Amazing trip with beautiful friends!! The gorgeous old mill house is set within velvety rolling hills- a really pretty spot!

Thank you Lorraine, Emma and Bruce! 🙂

  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 place. Perfect weekend away. Gorgeous location and set up for exploring Dumfries.

  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!

  The Hidden Mill - and its huge garden, bisected by a gently flowing river - is a pretty special place. From the impressive, authentically furnished mill itself to the array... read more of on-site amenities, including wood fired hot tub and sauna, this was the perfect choice of getaway for all 3 generations of our family. Thank you Lorraine and co!

  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.

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.

  We had an amazing stay, the mill was outstanding, homely, cosy and with lots of character, the location is amazing,surrounded by nature, looking at the stars at night whilst in... read more bed, was very magical.

  A lovely spacious accommodation . The kids thought it was great playing hide and seek .

We enjoyed using the hot tub and the pre-lighting service made it... read more easier on our first night.

It is only 5 minutes away from the Galloway activity centre on Loch Ken so we were able to do some Archery and Laser tag.

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

  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.

  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.

  Honestly one of the best trips we have ever had - the host was so friendly and helpful but gave us our space. The house was clean and had all... read more amenities you could need. They accommodated our weird requests (murder mystery weekend) and even gave us tips on best spots to play hide and seek! Nothing could have been better and we will absolutely be back if the host will have us. Best and most unique hot tub experience ever too, just 10/10 all round.

  Absolutely great stay in a beautiful house. Lorraine is a great host, very helpful.
Additionally the house has an absolutely fantastic selection of cds in the basement.

  Lovely stay!

  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

  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.
