Needle & Grain: 17th-Century Charm. Curated for Comfort.
Welcome to Needle & Grain. Your Historic Warwickshire Retreat Needle & Grain is a character-filled, 17th-century mill annexe set within the peaceful grounds of our home, the historic Oversley Mill House. We have carefully curated the space to blend its original, historic features—such as the charming low beams—with the practical comforts of modern living. It is a private, authentic sanctuary designed for those looking to escape the everyday and enjoy a slower pace of life.
Why Stay With Us? What sets Needle & Grain apart is the balance between heritage and ease. While you are staying in a piece of 17th-century history, you’ll have everything you need to feel completely at home. Whether you are seeking a quiet weekend to unplug or a base to explore the region, we provide a clean, quiet, and personal experience that feels far more like a home than a generic holiday rental.
We look forward to welcoming you.
