Guests say
Guests are overwhelmingly positive about Llancayo Windmill, praising its unique charm, well-equipped facilities, and generous welcome packs. The property's renovation is admired for its blend of character and modern comfort, making it an exceptional venue for celebrations and relaxing holidays. The surrounding area offers ample activities, enhancing the stay.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with only one mention of a need for more intensive cleaning in a specific ensuite, which slightly impacts the otherwise perfect perception.
The location is highly praised for its quiet, rural setting with stunning views and proximity to local attractions, contributing to the property's 'wow' factor.
Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the property warm, although a single mention of creaky beds and a desire for extra blankets slightly affects the score.
Facilities are regarded as exceptional, with a well-stocked kitchen and ample amenities. There is a minor note on the small size of the cafetiere and a suggestion for improvement in one of the ensuites, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs impressively.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the generous welcome packs provided, which include local produce and treats. While these are greatly appreciated, it's important to note that such gifts, though delightful, are subject to change and not guaranteed.

This was the most stunning venue to stay for a winter break. Very welcoming, warm and the welcome pack was exceptional. Such a personal touch with a homemade Victoria sponge cake on the kitchen table. Everything was decorated to the highest standard and the sitting room was very comfortable. The dining table was just amazing. All of my guests were overwhelmed and it certainly had the "wow" factor.

We loved staying in the beautiful windmill. It is a perfect mix of traditional mill and comfortable holiday home and the bountiful local produce that we were greeted with was the icing on the cake! It is situated in a perfect spot for exploring the region. Highly recommended.
