    Really good pet friendly pub hotel with excellent restaurant just half an hour from Eurotunnel at Folkestone. lots of good walks for your dog directly from the windmill.

    fantastic old world accommodation superbly located for nearby (1.5km) Leeds Castle, in the historic village of Hollingbourne. If you are a history buff and you are lucky one of the barmen gives a fascinating history of the village.

    Well located for Leeds Castle, good parking, rooms good but hot, breakfast could be improved
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Deluxe King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Rooms had very small windows and only 2 could be opened (one in the room and one in the bathroom) and they both had security wires attached limiting the ability to open them any further than @ 10cms and it was a very hot day/night leaving the room very stuffy and hot resulting in a poor nights sleep. The provided fan (nice touch) sadly couldnt be run at night as it was just too noisy. The bed pillows were also too small for the size of bed almost child size (2 x single beds locked together to make a super king). Breakfast food plus the tea and coffee was very nice but the food range limited to menu ordering at the table. We all felt an additional help yourself style buffet would have complimented the breakfast menu better and could have provided refillable fruit juices (none offered at the table but was supplied on request), fresh fruit and yoghurt, cereal options, cold milk, cold meats, pastries, sliced bread for toast with marmalades or jams i.e. normal b&b breakfast but this wasnt offered just the food off the menu.

    Easy check in with the very welcoming staff, rooms were very well appointed, clean and comfortable, bathroom was very clean and well stocked with towels, plenty of hand wash and shower gel/shampoo and conditioner which smelt lovely and was a pleasure to use. The Windmill is well located and has good parking at the rear and a nice garden and outside cooking area. We booked to stay here as we were visiting Leeds Castle and the surrounding area The Windmill is perfectly located for this.

    Location is in a lovely village. the building is historic and beautiful. The food was excellent and the friendliness, care and hopitality of the staff was outstanding - the best I've ever experienced in 60 years of travelling.

    The public wifi wasn't working, had to ask for thee access to the private one which then worked fine.

    Second stay at this accomodation and as the last time it was a great and easy stay. This time got a quieter room at the back just that it was on top of the kitchen so you could hear loud music during the service time yet after the service finished it was pleasant. In general it'a a 10 start place apart from the noise insulation which could be improved. The drink and food offered in the room is super, thanks!

    Unfortunately we had an issue with the shower in the morning, the water didn't drain away and ended up partially flooding the shower room floor and then the toilet decided to block when we flushed it. Also one other quick note, which didn't bother me as much as my partner, but because it was an old building with old pipes, every time toilets were flushed in the rooms, they did make a noise.

    It was in a nice quiet location, with nice surroundings, unfortunately didn't have enough time to explore the area, so would maker sure to arrive earlier next time to try the food and leave later, so we could explore the area. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Restaurant was a little pricey & gluten free options were limited but the kitchen staff did try their best to accommodate my husbands dietary requirements & the quality of the food was excellent.

    Lovely 2 night stay at The Windmill, staff were all very friendly & helpful and the room was lovely with an enormous & extremely comfortable super king sized bed. Breakfast was excellent & location was great for a visit to Leeds Castle.
