The food/staff and drinks were AMAZING!! Will 100% be back to use the restaurant. The hotel part could be equally as good with a little investment. The beds are awful. So uncomfortable and squeak and creak with every breath you take! The room was tidy and clean but very tired. Towels had holes in them. And the doors were very loud when they closed. Very loud. Definitely recommend the restaurants. And even the hotel but bear in mind the beds are not great.

Stayed here for one night. Relatively clean but room was desperate for an update. Bed was stained around base and off the supports at bottom. Spiders and webs in the room corners. Socket where kettle set up was broken. Room was facing main motorway so noisy all night and no sound proofing windows. Car parking at hotel reception area surrounded by over flowing bin units and discarded old furniture. Staff were friendly enough though.

First room had issues however quickly sorted and swapped into a new room. For £60 it was as expected - ok for a business type stay but not somewhere to stay for a romantic break...

Avoid the hotel at all costs

The food in the restaurant area is reasonable, good price and portions. Some staff have a poor grasp of English. The location attracts a lot of lower-class people, for some reason (probably the food portion size and prices). The hotel itself is grim to terrible. I would not recommend this as a suitable location for someone on a business trip, unless your business is dealing drugs, in which case it's perfect. Especially for those rendezvous where you need to move suspicious packages between vehicles in the car park, avoiding the undercover police officers and observation/evidence gathering cameras (which there must be, judging by the clientele). Someone tried getting into my room in the middle of the night, and I noticed the handle was damaged in the morning. The beds were not made, and shower soap was just shampoo. When I came back to my room in the afternoon, the door to my room was slightly ajar; someone had been in and not closed it properly (I suspect housekeeping; however, there was not much housekeeping done). It was a good job I had taken my valuables/laptop, etc, with me, else I suspect this would have gone. There was no point making any complaints as I felt it would fall on deaf ears and nothing they hadn't heard before. My fault because you pay for what you get in life, and for £50 per night, I only have myself to blame...... never again

Windmill hotel

Staff was very friendly & helpful plenty of choice to eat in the restaurant, down sides there was a work station in the room but no chair to sit on to work, TV was very hit and miss it is free view and most of the channels didn’t work toilet roll was just placed on the top of the holder which is very lazy by housekeeping. Bed had sharp wooden corners on it which I caught my shin on 3 or 4 times I’m sure it would be easy enough to make the corners round instead of sharp

Awful hotel. Like a 70s murder scene. Dirty, uncomfortable, smelly - just don’t bother!
