Stayed at this place to be close to family. Was very pleasantly surprised. Pub itself is of very high standard (as are many owned by Young's) and the staff friendly. Rooms were spacious and clean, and billing had no nasty surprises. I would consider staying here again despite it being away from more familiar grounds North of the Thames, and... More

We needed a place to stay for the night near to a friend's house where we were going to a party. The Windmill fitted the bill, locationwise. The rooms are tired and drab with spectacularly uncomfortable pillows. They were, however, reasonably quiet for such a busy location. We didn't eat in the restaurant but had breakfast the following morning. It... More

We stayed here as part of a wedding party. The couple had their reception here and it was absolutely wonderful. The food was great and the staff was brilliant. The rooms were very comfortable and I would definitely return to stay.

We stopped here on the way home from Kingston Upon Thames, as we were drawn by how pretty it looked across the common. In the evening it is just magical. We had a lovely evening light supper and drinks, the decor is just so elegant and the gardens gorgeous, it was great on the balmy evening we were there. Iti... More

It was very warm when we arrived and first you turn off the air on, then you turn on the cool air, the window only opens overly few inches. The Room was dark ,but spacious, the fridge was... More

Love this hotel. It's equidistant between Clapham Common tube and Clapham South tube but a lovely walk on a sunny day. The hotel is typical London, large rooms and high ceilings. Food is lovely (though not cheap) if you eat in the restaurant. Breakfast is included in the room price and is nice and plentiful, though I miss the days... More

The Windmill is a Young's pub, extended into a hotel and restaurant. Very conveniently situated on Clapham Common a few hundred yards from the Northern line with easy access to the city. There is a car park - unusual for inner London .Reasonably priced, a good restaurant and - being a Young's pub - an excellent bar. Very friendly and... More

The location is great. 5ish minute walk form Clapham Common tube. 2 mins from bus stop. it is tucked in a nice quiet corner of the Common. When you arrive you forget you are in the city. It is a...

Our stay at the Windmill was a pleasure through and through. We came for a wedding in Clapham in late March. The weather was dreadful, so we really enjoyed coming back at night to the very cozy pub and our very nice family room. The breakfast was very good: the best spinach and mushrooms I had in a long time... More

I had the opportunity to stay at the windmill last December but decided against it because there are quite a few negative reviews. i did stay at the end of February, beginning of March, and enjoyed the stay very much. I asked for a quiet room, and that is what I got, first a standard room and then a superior... More
