"A truly amazing experience"

Enjoy a luxurious stay in a historic grade II windmill and create unforgettable memories.

The Windmill Blackthorn Hill' is an extraordinary adult-only self-catering holiday accommodations. It's a perfect Romantic Escape for two or a chance to spend quality time with family and friends, accommodating a maximum of four adults.

Your journey begins here:
You will enter your very own Windmill Tower through the roof garden using your personal keypad entry code. As you step inside you are greeted by a sturdy oak door, you will find yourself surrounded by history and charm, transporting you back in time

Sleeping:
Two delightful bedrooms await, each featuring comfortable double beds and luxurious en-suite bathrooms. Ambient lighting sets the mood, showcasing all their features. The bedrooms are kept cosy and warm, allowing you to snuggle up and enjoy your favourite programs on a large HD Smart TV with Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music Unlimited.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, toaster and Nespresso coffee maker.

Ocado (M&S), Sainsbury’s, and Tesco deliver directly to The Windmill at Blackthorn Hill. It’s a wonderful space to enjoy your meals before heading to the Sky Lounge to unwind with a bottle of wine and watch the sunset.

Sky Lounge:
The real highlight of The Windmill is the breathtaking sky lounge. It features comfortable sofas positioned in front of a large smart TV and offers magnificent 360-degree views of the rural countryside. We recommend waking up early, brewing a fresh cup of coffee, and trying to spot grazing deer. You might even catch a glimpse of red kites soaring over the landscape, not to mention the awe-inspiring sunsets and sunrises. Don't forget your camera!

A private lawn area on the roof terrace is perfect for enjoying summer days, complete with a table, cushioned seats, and a parasol umbrella to provide shade. Relax and enjoy a couple of glasses of wine while watching the amazing sunsets.
