42 reviews from guests who stayed at Windmill Retreat
We genuinely loved our time at Levels View! The house truly exceeded our expectations-so clean and the beds were super comfy. We made good use of the hot tub every evening, perfect to unwind. The location was just what we wanted-peaceful and quiet, yet we went out every day. Only minor gripe was the absence of a wardrobe in the double bedroom, so we had to move some drawers around. Also, we brought a mop for the bathroom and toilet brushes for a couple of the bathrooms. Overall, a lovely stay!
Great spot, we'd definitely come back!
Comfortable, well-equipped lodge, genuinely impressed with everything!
Really pleased with the product
Weve been here four times now and honestly, it just keeps getting better. Such a peaceful spot, perfect for relaxing and discovering new little things each visit. Love it!
We had such a fantastic girls weekend here! The lodge was absolutely lovely and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. The onsite spa facilities were top-notch and honestly, the food was incredible - probably the best roast weve ever tasted. We dont usually revisit places, but this ones definitely an exception. Cant wait to return!
Perfect girls weekend retreat, lodge was fabulous, hot tub great and the spa facilities onsite were amazing and so was the food, probably the best roast I have ever had out. We don't normally go back to the same place twice but we will make an exception for this place and can't wait to come back.
Overall, our stay was lovely. The apartment was spotless and comfy and we really enjoyed the location. The only hiccup was the shower-water didnt drain properly, so we had to rush and then clean up after. Still, it didnt ruin everything!
Great spot, comfy stay, highly recommend it!
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was perfect.
Loved the stay, can't wait to return!
Great trip, would definitely go again!
We had such a lovely family break! The lodge was super comfy and had everything we needed - lovely beds, fresh linen, fluffy towels and even robes. The welcome treats were a nice touch. The kids loved the hot tub, which was always clean and ready. Perfect spot for exploring the area and wed definitely come back. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful spontaneous trip to the Sail Loft. The place was super cosy, warm and felt really inviting. The surprise cake on arrival was a lovely touch! The breakfast at Levels cafe was spot-on and a walk to the local pub made it perfect. Well definitely return!
We absolutely love Windmill Retreat! Its perfect for relaxing at your own pace and the location is ideal for exploring nearby spots like Street, Glastonbury and Bridgwater. The Sail Loft is cosy but spacious enough for two, with a lovely balcony to enjoy. Were definitely returning for our third visit - its become a bit of a favourite now! Cant recommend it enough.
Really loved the place!
We stayed at this lodge recently and really appreciated how cosy and well-thought-out each room was. Everything was spotless too, which makes such a difference. We definitely felt at home here, loved it!
Solid experience overall, no major complaints from us.
Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless and the communication from staff was top-notch.
We loved this spot for a relaxing getaway. Perfect for couples seeking peace, with loads nearby to explore. Definitely book a spa day - its a real highlight!
We had a fantastic stay! The village was charming and the views stunning. The pubs food was really good and everyone at the spa seemed happy. Well definitely be back soon!
The apartment itself is quite lovely, perfect for unwinding. However, the limited facilities mean you end up driving quite a bit. If the price drops a little, wed definitely consider returning. Its a nice spot!
Great for creating some privacy around the hot tub, especially against the wind. Easy to install and makes a noticeable difference. Were really happy with it!
We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was spotless and really beautiful. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help if we had any questions - like when we couldnt figure out how to get the smart TV to pick up web channels, someone came straight over to assist us. The Sunday roast in the on-site restaurant was honestly one of the best weve had - perfect roast beef and fantastic veg, definitely great value. Honestly, the hot tub was the cherry on top. A brilliant weekend all around, well be back!
Lovely, would return
Nice place, would definitely stay again!
We had a few little hiccups at first, like no shower gel and a broken door handle, but the staff sorted everything out swiftly. The sofa was a bit on the firm side, but honestly, the location was stunning and the bed was super comfy! Loved the dressing gown and the coffee machine, plus the hamper was a lovely surprise. Also, the pub nearby served some cracking food. Would definitely go back!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The place was spotless and those thoughtful little touches made all the difference. The welcome hamper with local goodies was a lovely surprise, indeed!
Really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was super comfy and had everything we needed. Highly recommend it!
We had such a lovely time at Oak Lodge! The place really had everything we needed for a cosy Christmas break. The Christmas tree was a nice touch and made the place feel really festive. Its surprisingly spacious for a family of five, giving us plenty of room to relax and catch up. The hot tub was definitely a highlight - so bubbly and warm! Wed love to visit again outside the holiday season to try the spa and restaurant. Highly recommend!
2nd time at Windmill Retreat, and was just as great as the first time.
Fabulous spa and cafe on site too. Lovely walks locally, peaceful location.
Very relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings
A wonderful bolt hole for ultimate relaxation. The accommodation is of a very high standard and includes everything you need. The welcome treats are an excellent touch (the lemon drizzle was yummy) and the staff are extremely friendly. I came away feeling calm and relaxed. I’ll be back.
Absolutely loved my stay at windmill retreat, celebrating my hen do here was exactly what I thought it was going to be. The spa on the retreat was lovely relaxing and definitely worth the money. Was peaceful, relaxing And thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Will be coming back again!
Beautiful lodge in tranquil surroundings, not too far from towns and tourist spots but far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the countryside.
Beautiful apartment, very clean and homely, very comfortable beds and very peaceful stay.
Just back from a long weekend, we did pay for a travel cot and high chair which wasn’t in the cottage when we arrived but we went to the spa and they called someone who quickly sorted.
Cottage was lovely, lots of space and outdoor space.
For anyone who hasn’t done anything like this before remember to pack, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, salt, hand wash (I expected them to have some in the kitchen). Maybe a sharp knife they were all blunt and we really struggled to cut anything. Also a very sensitive smoke alarm, unless it was just our cooking :)
Check out at 9am was so early when you have 3 families and kids to organise.
All in all we had a lovely stay would recommend.
We have stayed at Millers Rest since 2018 and have enjoyed our stay , everything very clean and everyone helpful and friendly we have already booked for next year.When you find somewhere that you like keep going back.
Good location for getting around but you do need a car. We didn’t use the spa or the on-site restaurant but understand that both are very good.
Excellent lodge with everything you could need for a weekend stay. We especially loved the hot tub. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed the lovely welcome pack and using the excellent kitchen facilities. Would love to stay here again.
We stayed here the night before a wedding as the bridal party and the Bride and Groom then stayed at the lodge the night of the wedding. The staff were really helpful and the lodge was lovely. Everything was really clean and modern. There are more than enough towels, robes and crockery provided. It was a nice and easy check-in process, the hot tub, showers and other facilities were lovely. Would highly recommend. Beautiful lodge.
Clean, so quiet, beautiful, hot tub fab, the weather was good made the holiday complete.
Went for breakfast at the levels kitchen before leaving excellent well worth it.
All in all a brilliant place to stay
