“Perfect Wedding Day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012
6
people found this review helpful

We got married at The Mill in December last year and we had a fantastic time. The staff were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The day ran so smoothly and it was fantastic having such a large bridal suite as everyone congregated in my room which was very special and I will always remember that.
I had Bill Black as my photographer and he was fantastic and I got my flowers from Gardenwise in Annan which again were perfect.
I would highly recommend The Mill - I was the only one getting married that day and had a fairly small wedding but it felt really intimate and they couldn't do enough for us. All my guests loved their rooms and the atmosphere at The Mill and we are so pleased we chose to get married there.

“My amazing wedding day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

people found this review helpful

On December the 7th I married the man I want to spend the rest of my life with the day was at the mill forge we spent 2 nights there having an amazing meal with close friends and family in our small party we had 17 people, the meal the night before was lovely and so worth the money and it was a lovely atmosphere another bride was getting married that day. The bridal room was lovely room 31 so personal and intimate. The day of the wedding could not go any smoother, the staff were amazing and really treated you with so much interest and could not go out of the way too help you enough, the wedding ceremony was lovely small and intimate with John Carr who was so funny, I had June and Rachael to do my hair and make-up and they were fantastic they made me look and feel like a princess for my perfect day in the mill forge, carrie my photographer was amazing and my pictures are fantastic I received them yesterday and had a tear or two, the wedding meal was lovely big portions and so warm, the kids portions were great and the evening buffet was lovely and plentiful. We also got the wine and champagne package and there was enough for everyone infact my husband and I took a bottle of champagne home. My day was more special and perfect than I could ever think possible the people from the beginning and this included me ringing for advice or questions to the end were amazing, they didn't just have a job to do at all they cared and they were so accommodating, professional and the service they gave was far more than I expected at all, you are all wonderful people and a credit to the mill forge. I admit I read the reviews before I came and what utter tosh and nonsense people have written about noise, lumpy beds - it is a perfect dream place and my day was fit for a princess, who spent the day captivated in a bubble and that's how you all made me feel - I thank-you from the bottom of my heart and my husband had better book our 1 year anniversary there in room 31- seriously ladies and gentleman thank-you sincerely xxxxx

Room Tip: room 31 was stunning and all my guests loved here family rooms they were like lovely so roomy and so...

“excellent staff and lovely location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

just renewed our vows at the mill this weekend, had a small party of 14 there and the staff were excellent, the place is a wonderful setting and the forge is a nice intimate place to get married. The rooms were very nice for the price and the breakfast was good. we ordered the buffet for the weddding reception and again this was very good. We would reccommend this location for anyone planning to get married or renew their vows, there is only one downside, if you could call it a downside and that is that there is no-where in walking distance to go if you are staying for a few days, but this isnt really a big issue, Gretna itself is only a couple of miles away and has a decent shopping outlet for the size of the village. Hope this has been a help and have a wonderful wedding if you decide to go there.

Room Tip: book a deluxe room over a double, only £10 more per night and they are a lot bigger with a 4 poster...
