The Old Millhouse

The Old Millhouse 5 star Visit Scotland rated, award-winning luxury rental home in Dalkeith, near Edinburgh, Scotland.

Situated 8 miles from the city of Edinburgh, and just 20 minutes drive from Edinburgh Airport, The Old Millhouse, Dalkeith is set on the banks of the River Esk, among 3.5 acres of private gardens. Originally dating from 1703, this listed stone house lay unloved and empty for a number of years, until the current owners rescued it in 2012 and began the huge task of sympathetic restoration. Today the

house is testament to their sheer dedication and hard work, and now you can experience their unique blend of old and new design by staying in this historic building. Our secluded setting coupled with close proximity to Edinburgh also make us an excellent venue for business meetings and corporate ‘away days’ during the week. The Old Millhouse is the perfect backdrop for film or photo shoots and can be hired on a daily basis during the week.

Rhubarb, Rhubarb!

The Old Millhouse was delighted to visit her good friend Preston for the HIT Rhubarb Lunch last Thursday. Sally (the boss) said she had a lovely time, catching up with old friends and chatting about the market and how we are all looking forward to a good year in 2025. Thanks to all - the organisers and the wonderful staff Prestonfield House

Our Story

Situated 8 miles from the city of Edinburgh, and just 20 minutes drive from Edinburgh Airport, The Old Millhouse, Dalkeith is set on the banks of the River Esk, among 3.5 acres of private gardens. Originally dating from 1703, this listed stone house lay unloved and empty for a number of years, until the current owners rescued it in 2012 and began the huge task of sympathetic restoration. Today the house is testament to their sheer dedication and hard work, and now you can experience their unique blend of old and new design by staying in this historic building.

The house can be hired for exclusive use and self-catering. Guests can enjoy full access to our newly installed outdoor swim, alongside our extensive gardens with private access to the River Esk. Our secluded setting coupled with our close proximity to Edinburgh also makes us an excellent venue for business meetings and corporate ‘away days’ during the week. The Old Millhouse is the perfect backdrop for film or photo shoots and can be hired on a daily basis during the week.
