Likes : Good value accommodation. Good location for cycling/walking plus easy access to Buckie and Fochabers. Large free carpark, friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Ability to store e-bikes inside, safely overnight. Dislikes : Hotel needs a lot of TLC much of which is relatively minor but continues unattended to, for years - eg general room decoration, very noisy door closers (hard to close then they slam), light bulb missing in en-suite, heavily overgrown trees at rear of property that rob rooms of light plus TV that had limited reception/untidy extension cables. Would like the hotel to offer smaller evening bar meals for smaller appetites. Also, outside the control of the hotel is the excessive speed and noise of traffic on the A98. Overall, a very charming, comfortable, enjoyable and easy going place to stay that doesn't need a major refurbishment (which would inevitably mean substantial increases in prices to pay for the investment) just some basic attention to maintenance details to lift it to a better standard.

The room we were assigned on looked so run down with molds on the window, shower walls and shower head. The carpet have stains. The room and hallways have a funky smell. We didn't stay the duration of our booked stay and have to look for alternative accommodation elsewhere

Thank you Millhouse. You saved us!

This stay was an emergency booking due to the disaster that was the eight acres hotel in Elgin which is a dump. The wonderful folk of The Millhouse not only found us a room but bent over backwards to help us. Special mention to the wonderful Janette who was wonderful. Ask for room 2 as it has a great double jacuzzi!

I was so looking forward to this stay. It looked unique in the pictures. BUT. It was tired and needed some attention for sure. The shower had mold in it and there is no excuse for that. An easy fix to replace. Just not up to the expectations it looks like.

I did a last minute booking, and it was a good choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious. The bed was softer than I am used to, but I slept well. The shower took a couple of minutes to get hot, but once it did, it was nice. I had supper there, and it was very good, as was the made-to-order breakfast. There is a nice lounge area to sit and have a drink. Spey Beach was a short drive away, and was a nice “pebble” beach walk.

The food was delicious. The chef deserves much praise. However, the property appeared somewhat worn and could benefit from some care and attention in the common areas; the bar chairs look dated, and the carpets could be upgraded. The staff was wonderful.

Overall our stay was very good. The food was well prepared and delicious tasting. The staff where helpful and eager to fill requests and there was always someone available if you needed something. The rooms are well furnished and spacious but the facility is older. The carpet and walls in the common areas show their age. There are some endearing qualities to this hotel. We stayed four days and enjoyed a couple of nice dinners in the restaurant. We did have a car to explore Spey Bay and Elgin but note that there isn't much right around the actual hotel. The fact that this hotel used to be an operational grain mill does make it a place of interest for those who like places with character and history. You can still see some of the machinery and they have a comfortable bar to lounge in.

Couldn’t fault the staff, and the food was amazing, but the property definitely needs some money spent on it. Stained carpets, damaged wall coverings, ancient decor in the bathroom, missing shelves, damp on ceilings, etc. The other thing I need to mention is that the rooms are up 3 flights of stairs, the restaurant is upstairs too, and there is no lift. It’s a lovely old mill building but needs some care and attention.
