The House is just 20 minutes from Edinburgh and 25 mins from Edinburgh Airport .The Old Millhouse is a 5-bedroom, 5-bath property on landscaped acreage in the old market town of Dalkeith. We are infatuated with this home—which we lovingly restored from ruin in 2012—and think you will be, too.
Here are just a few of the experiences to which you and your group of 10 can treat yourselves:
· Sink into your private, four-season Swim Spa Hydro Pool. It's heated year-round, so you can soak amidst snowflakes, falling autumn leaves, the blooms of spring, or the dappled sun of a summer evening. We provide robes and slippers for when you emerge!
· Share a feast. Choose from the fully equipped kitchen with an induction range cooker and a KAMADO JOE BBQ grill on the patio. Please ask about our catering packages.
Wake utterly refreshed. Each of the 5 bedrooms features an en-suite bath and a Hypnos Bed—world-famous for their comfort—wrapped in soft cotton linen. Need an extra lift? There's a Nespresso machine waiting in the kitchen for your morning latte.

Most impressive is Dalkeith Country Park, featuring Fort Douglas Adventure Park for kids, and, for the adults, The Restoration Yard , cafe and restaurant serving family style meals.

We can help you get set up with fishing rods with our local Gillie Or just sit on the flowering banks and listen to the rush of the river, only that you're mere miles from the bustle of Edinburgh!

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.

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.

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 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.

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!;)

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!

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!

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.

By far the best host we have ever encountered!! I can not say enough about Sally and her ability to make us feel like family. She took care of our every need and then some!! The house is amazing and perfect for a group to come and have a great experience of Scotland. Her recommendations were perfect!! Come visit the Old Mill House in Dalkieth!!!

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.

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.

Our family had an amazing stay at the The Old Millhouse. A stunning property located just minutes from Edinburgh and decorated to perfection. Our host Sally could not have been more accommodating and accessible for us. She graciously arranged for provisions prior to our arrival and made our life so easy. There are not enough Thank You’s for the opportunity to stay in such a lovely, peaceful property during the Christmas holidays. We hope to make it an annual trip!

The house and property are stunning. It is it’s own oasis which I cannot recommend more! Johanne was helpful and responsive in the booking process and checking in was as easy as it comes. If you stay, use Wilbur’s services! He was funny and sweet, and made getting around effortless. So happy to have found this listing on vrbo!

We had a lovely stay - the house is beautiful and very nicely furnished, and the kitchen is well stocked with essentials and cooking utensils.

Dreamy property!
We had an absolutely WONDERFUL stay at this beautiful home! Johanne was more helpful than I could have imagined: we communicated with her before, during, and after our trip and she answered a myriad of our questions, accepted and put away groceries we had ordered prior to our arrival, was a wealth of information about the city and things to do with our family, and was a lovely hostess indeed:) The home is beautiful and it accommodated all seven of our family members very comfortably. 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. We would highly recommend the Old Millhouse to anyone visiting Dalkeith!

Exquisite property with plenty of space
Really could not have asked for a better experience. Johanne was so accommodating and really made the entire experience so pleasant.

Great getaway for a group of friends. All queries answered before arrival. Private catering one evening excellent and minibus into Edinburgh great value. One minor point is 2 bedrooms on 3rd floor quite a bit smaller but we drew lots to make it fair.

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!

A truly amazing space and a superb host
The family (and the dog) had a fantastic time at the Old Mill House. The property is beautifully presented and superbly equipped and is short of nothing. Sally is a fantastic host and could not do enough for us providing advice on everything from travel through to the local brewery! Great location as a base for walking, Dalkeith Park is 15 minutes away and offers hours of walks, a great café, a restaurant and wonderful adventure playground for the kids. It is really easy to jump on the train from the local station straight into Edinburgh (and beyond) which saves the hassle of traffic and parking in the city.
The spa tub was well used, lovely and warm on the coldest night in October and the grounds around the property provide plenty of space for walking and playing with the dog. We made use of the mid-week cleaning and linen/towel change offered on request and we had the private chef Sally recommended, Nichola Pearce, cook for us in the house which was brilliant.
This place is beyond a home from home, you will not be disappointed, and we shall be returning.

