The Old Millhouse: common questions

Details specific to this property, answered before you enquire.

How many people does The Old Millhouse sleep?

The Old Millhouse sleeps 5 to 10 guests across 5 bedrooms. Your booking is for your group only — the listing confirms exactly what is included, and whole-property exclusive use can be confirmed with the owner when you enquire.

Where is The Old Millhouse?

The Old Millhouse is in DALKEITH, Midlothian. You can see the surrounding area, and what there is to do nearby, further down this page.

How many bedrooms and bathrooms does The Old Millhouse have?

There are 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Ask the owner for the room-by-room configuration when you enquire so you know exactly how the sleeping arrangements work for your group.

Can everyone eat together at The Old Millhouse?

Yes — the dining area seats 10, so a full group can sit down together. That matters for a group booking, because a house that sleeps a large party but cannot seat it together tends to split the group at mealtimes.

What are the check-in and check-out times at The Old Millhouse?

Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out is by 10:00. If you need flexibility — particularly with a large group arriving at different times — ask the owner directly, as many are able to accommodate it.

Does The Old Millhouse have a hot tub?

The Old Millhouse offers a hot tub — check the listing details or confirm with the owner whether it is included in your stay. It is also worth asking how it is prepared between stays and any rules on use, as these vary from property to property.

Is The Old Millhouse dog friendly?

Yes, The Old Millhouse welcomes dogs. Confirm numbers and any additional cleaning charge with the owner when you enquire.

Is there parking at The Old Millhouse?

Yes — there is parking for approximately 20 cars on site. Worth knowing for a large group, where several cars usually arrive separately.

How do I book The Old Millhouse?
