We were really excited to stay here after seeing pictures and good reviews. Once arrived was greeted by Priscilla who was very nice and helpful when we asked for advice in parking and directions. When looking around the room we found out of date biscuits and you monkeys hanging from a cage above our bed, this for us was rather... More

Firstly the bad news, parking can be a problem, particularly if you have a big car....but Priscilla goes out of her way to warn everyone about this at the time of booking...so really no one should grumble about not knowing what's in store on this front. Secondly, rules, lots of rules, which in a quirky sort of way is really... More

Stayed her with my girlfriend as a surprise to her Arrived and the place is exactly as in the pictures - greeted warmly by Priscilla and shown to our room. There are parking restrictions but when you see the setting you can certainly understand why - all very reasonable. Stayed in the Great Spur room which was very comfortable &... More

Booked this as it appeared rather wonderful. Reality was a bit different. While the setting is very nice, with a beautiful view of Bradford, the restrictions imposed ruined the visit for me. We arrived at around 3pm, and were sent away, because some painting was being done (not near our room!?). Upon checking in we were given a info pack,... More

Ron had been banging on at me for years about how he would love to stay in a Windmill, so when I found the Bradford Old Windmill just outside of Bath I booked it up like a rat up a drainpipe! When we finally pulled up at the Windmill both Ron and I were absolutely lost for words. Ron more... More

We booked this B & B on the day of our arrival in Bradford on Avon through the tourist information centre (10% commission) as it was a last minute decision. We were very glad we did. We stayed for two nights in two different rooms, 1 with a waterbed and 1 with a poster style bed (pintail room). The water... More

This was our first visit to this area and we chose the windmill after finding it, by chance, on the internet after discovering the only hotel in town had consistently bad reviews. The hotel's loss was our gain. We had a wonderfull weekend. The windmill and its owners were a delight. Yes it's quirky, we do quirky so thats good.... More

The building and its location are stunning. It must be remembered that when this windmill was built cars were not an issue and therefore problematic parking is to be expected. This was clear on the description. We booked the great spur room with a round bed.The bedroom was quirky, large and well presented. An excellent use of space we thought.... More

I booked the windmill because it was quirky and looked in an idyllic spot to explore the wonderful town and countryside around it. The windmill itself did not disappoint, it is a stunning building with beautiful views over Bradford. Bradford on Avon as a town is also wonderful with many lovely pubs and restaurants to eat in. Our stay went... More

Bradford is an interesting and lovely town. Very old and a little bit quirky. The Old Windmill reflects the uniqueness and charm of the town. The rooms are very different - in shape and decor to a normal B&B - but then who wants a normal B&B ? Priscilla is very accomodating if you remember that essentially you are staying... More
