Description

The Old Millhouse

The Old Millhouse exudes timeless charm, with its rich history seamlessly woven into every detail. A sensitive restoration project begun in 2012 carefully revitalized the original buildings, blending heritage elements with a fresh, contemporary design.

The bedrooms between the first and third floors are accessed via the principal staircase, offering a peaceful retreat. A selection of beautifully curated spaces on the ground floor invites guests to relax and unwind. The Orangery, bathed in natural light from windows on three sides, overlooks the meticulously landscaped gardens. At the same time, the grand oak dining table, seating up to ten, sets the scene for memorable meals. Sumptuous sofas and a remote-controlled modern fireplace create a cosy atmosphere for intimate gatherings.

The snug is tucked away in a tranquil corner of the house, an ideal space for private entertaining. Plush leather armchairs, soft lighting, and a well-appointed bar set the stage for whisky tastings, surrounded by beautiful textiles like Indian silks and intricate ornaments. The crackling log fire adds to the room's warm, inviting ambience, while the bright window seats offer garden views, the perfect spot to escape with a good book.

Set within 3.5 acres of private grounds, The Old Millhouse is an oasis of serenity. The carefully manicured gardens, lush woodlands, and the gentle sounds of the River Esk provide a peaceful haven for relaxation, creativity, and outdoor enjoyment. Whether you seek tranquillity or adventure, this stunning estate offers the perfect backdrop for both.

Magnificent

The stay at The Old Mill House was magnificent. It is a beautifully restored old mill as the name suggests, located in tranquil gardens. Our host Sally was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. It was the perfect location to explore southern Scotland the only problem being, you never wanted to leave the house. I still cant believe it was only a few keys.”

The Old Millhouse

What a great home! The Orangery was a beautiful and welcome room to relax at the end of a long day of exploring. Sally was a fantastic host with great recommendations and so friendly. The home is beautifully appointed and the grounds are private and quiet. The trips to Edinburgh were quick and painless. And exploring other parts of Scotland was easy from this location. If you get the chance, go!”
