The Mill
Set in the captivating surroundings of the Yarrow Valley, The Mill is an outstanding conversion of a 19th century threshing mill with charm and character in abundance.
The tranquil setting is a perfect spot for families or large groups to relax and enjoy a break in beautiful surroundings.
This award winning property has been sympathetically redeveloped to an extremely high standard, oozing comfort at every turn. Locally sourced hardwoods have been used extensively throughout the property and a natural fusion of old and new has led to the creation of an incredibly warm and inviting holiday home.
The main open plan living area is generously proportioned with a high beamed ceiling and a mezzanine floor providing a cosy nook. Featuring a large open fireplace, surrounded by three comfortable sofas it provides a convivial entertaining space for relaxed conversation along with the odd glass of wine! The kitchen is extensively equipped with all mod cons and plenty of lovely touches for holiday living.
The ground floor features a luxury bedroom with sauna and steam room for a little indulgence at the end of a busy day, while downstairs the custom finishes and attention to detail continue to shine through in the three en-suite bedrooms - each unique and characterful with elegant fittings by Jim Lawrence and fabulous artworks by local artists.
Outside, children and adults can enjoy some together-time dabbling for wildlife around the nearby mill pond, followed perhaps by a campfire and a little star gazing under the amazing dark skies of this area.
