The Lint Mill

The Lint Mill was recommended to us by German friends when we were living in India. Eight years after their visit, it was still a highlight of their trip to Scotland. So our expectations were high, and yet this stay exceeded them. Colin and Deborah are so welcoming, and willing to share their extraordinary project with guests. The walks from the property are lovely, and the food both at breakfast and in the evenings mouth watering. Piglet bedding, and scones for tea. A unique property with a unique welcome. We are planning a return stay in the Autumn.

This is our third visit, but the first under pandemic restrictions and we felt every effort had been gone to for maximum COVID awareness and safety without compromising on the relaxing welcome you always get. The Lint Mill really is a wonderful place, and Deborah and Colin fantastic hosts. We will be back.

The information in your 23rd Edition of the British Bed and Breakfast guide is absolutely correct in all respects. While Deborah was not present during our visit, Colin made a terrific host and also fed us a fine dinner from his home produced meat and vegetables. What a chef!! His sourdough bread is unbeatable. We were very lucky to secure a night there and enjoy our entire wing of their charming house.

What a delight, Deborah & Colin have worked very hard to make this a truly idyllic location for their organic smallholding, and the same passion and attention to detail has been reflected in the guest accommodation, nothing has been overlooked and beautifully complemented with local artists’ work and Deborah’s stained window. We took advantage of the local cheese platter offer for a light evening meal with some of Colin's wonderful sourdough bread, this is bread as it should be. This is a rare find and we will definitely be back.

Fabulous accommodation, peaceful and perfect. Food cooked by Colin delicious. Deborah and Colin made me very welcome. I would recommend The Lint Mill to anyone who wants a tranquil beautiful place to stay.
