It's the ideal choice for friends-and-family get-togethers with its fantastically proportioned rooms to accommodate up to eight guests for a waterside stay away. Islip Mill House and attached Mill date back from the middle of the 18th Century. The property has evolved over time to present a comfortable and versatile family setting with plenty of character. Enjoy the beautiful riverside gardens overlooking the mill stream where Kingfishers, swans and even an otter can frequently be spotted on the river. The accommodation is set over two floors, with four king-size bedrooms. Many of the rooms enjoy a river or garden view and those that do not, enjoy views over the neighboring countryside. The ground floor is entered via the kitchen, boasting an impressive oil-fired Aga to cook up a storm in the winter evenings, in addition to everything else you should need in this fully equipped kitchen. The Aga is turned off in the warmer months. An arch opens to lead through to the breakfast room, where you can enjoy family dining with dual aspect garden and river views. Fancy a meal out? The nearby Woolpack Inn just 400 yards away is a welcoming pub offering great food and drink. Unwind next to the cozy fireplace through to the dining area for a relaxed eating experience for you and your guests. The living room lies adjacent and has a window overlooking the river and mill, with an inviting fireplace and French doors opening to the riverside terrace. The family/den room, with a bay window overlooking the front yard enjoys plenty of light and electric fire to make cozy on those chilly evenings. An additional fridge freezer is available in the sunroom also. Guests will also have access to the trunk room and a downstairs bathroom. The stairs from the dining room lead to the second floor of the house. Guests have access to four bedrooms, one with a full bathroom (including an amusingly quirky alcove bathtub).

It was ideal for this, great, peaceful location with an easy walk into the nearby town to get our Christmas provisions. The kitchen was equipped well enough to produce a great Christmas dinner. Julian was a great host who couldn’t do enough for us, which included putting up a Christmas tree for us. With the extra highlight of us spotting a kingfisher on the other side of the river we really enjoyed our Christmas in the UK! ##### Tim This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia 12 Oct 2024 #### We had a wonderful stay at this charming house. Despite the water left after the recent flooding, it didn’t take away from the beauty and charm of the place. The house itself is a gem, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The generous welcome gift, including cava, fruits, and a well-stocked fridge, was a lovely touch. Julian is an excellent host, attentive and thoughtful. We hope the water recedes soon and the place returns to its full beauty. We would love to return in the future! ##### Claudia This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela 21 Apr 2024 #### We stayed at the mill for family birthday. Our grandparents lived in and worked the mill u til the early 1960s so was a nostalgic trip for us. Host was very welcoming and shared his stories and gave us a tour of his property too. We had a gathering in the evening there is everything you need to entertain. Was warm and quirmy decor. All good nothing negative! ##### Angela This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Elaine 24 Nov 2024 #### Really lovely period property in a lovely setting, great for a short family stay. An absolutely fantastic location and a really historical property. Lots of creaky and wonky floorboards! Lovely furniture throughout. I would not class the beds as large king size, one was but the other three were doubles! Could have done with the hairs being removed from plug holes upstairs. Well equipped kitchen, two living rooms, two dining areas. Stock in the kitchen so able to wash up, used the dishwasher which was helpful. Hoovered through when leaving as lots of leaves everywhere, also was scared of extra charge :-( Really lovely property, would recommend. Don't look for spiders! Plenty of parking for numerous cars. ##### Elaine This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian 15 Sept 2025 #### Great place for a weekend away with friends Great place for a weekend away with friends. The dogs loved the massive lawn too! ##### Adrian This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### EMMA 16 Jul 2025 #### Sister’s group stay Lovely property with lots of character, the drive into the property is beautiful.

The host kindly left bread, eggs, bacon, fruit and non alcoholic fizz (thank you very much!). The house is gorgeous with everything you could possibly need. It was so peaceful sitting on the patio by the water in the morning with a cup of coffee. Fantastic walks close by around the countryside and lakes. The local pub was lovely and within walking distance (20-30 mins) offering a variety of meals. None of us wanted to leave. Would highly recommend. ##### Clare This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Virginia 10 Jul 2023 #### A super stay We loved the location of this waterside house. So superbly quiet and private with plenty of outdoor and indoor social spaces. We'd have loved a bigger fridge as we were a group of 8 and had planned to eat in over our stay. That needs quite a lot of fridge space! A downstairs loo would have been great though we recognise that with the internal layout this was not easy to provide. ##### Virginia ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information) ---
