What a find! Fantastic renovation of the mill, with everything you could need. The grounds are superb and great to walk around and see the ducks and geese. Allan and Jane have really put their heart into the renovations, they are on hand but but not intrusive, a lovely couple who’ve made this a treat for all

We have just spent a week relaxing at this beautiful place. Allan and Jane were very welcoming and it quickly felt like we were visiting friends! They were on hand if needed but were very respectful of our privacy. We enjoyed our chats with them whenever we saw each other outside. We enjoyed spending time in the gazebo that Allan built during the pandemic for the private use of guests. It was such a beautiful place to sit and watch the ducks and geese. We were lucky enough to witness ducklings fledging the nest the mum had built in the ivy at the side of the building. It made me jump at first seeing them leap about 30 feet and land right next to me! The holiday home and grounds are immaculate and it's obvious they are both grafters and love what they do. There are plenty of pubs, farm shops and lots of attractions nearby. Perfect place to take a break from life and enjoy nature. Batteries recharged!

This “cottage” is a water mill, lovingly renovated by the owners. On arrival, we were greeted by the owners, who briefly explained all there was to know about our accommodation for the week. The mill has everything that you need, including a lovely welcome pack. The resident ducks greeted us every morning, hoping for some bread . The location is just outside Worcester, and is very close to the Cotswolds. I would not recommend for families with young children, as the stairs are quite steep and there is a lot of open water. We would highly recommend this holiday let for families with older children or couples, looking for a quiet break The owners have built a new seating area for guest use only, as pre pandemic, guests would share their area, this was lovely, we collected an afternoon tea from the pub in the village on our day of arrival, it was lovely sitting outside, next to the mill pond in the sunshine

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.

Miss Erratt

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.

Miss Erratt, October 2020

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.

Mr Robson, September 2020

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.

Excellent hosts.. Couldn’t do enough for you. Amazing property with all essentials provided. Great welcome pack. Lovely part of the country.

Mr Burrill, August 2020

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.

GRAFTON MILL: Such a unique place to stay,first class accommodation and surroundings,the Ducklings were a delight to watch.. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay,enhanced by the best of Hosts,Jane and Allan. Just a pity about SYKES (the Company)most inefficient and uncontactible throughout the whole process.We will certainly not be using them again!

Mr Jones, July 2020

March 2020

The cottage was unique, beautiful and totally immaculate.. The cottage was very well equipped and included a lovely welcome hamper and birthday cake for my mum. In light of the coronavirus the owner pointed out she had sanitizer everything with extra care. The grounds were beautiful and allowed us to enjoy the outside space and wildlife with lovely seating, bird tables, nest boxes and hides. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back to this cottage.

Absolutely fabulous, feel so privileged to have stayed at this amazing Mill.. Alan and Jane are amazing and loved the conversations we had together. So sorry that we had to leave and felt very envious of the next people due to arrive. We have never been to Worcester but found,without exception, that the locals we met we friendly warm people. Really miss the entire experience and being woken up in the morning when Alan feeds the ducks and geese! Thank you both so much, will no doubt return one day when you have built the bridge Alan, David and Ann

Mr Bonney, October 2019

This is the best cottage holiday we have stayed in.. The Mill is beautiful and the grounds immaculate and stunning - we all enjoyed feeding the geese and ducks and spotting the deer in the woods. Jane and Allan are lovely and really went that extra mile to make sure our stay was perfect and are always there if you need anything. The extra surprises of the welcome hamper and the pumpkin and sweets for our boys on Halloween were very touching. The Mill is 5* - so comfortable and clean and smells fantastic with super views from the lounge windows of the river. We really enjoyed the surrounding area and there is loads to do in Worcester (Cathedral and tower, escape room experience at Cyber Q) and Stratford upon Avon, as well as National Trust properties such as Croome. There are lots of great local pubs serving delicious food - we particularly liked the Flyford. The countryside around Grafton Mill is a pretty and unspoilt part of the world and we saw lots of wildlife - woodpecker, peregrine falcon and buzzards to name a few... I very much hope we return.

This was our second visit and two days after arriving back home we have booked for 2020! I think that says it all; what a wonderful place and made so welcome by our hosts Allan and Jane whose friendly, generous and helpful attitude makes for a very comfortable stay. The setting is just perfect and it’s a wildlife haven, just love to see the family of deer visiting the grounds most days. Even if it rains the views from the windows are stunning. Lots of relaxing places to sit and just enjoy the atmosphere. Plenty of interesting places to visit nearby and within easy reach of the beautiful Stratford on Avon. Think we will always want to come back here, awards are well deserved.

We were greeted in such a lovely way and manner.. Jane and Allan made us feel as if we were family members returning after several years absence. The property was totally spotless and very comfortable. Grafton Mill is such a beautiful property. The cogs and rotating wheel really enhances the property. (The wheel moves silently). The grounds are bigger than expected and kept to such a high standard. I would thoroughly recommend Grafton Mill. My wife and I have been using Sykes for years now and Grafton Mill is our number 1.

It was my Mums 80th when we went and not only did they leave a hamper of milk, bread, tea, coffee & eggs but also a box of chocolates, a bunch of flowers, a bottle of presseco and balloons! What a wonderful gesture.

Miss Clark, October 2018

September 2018

The Mill is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay.. The grounds were an unexpected bonus with the swans, geese, ducks and birds a constant delight - being able to walk around the 9 acres every day made the holiday very special. Inside the Mill is everything anybody would need for a holiday and the attention to detail is evident everywhere with lots of special little touches including a welcome pack with a homemade cake! The location is great, very easy to find with lots of places to visit and explore.

