We booked this for April, but lockdown prevented us from going, so we rebooked for October, however our family from Switzerland were still unable to travel, and we were all so looking forward to a break, so we ended up here as a couple on our own. We have not been disappointed, the mill has been renovated beautifully, keeping many of it's historical features intact. The owners live on site, and gave us a very warm welcome on our arrival despite the heavy rain, and the welcome pack provided more than enough to start your week. The cottage is seeped in history, warm, roomy yet still cosy, and has everything provided, and we only had to ask if we needed anything. Being laid out on three floors means stairs are involved so be aware if you are not used to them, it's all part of the lovely experience in this cottage. The views from the many and varied windows as you climb up the three floors are beautiful, the mill pond and stream on either side driving the water wheel, which is transferred as a delightful rotating feature into the kitchen, the wildlife is in abundance as you walk around the cottage grounds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and hope to return with our family in the future, when things get back to normal.

“Our holiday here was fantastic.”

A perfect spot for a relaxed break. Myself and my partner spent 5 days here and are already planning our next trip. The mill was extremely clean, and had every comfort you could want. There are lovely walks around and some amazing sites to see, as well as some great breakfast restaurants and pubs.

“The idyllic setting and the charm of the mill enticed us from the start.”

Jane and Allan, the owners were friendly and helpful if needed. With so many lovely properties the WiFi can be a bit hit and miss. Everything was set up.and provided for a comfortable and we'll facilitated stay. We hope.to return. I think that's the best recommendation we can give.

“Grafton Mil exceeded all our expectations as it was more beautiful than i expected, also the Mill owners Jane and Alan were the best hosts tat any one could ask for and were a great pleasure to meet and spend some lovely time with.”

The Mill itself is very beautiful, along with the grounds surrounding the Mill and wild life that abound there. It was also evident that Alan and Jane were very proud and worked extremely hard to make Grafton Mill a beautiful and relaxing place to stay for a holiday. I would recommend Grafton Mill to any one who wants something a little different and special to spend some time there. You wont be disappointed. My wife and i wanted to rebook for next year, but unfortunately, its already booked for the time we would have liked to return to Grafton Mill.

“We have been to a lot of holiday homes over 44 years from Scotland to Cornwall .”

This home far exceeds any that we have been to. It is a very well equipped and comfortable holiday home in extensive, beautiful grounds with lots of wildlife. Managed to see an otter on our last day! We were greeted with a superb welcome pack and the hosts were very friendly and helpful and were always on hand with helpful information with regard to the surrounding area. There attention to detail was outstanding and they made us feel completely at home. They have created a very special place. We were only there for a week but they made us feel like we had been friends for years! Looking forward to a return visit. Thank you Jane and Alan for making our holiday memorable and hope to see you next year.

“This was our third visit; that says it all!”

Grafton Mill is certainly one of the best properties we have ever stayed in! The owners are extremely helpful and friendly, nothing at all is too much trouble. The property is set in the most beautiful grounds, full of wildlife, places to sit and relax, we wouldn’t be bored if we never left the property all week, it’s so peaceful. Cleanliness is superb, particularly this year as we are all experiencing very difficult times. We felt safe and secure.

“Stunning location and outstanding property”

We had the honour of being the first paying guests at Grafton Mill where we received a friendly greeting from the owners along with a lovely welcome hamper with bread, Prosecco and other goodies. The property is beautifully situated with stunning views across the surrounding duck ponds. We even spotted a family of deer trotting past the mill a couple of times. The location is fantastic, with just a 20 minute drive into the centre of Worcester and a 30-40 minute drive to the stunning Warwick Castle. If you're a National Trust member then there's plenty to see in the surrounding areas. We visited Packwood House, Baddesley Clinton, Hanbury Hall and Coughton Court during our stay, all truly beautiful locations and all within a half hour drive from the mill. There is also a lovely house and gardens on the way into Worcester that we would highly recommend. There are also pubs and a handy petrol station along the road on which the mill is situated, with around a mile walk/drive to each. Although if you are walking, take a torch as it gets very dark at night and the pavements are skinny. The Oak Pub has loads of character and a fantastic menu, perfect for a cheeky fry up in the mornings as it also offers a cafe with a brilliant selection of teas and coffees. Grafton Mill has absolutely everything you need for a cosy getaway, as a couple in our mid-twenties it was perfect for us. The mill has so much character, and if you're really quiet you can hear the gentle splashing of the water in the kitchen as the wheel rotates. The owners were very kind to stay in touch during our stay and let us know when they were and weren't available if we needed anything. We couldn't have asked for a better week away, and will definitely be considering Grafton Mill for a future holiday!
