This was our second visit and I think that we both found it to be even more enjoyable than the first time. The welcome is superb becuase we are immediately made to feel very much at home. Staying in the windmill suite meant that we had access to the top of the windmill from where there are extensive views across... More

What a welcome, a last minute booking turned in to a terrific find, as other people have reviewed Julian and Wendy are fantastic examples of what great hospitality is about. The Windmill Suite was lovely, they have really worked hard to bring the old windmill in to great accommodation. Sleep quality was superb, the fact that you have floor after... More

Had a lovely 2 night stay at The Windmill 5th and 6th March, in the Windmill Suite. We were the only guests and made to feel very welcome by Julian and Wendy. I have been researching my husband's family history and Thurleigh was a good base for Woburn, Ridgmont and Buckingham.The first night we ate at The Jackal in Thurleigh... More

Our recent stay at The Windmill was absolutely superb. We could not have asked for a more friendly welcome, the accommododation was top class, the breakfasts were mouth-watering. We just cannot wait to go back again. MC & CP, Derby

Having just visited a friend in a large impersonal and more expensive hotel, our arrival at the Windmill made me feel so elated. The decor is tasteful, the garden suite offered us all we wanted and more, as my husband had to spend the evening there, the breakfast perfect and in a delightful setting, and the owners really friendly and...

We arrived in the afternoon and Wendy made us feel very welcome by offering us tea and coffee. It exceeded our expectations as we really had the entire Windmill for ourselves including the top of the windmill with a 360 degree view of the countryside. Breakfast was spot on with everything we could have wished for including eggs from Wendy's... More

My boyfriend bought a Fresh Weekends Unique places to stay voucher for £116.00. We wanted to stay in a windmill so decided to book this hotel.. We where told that we couldn't use the voucher on a Friday or Saturday night and this was similar with other places we tried to book using the Fresh Weekends Voucher so buyer beware.... More

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that, on this occasion, we didn't provide the unique break you were looking for. This is our aim, even though we are a B&B (not an hotel, as you seem to think). Our Windmill is very popular, we already have many bookings for next year, so it was a shame... More

We were welcomed with coffee and tea in the Gazebo looking onto their beautiful gardens. The room was fabulous with all of the trimmings and a huge bathroom. We stayed in the windmill itself which is spectacular! Our breakfast was delicious. We asked to stay an extra night because it was so lovely but of course it was all booked... More

Me and my partner stayed here a few weeks back after getting a 1 night Fresh Weekends voucher from the "in-laws" for Christmas. We chose it initially because of the location near to Milton Keynes (my other half was going indoor skydiving at Airkix the next day!), and didn't really know what to expect due to lack of reviews online....
