Great place to stay. second year here - so far so good :)
Great place to stay so far this year.
Thanks for leaving such a great review- much appreciated. Dani, General Manager
The mill house can be a great space
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciated. Dani, General Manager
My friend has moved into here at the start of the month and what a scam it is. She is the only girl in an all boy flat, the front door doesn’t lock, parcels have been stolen as there is never staff on at the reception but by far the worst part of it all is that if you try to move out as she is at the moment, she has been told she can’t and if she wants to she needs to find a replacement and hold viewing ect or she is liable for the years rent. The staff have been incredibly hostile and all around a very not nice place. There are more problems such as the main bins not being emptied and the walls stained and ruined and when she asked for the walls to be sorted they said “it’s a student accommodation what do you expect” and this is for nearly £1000 a month for 1 room.
Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. Sorry to hear your friend is not enjoying their time at The Mill House. I would not normally provide a more detailed response to a review from someone that isn't actually the tenant, but I think it is important that there is an understanding of the issues that you are claiming. Firstly I would like to point out, your comments are fortunately inaccurate. Your friend lives in a flat with 2 other females and 2 other males. Making it a mainly female flat. I know a couple are still to move in so this may leave a different impression for your friend. We are not aware of any parcels being stolen, we do take parcels in during office hours and have a process in place to minimise potential thefts, however if items are left when we are not open this is the responsibility of the courier. Please provide more information so we can investigate. We have a tenancy takeover process which has been communicated to your friend and is in line with the tenancy agreement. We are not aware of the bins not being emptied as uplifts are carried out on a weekly basis. I would be very disappointed and incredibly surprised if any of my team made such a comment about the paint work. We do sometimes encounter wear and tear, however happy to review if additional work does need carried out. I am sorry that your friend is not having a good time at The Mill House, but I would encoruage you to encourage them to actually speak to us about a suitable resolution, rather than sharing incorrect information through various platforms. Its definitely a quicker and easier process to go through the offical channels to get issues addressed rather than spreading inaccuracy. Thank you Dani Calder, General Manager
Staff are very welcoming and helpful to your needs.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review- We really try to help with a positive environment. Dani, General Manager
Very nice accommodation with everything you need, great location.
We do have a great location, which is a massive benefit! Glad you are enjoying your time here at The Mill House. Dani, General Manager
Haven't been here long. Building staff are lovely. Gym is a plus. No social events yet, but some coming up
Thanks for taking the time, we have had a few social events and lots of freebies to help with your stay here. We have a lot of fun activities coming up! Dani, General Manager
Great, but expensive. Everywhere is expensive in Edinburgh though.
Thanks for the review, don't forget rent includes bills, internet, gym and any events or free stuff we are giving aware. Edinburgh is a popular place to study so we are in line with Edinburgh prices. Dani, General Manager
Great connections into the center with amazing wifi for digital self study.
Thanks for the reviw- We are in a great location to get a different perspective on Edinburgh and enjoy close links to a number of Universites/colleges and the city centre. Dani, General manager
peak site tbf, decent move in experience and close to transport links.
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate! Dani, General Manager
Perfect location to balance student life and city life as a heriot watt student. Great value for money in comparison to other options.

