Heiton Mill House

"An absolutely stunning property. The mill has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The views over the river are fantastic and you can sit watching the wildlife from the comfortable lounge or the lovely wrap around balcony. The bedrooms are spacious and all with lovely views. Lovely cosy towels and robes in each bedroom from The White Company, which were wonderful. It really is such a beautiful place & we did not want to leave. The owners were extremely helpful and kind. We would definitely recommend C&C and Heiton Mill House."

"We had a wonderful week staying at Heiton Mill. The house is so thoughtfully and immaculately presented. It’s river side location is simply stunning. The owners were extremely kind (a freshly baked cake was left for our arrival) and accommodating ensuring our very comfortable stay."

"We had a wonderful time at Heiton Mill. The house and location exceeded our expectations! Everything about it was perfect and it’sclose proximity to so many interesting places a bonus.We saw the elusive otter on more than one occasion and enjoyed the heron keeping us company on a nearby rock. It is a very special place and Lindy was a delightful host from her nearby home. We would love to come back and would recommend it highly."

"We had a wonderful week staying at the beautiful Heiton Mill House - this was a rare occasion where we - as a family were all in the same country at the same time - well almost all........ The welcome from the owners was warm and genuine - with an amazing Carrot Cake that kept us happy for a good few days. The house is immediately welcoming - it is very comfortable. The view from the main living area and balcony is stunning and so very restful. The kitchen has everything you need to make meal prep enjoyable The living area level bedroom was ideal for granny - the upper rooms were all lovely, especially the Master Bed overlooking the river - the sound of the water at night was very soothing. There are excellent walks close by - we never found the access to the river bank from the house to walk into Kelso - BUT we also never asked the route......we walked in via the Viaduct - longer but a lovely walk on one of the rare sunny days. The location is ideal for day trips out - there is a lot in the area to discover - there is a little book put together by the owners to give you ideas on there to visit and some good recommendations to eat out. Scott's View on the final evening was stunningly beautiful. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone I know looking to visit the area and we hope to return when we are all back in the same country."

"We very much enjoyed our stay. We were very impressed with the the high spec renovation of the mill. Credit to the owners. We were lucky enough to see deers, otters, hares and various birds. Restaurants were only a 5 minute drive away and it was also good to eat in and appreciate the mill. It was relaxing. The owners were nearby but respectful of our privacy as well as making a chocolate cake! Highly recommend - what a fantastic experience being able to stay in such a special place."

"It was a pleasure to stay at Heiton Mill House. Eight of us had a amazing weeks holiday. The converted mill is comfy with all mod cons, probably the best place we have stayed in over 16 years. The owner was lovely and made a superb cake for our arrival, we felt very spoilt. Thank you."

"My daughter booked a stay at Heiton Mill for eleven of us (three generations) to celebrate the occasion of our Golden Wedding Anniversary. From being greeted by our delightful hostess to leaving on the Monday morning, everything was of the highest of standards!! The setting was wonderful, the decor and furnishings tasteful and interesting and the kitchen equipment was outstanding. We would certainly recommend this property to all our friends and family and would love to return one day. Maybe then we would see those very much looked for otters, although we did see the kingfisher!!"

"I just wanted to say we had a fantastic time at Heiton Mill House. It is a perfect property in so many ways: lovely big sociable living area with room for everyone to sit in a comfy chair; fantastically equipped kitchen; huge comfy bedrooms; great bathrooms; lots of storage space; great location with lots of interesting places to visit nearby; and glorious views over the river from the house – it was difficult to drag ourselves away at times! We’ll certainly keep a note of the property details and hope to make it back there some day."

"Herewith a belated note to say how much we loved our week in Heiton Mill House at the end of August. We booked it for our extended family, and I wanted to say what a wonderful house it is, and how much we enjoyed our week in this special place. The owners were just lovely (amazing chocolate cake on arrival, by the way!) and nothing was too much trouble. The house was brilliantly laid out and equipped to a very high standard - they had thought of absolutely everything.  It felt so spacious, and we never tired of the view of the river.  Our party ranged in age from 12 to 83, and everyone loved it.  The games barn was a great idea, and everyone enjoyed table tennis and darts (even grandpa, aged 83!) and the walks from the house were great - all on the level, and very easy, with lovely views. Several trout were caught by our intrepid teenage fisherman, and we enjoyed days out at plenty of local attractions as well as a potter round Kelso and Jedburgh. We didn't want to leave!"

