5/5 Stars Airbnb Review - April 2025
Powder Mill was fully equipped for all our needs, especially the kitchen! The living area was lush and the house was so cozy and warm! The added little touches of automated blinds were a hit! Clean and set in such a beautiful part of Scotland, not a soul around. Very private too. Recommend the local beach and Bothy!! The Bothy was lush filled with homemade cakes and a fab host!
We had a wonderful stay at this place!
5/5 Stars Airbnb Review - February 2025
We had a wonderful stay at this place! From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel welcome with so many thoughtful little touches that made our trip even more enjoyable. The space was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was also very responsive and helpful, always available to answer any questions or provide recommendations. It’s clear they truly care about their guests’ experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!
