Sally and the old Millhouse are a real treasure. Sally has developed an amazing network of people and services from drivers to personal chefs to private tours. And her property is beautiful. It represents a lifetime of design and collecting that has matured into an exceptional and uniquely Scottish travel experience. Sally and her team get my highest recommendation.

This house was the most delightful setting for our family vacation. Not only is the home beautifully appointed and comfortable, the grounds are something out of a movie! And Sally is the most warm and gracious host I've ever had the pleasure of staying with. Stay here and you will not regret it!
