This beautiful old stone mill is in a magnificent setting, by a millstream, pond, other heritage buildings -- and a short walk to the sea. The Little Mill itself is lightfilled, spacious, comfortable and with a well equipped kitchen and cozy fireplace. Our host Moya was most helpful ad accommodating. The bonus is the bevy of peacocks. A stay here is enchanting and enchanted!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The setting is truly special—peaceful, scenic, and just steps from a stunning stretch of coastline. The beach and surrounding views were breathtaking, and it was the perfect place to relax and take in the natural beauty of Scotland.The location couldn’t have been better. It felt tucked away and quiet, yet it was incredibly central to so many places we wanted to explore. We were able to easily visit nearby towns, historic sites, and enjoy day trips without long drives.The home itself was charming, comfortable, and well cared for, everything we needed for a seamless stay. It struck a perfect balance between cozy and spacious, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring.Overall, this was one of those rare places that exceeds expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-located retreat in Scotland.

Wonderful Stay in Beautiful Location

We had a fantastic stay at the Little Mill - the house is in a fantastic setting and is well appointed. Thomas was a fantastic host, very friendly, inviting, and helpful. We walked down to the beach almost every night and found the location great for exploring the many castles of Aberdeenshire and for hiking in the Cairngorms National Park. Would highly recommend and hope to return here in future years.

Maybe a wee protection should be added on the wooden pilars upstairs to avoid wee dogs to fall.The owner nicely came to welcome us.Everything was great.Lovely visits from the local peacocks and geese.
