Well worth a stay
We had a fabulous stay there, the rooms were well equipped and furnished, very warm & homely, felt newly decorated yet reflected the heritage of the very old building that The Windmill is. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and was delicious and well presented.

Excited to return!
We loved our one night stay at the Windmill! The staff are friendly and helpful and both the pub and rooms are just gorgeous. The place manages to be both light, airy and clean as well as rustic, homely and super cosy. We also had a delicious breakfast in the pub. We'll be back!

Great stopover on route to the tunnel
Lovely traditional inn in the village of Hollingbourne. So welcoming on arrival by Victoria who was a little gem. Nice garden to sit in and taste the local wine. Pet friendly too. Will definitely return!

Nice old hotel
Nice room in a very old pub. Excellent evening meal. However, the less said about the bacon in the breakfast the better. I was thinking of calling for a priest.

Great Weekend get away.
We had a great stay in this quirky little pub. Staff were very friendly. Only downside was very noisy plumbing but can’t be helped in such an old building. Breakfast was amazing and it is only a 20 minute walk to Leeds castle.

Staff were excellent, they managed the minor issues with the room professionally. The meal offer is limited if you are not keen on fish or sharing platters. That said we ate twice in the restaurant, the meal was fine, not sure it was great value for the money but I'm sure the price is similar to other establishments in the area. Breakfast is very good, great selection and options. Overall we had a great time and will return

Ok but not 10 out of 10
- Ear plugs in the room in case of loud noise - Loud noise from plumbing/bathroom all the time - Crowded parking - Only one pack of biscuits and rather small cups

Food is divine!!!
The room was lovely. Original features mixed with modern. The staff were friendly. The food however was next level! We had dinner in the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten. The waiting staff and bar tender were lovely as well.

What a fantastic stay!
Stayed in the windmill for just one night after arriving from France after a long drive. What a place! Gorgeous old English pub with lots of places to smack your head and absolutely nothing is straight… the room itself is lovely and simple with a great bed and everything you could need. We went down for a beer and a meal and all of the staff were lovely and could not do enough for you.. the meal was fantastic, I took, with my son, the beef Wellington which is the best I have ever had, even after a lifetime of eating in great restaurants. The wine was all from England and although not as good as some French varieties was a nice touch. The cheese board was local and delicious. After a good nights sleep, we went for the included breakfast. First thing is that you gave lots of options, second point is that it is absolutely fantastic and tasty. Great place, great staff and so happy I booked in. Can’t wait to stay in the summer and use their great beer garden and barbecue…