"What an absolute gem! Idyllic! The location on the banks of the Teviot provided an excellent view of the great variety of wildlife. It  was very peaceful and beautiful. The house itself was one of the very best we have ever had (we are regular visitors to Europe and have used big houses for a good few years now). Heiton Mill House was as good, if not better, than the best of those abroad. The interior was superb: all of the rooms were very comfortable, spacious and extremely well appointed. The kitchen met all of our requirements and was very generously supplied with pots, utensils, crockery, cutlery and glasses. Also, there were generous supplies of items such as dishwasher tablets and of food staples. The public rooms were very comfortable and let us enjoy ourselves to the full. The bedrooms were beautifully appointed with luxurious bed linen and superbly comfortable beds and the bathrooms were equipped with the best of toiletries and bathrobes. The rooms were also very bright and airy. The owners couldn't do enough for us - excellent hosts. And wonderful bonuses were the flowers and the cake Lindy had promised for our arrival - delicious! A fabulous house, location, surroundings and hosts."

"We had a wonderful luxurious weekend stay at Heiton Mill.  The house was spacious and very well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view from the living room and bedrooms was stunning. We have stayed at a number of properties with Crabtree & Crabtree and every one has been of the same high standard and quality."

"We had a fantastic time at Heiton Mill House. What a place! It was so well stocked, there was nothing we needed. We’ve stayed in a few properties, we love to investigate them, and without a doubt this was up there with the best. Thank you again for a great stay, we’ll be looking on your website for our traditional Jan trip for next year too."

"Thank you all at Crabtree & Crabtree for your excellent service we had a wonderful break with friends and family in such a beautiful and peaceful setting. Helton Mill house is a truly exceptional property and we wanted for nothing, the standard of everything was first class, I could not recommend it highly enough. We always turn to you when we are looking for a holiday cottage and we have never been disappointed."

"We had a lovely time at Heiton Mill, it's a stunning property that you obviously put a lot of love into, in one of the prettiest places I've stayed with the river running outside your window. I've missed the river noise since we've returned home. The owners were really helpful and we'd like to all say thanks for a wonderful stay. Ps amazing chocolate cake!"

"We thought Helton Mill was fabulous. The owner was delightful and we had a thoroughly luxurious and perfect stay. So thank you Crabtree & Crabtree and to the owners for making it possible for us to rent such a lovely property."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Heiton Mill. The house is fabulous - beautifully appointed and very well equipped for large parties."

"We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It was a beautiful well presented house with more than enough space for 10 guests, the kitchen was well equipped as was the utility room with washing and cleaning products left for use if required. We were very presently surprised to find the house had books, magazines, board games, games and jigsaws for the kids, DVDs and a CD player for use. The owners were very welcoming and had baked a cake for our arrival and offered to make some bread which was very thoughtful and added to the enjoyment of our stay with these small gestures. We would highly recommend Heiton Mill House and would hope to return again in the future."

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Heiton Mill House. Everything was of a very high standard and very much as we would have wished it to be. This is the second time I have arranged a holiday let through Crabtree & Crabtree and remain impressed by the high standard of your properties."

"We are a party of 9 adults who have been holidaying together for nearly 25 years and have stayed at various properties in the U.K. and abroad. I can honestly say on behalf of the group that this is one of the best, if not the best property we have been to. The property itself was outstanding, well equipped and furnished to a very high standard. Whilst the master bedroom is fabulous, all of the other bedrooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable. Ours hosts were so welcoming, pleasant and obliging. The owner contacted us prior to arrival to answer any questions we might have and to enquire if we would like a home made cake for our arrival (which incidentally was delicious and she then made us a second). She had also told us to keep a look out for otters and we were fortunate to catch several sightings over the week. We had a fabulous week at an incredible property in a beautiful location. My only complaint is that it wasn’t longer."

"We loved Heiton Mill House. It's a lovely house with an absolutely beautiful outlook. The wildlife we could see from the windows was a highlight of the holiday. We would love to visit Heiton Mill again."
