About this house rental

The Little Mill is a former threshing mill which has been converted into a beautiful open plan living space with three floors; a loft bedroom upstairs, open plan living area lined with books, artwork and antiques, and toilet in the middle floor. Downstairs has another lounge area with a wood stove, open plan kitchen and dining, bathroom with a shower and toilet and a private double bedroom. Comfortably sleeping two couples in the bedrooms, the two lounge areas (middle and lower levels) can also accommodate four more guests with pull-out beds. Pets are welcome in consultation with the owner for an additional fee (5 pounds per dog per night).

There are beaches just minutes walk away with caves, rock arches and fascinating geological formations. The stunning scenery has even captivated Hollywood film stars, with Mel Gibson's Hamlet being filmed in the adjoining fields.

Good for solo business travellers wanting space and atmosphere, a cosy getaway for couples or family travellers wanting an authentic rustic experience. Guests can enjoy beach walks, fishing, foraging, wild swimming and dolphin spotting. Minutes from Stonehaven where there are shops, places to eat out, golf links and historic Dunnottar Castle.

This beautiful old stone mill is in a magnificent setting, by a millstream, pond, other heritage buildings -- and a short walk to the sea. The Little Mill itself is lightfilled, spacious, comfortable and with a well equipped kitchen and cozy fireplace. Our host Moya was most helpful ad accommodating. The bonus is the bevy of peacocks. A stay here is enchanting and enchanted!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The setting is truly special—peaceful, scenic, and just steps from a stunning stretch of coastline. The beach and surrounding views were breathtaking, and it was the perfect place to relax and take in the natural beauty of Scotland.The location couldn’t have been better. It felt tucked away and quiet, yet it was incredibly central to so many places we wanted to explore. We were able to easily visit nearby towns, historic sites, and enjoy day trips without long drives.The home itself was charming, comfortable, and well cared for, everything we needed for a seamless stay. It struck a perfect balance between cozy and spacious, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring.Overall, this was one of those rare places that exceeds expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-located retreat in Scotland.
