About this property

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.

As if we were staying in someone's house

So close to the coast. It was lovely to be able to walk to the cliffs, only a few minutes away. Great stove and generous welcome food.

More beautiful than the pictures

We chose the Mill for the last leg of our 2-week journey thru Scotland and were not disappointed. Eclectic and artfully decorated, this is not your typical vrbo - well above all our expectations. Our hosts were kind enough to set out all the simple necessities to carry us through to the next day when we could get to a store - a very generous and appreciated gesture. Clean and comfortable, we had no trouble tucking in in front of the fireplace on a very rainy day. Don't miss a walk around the perimeter of the coastline and through the wooded lane; magical!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful couple of days in this brilliant house. We walked down to the lovely local beach and had a picnic in the sunshine, followed by some rockpooling, and snuggled down in front of a roaring wood burner in the evenings. The beds are comfy and the house had absolutely everything we needed. The owner and her son also couldn't have done more, they really welcomed us, and even allowed our daughter to help feed the peacocks and chickens, which she loved! The mill is a really special place, and we hope to return soon for longer!

Exceeded expectations!

This rental was well beyond what we were even hoping for. The mill itself, in addition to being perfectly anointed, is located on an accessible property featuring some of the most spectacular views in Scotland. Further, the hosts, and Thomas in particular, welcomed us with generosity and kindness. A fantastic stay!
