From the owner

The Mill House is a beautiful detached Georgian farmhouse situated in a quiet country lane. It has spectacular views across fields to the Downs and is a ten-minute walk from the sea at Brighstone Bay. Across the lane is a pleasant ten-minute walk beside the stream, which leads to the picturesque village of Brighstone with its village shops, family friendly pub, gift shop, library, children’s play park and cafes. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it is a marvellous nature watching, walking and cycling area and footpaths can be followed from The Mill House to join coastal and inland paths leading to nearby beaches, the Tennyson Trail and the Needles. The sandy bays of Compton, Totland and Colwell are a short drive away as are the small towns of Freshwater and Yarmouth offering a choice of restaurants and shops. Children of all ages are welcome, as are well behaved pets (by arrangement).

The Mill House has been renovated to a very high standard with many original features retained and has been awarded the VisitEngland five star and Gold awards since 2009. The Mill House was also awarded the VisitEngland ROSE Award 2022 in recognition of Service Excellence. The property is a comfortable, well equipped, spacious home from home for families/friends holidaying or celebrating a special occasion together. The house is centrally heated and has a combination of fitted carpets, rugs, stone and wooden floors and almost all the rooms have open rural views.

The property benefits from a beautiful handmade kitchen with AGA and accommodates up to 12 guests in four double rooms with king sized beds (one with four poster bed) and two twin rooms (one with full sized bunk beds and one ground floor bedroom with two single beds) with three bathrooms (one family bathroom with corner bath and shower cubicle, one bathroom with roll top bath and one downstairs bathroom with shower cubicle). There is an elegant sitting room with an open fireplace, grand piano, stereo system and comfortable seating and a snug sitting room with sofa, chairs and bean bags, a wood burning stove, Smart TV, DVD player (please bring your own DVDs) and a selection of family games, children’s toys and books. The dining room with views over the garden is furnished with solid oak furniture and also has a wood burning stove.

The Mill House is surrounded by large, private and enclosed gardens with mature shrubs, trees and large lawned areas. There is a patio area with garden furniture and a gas BBQ for guests’ use. There is ample parking to the rear of the property. A Hot Tub is available upon request between and including April and August.

Our changeover day is usually a Saturday arriving at 4 pm and departing by 10 am, however, outside the summer months, we are happy to accept short breaks and can be flexible with regards to arrival and departure. A Welcome pack is provided on arrival, there are hairdryers in every bedroom and Wifi is free of charge.

Both the snug and dining room also benefit from wood burning stoves which add extra warmth during the colder months.The kitchen is fitted with two tall fridge/freezers as well as an AGA, electric fan oven, ceramic hob and built in microwave and dishwasher with AutoDos system. A separate utility area houses a Miele washing machine and a tumble dryer with large sink and plenty of storage.

Owner's reply:
I’m so sorry to hear that TripAdvisor have not refunded your Booking Fee. I must point out to people reading this review that when the booking was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I refunded 100% of the booking deposit to the guest as I felt it was only right and proper to do so. The guests could not travel and the property was closed in line with Government lockdown restrictions. It’s the TripAdvisor Booking Fee that has not been refunded by TripAdvisor. I hope you receive a response from TripAdvisor very soon.
