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.

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!

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.

The accommodation was fantastic! By far the best equipped holiday rental we have ever stayed in. All very clean and plenty of essentials provided. The welcome hamper was superb and we all enjoyed the cake, cheese, bacon etc. The windmill itself is one of a kind and we loved staying in such an unusual and distinctive property. We can also recommend Jane White catering - she did us proud for a last night feast. In the area, we can recommend the White Hare distillery in Usk for gin tasting, canoeing on the Brecon canal from Goytre Wharf, walks up Sugar Loaf and Table Mountains, eating out in Abergavenny, Raglan Castle, Usk castle, wild swimming in the River Usk and a trip to Cardiff Bay.

What an absolute treat staying in this windmill. It is situated in a beautiful setting in its own large grounds. It is beautifully maintained and has been fitted out to a very high specification. The welcome 'basket' was so much more and the cake went down very well with everyone. It was amazing to see all our group be so gobsmacked as they explored the whole space. Hopefully we'll be back for a 60th. Thank you.
