Everything was just perfect, fantastic holiday the whole family had a wonderful time.
The windmill is incredible! It was the perfect setting for a long weekend with friends. Fully kitted out. Everything finished to an excellent standard. Highly recommend!
I would give 10 stars if available!! Wonderful setting, Fantastic welcome package provided, we were blown away by the decor; interiors and gardens. Kids had great fun and we all loved the whole experience (I should probably stop gushing now, but it was just everything we’d hoped for 100%). Thank you
A group of 12 girl friends - we had the most amazing time and the Windmill exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend!!! 10 stars not 5
Such a great place exceeded our expectations and so welcoming with all the goodies that was left for us
Perfect accommodation, location and hosts. Spacious, comfortable, clean. Every thing you need is there, with plenty to see and do. Spacious parking for all our families cars. The little extras provided were a nice surprise.
This magical place lived up to all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The overwhelming generosity of the host was mind blowing, with an attention to detail second to none. The peaceful setting was just what was needed to fully recharge our batteries. All in all a wonderful experience for our multi generational party! We will talk about it for years to come.
Llancayo Windmill is amazing. It’s been renovated to a stunning specification with 4 en-suite double/twin rooms and an additional 2 double/twin bedrooms. The kitchen contains everything you could wish for and, unlike many cottages I’ve stayed in, has a reasonable rather than basic larder provided meaning you don’t need to get herbs, spices, flour, etc etc for your catering. Furthermore, the owner provides an excellent package of basics which is suitable for the number renting the property (whilst the package is standard - and always nice - it doesn’t normally cater for larger group bookings). There I are 2 reception rooms (a dining room and living room) both of which fully support the group size and there is also a snug on the top floor which is well equipped with books, games, jigsaws etc which would be good for the kids (we were a group of adults so we tended to spend our time chatting and walking). Best of all though was the fact you are staying in a windmill! You could walk around on a balcony and the views were brilliant. It was also well situated to walk into Usk if you wanted to. There is also a lot to do in the local area as this area on Wales is beautiful. All in all it was a fabulous, reasonably priced break - thoroughly recommended.
The whole place was finished to a high degree. Warm, cozy etc plus wonderful welcome box and the area to visit was simply beautiful. We loved visiting The Big Pit and the surrounding countryside was awe inspiring. X
The accommodation was exceptional. Beautifully decorated with every amenity you could need or want. The grounds were immaculate and safe for children. The welcome pack made you feel you were valued guests. Would highly recommend.
exceptional ,better than the pictures ,made a 60th birthday to remember . the welcome cake and treats were lovely, cannot wait to go back . you wont be disappointed
It was a lovely place to stay and was very well equipped apart from the fact that for the price the towels were rather poor quality and some of us were cold in bed and there were no extra blankets.
We loved everything about the mill -its location, the accommodation, the attention to detail both inside and out and the generosity of the hosts in providing so much food and drink. We even enjoyed sitting down together and watching the video about the restoration of the mill. A magical venue in which to celebrate an 80th birthday . Thank you so much.
Stunning location and very well catered for, especially local cheeses and cake was amazing. A very memorable family break for husband’s/grandads 70th birthday 🎉🎂 **
Lovely well decorated place in a beautiful location. Fantastic provision of kitchenware, food, facilities, and really good communication. Everyone was wowed by the Windmill both on first sight and when exploring the interior. Would love to visit again sometime.
Absolutely stunning location and we arrived on a clear blue sky day which really gave it its wow factor. All basics within the property covered and the obvious will be…there are a lot of stairs. We came for a special birthday and the welcome package just added to that. The local Indian takeaway is one we would recommend if you fancy a night in, although we didn’t chance delivery of it. The owners were incredibly helpful as well.
An exciting building which has been very tastefully restored to very high standards. Impressive choice of fixtures and fittings. The stone floors a good choice if a trifle noisy. Delighted to experience the whole 'cap and sails' revolving as the wind changed. Beds very comfortable but a degree of noise from creaky floors and echoing entrance vault and kitchen. Kitchen extremely well 'kitted out' with virtually anything one might need. The only gripe was the cafetiere was on the small size - could have done with 2 of them for the number of people staying. A really memorable place for a family gathering - especially as we were lucky enough to have memorable sunrises and sunsets!
The accommodation was wonderful, with lots of room and great facilities. The views were superb too.
The Windmill was beautifully presented, clean, and well equipped with lovely extra touches for Christmas. We had everything we could possibly need for our holiday including an electric charging point for vehicles.
Amazing place with plenty of space and amenities, the owners have thought of everything down to every detail. Only criticism is the top floor bedroom en suite could do with some work. The tray in the shower was discoloured and the grout needed a more intensive clean. Also found the bed in that room to be awfully creaky, but that may have been down to the legs being on blocks which I found very strange. Otherwise was grateful that the house was very warm and every room was controlled by individual stats and most benefited from underfloor heating.

If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
