A well positioned and equipped holiday cottage, ideal for exploring the beautiful Border towns. We were lucky with the weather, which helps! The hosts, Gary and Beth, were welcoming. Added interest from the chickens and the automatic lawn mowers - very therapeutic to watch them do their stuff!

The Mill is a lovely place to have a holiday. West Linton is ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside. The Pentland Hills are close by and we walked up Scald Law and Carnethy Hill which had beautiful views from the top. Edinburgh is nearby and we enjoyed a day there as well as a visit to Peebles which is a lovely town with some nice shops and cafes. The Mill itself is lovely - very cosy with all the home comforts. We loved the comfy sofa and the views out to the stunning garden with its beautiful trees and perfectly mowed lawn but our favorite thing was watching the family of hens - such characters :)

Fantastic hosts, stunning location and 1st class accomodation. Ideal for a relaxing week in the country but close enough to nip into Edinburgh to see shows etc. Cannot recommend this highly enough
