Grafton Mill

A Holiday Cottage with a difference. 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.

Myself and my family recently stayed at Grafton Mill for 6 days, and can honestly say that we had such a wonderful time. We had read past reviews where the ratings were very high, however, we took these with a pinch of salt as you see these places on the internet and think they are too good to be true. But after staying at the mill ourselves, we found that Grafton Mill was all of what those previous positive reviews said and more. Not only is the property filled with character, loving restoration and attention to detail, but the host Jane was truly delightful and the cherry on top. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful say, and it was very clear from the start that the mill is her passion. There is plenty to do, from shopping in Worcester, to going and spending time at Webb's garden centre (one of, if not the biggest garden centre in the country). But if you fancy a quiet day in, there are wonderful grounds at the mill to explore, including a heated outdoor seating area over looking the brook where you can feed some very excitable geese. We wish to thank both Jane and Allan for making our time at the Mill so rememberable, and we hope to visit again.
