This beautiful country property borders the grounds of a 200-year-old Grade II* listed windmill, the landmark that gives the village of Windmill Hill its name. The windmill has been carefully restored with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund, other donors, and a team of dedicated volunteers. It is now an operating windmill, open to the public most Sunday afternoons from Easter to September. House guests can visit the mill at other times by prior arrangement. Entry is free but the Windmill Hill Windmill Trust relies on donations to ensure the continued maintenance of the mill.
Windmill Barn has an enclosed garden to enjoy in the summer and has the benefit of private parking. During the winter you can curl up in front of the wood burner after a brisk walk through the surrounding countryside.
The property resides on some of the highest ground for miles around, and is set within ‘1066 Country’, overlooking the Pevensey Levels National Nature Reserve, beyond which is the English Channel.

The cottage was comfortable and very well equipped and we were made very welcome by the owners. I don't have any comment regarding creating a better experience

We had the most wonderful holiday. Excellent accommodation with very warm, welcoming hosts: Paul & Bee. Only issue for one of us was the low seating in the lounge, but it won’t stop us going to stay there again. Spectacularly clean accommodation and very warm with lovely bed. We had a fascinating tour of the windmill from Paul. Brilliant location for visiting lots of historic places both English Heritage and National Trust. We stayed for a week and wished we could have stayed for a fortnight!

Our second stay at Windmill Barn was just as lovely as the first one. A great cottage with everything you could wish for (and more). And the best hosts ever, Paul and Bee made us feel very welcome again! Love from Holland.
