“Windmill Farm commands a truly magnificent view over the farmlands and dam, creating an immediate sense of peace that's rare for a weekend escape from the city. The attention to detail, from comfortable furnishings and plentiful hot water to thoughtful touches like hot water bottles, makes the accommodation feel genuinely welcoming and well-cared for. It's a place where the quiet surroundings and useful on-site facilities, like the restaurant, combine to offer significant value.”
