Okay stay

Not the most amazing stay. Pebbles in the car park make it very difficult to carry luggage into properly. It was raining and getting from my car into the property dragging luggage was through the pebbles ground wasn’t pleasant. They did wait up for me til about 10:45pm to check me and were quite friendly on arrival. The host was helpful in taking my case up to my room on my arrival but not very helpful at all when I was leaving the next morning and didn’t bat an eyelid when I was struggling with my case to leave. Incredible incredibly narrow stairs up to very odd located room. Very dangerous low sloped ceilings. Cosy breakfast area. But basic continental breakfast including packaged croissants & muffins, breakfast bars & cereals. Reasonably clean room.

Had a wonderful overnight stay on route to Brighton. The evening meal choices were excellent and the food 1st class. Wide selection of self service choice at breakfast with an excellent coffee machine. Would definitely recommend and would stay again when in the area.

Lovely, enjoyable stay

Lovely cozy country pub serving fabulous food. Overnight accommodation very comfortable. Continental self serve breakfast on weekdays but cooked breakfast at weekends however it would be nice for a cooked breakfast on a bank holiday. Contact directly with the hotel with questions was tricky with no replies to messages or emails but I’d definitely visit again.

Relaxing (even with young children)

Easy parking, straight forward check in, the room was perfect for my wife & I, with 2 kids under 5. Dinner was well priced & delicious, both kids enjoyed their child portions. Bar was busy but service was great, back to our room for kids bedtime at 7 & a low murmur of noise from our room meant we all slept really well. Opted not to have cooked breakfast but option was offered the night before, continental breakfast was more than adequate for us all. Played outside in the sunshine until time meant we had to head off, staying away with kids after 2 years of Covid could have been a hassle but not here - looking for an excuse to return!

If like me you like a quiet nights sleep this is the place no traffic noise. Would stay again as friendly, clean, both staff and food excellent (upgrade weekend’s breakfast to cooked ) menu not extensive but very well cooked.

Blown away by the Windmill

A lovely clean, welcoming and comfortable place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights and found out they also put on small event, so we are seriously considering booking out the Windmill for our small wedding reception. Oh and the food was amazing, just a shame they were not doing cook breakfasts at the time of our stay.

Olde world charm!

It was a good stay the staff were brilliant, the food was brilliant, the bed was very comfortable but because the property is very old there were many many small steps everywhere. Because my wife and I are both late seventies we found it difficult to move around . However it’s a great place to stay for the young and fit guests.

Nondescript B&B

Our room, No. 4, was actually two rooms. The one with a double bed in it overlooked a beer garden so we used the other room with twin beds. The beds were very narrow. There is no table to place a laptop or to put one's things; no suitcase rack because there is no room for one and no tissues are provided. The ante room between the bedrooms and the shower room was brightly lit by three, bright in-ceiling lights that were activated by a sensor. This assured that anyone going for a pee in the night is truly awakened by the light. The carpets were soiled and were physically dirty too, which was off-putting. The shower room was small, but the shower enclosure was adequate and the water pressure and temperature were both good. No amenities were provided and there were no hooks to hang towels. These are basic amenities every decent hostelry should provide. Dinner was good. The chef is the property's asset. Breakfast, however, was self-service with nothing cooked or hot on offer. There was no butter; only a tub or some spreadable alternative that had been used by other guests and had traces of jam, marmalade and crumbs running through it. Yuck! The breakfast area was not clean and the table that had been laid for us was sticky, so breakfast was altogether unappetising. We ended up having cereal, coffee and nothing else.

Nice room but being an old building the floors are not level so you can feel a bit “drunk” when walking around or lying in bed. Lovely to have an en suite with a bath. Breakfast was ok (continental) but there was no apparent access to water, which for me is important as I don’t drink tea or coffee. My evening meal was good - I had the local sausages and mash with peas - but the friendly and courteous service was very slow.

Windmill hotel horsham review

Clean and spacious room although air freshner type smell a bit overpowering at first- not suitable for an asthma sufferer. Friendly and accomodating service. Self service continental style breakfast good. Very narrow stairs to rooms, may not be suitable for anyone with a disability or who struggles carrying cases/ bags. Would stay again.
