    We had a very enjoyable stay and Jane provided a lovely hamper including a homemade cake. It was my birthday during my visit and Jane and Allan made that special with balloons and a beautiful card (which was a lovely surprise) and wished me a Happy Birthday. The Mill was interesting to stay in and had lots of extra touches that made our stay comfortable.

    the mill is a great credit to them both for the time and effort that they have put in to making it a wonderful place to stay. The welcome hamper was fabulous and the homemade cake a real treat. A great find and a place we would highly recommend to others. There is plenty of places locally to eat . The British car museum is a must for car enthusiasts or just to reminisce of the cars you had!

    We Remained at the property for the first 5 days.. relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of the place. .. then went exploring the Cotswolds and surrounding area for the final 2 days. The thing we loved the most was the peace and quiet as well as the freedom to explore the grounds and stay active. There were benches and seating throughout the grounds which was perfect for reflection time and being at one with nature. The sound of the water wheel and the fountain in the courtyard added to the serenity. The fruit trees were ripe and ready to eat and we were invited to help ourselves to the grapes from the greenhouse .. Thank you so much. This place is perfect for ‘time out’.. to recharge your batteries.

  • "We had a wonderful holiday at Grafton Mill It is such a lovely property in such a beautiful setting that we had to force ourselves to go out and explore the local area and always looked forward to coming "home"."

    We did enjoy visits to Worcester, Stratford and Broadway and several National Trust properties including Packwood House and Baddesley Clinton (which are conveniently close together). We also had many indulgent lunches in local pubs, with Arrow Mill at Arrow and Chequers at Cutnall Green being favourites. The property itself is very spacious and comfortable, tastefully furnished and very well equipped, with obviously a lot of thought gone into guests comfort and enjoyment by the owners, including a very generous welcome hamper with Jane’s mum’s wonderful home made cake. The stunning outside space also exceeded expectations.and we were happy to spend hours just wandering around the extensive gardens and sitting in the private pergola right next to the water watching the geese. The conversion of Grafton Mill into a fabulous holiday home has clearly been a labour of love by Jane and Allan, who are the most warm and lovely hosts. A truly memorable experience.

From the fabulous welcome hamper to the hosts kindly sending back a forgotten book - the comfy beds, pillows and sheets to the cosy lounge, every last detail had been thoughtfully considered. Grafton Mill is like a park in itself with lots of wildlife to see, and we could feed the geese and relax by the water and walk through the beautiful woodland.

  • "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.

  • "First off this is no ordinary holiday cottage."

    It was a working watermill in its day that like so many had fallen into disrepair over the years. The owners bought it and have over the years since lovingly restored it to its former glory. It is a unique heritage building and to stay in it was an absolute delight. The waterwheel has been repaired and re-instated and is once again turning, powered by the brook. You can see the pit wheel turning in the kitchen which is fascinating to watch, almost hypnotic. The mill accomodation sits on the brook naturally with the mill pond in front. There are gardens all around to explore which again are delighful and there is a lovely protected gazebo to sit in and enjoy a drink overlooking the mill pond. Jane and Allan are exceptional hosts and it is clear that they have strived very hard to achieve the high level of comfort and specification which is evident in even the smallest of details. A friendly greeting upon arrival, a generous welcome pack and always on hand should we need any help, local information etc. The impression is Jane and Allan both want to make your stay as pleasant and memorable as possible. It is not hard to see why they have received national recognition as one of the top places to stay in the UK! As a location it is situated perfectly for lots of heritage places to visit especially National Trust, and we certainly got full use of our membership. Local towns like Pershore, Evesham, Worcester and Stratford only a stones throw away. Trouble is one week is simply just not enough time to see and do everything which of course means only one thing, a return visit. Just to sum it up this has to be one of the best places we have ever stayed and we have stayed in a lot over the years.

    The nice vases of fresh flowers around the Mill and out on the newly built patio and gazebo area. The mill is in a wonderful position, near to the M5, and to the Cotswolds. I wouldn’t recommend for families with very small children, due to the open water of the mill pond. Also, due to the steep stairs to the two upper floors, anyone with any mobility problems would struggle.

  • "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.

    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.

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 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.

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.
