Extraordinary property! Beautiful home! Gorgeous grounds! Lovely host!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2024
The home and grounds are absolutely beautiful. The home was very clean and well appointed, having everything we needed. Sally, the owner/host is the kindest person who really looked after us. She provided us with contacts for drivers, tour guides, and even a chef. She even made dining reservations for us. I had asked for a recommendation for bakery where I could order a special occasion cake. She gave a couple options, and then picked up my order for me. Her attention to detail is superb and she went above and beyond in so many ways. We would definitely stay there again if we are ever back in Scotland.

We traveled around the Edinburgh, N Berwick and even saw the lovely Hawick. Sally’s home is amazing. So well appointed, stylish, comfortable and convenient for all kinds of activities.
From walking to Dalkeith, traveling to the coast for golf or a day visit to Edinburgh, you cannot beat the location. 6 of us were accommodated comfortably in style. Already planning our return.
It’s not just a house; Sally and her local knowledge is top notch. So helpful and insightful. The visit would not be complete, however, without the great help of Wilbur. The best driver a family could ask for. Sally’s referral proved to be a home run. Wilbur is a unique combination of wisdom, self deprecating humor and Scottish history. We loved our first return to Scotland since my great grandmother left to the States. Craick all round.

Our group of 10 family and friends stayed at the Olde Millhouse for 7 nights. The house is even more amazing than the photos with every comfort you could want, and the grounds were a delightful surprise! The meticulously kept landscape includes a creek and waterfall which delighted the grandchildren, as did the puppies (William and Fleur) and the hens - fresh eggs everyday! The house is better equipped than my own, and if you need anything, Sally will get it for you! Sally is the perfect host, one step ahead of all our needs. When our group's arrival plans got turned upside down, she sorted it all out and got us settled in without a hitch. She is super helpful, gracious with a delightful sense of humor who went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Our plans included a special dinner prepared by Jesse who sought out our preferences ahead of our visit, and prepared a wonderful meal. The location of the house is perfect as a home base to explore Edinburgh, North Berwick and the Highlands. Dalkeith offers several local dining options which we happily sampled. The Olde Millhouse gets our highest recommendation. My family will be talking about this vacation for years to come, and would absolutely stay there again. Sally, thank you for everything!
