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!

  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.

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

The Mill itself was clean, tidy and comfortable, but it's the grounds that really make the place. The garden is huge, and absolutely amazing - the stream, the waterfall, the hot tub, what has been planted there - it all makes it a really special place.

We also weren't short of day trips as the area surrounding the Mill is also great. Thanks so much Lorraine (and Mama and Kaya).

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.

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

  Really nice and welcoming clean tidy lovely places

  What a way to spend the last weekend of my 20s! The pictures don’t do this place justice, you really need to come and see it for yourself. Stunning surroundings,... read more lots to explore, great communication from Lorraine. The hot tub is a MUST and the sauna followed by a cold dip in the river. We’ll be gatekeeping this hidden gem for future bookings. 😊

  The mill is a beautiful magical location, loads of space in the house for big groups to hang out together or spread out and do their own thing. Lovely garden... read more and soothing sound of river wherever you are, we saw all kinds of birds and a red squirrel. The hot tub in the garden was a lovely experience. Lorraine can put you in touch with some talented people for extra activities and based on our experience I would highly recommend: we went on a fantastic foraging trip with the very knowledgeable Alex Ross. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

  amazing house and location

  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.

  Phenomenal hosts with a unique venue. Our second of hopefully many visits. The kindness and chill vibes overflow here, just a really special place.

  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.

  Great stay at Lorraine’s place!

  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 the perfect host - there when we needed her and leaving us to it the rest of the time. She gave a great recommendation for a beach nearby, and although sadly for her the hot tub had broken, Lorraine sent over an immediate refund.
Would definitely recommend this place and urge you to not miss the chance to see the milky way at night!!
Really special, thank you Lorraine and family.

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

  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.

  Don't miss the opportunity to stay here ... awesome place.

  A lovely property and home. Hottub is excellent

  This mill has amazing historical value! The riverside exterior view is amazing.
