Windmill Cottage

Windmill Cottage was our first barn conversion at Elms Farm and sits on the original site of Costock Windmill, built in 1921. It is a pretty, self-contained, quiet getaway.
Windmill Cottage stands on the former site of Costock Windmill, which remained in full operation until the 1920s. In the 1950s, the site became home to the Costock Pony Stud, and the building served as a stable block for many years. It was finally renovated in 2016, transforming it into the charming cottage it is today—its name a nod to its historic past.

Windmill Cottage is a completely self-contained property located on Elms Farm, offering guests exclusive access throughout their self-catering stay.

The cottage features a combined kitchen and lounge area, one double bedroom, and a modern en-suite shower room. Outside, there is a small private patio area for you to enjoy.

Well-behaved dogs are very welcome for a small supplement of £10 per dog per stay or week.

We can supply delicious breakfast hampers, along with a selection of fresh meats from our on-farm butchery shop. Our shop also offers fresh dairy, bread, free-range eggs, and other local produce. If you'd like to put together a hamper or sample any of Elms Farm's finest meats, just let us know at the time of booking or when you arrive!

A lovely review of the Windmill Cottage by one of our customers:

***** Fantastic stay, coming back!

Booked a couple of days before arriving and were given their Windmill Cottage which was just perfect for us.

With lambs and cattle in the adjacent fields and nothing but green hills to look at we felt instantly relaxed.

The bed was so comfortable and the farm provided everything needed to make our stay hassle free.

The breakfast provided at the farm house was wonderful and the couple who own the farm were extremely helpful and told wonderful stories about how they are transforming the farm little by little.

Walking distance to the local village pub which has a great selection of gins you could easily spend a few days here and be happy!

"Lovely place, right on their farm. You can look out the window at the horses and sheep and walk up bit further to see even more horses and cows. There is also a lovely farm shop with local goodies for you to enjoy!! Definitely worth the price, a brilliant little place perfect for a country get away! COVID safety was also on point and the house was super clean with documents to prove it! Will be staying again in the future xx"