First rate property with all the trimmings
The Old Millhouse was all we had hoped for and more besides. The owner and host Sally could not have been more helpful both before and during our stay, assisting us with arranging activities (including Laser Clay Shooting in the grounds), in house catering, food and wine deliveries and even transportation. The house itself is stunning, beautifully furnished and with all the facilities you could ask for. Of particular note is the massive hot tub, which we had the weather for. Thanks so much Sally, hope to see you at the Old Millhouse again one day.

Family Trip to Edinburgh
We stayed at the Old Mill House for a family gathering for 10 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The property is gorgeous, and the house is amazing. Historical and updated at the same time. Very well decorated. Everything in the house that you would need is there.
We used the house as a base for travel around the area. Sally hooked us up with many great ideas and her driver Wilbur could not have been more accommodating. Seems like Sally knows everyone in the area and her contacts and knowledge made our trip even better than it would have been otherwise. We hosted a private dinner at the house using Sally's recommended Chef, Chef Nichola, and it was fantastic. If you go, please take advantage of Sally's help in planning your vacation in advance. It will be worth it. Sally was fantastic.
So many times one worries about whether the property meets expectations. No hesitation with this one. It exceeded our expectations. Everything was nice. Everything worked. There was a lot of room. And beautifully decorated.
We were a group of seven which was easily accommodated in the house.
We will make another visit to Scotland, and The Old Millhouse will be our base to travel from while we are there.

The best vacation week ever.
My family of ten enjoyed our stay to the fullest. From beginning to end we were pleased beyond measure. Before we arrived, Sally communicated with me about the property and about many possibilities for activities in Scotland. After our arrival she was always available to help but gave us plenty of privacy. The children especially loved the pool/spa. After a busy day of traveling, it was great to have a dip. The house met our expectations and more. Thank you, Sally.

You cannot go wrong with this property. It was beautiful, comfortable, gorgeous grounds, wonderful kitchen, private bedrooms/bathrooms. We had eight people, loved every second of our stay. Sally was spectacular, very helpful, loved her too. Travel to Edinburgh by taxi was inexpensive, easy, train station was easy as well. Many restaurants delivered, great supermarket nearby.

What an amazing home and fantastic host
I do not have words to accurately describe what a beautiful home and gracious and friendly host Sally is. Our time in this beautiful home was just about as perfect as it could be.
The home is super spacious with 5 large bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The kitchen is fantastic for preparing large meals, we ate there almost every night with more than 8 people at each dinner, and the Orangery is very cosy. The weather was perfect while we were there and so we spent hours at the outdoor dining table, sitting around the fire late at night and enjoying the swim spa. My children spent hours in the garden with the chickens and just generally running around the high, safe and quite grounds, and we even hired a local fisherman to help the kids fish for a couple of hours.
Sally was amazing. So friendly, so helpful. Available when we needed her but left us alone at other times. We absolutely loved you Sally.
Book this home, you will have an experience of a lifetime. Wonderful

Absolutely beautiful home
Our family of 9 adults (3 generations) could not have asked for a more perfect stay in Scotland. The Old Millhouse is beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home. We were greeted by the owners, Sally and Terry who could not have been more welcoming and gracious. A delicious meal was even waiting for us in the fridg when we arrived. This beautiful country home provided a relaxing retreat after a long day of sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed the chickens who live on the property and the eggs they provided. The property offers over 3 acres of privacy yet it is only a 15 minute walk into the town of Dalkeith or to the beautiful Dalkeith County Park. Edinburgh is a short 20 min taxi drive away or you can do as the locals and take the bus. Sally was so helpful with assisting us in making transportation arrangements, providing dining and online grocery recommendations. We highly recommend staying at The Old Millhouse, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Sally and Terry for a wonderful stay in your home. Cindy, Dan, and family (California, US)

Fantastic Property in Dalkeith
My family of 10 had a fabulous time staying in the house provided by Sally and Terry. Sally gave us all of the information we needed for a great stay in Dalkeith, a town outside of Edinburgh. We made good use of public transport the entire 8 days we were there. The house is gorgeous inside and out. This mill was restored to a beautiful house with all of the necessary accommodations for a large group. Of our many HomeAways (now 10 in all), this property was the most special. Thank you both for a great trip! Cheers!

Very special Scottish estate
A fabulous house, a gorgeous setting and incredibly welcoming hosts made this a trip of a life time for my wife and me, our four adult sons and their four girlfriends. May thanks to Sally and Terry for making an idyllic retreat even more heavenly. Fabulous.
