Excellent!

The home and grounds are absolutely beautiful. The home was very clean and well appointed, having everything we needed. Sally, the owner/host is the kindest person who really looked after us. She provided us with contacts for drivers, tour guides, and even a chef. She even made dining reservations for us. I had asked for a recommendation for bakery where I could order a special occasion cake. She gave a couple options, and then picked up my order for me. Her attention to detail is superb and she went above and beyond in so many ways. We would definitely stay there again if we are ever back in Scotland.

Scottish Return

We traveled around the Edinburgh, N Berwick and even saw the lovely Hawick. Sally’s home is amazing. So well appointed, stylish, comfortable and convenient for all kinds of activities. From walking to Dalkeith, traveling to the coast for golf or a day visit to Edinburgh, you cannot beat the location. 6 of us were accommodated comfortably in style. Already planning our return. It’s not just a house; Sally and her local knowledge is top notch. So helpful and insightful. The visit would not be complete, however, without the great help of Wilbur. The best driver a family could ask for. Sally’s referral proved to be a home run. Wilbur is a unique combination of wisdom, self deprecating humor and Scottish history. We loved our first return to Scotland since my great grandmother left to the States. Craick all round.

Top Tier

Our group of 10 family and friends stayed at the Olde Millhouse for 7 nights. The house is even more amazing than the photos with every comfort you could want, and the grounds were a delightful surprise! The meticulously kept landscape includes a creek and waterfall which delighted the grandchildren, as did the puppies (William and Fleur) and the hens - fresh eggs everyday! The house is better equipped than my own, and if you need anything, Sally will get it for you! Sally is the perfect host, one step ahead of all our needs. When our group's arrival plans got turned upside down, she sorted it all out and got us settled in without a hitch. She is super helpful, gracious with a delightful sense of humor who went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Our plans included a special dinner prepared by Jesse who sought out our preferences ahead of our visit, and prepared a wonderful meal. The location of the house is perfect as a home base to explore Edinburgh, North Berwick and the Highlands. Dalkeith offers several local dining options which we happily sampled. The Olde Millhouse gets our highest recommendation. My family will be talking about this vacation for years to come, and would absolutely stay there again. Sally, thank you for everything!

The Old Mill House

The Old Mill House is a gorgeous house and property. Sally the owner is a delight. She gave suggestions and helped us book other activities (fly fishing lesson for son and grandson). She suggested golf courses, day trips and restaurants. We were a family of 10 and we all loved the experience.

A beautiful idyll …

It is rare when a property that you research and select online meets virtually all of the benchmarks, but Sally’s property is not only beautiful and comfortable, but the service level is beyond compare. Having a small child with us as a family, we wanted a place that addressed her needs while also being appropriate for the adults in the room and the home did that and so much more! We were close to parks, golf courses, the grocery when needed, and close enough to the city of Edinburgh that we were able to take advantage of Sally’s in-house driver to see a concert and sightsee easily. We also took full advantage of Sally’s chef (and bagpiper;) for a daughter’s landmark birthday celebration. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves any more than we did!;)

Amazing home and property in lovely Dalkeith Scotland!

My family and I recently visited the Old Millhouse in June. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay here. The host Sally couldn’t have been more helpful in planning our stay and was always accessible to help us in anyway she could. Wilbur our driver for the week was always reliable and quite the character. Sally put together various outings for us, to North Bewick, Hawicke and a day at St. Andrew’s with her tour guide Darren who was great. We did two dinners in with meals prepared by chef Jesse and they were both delicious. The home itself is rich in history and lovingly decorated from Sally’s numerous travels. The property is so serene you never want to leave. In all a dream property for a perfect Scottish getaway….we hope to be back!

Amazing Location, Property, and Host

The OldMill House was everything depicted in the VRBO listing ... and more. The property was one of a kind - a country estate just 20 minutes from the Edinburgh city center. The property itself is stunning from the grounds to the architecture to the decorating and art inside the house. Every detail was attended to and our family felt super comfortable the entire week we were in Dalkeith. Everything was well supplied - the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, even wood for the fireplace. And, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Sally who promptly replied to every question asked before and during our stay, who was on site to welcome us and show us around the house, who assisted us with travel recommendations, transport, and dining recommendations. There is a reason why this is a top rental property in all of Scotland. We can't wait to visit this lovely home again!

The fabulous Old Millhouse

My family of 7, including our one year old granddaughter, stayed in the Old Millhouse for 5 nights. The house is even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Everything is top notch from kitchen appliances and utensils, to comfy bedding, linens and toiletries. The decor is absolutely lovely. Sally, our host, was super helpful and responsive and just lovely. We hired personal chef Jesse to prepare our dinner upon arrival and it was one of our best parts of the entire trip! The huge, private grounds are stunning and Sally's dogs, William and Fleur, charmed us with their good manners and adorableness. The house location was a great jumping off spot for visiting Edinburgh, North Berwick and sites to the north as well. We had a beautiful family vacation at the Old Millhouse and would 100% stay there again and again.

