Pros:

Staff were very nice

Cons:

Room was accessed from stairs outside and had very low slopping ceilings. Needed a hover when we got there and only one set of towels had to ask for more

A short stay to facilitate attendance of a dog scent work event nearby.
Pros:

Loved the property the moment we arrived! Lovely cosy pub with great food and drink, comfortable rooms and very dog friendly. We really liked the fact that our room was very accessible to car park and dog exercise areas. We travel a lot with our dog. Sometimes we are disappointed with properties, but the Olde Windmill was fantastic. We wish we could have stayed longer, and aim to have a longer stay in the very near future.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike.
