About the home

Why choose The Mill?

Renovated in 2009, the Mill is our very own Grand Design.

The Mill at Dunmuck (gaelic= hill of the wild boar) is a converted stone barn, and part of a small farm steading typical of the area.
The conversion was carried out in 2009 and finished to a very high standard, with a double height living area, smart kitchen and great eco credentials. The Mill is warm throughout, with underfloor heating from an air source heat pump, whole house heat recovery system solar panels, LED lighting and induction hob. When you just want to curl up in front of the fire there is also an Esse woodburning stove/ cooker.

The Mill is light and spacious with wall of sliding glass doors opening west onto the garden to make the most of the sun and views across the wooded valley. Watching the sunset change the whole house pink is beautiful, wait a few hours and see thousands of stars twinkling overhead.

There is a master bedroom, double sofa bed in the living room and a loft bedroom of two singles which is reached by outside steps.
The Mill has its own large enclosed garden and parking. There is a trampoline, games room with table tennis and beyond the garden 90 acres of small farm, woods, lochans and a small river to explore.
The Mill is fully equipped and the only amenity shared with the house is a laundry.

“Glorious Galloway getaway.” Lovely bright comfortable accomodation in a beautiful part of Scotland. Peaceful location with numerous attractions nearby especially for walking and cycling. Great bird-watching and natural history location with red squirrels providing regular entertainment. Very hospitable owners. We will definitely return.

“A truly great experience staying in a wonderful property” We had a super holiday at the mill and can't wait to return. The owners should be proud of a great conversion that is practice and very stylish. The surrounding area is beautiful and our three young children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area around the mill as well as trips out around Dumfries and Galloway. Great days were had at cream of Galloway, kircudbright, Dalton pottery and Rockcliffe beach .

“Wonderful place” We loved the Mill. It had everything we needed. It was warm, comfortable, and well supplied. The grounds were amazing, and for wildlife watchers we couldn't have asked for more. We only had a 4 nights, but really would have liked more. Well worth going there and hope to go again.

“Perfect” We have just returned from our 2nd stay at The Mill. I honestly can not recommend staying here enough, it really is the perfect place to enjoy a break. As well as being totally relaxing and peaceful there is plenty to keep the children happy and entertained, from the safety of the gardens, to the games room, to exploring Dunmuck and it's surroundings. The Mill has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful with plenty of wonderful walks. Colvend is a great base if you want to go futhur a field and see whats going on in the area. The Mill is our number 1 holiday destination now, my daughters (aged 7 & 5) prefer it to our annual holiday abroad!!! Thank you Laura and Alan!
