt, hand wash (I expected them to have some in the kitchen). Maybe a sharp knife they were all blunt and we really struggled to cut anything. Also a very sensitive smoke alarm, unless it was just our cooking :) Check out at 9am was so early when you have 3 families and kids to organise. All in all we had a lovely stay would recommend."
Linda - Jun 2022
"We have stayed at Millers Rest since 2018 and have enjoyed our stay , everything very clean and everyone helpful and friendly we have already booked for next year.When you find somewhere that you like keep going back."
Jean - Jun 2022
"Good location for getting around but you do need a car. We didn’t use the spa or the on-site restaurant but understand that both are very good."
Susan - Jun 2022
"Excellent lodge with everything you could need for a weekend stay. We especially loved the hot tub. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed the lovely welcome pack and using the excellent kitchen facilities. Would love to stay here again."
Samantha - Jun 2022
"We stayed here the night before a wedding as the bridal party and the Bride and Groom then stayed at the lodge the night of the wedding. The staff were really helpful and the lodge was lovely. Everything was really clean and modern. There are more than enough towels, robes and crockery provided. It was a nice and easy check-in process, the hot tub, showers and other facilities were lovely. Would highly recommend. Beautiful lodge."
Emily - Jun 2022
"Clean, so quiet, beautiful, hot tub fab, the weather was good made the holiday complete. Went for breakfast at the levels kitchen before leaving excellent well worth it. All in all a brilliant place to stay"
