What’s so very special about the North Mill?

It’s a stylish conversion of the old threshing mill at Meikle Trochry Farm, built in or earlier than the farmhouse, which has 1843 above the door. The new interior was finished in 2006. Since then dozens of guests have stayed inside. The love it! See their happy remarks scrolling over our web homepage.

Entrance on the ground floor, then up the stairs – lit by lights on each step!- to a sitting room, large French windows opening onto the balcony. From the well equipped kitchen within the open plan area you can cook, enjoy a cup of coffee of glass or something stronger while sitting eye level with the birds, cavorting red squirrels for the sharp eyed or simply sunning yourself.

For cooler evenings a wood burning stove throws out enough heat for even the chilliest toes! Books, games, TV, DVD player, my own ‘guides’ to the area, maps, family history – it’s all there, and more. A large window now replaces where the corn would have been heaved up. To absorb a flavor of when the North Mill was a busy part of a working farm, there is memorabilia and photos in the cottage.

Downstairs is a pretty bedroom with glowing silk curtains and colourful patchwork quilt over the king sized bed.. The bathroom leads off the bedroom and has no bath, instead a massive shower with a dinner plate sized shower head, and luxurious underfloor heating.

Craftily concealed by double doors downstairs is a washing machine and drying space.

Heating is electric and the cottage is so well insulated that we guarantee you will never feel too hot or cold. A small garden packed with flowers and shrubs lines the pathway to the front door. And you can wander all round our garden, sitting down where ever you wish adjacent to the wild flower meadow.
