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.

The cottage is nestled amongst rolling fields, close to the idyllic Phantassie Doocot and ancient Preston Mill on the banks of the River Tyne. Situated just half a mile from all village amenities – including two pubs and a local shop.

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.

Admire the stunning views surrounding the cottage and relax in your own patio garden furnished with garden furniture and a bird table. Private parking is provided, and we welcome up to two dogs to join you during your stay.

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&#39t 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.
