The West Wing at The Mill House
Welcome to The West Wing at The Mill House, a delightful 250-year-old cottage, once a former millers house.

This inviting space features a cosy living room adorned with books, a wood burner, TV, and Wi-Fi, perfect for a relaxing evening indoors. Guests can enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a washing machine, oven, hob, and dining area, ideal for a comfortable self-catered stay.
Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and a family bathroom, including one king-size room, a double room, and a charming single room.

Great accomodation in a beautiful position.
We had a lovely few days in the cottage. It is in a fantastic situation with a wonderful bakery in walking distance and great walks from the front door. The kitchen has all you need and the bedrooms are very comfortable with good linen. We had a good supper at the Linton hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Trip to Scotland with the family
The place it was great, I love that the owners handover the key to us on arrival and is not just a key in a little box with a code, it is a little oasis surrounded by trees and nature away of anyone and anything perfect for what we where looking just a place to sleep have some breakfast and maybe dinner after all day exploring. 3 rooms in total 2 with a double bed and one with a single bed. They even left a bottle of wine for us as a welcome present love it (did not drink we like more whites wine)
These are not things that we didn't like, these are the things that we think could be improved in the property under our point of view. - Location it is fantastic but took us 45 minutes to get to the place as the gps do not take you to the property IMPORTANT: GPS Dunbar Road, East Linton EH40 3DE Bostock Bakery and from there take the path just in front of the bakery then you will get to the house - the property in general need some maintenance as there are some bits to plaster and paint nothing big - The shower is great and the water comes really hot but the electric shower makes so much noise that I feel bad sometimes to have a shower too earlytoo late and wake everyone up. - spiders and spiderwebs I know and understand that it is spider season the time we stay but there were too many on arrival showing a bit of lack in attention to detail.
