Does anybody have an experience of getting a long stay visa from UK side of things for being married to a EU national
They come visit you at home
But ultimately up to the British consulate
If so could you please post šbest
What do you mean? Are you saying you are already married to an EU Passport holder ?
What are the circumstances of your question?
Yes Iām married to an EU national with a EU passport
I just have a British one
I asked a company who deal with the Spanish consulate if I could get an extended visa so not the 90 day rule
Does anybody have experience in this
Hope Iāve made myself clear

Ok. Let's see if I am understanding this correctly. If you are simply asking if you go and travel ad-hoc in Europe for longer than 90 days because your wife is European then the answer is no.
I presume she is "settled" in the UK as your wife and therefore has Residency.
If you are planning on living in Spain/Europe then you have other straight forward options.
You also presumed wrongly that it was a woman š¤£

Does it matter? It doesn't change the advice.

There is no visa that allows a UK passport holder longer than 90 days in the Schengen area as a tourist; an exception to this rule is France, which offers a long-stay visa class for those people who are not residents but who own property in France.
There is no equivalent visa in Spain.
Being married to an EU Citizen, you would be able to get Residencia in Spain as family member of an EU Citizen, but Residencia carryās certain restrictions, like you must spend at least 183 days a year in Spain for it to remain valid and that makes you automatically tax resident.
It is a pathway to permanent residency, and not a long-stay tourist visa.
Again, with the exception of the particular visa class in France, there is no long stay tourist visa that allows a UK passport holder (even married to an EU Citizen) longer than 90 days in 180 in the Schengen.

I was under the impression that this was proposed legislation in France but was dismissed as in breach of Schengen rules by Franceās constitutional court.

As was I, but I have seen another poster on this forum talking about friends who own property in France getting an extended stay visa

It is correct Dario . My old next door neighbours own a property near Bergerac in southern France . She is a German lady and he is Indian both have dual passports uk , German and Indian in their respective cases . He has to go to the French embassy in London to get an extended visa . They left Sunday for 6/7 months stay in France .
