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!

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

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

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 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!

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.
