Loved staying at the French Mill. The Romany Wagon was definitely an added bonus for the girls. It gave them a truly magical and memorable experience. Ideally located and charming holiday rental property for visiting the island. Only sorry not to have been able to actually meet our host Rebecca who was very communicative and helpful before and during our stay.. we were also pretty fortunate with the weather. Hope to come back one day âŠ
Stunning property & grounds with a beautiful stream & gardens galore. Historic grain mill turned into an adorable cottage with all the amenities. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others. Especially fabulous for families, our boys adored staying in the Romany Wagon! We were fortunate to meet the owners, Rebecca & Guy, who are lovely hosts. Very close to both the ferry port & sights we visited.
Me and my wife just enjoyed a mini break to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary, along with our two toddlers and little dog. We had a wonderful weekend and wished we could stay a bit longer! The Granary is in an ideal location to relax and unwind and a short drive away from the beach and other activities. We will almost certainly be aiming to return in 2026!
My family and I stayed at the French Mill Granary for 3 nights. We really enjoyed it. Our teenage daughter slept in the gypsy caravan which she loved. The garden was fabulous (our dog loved to run and discover various parts) and the swing was a hit. Everyone was very helpful giving us ideas about the places we could visit. We really enjoyed the Isle of Wight and staying at the the Granary which is in a very good location to travel around. Thank you
What a lovely place to stay - the children loved staying in the wagon and I loved the peace of the mill! Thank you for everything. A lovely welcome, lots of interesting hints of things to visit, and a perfect location.
Thank you!
Ruth, Ellen and Annie.
Its a much bigger property plot than i imagined from the description , lush and green with a delightful stream on the property, rope swing, huge firepit,gigantic trampoline and a gypsy wagon - all these made both adults and kids equally happy. I heard so many genuinely giggles and "wow" that made my mother's heart extremely happy.
It's got games, books, fully equipped kitchen if you are into cooking and to be honest is more than enough things to do there without the need to even leave the property as such.
Plenty of things to do around within walling distance and short driving distance.
The owner is super helful too!
Note to self no 1: to read the description better and all the way to the bottom as bedding /towels wasn't included into shorter stays ( the owner advised where to purchase cheap ones as we didn't bring any)
Note to self No 2: Though yes 4 ppl can sleep there in fact id say even 7 in summer time , there's no separate bedroom. All thr sleeping arrangements are in the lounge. Having said that ,in our case the parents slept in the gypsy wagon while the child and grandparent in the main house. If the child was a bit older or it was couple of them, or it was warmer, im sure we'd be fighting for that gypsy wagon sleeping arrangements:)
Overall,fabulous stay, all of us, including the pet, returned home fully recharged, thank you!
The Granary is quirky and very comfortable, equipped with everything you need for a self catering stay. The garden is just wonderful and the real highlight of our stay. Rebecca is a five star host and we canât recommend her property highly enough. With a car or bicycles, itâs in an ideal location for exploring the island. Without, the buses are frequent, convenient and inexpensive.
The Granary was ideal for our use. Everything we needed was there and our small dog (Chihuahua - Snoopy) was delighted with the garden! We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had been there for long. Sorry not to meet Rebecca - next time!
Our second stay at this beautiful property and we have already booked for next year. We love staying here the property and grounds are beautiful and peaceful and in a very convenient location.
A beautiful relaxing place to stay. The granary+caravan were amazing and so pretty. Rebecca made us very welcome. Would definitely recommend and return..
The place is like a literal fairy tale. There is a stream in the backyard with a tiny little boat house for children to play with. Flowers all over the place, and you step into a literal forest from the back of the house. It is stunning and unspeakably peaceful. Rebecca is a lovely host she was always available, even gave us a jar of home made jam as a gift to take with us. It was a perfect holiday, we made so many memories on the island, I can't recommend enough. We are hoping to return in the future.
I liked it. The romany caravan in the grounds was lovely and the property itself was very nice. The check in was easy. There is a long and interesting garden. It was easy to reach everywhere on the island.
The landlady have great communication skill. The property is set on a peaceful and beautiful ground. Had a great time at the cottage escaping the city hussle and bustle.
The Granary is very sweet and very nicely fitted out. Perfectly suited for either a short break or a young family perhaps. It is set in lovely grounds which when I was there were full of daffodils. I have two small gripes: the mattress made my back ache it was so hard and the internet was definitely dodgy on the first night but then work very well afterwards
Lovely and cosy with double glazing. Couldn`t hear the main road or the incredible winds we experienced when we were there. A lovely run in the garden for Chief who enjoyed it there.
IOW people, as polite as ever and the island was so dog friendly, there was nowhere we wern`t accepted. Perfect! Lovely hosts that were as efficient and friendly as possible. Thank you Rebecca and Guy
Rebecca and Guy are wonderful hosts who made sure we felt at home throughout our stay at the cottage. We particularly enjoyed exploring their extensive grounds by the river.
