  We had a great time!

Beautiful location and a stunning house.

  Had a great stay, the location was beautiful and provided the perfect location for a weekend away.

Communication before and on arrival was great, all questions were answered clearly. Would definitely return.

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

  Lovely mill house with beautiful features such as the log fire and watermill access downstairs. There was a large selection of games that we had a great time playing and... read more the surrounding area is beautiful for a walk.

  Great space, we had a lovely time here and will definitely consider returning again the the future! The hot tub was a great addition.

  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... read more 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

  Lovely stay, garden is great with the waterfall and river running through. Really liked the log fire in the house to relax by in the evenings. Nice areas nearby for... read more walks and not too far to travel into Castle Douglas for a choice of cafes/restaurants. Very relaxing place to get away from it all!

  My family all enjoyed thier stay. In fact, no one wanted to go home! If we could have extended our time there we would have.
The only difficulty was... read more finding the place. It is so far off the beaten track with no road names to follow.
However, once we found it it was eorth all the effort. The house and setting are beautiful and Loraine is a lovely host, very welcoming.

  Really nice and welcoming clean tidy lovely places

  Truly magical eco-retreat! We had a wonderful time in this very unique and characterful property. The sauna and hot tub were both perfect, even in December. Beds were very comfortable... read more and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need hosting a large group… Including cafetières,
board games, dvds, cds and more!

The only two things that I don’t think the listing mentions are:
- You need to take shoes off inside (plenty of slippers are provided!)
- You are asked to take recycling away with you to the local recycling centre

Neither of these things were a problem for us, but worth bearing in mind!

Hosts were very friendly and helpful but also gave us plenty of privacy and freedom to enjoy our stay without interruption! Definitely happy to recommend and would love to come back one day.

  Lorraine was very helpful in every way nothing was a hassle and the mill was a great place to stay

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

  A great, relaxing trip. Just what we needed for a few days away. The Mill building is interesting and quirky, the river running past adds real character and so peaceful... read more at night listening to it. Weather a bit too cold to try out the hot tub! Everyone was very friendly, our dogs felt quite at home and a really interesting setup. The surrounding country is stunning and so much to do in the area - coastal walks, hill walks, wildlife. Recommend a visit

  Bit of trouble with a water leak on our first night but the caretakers sorted it as quickly as they could and Lorraine refunded some of the price. Our 4th... read more time here - great location, great facilities.

  The Mill was a wonderful place to be. Lorraine was a great host, and let us know in great detail everything we needed to be briefed on.

If you're after a quiet getaway and a bit of country life, I couldn't recommend the Mill highly enough!

  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... read more 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.

  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 atmosphere and very welcoming. Would recommend!

  I celebrated my birthday with group of girlfriends and we couldn't ask for a better place for that occasion. The weather was amazing and we had great time using the... read more hot tub and chilling around the fire pit area. Moving into the house in the evening and using the fire pit room for the rest of the evening. House have lots of charm and history in it. Lorraine was very lovely and she did answer all our questions and we loved her personal touches in the house. We do recommend this stay a lot.

  A beautiful spot with many things to do, a very friendly and helpful host! Hot tub was amazing, we loved the location, great for walks and sky gazing.
The... read more road near the mill has a bit pot in it - be careful!
The glass recycling also needs to be taken with you!
The garden around the mill is huge and beautiful with easy access to the river and many gorgeous spots to sit and look around. The accomodation itself is very nice, comfortable beds and a great place downstairs with a fire place. Would definitely recommend!

  We had an amazing trip over the weekend at the hidden mill. Lorraine was awesome and was there whenever we needed her. The mill is unbelievable, it exceeded our expectations.... read more The hot tub and woodland sauna is a must. The whole place just ooozes character.

We had total freedom to enjoy ourselves and very tucked away and cut off from the rest of the world, just what we wanted.

Everything was perfect

Thanks for having us!

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

  The mill is a very special place. The gardens, river and general peace and quietof the place. I loved sitting by the river spotting kingfishers.

  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.

  Very easy to find but tucked out of the way with a very communicative and accomodating host. A lovely setting made for a great stay!

  absolutely an amazing place so peaceful and the hot tub omg out of this world the house is absolutely beautiful will defo be back soon

  Had the best weekend celebrating my husband's birthday at the Hidden Mill!
Such a beautiful property and Lorraine is super responsive ☺️
The hot tub is fantastic and... read more definitely worth the money!

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

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.
