I stay at the Windmill regularly, the overall cleanliness is second to none, decor could do with freshening up a bit, but on the whole always a nice stay. The new manager and staff are very welcoming and extremely helpful. As an EV driver and 2 other EV's in the carpark, a charge point should be in place

Nice clean room and friendly staff. Easy to park car. Only stayed for a couple of days, if we had stayed longer would have been nice to have a mini fridge.

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay. The Windmill offers great value, without all the pressure and hassle of either a B&B or a chain hotel. Do support them if you are in the area. The bar and games room are great. We popped out for takeaway and were able to eat these in the hotel main room and the cafe opposite for breakfast was great too.

Good on site parking.. This hotel is friendly and priced well we had the superior double thomas payne suit. clean and fairly new decor. Dont expect the Ritz but expect a well priced friendly stay.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Excellent location right in the centre of Alford with own parking or free parking on market square opposite. We were aware that the property is under new management, and a lot of decorating needs doing in the main building. No breakfast available at the time we stayed, but a lovely cafe next door. Room was clean with good lighting, good quality furniture and plenty of storage space. Comfortable bed with excellent bedding. Could have done with a hairdryer in the room. Bathroom and fittings very good - obviously recently refurbished, but level of cleaning of toilet, mirror and shower screen could have been a bit better.

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff from the moment we arrived. The hotel reminded me of pubs and hotels from my child hood. Nothing fancy but still worth the stay. The bar downstairs had a good vibe to it. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The shower was also clean. A few toiletries like shampoo body wash and bars of soap are put in the bathroom. Tea coffee and milk was there ready for a cup of tea in the morning. The view was lovely if you like people watching. 2 minutes away is a patisserie which did the best breakfast Iv had in a long time. It’s about a 25 minute journey to Mablethorpe beach. I will be going back there as I loved the atmosphere it had. 10/10