Mrs Hibbs, September 2018

August 2018

Grafton Mill is a most wonderful place to stay.. The owners Allan and Jane are so very welcoming and very friendly, nothing is too much trouble. We received an extremely generous welcome hamper and were absolutely amazed when we saw the beautiful surroundings in which this property sits, it literally took our breath away! The Mill itself is clean and very well equipped with beautiful views from all of the windows. We fed the Swans,, Ducks and Geese everyday and a small family of deer appeared in the grounds several times. We didn’t see the otter, but apparently he’s there. A lovely summer house and lots of sitting places to spot the variety of Birds, our favourite the Kingfisher spotted several times. We have already booked for next year and we only arrived home yesterday, that says it all!

Mrs Glynn, August 2018

July 2018

Quite simply - this holiday cottage is SUPERB! The working water mill has been lovingly restored over a number of years by the owners, Alan and Jane, and is furnished to a very high standard. The grounds, with lakes, bridges and well manicured gardens were an absolute delight to relax and enjoy, with immediate access to public footpaths over the pleasant Worcestershire countryside. The ground floor kitchen contained everything you may need for a cottage holiday - nothing had been forgotten; whilst the 'welcome pack' provided by Jane was exceptionally generous. The working water wheel, part of which had been incorporated within the kitchen was a feat of Alan's engineering skills; cleverly encased in toughened glass to nullify any sound. The grounds were a magnate for wildlife, with swans, ducks, geese, deer and kingfishers being regular visitors. Worcester and Pershore are within a few minutes drive; whilst The Mill is well located for touring both the Cotswolds and Malvern Hills. We highly recommend The Mill as an exceptional property and were very pleased to note that Sykes Cottages had presented a special award to the owners recognising the overall excellence of this unique holiday property,

Mr Nuttall, July 2018

June 2018

Fabulous house with fantastic hosts.. The location is so tranquil . The house is set in 9 acres of well kept grounds surrounded with an abundance of wildlife. On our visit we watched wild deer grazing amongst the trees and an otter in the river. Within easy reach of Worcester , Stratford upon Avon and villages in the Cotswolds. A must visit. We will certainly return.

Mr Knisz, June 2018

A lot of thought and work has gone into renovating the watermill and grounds, which are extensive, with lots of ducks, geese and wildlife.. The property is extremely comfortable with everything possible to make your holiday a success. Jane and Allan, the owners who live within the grounds, are lovely people and very welcoming. Lots of interesting places to visit locally.

Mr Bowen, June 2018

May 2018

This was by far the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in, you only have to read the visitors feedback.. Not one fault or complaint. The attention to detail and the friendliness of the owners cannot be over stated We would like to thank Alan and Jane for a fabulous Time and hope to return some day

Mr Mander, May 2018

April 2018

Mr Whitehead, April 2018

March 2018

Superb accommodation.. The Mill was decorated to the highest standards. Spotlessly clean and well cared for. The internal design and furnishings were 5 star. Kitchen was high spec with everything provided. The pond alongside and local wildlife all added to make this a high quality cottage.

Mr Phillips, March 2018

January 2018

We have stayed in several cottages over the past few years and this was definitely one of the best.. It has been beautifully restored by the owners Jane and Alan who were lovely hosts. The house was very comfortable and very well equipped and there was a lovely welcoming pack awaiting us.We would definitely recommend this cottage and we hope to return again.

Mrs Thomas, January 2018

November 2017

If one of the questions was what did you dislike then I would have great difficulty finding anything resembling a dislike.. It was that good. The Hosts were delightful and caring. The property and extensive grounds were immaculate and all done with careful thought and taste. The location is ideal with you being able to see so much within 20 miles travelling. If you are a National Trust member then you have so much to choose from again in close proximity. If you have a smartphone ensure you load the NT app. We will certainly be revisiting next year. You will not be disappointed booking this property.

Mr Parry, November 2017

Fantastic location and owners! Property is cosy and perfect for couples and families, very relaxing. Easy to find as well.

Mr Daines, November 2017

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!

Mr Dunstan, February 2017

We spent a week at Grafton Mill over the Christmas 2016 period and it was quite magical.. The property is set over three stories, we used the main bedroom for two of us and there was a twin spare room that we used as a walk in wardrobe but could have slept two more, and a bathroom with a cracking shower. The middle floor has a study with a lovely desk and an amply sized living room with a big TV. Downstairs is a large kitchen with all mod cons and a working part of the mill, as well as another TV. In terms of comfort, the central heating and hot water were perfect, it was a cold snap in UK and we were never cold (and we're from Africa), the shower belted out the water and there were plenty of towels to dry off with. From every room there are views over the duck pond and grounds which gives a feeling of the country life and a real serenity, though we were only 6 miles away from family and friends in Worcester; we also made shopping trips to Cheltenham which was less than half an hour away, train trips to London and Liverpool from Pershore station less than ten minutes away, a really handy location for us. All in all the property and location were a real hit with us and I'd have no qualms in highly recommending a stay here.

Mr Statham, December 2016

October 2016

Grafton Mill is one of the nicest properties that my partner and I have ever stayed in.. The warm welcome on arrival by the owners made us feel at home the minute we arrived. This welcome continued through the week and made the holiday special. The Mill it's self has been refurbished to a very high standard of comfort and decoration. Nothing has been forgotten in the way of kitchen utensils, crockery, or linen. The grounds have been beautifully laid out having had the benefit of the owners continued hard work to keep everything in pristine condition from the lawns to the duck nesting boxes. A truly memorable place to stay. I am frightened to say to much more in case the Mill becomes so popular I won't be able to find a slot to re-book next year.
