A magical retreat, we had the hot tub and sauna experience added to our stay. Transforming our stay in to a magical family weekend. Our host Lorraine was super... read more friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The history of the Hidden Mill was so it intriguing, the workings of the Mill are still there to be explored, our children found it fascinating. Waking up to thr gentle sounds of the river running past the Mill made for a wonderful emersion into the history and nature surrounding this wonderful home. So many things to do locally an ideal Base for the adventurous, the red deer park and wild goat park just a car journey away. But there's so much to explore around the Mill you don't even have to leave. The Abundance honesty stall, is another wonderful feature added to the magic of the Hidden Mill! Thank you again Lorraine and family for a magical memorable weekend getaway. ✨️

  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.

  Amazing stay for birthday with friends. Best Airbnb I have stayed at and best hosts by far! Great peaceful weekend in the country and nothing was a problem even when... read more we decided to add a few of the extras during our stay the guys sorted it with a quick message.

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

  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.

  I knew our stay would be special based on the fantastic reviews and it did not disappoint.
Very rarely do you walk into a place and instantly feel right... read more at home but we did here.

Lorraine goes above and beyond to answer any questions and is very warm and friendly. We met a couple of other friendly locals who introduced us to Jackson the donkey and gave us a wave while cycling past the house ☺️

The sauna and hot tub experience was wonderful and the massive outdoor space for the kids to play was incredible, they had so much fun.

The only thing I’d say is some of the pillows in the bedroom could have been doing with being replaced but that’s really all I can say.

Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home.

  We had a lovely few days in Lorraine's magical place. Such a unique and quirky property. Remote and peaceful. After all the warm dry weather, the rain started when we... read more arrived but the house had plenty of space for us all (10 people) and was cosy. The rain filled the lovely river and waterfalls running right by the house, that we didn't notice when we first arrived! Lorraine was really helpful and responsive

  Fantastic wee find and contact with Lorraine was great all the way through. We loved our stay and the hob tub was lush.

  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... read more Lorraine and her partner made our everything go flawlessly. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and hope to be back in the future!

  The Mill is a truly wonderful experience that we would recommend to anyone. Full of history, tastefully decorated and in an incredibly special location.

The Mill itself is spacious... read more and well-equipped and had a really magical vibe.

The grounds are really something else. I don’t think we’ve ever stayed somewhere with a waterfall! Fab garden for the kids and dogs to play in. Picturesque, peaceful and perfect for a tranquil escape from the world for a few days.

  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.

  We had an amazing 3 nights at lorraines mill, beautiful scenery, lorraine is so helpful and nothihg is to much trouble, our only thing was the sofa beds are not... read more comfortable at all and we were not informed about wood fired hot tubs which after one days use has a horrible stale water smell so we only had use of the hot for one day, we would still 100% recommend as a beautiful peaceful place to send family time

  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!

  Beautiful spot, nestled in amongst the fields and hills. The mill really makes you feel "away from it all", and you'll have everything you need for a comfy and relaxing... read more stay. The hot tub wasn't working when we were there, but they offered us the sauna experience instead, which was amazing. The animals, trampoline and swing were a hit with the kids, and I loved the quiet walks and sunset views. Lorraine and her family are super hosts, very knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely stay here again!

  What a beautiful home, nestled in such a beautiful, dramatic landscape.

Cosy fire downstairs perfect for sitting with the whole family in the evening recounting tales of the... read more day with a glass of wine.

Kitchen was fully equipped and spotless.

Loved lying in bed looking up at the stars through the velux.

Hot tub with the sound of the gushing waterfall nearby was complete relaxation, looking up through the autumnal leaves, watching bats and seeing the stars come out, the water is so soft in the area.

Such attention to detail in the house and the surrounding area.

Hope to see you again soon Lorraine!

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

  Very chilled location with stunning views, great hosts. Will try and get back.

  Such a magical place to stay! The mill is full of character with a wonderful garden and lovely local walks.

  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.
