Do not miss the Windmill Cottage if you are looking for a private country retreat just for the two of you! My partner and I stayed there for 2 nights over Christmas. Our requirements - it must be well presented and furnished, well lit with ample space, clean, private and good location. Windmill Cottage ticks all the boxes for us and more!
As soon as we arrived at the farm gate with a clear instruction on how to get there from Marcelle, we knew right away that we’ve chose the perfect place for our country getaway. The driveway lead us right to the front of the cottage. It feels like we’ve arrived at our own country home, with rustic furnishing on one side of the cottage, and hay stacks and chopped woods on the other side.
As we entered the cottage, we get a sense of space. Its generous open plan with soaring ceiling height is picture perfect and well furnished. They must have put a lot of thoughts in the furnishing as every single piece matches well to make you want to stay there. And there’s more! There is a large private outdoor living space with a nice garden and a curious, friendly sheep (fenced up, of course). The place comes with breakfast - a loaf of fresh bread, their own farmed chicken and duck eggs, homemade honey from their own bees, homemade marmalade from their own fruit trees and bacon and a large 2 litres of fresh milk! A wonderful country touch as I was only expecting a really basic continental breakfast.
As we were there during Christmas, we knew it would be difficult for us to find a place to eat out so we brought our own food to cook and also some of our kitchen essentials, like a good knife and olive oil. But we didn’t have to use any of our own. They have all the kitchen essentials and reasonable good quality to make you feel at home in your own kitchen! How thoughtful is that. This is a big plus for me and for those who just want to stay home.
Lastly I have to point out is the shower area. It comes with 2 shower heads and look out to the back garden. How romantic for a couple. Love it!
In summary, we could not find any fault at the Windmill Cottage as a couple private retreat. The location is perfect for what we want to experience in the area.
Thanks Marcelle and Carl!
