Lorraine was lovely and catered to all our needs. We will be definitely be booking to stay again. ☺️

  The mill is a characterful place to stay. The outdoor space was lovely, a long garden along the river to the stove heated hot tub and campfire area. Inside the... read more mill accommodation is spread over three floors, and while it is light upstairs, the main floor and downstairs is a bit dark. Lights were on during the day, though we had great weather so were outside much of the time. Lorraine was great, very helpful and communicative and Arjun, who built the fires to heat the hot tub and sauna, was a star. The sound of the burn was heavenly. A beautiful part of the world and an interesting place to stay. We had a great time.

  Lovely place to stay with lots of activities available onsite and nearby! Host was always on hand and helpful.

  Nothing I can write in this review is ever going to match the actual place and space! The photos look great, the reality is so much better!

The... read more mill has a unique character that welcomes you and instantly makes you feel at home. The location is nothing short of incredible - the river, the sweet donkeys, the drop-dead gorgeous night sky, the peace! It is everything we hoped for and more! And Lorraine is everything you would ever hope for in a host - kind, conscientious, extremely helpful and communicative - an absolute pleasure to speak with 🙂

Thank you so much for the perfectly wonderful and memorable Christmas stay 🙂

  Had a great few days at The Hidden Mill. Beautiful accommodation in a great setting. House has everything you need to have a great stay.
Very friendly and welcoming... read more hosts.
Got lucky and had a couple of nights with a clear sky for stargazing........such an awesome sight.
Hot tub was also a wonderful chill out way to end your day.
Will hopefully be back.

  Lovely stay!

  Had a great weekend away at the mill beautiful scenery, lovely hottub and would definitely recommend for anyone interested

  Place was lovely with beautiful scenery. Very responsive host who provided easy to follow instructions to make getting there much simpler than following a satnav.

  An amazing cosy, homely mill cottage that has been beautifully done with lots of space! We all enjoyed the hot tub located in the garden next to a river and... read more the trees were turning making it extra pretty! Everything and more you could want for a stay was provided and everyone we met was very friendly and helpful 🙂 We all really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back sometime! Thankyou again 😄

  We had a great weekend at the Hidden Mill. Wonderful old building with lots of character, and a great base for exploring the surrounding area. We visited as a wild... read more swimming group and there were loads of great swim spots nearby. The hot tub was particularly appreciated to warm up afterwards. We'll certainly be back for another visit soon.

  Lovely place with great hosts. The mill kept a lot warmer than I was expecting. The sky at night is beautiful. Loads of lovely walking spots in the surrounding area.

  Lorraine and Ulla made our stay just wonderful. We were 13 university students in the house and they left us to our own devices, but we're willing to help and... read more set up the bath and sauna for us at just a few minutes notice, which was very helpful! The sauna is great, and homemade! The only difficult thing for us was finding transport in Sunday so a few of the girls could get back in time for 2:00 labs. Thankfully after much stress about clashing bus times, Ulla agreed to drive them to Dumfries! We were extremely grateful and payed him for his efforts. I would also mention that although sauna costs a bit of money for wood and initial set up, we found it to be more than worth the experience. Finally, I highly advise exploring the pine wood forest down the road. We went twice!

  I'd read it on reviews before staying but the mill truly is a magical place. It's set in a gorgeous, peaceful location in stunning grounds. We didn't leave the whole... read more time we stayed there and had plenty to do. Highly recommend the hot tub and the woodland sauna. Take a lantern or torch for the sauna! The starry night sky is beautiful too.
The garden was a great spot for the circus skills; lots of fun for grown ups as well as kids.
The mill itself is rustic and charming. It's a huge space - easily absorbs people. There were 8 of us and we didn't even use one of the living rooms except for the sofa bed.
Two or three nights isn't enough time to enjoy the mill. I'd happily stay there again and for a whole week.

  Beautiful property and lovely garden, sauna experience was very relaxing. Very tranquil

  We spent four memorable days at The Hidden Mill. It's such a fantastic secluded, peaceful and beautiful location. Not only that, the place itself is fantastic too. If you... read more want a family get-together with a difference we would highly recommend this place.

  Absolutely fantastic place to stay.

The Mill is absolutely stunning - the photos don’t do it justice at all. It is beautifully put together with a well equipped... read more kitchen, smart decor and so many interesting bits and pieces to give interest. There was such care and consideration given to making sure all needs were catered for from the toys and books to the extensive CD and DVD collection.

