most of the staff was pleasant but the idiot who is in charge leaves a lot to be desired he is unkempt and tatty looking and he cooks!!!! the breakfast was dire. Although the hotel was clean,and in a very nice market town the unruly customers on friday night spoilt our stay fights,, drunks ,and the sound of pint pots smashing was terrible will never recommend or never stay again

Room Tip: all rooms clean but basic

“Nice staff, pretty location, bit 1990's though”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2009

My friend and I stayed for one Saturday night to be close to the race track at Caldwell. We payed £70 inc cooked breakfast for a twin room, whilst his brother and his wife and their three year old and teenager stayed in a family room.
Perhaps a hotel suited to the older crowd,since it's certainly not modern and there;s not much to do for the young ones, however we were pleased with the room size and have never seen so much tea, coffee and MILK in our lives!! Excellent! Nothing more frustrating than having a revoltingly strong coffee first thing in the a.m.
Best bits: welcoming receptionist, extra milk, pretty location, good breakfast, being able to book a really early breakfast.
Not so good: Weak shower pressure, no extra pillows, pictures on website make it look awful!!

“Awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2008

Having stayed at the Windmill Previously we decided to go again, BIG MISTAKE!

Upon arrival we found the staff rude and unhelpful. The room was dirty and shabby and looked like it hadnt been cleaned for a month. There was no coffee or teaspoons, and they bed was unkempt.

Breakfast was even worse with horrible bread sausages and salty Bacon.

Stayed June 2008

Read the review and was a bit disappointed about the comments...then got to the part about the SAUSAGES! We have a bit of a phobia about the way sausages are made and as a consequence do not have them!! Are you sure you have the right hotel???
