A lovely place, in fabulous surroundings and Lorraine and her family were super-friendly and helpful.

The mill has plenty of space and has everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The location is great to get away from it all, but there is plenty to do locally.

We paid extra for the wood-fired hot tub, which was well worth it.

Would definitely return and recommend to friends.

  This place is truly a gem! We were a group 9 adults and everyone was beyond pleased with the hospitality, cleanliness, location, and the house itself. The advanced planning by Lorraine and her partner made our everything go flawlessly. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and hope to be back in the future!

  This place is incredible. The pictures don't do it justice - the location was fantastic and the house had character and charm. As well as using the hot tub (which was great), there was a trampoline for the kids. They loved exploring, visiting the donkeys and pigs and playing hide and seek in the woods. Very child friendly! Would definitely come back again and spend more time exploring the surroundings and relaxing in this off the beaten track place. Thank you Lorraine!

  What a lovely week we had over new year! Couldn’t think of a nicer way to spend the new year, staying at the Mill was amazing from start to finish. Lovely area with amazing and friendly hosts. I would definitely book again in the future

  So much more amazing than the pictures could ever capture! This wonderful home is spacious and beautiful and more than we could've ever hoped for. Our family of 7+2 babies stayed for three nights and never ran out of things to do. The countryside walks, fire place in the basement for music, family meals in the dining room, sitting outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and so much more. We can't thank Lorraine enough for sharing their beautiful home... Thank you so, so much and we would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a wonderful home and magical experience!

  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 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!

  Amazing location....the stream running past the house was beautiful and safe to explore if you wanted.
The hot tub next to the waterfalls was amazing.
Very rural, tranquil and the owners were lovely people and very helpful.
Don’t hesitate to book.

  Fantastic place. Wonderful location. Great value for money!

  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

  If you’re looking for a rustic far from the madding crowd stay, this place is perfect. Totally out in the countryside with a river and waterfall the setting is very picturesque. The mill house is beautiful very old and rustic with a log burner and a very olde worlde feel to it.
On arrival we were greeted by our very friendly host Lorraine and I got the feeling that if we asked nothing would be too much trouble.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the dark sky experience was something else!
Close by is loch Ken...9 miles long and beautiful and the small town of Castle Douglas a beautiful gem with lots of unusual shops and great stock.
On the whole a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
Thanks Lorraine

  My friends and I visited mid march and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The area is beautiful, the house fantastic and the hot tub excellent! Fully recommend, Lorraine was a amazing host, quick response and super helpful tips.
We will be back!

  Amazing location! Really gorgeous surroundings and loads of space inside too. Great place to enjoy the great outdoors and anchor point to explore from

  A lovely property and home. Hottub is excellent

  Fabulous location with great river running alongside steep terraced riverside garden. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna and cooling off in the river. It was a truly get away from it all experience and lovely hosts. Nearby is Loch Ken for swimming and water sports and mountain biking and walking in the Galloway Forest Park. You’ll love it if you’re laid back, like adventuring or want to be inspired to live a creative greener lifestyle.

  Lovely location, the mall is very interesting with lots of history, beautiful gardens, dramatic water falls and a great hot tub

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the old mill. Fabulous setting by the river and waterfall. Hot tub was amazing. Enjoyed roasting marshmallows in the garden my the fire on the warm summer evenings and cosied up in front of the sitting room log burner during the rainy evenings watching DVDs. A wonderful time in a special place. Thank you Lorraine and Uula.

  We all had a great stay - location and house are both stunning!

  Fantastic place to stay. The night skies cannot be missed. Excellent host and beautiful location.

  Group of 9 adults had an amazing long weekend stay at Lorraine's mill.

House is beautifully decorated with a very well equipped kitchen.

The hot tub was fantastic, even in the freezing weather.

Lorraine was very easy to message and very helpful throughout our stay.

10/10 trip.

  Excellent location and incredible interesting rooms, a real quirky find.

  The mill is a very fun and unique space in an incredible location that provides lots of fun family walks and activities! My family and I stayed here and 9 of us slept at the mill comfortably - it’s a very fun space to stay in! The space is very tidy and provides clean bedding and towels and a well-stocked kitchen! The mill is perfect for a little country stay and break from busy cities!

  A group of 9 of us went to the mill for a surprise 30th I planned for my friend. It was awesome, such an amazing place with a great rustic feel! Lovely hosts! Would go again without a doubt! Would highly recommend, thanks again for having us!

  Lorraine and Ulu are the most welcoming and friendly family. The Mill is a very special place - loads of room for family get togethers. We had 6 adults staying over the long weekend plus 2 little kids and a Sunday lunch with an extra 4 people - we all fitted round the dining room table and everyone adored the place. The gardens are gorgeous, you are right beside a waterfall and the sauna - a little unusual is built and tended to by Ulu - a sauna native! Could have stayed in there all day! For a longer stay they gave the impression that we would be very welcome as part of their community - forest school sounds great! I hope we will make it back!

  This is a beautiful property, we had a really enjoyable family holiday here. The hot tub is great and the sauna was a real treat for all.

  The Mill was a great find for our family, there were 8 of us, 6 adults and 2 kids. Everyone loved the place. We BBQd on the first night, there is limited outdoor furniture but we’d noticed this from pics so took our own.

The grounds are great for exploring and pretty private.

The house was big enough for three couples and two kids not to be under each other’s feet.

The fridge was a standard fridge which for a weekends worth of food and drinks was a little small but we managed.

The two futons were also a little uncomfortable for those sleeping on them.

Overall we had a fab weekend in this amazing place and as long as you don’t mind the odd spider would definitely recommend it.

  Amazing house in an amazing spot! Couldn't have asked for anything more. Thoroughly recommended.

  Spacious house with lovely surroundings we had avery nice time, great value for money also would 100% recommend, thank you Lorraine.

  You can except a beautiful house, a warm welcome and some fun in the hot tub!

  The most amazing and beautiful place I have ever visited. Lorraine is the most accoadating and lovely lady I have ever met. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your amazing life so the time we were there. Can't wait to visit again 🙂

  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 the fire in the downstairs lounge, it soon warmed up.