The grounds are breathtaking and it would be easy to go nowhere else. We were very well looked after and enjoyed the sauna, hot tub and a campfire.

This is the perfect place for a family to find peace and reset. Walking up to the birds and the sounds of the waterfall was like a detox. We petted donkeys, saw bee hives, looked for fish and paddled in the water.

Our children are already planning a further stay.

Exceptional value for money and just beautiful.

Thank you Lorraine and the wonderful Arjun for looking after us so well.

  Great and quirky spot. Hot tub next to river is well worth the extra 👌

  Fantastic accommodation and perfect location to get away from the city. Very welcoming and Great hosts, already looking forward to coming back!

  The mill was perfect for a quiet, long weekend away. It was spacious and had everything we needed whilst we were there. I would recommend getting the hot tub and... read more loved that it was away from the main building. The location was great for travelling to local beaches, with these being a short drive away. The mill was clean and tidy and catered for a large group with many different rooms. We loved the quirkiness of the mill and had an amazing time there! The value for money was unbelievable compared to other properties we had looked at. We will definitely be trying to visit again!

  This was such an amazing stay. A beautiful building conversion, huge wood fireplace, a lovely garden with river and waterfall at our doorstep, and an outside wood fire hot tub... read more 🙂
Host was super helpful and lovely, and made sure our stay was perfect.

  We had a great time on our stay - lots of lovely walks nearby. Wigtown was our favourite - we spent the day there looking through bookshops and drinking coffee.... read more Would suggest double checking all amenities are available before booking - hot tub is currently broken however a new one is on its way so hopefully this will be rectified soon. Lorraine was a very communicative host and gave us great tips for things to do around the area.

  We had a great time at the mill. Outstandingly beautiful place and we would love to arrange another visit. Lorraine is a great host and very helpful and friendly.

  I chose this place for my birthday with friends because the pictures looked so good. It turns out the pictures dont do this place justice, it's a truly amazing place... read more both inside and out. It is really cosy as well which was surprising being such an old building. Will definitely return in the future, and Lorraine and Ula were wonderful hosts.

  The Hidden Mill is absolutely amazing! The accommodation was gorgeous and was in the most beautiful grounds. Lorraine and the family were welcoming and super helpful. The weeks highlight for... read more us was definitely the wildlife though. Getting to meet Jackson and Heather the donkeys and being able to see the bats flying around at dusk. Just magical. As a family we tend to look for a different place to stay each time we go away, but we were so impressed and delighted with our stay that we will definitely be returning! Massive thank you to the hosts!

  Fantastic, enormous, quirky house in lovely grounds.

My second time there and hopefully not my last

  Great accommodation. Was a little cold the first night but heated up after that. None of us are that good with the fire but dad got it going, old camper!... read more

Gorgeous grounds, fantastic for kids and lots of games to keep them occupied too. Dogs also loved the grounds.

You need to take all your recycling away with you which was tough with very full cars. Happy to recycle but I’d have preferred being able to leave the split recycling there.

Hot tub was something a little different. Great service to get it pre-lit though, so I’d recommend.

The nearest villages for shopping are a little distance away so I’d recommend trying to get everything you needed. All takeaways etc are in castle Douglas, so again, come prepared with all your food.

Host was great and very responsive so we were well prepared and knew everything we needed to know before arriving. Thanks again.

  This is a very special place with very special hosts. so much to explore and enjoy, tons of character and space and the perfect place for spending time reconnecting with... read more family or friends (without the distraction of wifi!) Both the hot tub and sauna are amazing. Would also highly recommend Jenny's circus skills class, we have not laughed so much in years, absolutely brilliant!

  What an incredible location! We weathered the storms in this lovely old watermill. The space inside is huge! We were only 3 adults staying, plus our dog, so everything felt... read more very spacious. The beds were so comfy. We didn't really use the downstairs lounge - it was a bit too big for us, but would make a great party space. We settled in the upstairs lounge with the TV and some of the DVDs that were supplied. The waterfall and grounds were incredible - especially after the storms! Just be sure to be careful if you have young children running around.

  We had such an amazing stay at the mill celebrating a 30th birthday! The accommodation was sparkling clean and very unique. We will be back

  Amazing location and good place to stay. Lorraine and her family were really helpful and always very friendly. The house was a bit cool when we arrived but, especially with... read more the fire in the downstairs lounge, it soon warmed up.
