About this property

Islip Mill House - Beautiful Riverside Home

Islip Mill House is a Grade II listed riverside retreat, beautifully nestled alongside the Nene River. 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). A large family bathroom with a large shower, toilet, and sink.



Parking is included for 8+ vehicles.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
