Lovely quiet location - beautiful country pub

Beautiful quiet location, Plenty of space outside on the patio and also inside . Staff were friendly and welcoming. Parking was very good with an over fill carpark. Food was very good and breakfast was good value and very nice, If anything, the bedrooms were a little on the small side and rooms need a bit of freshening up. All in All we were very happy with our stay and would certainly go again,

Maxine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Used to go there 20 years ago for food when staying at a local b&b and it’s even lovelier now than it was then. The room was lovely and had everything that we needed. The food was lovely too (both in the evening and breakfast). All the staff and locals were really friendly too. Will definitely be going back.

Upgraded to the one bedroom cottage, which I think was an old stable converted so it’s got lots of original features. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

Good Value

A good value hotel with excellent service by staff. Corridor areas a bit 'tired' but rooms very comfortable. Lovely old bar with plenty of ale choice! We have now used the hotel 3 times over recent years and will certainly use again.

I have stayed i hotels all over the word and this is a most buetiful area was ideal for the occassion. Kind regards Trevor Blick.

Like going back to a more gentle time, the Olde Windmill was a beautifully quiet spot to spend a restful evening before the craziness of a family gathering the next day. Very easy to find and with a great range of food and drink. Nottingham was out final destination en route from Heathrow and we will stay here next time we head Nottinghamwards. Definitely inmy top 10 English pubs.

8/10 Very good

OK for the price

Staying for a weekend with our dog to visit family whilst we found the room comfortable it was rather dated and dreary with little natural light. Also there were at least 5 cats living at the pub and so hanging around the building such that we had to be very wary with our dog as he loves to chase them. The restaurant food and service was good.

The olde windmill inn, Great Cressingham

Staff very friendly and helpful. Food pleasant and building and the garden and play areas are both interesting. The building retains the charm of its origins but when it gets a bit of redecoration with making good of the noticeable wear and tear on woodwork, window frames and furniture it will be even more attractive for those staying there. The facilities and services, such as the regular provision of clean towels, very comfortable beds etc. were all of a high standard. The nights were peaceful despite the nearby road and overall our stay was very good value for the modest charges.
Mrs Barbara, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

I had to remove 4 spiders from our room but perhaps that's to be expected in a nice rural location.
Peter, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok and that’s about it, staff not overly friendly except the older lady on breakfast duty at end of stay. Food was pretty average, we chose to eat elsewhere after first meal. Breakfast was large and plentiful but cooked option was a bit greasy and couldn’t eat all of it. Room was large, old and tired and in need of an update.
