Why it may suit a fishing party
Particularly useful for a private party wanting Edinburgh access alongside fishing. Chauffeur transport, a private chef and tailored excursions can be discussed with the property.
How it fits the fishing
The Old Millhouse can be considered alongside suitable fishing in its region, but a river name alone is not enough: individual beats can be far apart. Best Fishing Scotland can check the actual meeting points, arrange guides, permits and equipment, and build realistic daily transfers around the final accommodation choice.
Share dates, target species, party size and the needs of non-angling guests before either element is committed.
Questions to settle before booking
- Exact bedrooms, bed configuration and single occupancy.
- Meal times against early guide departures.
- Storage and drying space for boots, outerwear and waders.
- Accessibility, dietary, child and pet requirements.
- Deposit, cancellation and minimum-stay terms.
- Which fishing, if any, is included—never assume permits or a named beat.
