The cottage was quite interesting and quite reasonable, being an old mill and the location was good. So pretty good but probably wouldn’t stay there again though.Steps down to lower level were very steep and having to go up and down regularly to access only toilet on lower level was less than ideal. Felt a bit cut off from the outside by the small windows. Shower over bath is not as good as having a walk in shower.

We very much enjoyed our week at Lintmill and would have been happy to stay for longer. Such a characterful cottage. All very clean and comfortable - lovely to come ‘home’ to every day. The kitchen is well equipped with all that you could need. A plentiful supply of dry wood for the log burner was very much appreciated for cosy evenings. The bedroom we used was lovely with a very comfortable bed and pillows. Not a complaint, but the only thing that we think could maybe be improved upon is the bathroom. We were very lucky with the weather for the time of year and were able, sometimes, to open the patio doors and sit outside in the sunshine with a glass of wine late afternoon. The general ambiance of the place is lovely and we would definitely like to visit again some day.

Old Mill

We had a fantastic stay. The property is very spacious and airy due to the lovely Mill conversation. One of the most peaceful places we've stayed, just gloriously tranquil; an ideal place to unwind.

Comfortable converted mill near Portsoy

Very comfortable conversion of old watermill set in rural location about 1.5 miles from attractive Portsoy. Spacious.Quiet. But has internal stair which may not suit some.

We loved the old mill!

Our family of five had a great stay at the mill, we loved the building at the quiet and peaceful location. The rooms and beds are cozy, and we enjoyed the fireplace in the spacious living room. We would love to come back!

Ruhig gelegen

Sehr schöner und ruhiger Aufenthalt. Das Haus ist super mit allem ausgestattet. Jede Menge Putzmittel. Leider war die Küche extrem versaut, der Backofen total verdreckt. Haben wir erst mal alles von Fett und Dreck befreit. Der Teppich im Untergeschoss muss ausgetauscht werden, der ist gefüllt über 20 Jahre alt.Trotz allem haben wir unseren Aufenthalt genossen.
