About this property

Islip Mill House - Beautiful Riverside Home

  • Escape to a peaceful riverside retreat at beautiful Islip Mill House - a Grade II listed former mill set beside the River Nene, surrounded by over an acre of private gardens and abundant wildlife.



    Perfect for family gatherings, countryside escapes and dog-friendly stays, this unique home sleeps up to 8 guests across four king-size bedrooms, with spacious living areas designed for relaxing together.



    Wake up to kingfishers on the river, spot deer grazing nearby, watch badgers at dusk, or — if you're lucky — catch sight of the resident otter along the mill stream. Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the charming village of Islip is just a scenic one-mile walk away.



    Inside, the house blends historic character with cosy comfort. The farmhouse kitchen features a traditional Aga for winter evenings, while the drawing room opens onto a riverside terrace perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks by the water. Multiple reception rooms mean there's plenty of space for everyone to unwind.

A wonderful old house, full of creaky floors, strange collectibles, and character in every room

A wonderful old house, full of creaky floors, strange collectibles, and character in every room. The location next to the River Nene and walking trails was beautiful. And the huge, trimmed lawn area was a huge hit with the children who played cricket and soccer. And best of all - the resident Swans, Moorhen, and BADGERS!

Islip Mill House - What a place.

The location was outstanding and the house was quirky, spacious and perfect for our stay. Everything was provided and the host was friendly and checked on us. Fantastic garden and grounds with lots of wildlife and space for grandchildren to play. Quiet and relaxing. Would love to visit again.

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!

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!

Went for a family Christmas in the UK from The Netherlands.

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!

I arranged the weekend for my mother’s 85th birthday celebrations

I arranged the weekend for my mother’s 85th birthday celebrations. She has not been well lately and we wanted somewhere nice and comfortable for her and for all of us to enjoy. My brother and his wife joined us so together with my husband and our two teenage children. Islip mill house the perfect place . The house and gardens and all the surroundings were absolutely beautiful. We found the house so welcoming. Every effort had been made to make us feel at home and we certainly appreciated the amazing goodies left for us to enjoy. We all loved the house and the many interesting and quirky items arranged throughout the house.Everyone would find their favourite such as the mechanical toys in the cupboard. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable . All the amenities were in first class condition . All the family agreed that the accommodation was perfect and we all would like to thank the owners for making the stay just as perfect.

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.

Absolutely beautiful in stunning surroundings

Upon arrival we felt at home. 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.

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.