We found the property online. We traveled with 4 adults and 2 children. The house was modern and spacious. The grounds were amazing and plenty of room for large parties to spread out. The highlight of the propertyis Sally who owns and manages the property. She was our concierge for the week and can arrange golf, private chefs and transportation. We highly recommend and will be back.

Very beautiful property

The house is as beautiful as it looks online. The location is quiet and pretty, but not super convenient to Edinburgh. The biggest problem was privacy. The landlord would come into our rooms while we were gone to close windows, which is fair, but she could have just asked us to close them before leaving. Once, while someone was in the house, she came in unannounced again. It was uncomfortable. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

My kids loved getting eggs from the chickens each day and exploring the grounds. The swimspa was a luxurious and relaxing way to end the day.

Fabulous stay!

It’s wonderful when a holiday property surpasses your expectations and this one certainly did! The house was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished throughout. The grounds are lovely and the swim-spa was such fun. Sally and Patrick were so kind and responsive throughout. There were some lovely touches such as the welcome basket with local delicacies, the fresh milk and orange juice deliveries on the doorstep and the chicken coop where we were able to gather our own eggs (which the children loved!). We were particularly blessed by the weather but the house is the perfect launching off pad to explore the delights of the city, the beaches (the Lobster Shack at North Berwick was a highlight!) and walks in the hills. The Restoration Yard restaurant/shop was another surprise - a wonderful place to visit. Thanks again Sally and Patrick and we hope to stay again sometime!

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Sally de Waard

Bild für Gastgeberprofil

My name is Sally I am proud of my heritage as part of Clan McNeil - you might even spot our distinctive tartan around the property. With a lifetime dedicated to hospitality, I've discovered that the secret to exceptional stays lies in those thoughtful little touches that transform a place from simply somewhere to sleep into a true home away from home.

I absolutely love meeting people from all walks of life and hearing their stories. There's something magical about helping guests create wonderful memories, whether that's recommending the perfect local restaurant, sharing hidden gems in the area, or simply ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

You'll likely meet my two adorable companions, William and Fleur - my beloved Dachshunds who are always ready to provide a friendly welcome (though they're very well-behaved if you prefer your space). Living right here in the grounds of our historic old millhouse means I'm always nearby should you need anything at all, but I'm equally skilled at reading when guests want complete privacy to enjoy their retreat.

My goal is simple: to ensure your stay is not just comfortable, but truly special. From the moment you arrive until you reluctantly have to leave, I want you to feel completely at home while experiencing the very best of Scottish hospitality.

This captures your warmth, experience, and the perfect balance between being available and respecting privacy that makes for excellent hosting!

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

Here's a heartfelt description about why you love living in Midlothian:

**Why I Love Living in Midlothian**

When you visit, you'll instantly understand what makes this place so incredibly special. I'll never forget the day my Mum and I first discovered this house on a gloriously hot June afternoon. It was practically derelict then - honestly, it had maybe only a few weeks left before it would have been beyond saving. But something about it captured our hearts completely.

What I adore most is the perfect balance this location offers. We're nestled in 3.5 acres of beautiful gardens - a genuine countryside retreat where you can lose yourself among the trees and flowers, listen to birdsong, and truly unwind. Yet we're just five minutes from all the conveniences you could need: lovely local shops, fantastic restaurants, and access to some of the most gorgeous walks you'll find anywhere in Scotland.

And then there's Edinburgh - that magnificent city is right on our doorstep! Whether you want to explore the historic Royal Mile, catch a show during Festival season, or simply soak up the culture and atmosphere, it's all easily within reach.

But perhaps what I treasure most is the wonderful community here in Dalkeith. The people are genuinely friendly and welcoming - there's a real sense of belonging that you don't find everywhere. I'm so proud to be part of this community and to call Midlothian home.

This location truly offers the best of both worlds: peaceful rural charm with modern convenience, and I can't wait for you to experience it for yourself.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig



The Old Millhouse isn't just accommodation - it's a rare sanctuary that offers something you simply won't find anywhere else. This stunning 18th-century stone-built property has been lovingly restored to blend historical charm with 21st-century comfort, creating a perfect harmony between past and present.

Our location is truly magical. We're embraced by the gentle waters of the River Esk, where nature puts on a daily show. You might spot playful otters diving and surfacing, catch sight of trout gliding through the clear waters, and if you're very lucky, witness the occasional salmon making its determined journey upstream. The surrounding grounds come alive with wildlife - badgers emerge in the evening twilight, and each spring we're blessed with the sight of roe deer with her precious babies right here on our land.

Inside, every corner tells a story. I've painstakingly renovated this beautiful property to the most exacting standards, filling it with carefully restored antiques gathered from across Scotland and around the world. Each piece has been chosen not just for its beauty, but for the warmth and character it brings to your stay.

In our increasingly fast-paced world, The Old Millhouse stands as a genuine oasis - a place where time slows down, where you can reconnect with nature, and where the gentle sound of flowing water and rustling leaves replaces the noise of modern life. It's not just unique; it's utterly irreplaceable.
