Our room was fabulous with a four poster bed - very comfy - and a massive picture window overlooking the market square. A quirky, unique stop over I would recommend.

Wasn’t the best condition. Did the job for one night. But one of us has to sleep on the sofa and it was very stained. The fridge was very dirty. I wouldn’t want to stay again. But like I said it did the job.

Quaint Market town location

Quite a charming, somewhat historic location with a view over the Marketplace ((Tom Paine suite). Limited resources, no food available, but local takeaways OK. Room comfortable. Parking good.

Overall acceptable

We were looking for a basic nights stay and that is what we got. No food at the location (an oversight on my part when booking), but the beds were comfy. Walls a trifle thin, staff very friendly. Plenty of parking.

The Windmill Hotel

I have stayed here previously and found it comfortable, clean and peaceful. Nice bar area to relax. On this stay there was an issue with my original room but it was handle extremely well by the assistant manageress and she even upgraded me for the issue I had with my original room. Very well handled courteous and apologetic. Got to stay in the Thomas Paine Suite. See picture.
