Windmill Venue Full Description
The Windmill is set in six and a half glorious acres of green lawns and woodland. The approach, though our very own forest, opens to an expanse of open fields and unparalleled views of the stunning Cotswold countryside. The picturesque rural Cotswold village of Asthall, with the Windrush river at its heart, is less than a mile away.
The beautifully appointed 15th century barn-style house is the historic hub of the Windmill. With an abundance of natural beams and exposed Cotswold stone, it’s huge French doors perfectly frame breathtaking panoramic views across the rolling countryside of the Windrush valley. This makes an exquisite setting for your wedding reception of up to 70 guests. Original flag stones lead to the snug and bar area around the corner. There is a 20-meter open air wooden deck adjacent to the main house, perfect for guests to step out onto and fully enjoy the magnificent vista.
Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Rhiannon Pate
As a family foursome we’ve been creating magic at our own venues internationally for more than 20 years. In 2019 we set about finding the perfect English location to continue living out our passion. As soon as we gazed upon the glorious view and the magnificent old Cotswold building that is the Windmill, we knew this was it! We’re so looking forward to planning and hosting magical celebrations at this incredible venue.

Unpleasant experience during wedding viewing
Booked to go see this venue as it was in the top two on our list, we booked with plenty of notice for our viewing
Was really excited to go see it but unfortunately the experience was anything but pleasant
We were treated by a gentleman who made comments about our chosen wedding date/year and insinuated that it wasn’t quick enough for his liking which made us feel pressured to bring it forward
The show around tour of the venue was very limited, wasn’t shown around the venue was just directed to a seating area to discuss further and when asking questions we were made to feel that our downsize small intimate wedding wasn’t big enough for the planner in question
We tried to ask about negotiations and movement on items available as not all were our preferences/liking or just not needed and was met with blunt and rude comments.
While waiting to talk us we were abandoned half way through our appointment for a substantial amount of time around 20 minutes which didn’t make us feel very valued as a potential client/customers. And generally we’re made to feel very unwelcome and inconvenient for the planner/venue in question. The experience was not at all like we had imagined and left feeling very disappointed and frustrated that our wedding didn’t seem good enough to deserve consideration and a good appointment.
Overall just left feeling very disappointed as it was one of the two top options but after the treatment we had received we would not recommend it. I felt the need to share this review so that other couples who are looking for lovely wedding venues do not get mistreated like we did.
