Notes from the host
The Mill House
Overlooking Little Wood and the Mill stream, this charismatic cottage will be a perfect fit for families or those looking for a cosy country retreat.
Perfect for families looking for a cosy, country retreat
With the River Tweed flowing just 1 mile from the door, it is also ideally positioned for those fishing the renowned salmon pools of Makerstoun and other prime middle Tweed fishing beats.
Inside, the sitting room has an effortlessly stylish scheme which exudes warmth and comfort, filled with light from windows on every side overlooking the pretty cottage garden and the mill stream below. Add plush carpeting throughout, comfortable sofas, and quality soft furnishings from local producers to the mix and you are promised a really rather lovely holiday stay.
There is a compact but well equipped kitchen with pretty gingham accents and beamed ceiling, while dining for four is provided in the adjoining sitting room.
Head upstairs for a distinctly Scottish vibe and a stained glass window for added charm. This leads into to two en-suite bedrooms where heritage shades, crisp linens and tweedy throws will make it hard to resist a lazy lie-in with a good book.
For families, the addition of a separate games room with table tennis and table football will keep children entertained for perhaps the adults in the party too!