Thank you for the great review. Glad you have been able to leave such great feedback.
Great location. Close to many grocery stores (halal grocery store right next to the accommodation + aldi and Sainsbury's at a walking distance). Good wifi, gym, study space, social space, laundry etc.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review- that is really appreciated. We are in a great location. Dani, General Manager
This accommodation offers a good living experience with solid property management, though it is slightly overpriced. However, the location is unbeatable. The bus stop right outside the building provides a direct route to the city centre, making commuting incredibly convenient. Another great feature is the proximity to supermarkets. The ease of access to public transport and essential amenities significantly enhances the overall living experience. Highly recommended for any student seeking a comfortable and convenient place to stay!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and such positive feedback. Our prices are competative across the city with demand and facilities provided. We are in a great location which has so many benefits. Thanks, Dani, General Manager
good facilities and responsive to enquiries, laundry facilities can be improved
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we will take on board your feedback about the laundry. If you have specific suggestions please share this at reception. Dani, General Manager
well, nice accommodation, well wifi, nice staff
Thanks for taking the time to leave really great feedback. Dani, General Manager
Overall, I like this accommodation. I think it has good social spaces to spend time with friends. Also, really love the location of it, as it is located not that far from the city centre, near the campus there are two stores. Moreover, it is really convenient to go anywhere, as it has bus stops in a few minutes walking distance and a tram station in a 10 minutes walking distance.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Lots of positive things to benefit from living at The Mill House, Dani, Property Manager
Awesome place the staff is very cooperative the new addition iriie she is very good and nice
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Irene, has certainly been a great addition to the team. Dani, Property Manager
The Mill House is an exceptional student accommodation, particularly well-suited for international students like myself. The staff here are truly remarkable, offering unparalleled assistance and support. My communication with Taylor, hailing from Germany, from the initial contact to my arrival at The Mill House, was nothing short of outstanding. Taylor's dedication and competence are noteworthy, as he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of students. The entire staff is prompt in addressing any concerns, and they regularly organize engaging events and giveaways. Coming from Germany, I find the accommodation slightly pricier compared to what I'm accustomed to, but overall, it offers tremendous value for money. I reside in a spacious Bronze Studio equipped with a fully-fitted kitchen, which enhances my living experience. Additionally, the amenities such as the gym and study room are cozy and well-maintained. The location is unbeatable, with major supe

What an accommodation!! Would 100% recommend. I have lived here for two years and have no complaints. The staff are amazing, there are events and giveaways held weekly, great value for money, good-sized rooms, and modern shared kitchens. In addition, the location is incredible, Sainsburys, Aldi, McDonalds, and the gymgroup are just down the road! Bus stop 50 metres away. Overall 5 stars. I have really enjoyed my stay.

The whole team at The Mill House are very friendly, and welcoming. They are also very quick and attentive when it come to any maintenance problems. The area is perfect for a student accommodation with buses right outside the door and many places for shopping and socialising nearby. The building overall is very well taken care of and secure. The team put in their best effort when putting on events and helping the students here to socialise with each other. I love forward to staying here for the remainder of this year as well as next year! :)

Compared to the living status outside as of now in Edinburgh, for a student to concentrate on their studies, a well maintained environment is provided. The team is always there for you to assist in any problems and also conducts social events for people to get to know the vast culture that Mill house in itself contains.
Hey, Thanks for taking the time to leave us this amazing review! We love helping all our resdients and putting on social events for use to enjoy! Taylor, Assistant Property Manager

Thanks for taking the time to leave this brilliant review! I am so happy to see you are enjoying staying at The Mill House and would recommend staying here! Taylor - Assistant Property Manager

Thanks or taking the time to leave us a great review. I am glad to see you enjoy the events our team put on and hope you contuine to enjoy your stay with us! Taylor - Assistant Property Manager
Great location, amazinf value for the money you pay as the rooms are a great size and kitchen is very nice and clean and has everything you need, staff are all very lovely and kind will help you with anything, great social areas to meet new friends
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. It is always great to receive such lovely comments about The Mill House. Dani, Property Manager
I have been staying here for a month. So far I have nothing bad to say about the accommodation. The staff is very nice and helpful and the building is well maintained. There are three bus stops close to the accommodation and a lot of different buses you can take depending on where you study. I currently live in a studio and I find it super comfortable and spacious. I would have liked for the corridors and elevators to be cleaner but I understand it's a hard task with a place full of students who move in and out of the building a lot. The room I had was very nice except for a little mold on the bathroom walls and some stains on the walls left by the previous tenant. Overall, the Mill House is a great place and deserves it's reputation.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at The Mill House so far. The whole team really appreciate it Cleaning in a building this size can sometimes be a challenge, as everyone who lives here have a role to play in ensuring they play their part in keeping the building clean and tidy, but it is helpful feedback for us to review how we can try and improve your stay here. Thanks, Dani, Property Manager
Good accommodation, would recommend
Thank you for the review- We love to see that people would recommend staying with us. Dani, Property Manager
The housing experience in the Mill House has been so great. Prior to move in date, management and staff were helpful and responsive to our queries through email. They were more than willing to make the relocation into their properties as seamless as possible. Once moved in, the service has been 5-stars. The Quik app sends notifications of mail, fixes and maintenance as well as events. The social life in the mill house is incredible. I really love and enjoy living here!
Thank you for leaving such an excellent review. Homes for Students award winning app Kliq has definitely been a great help to students within their accommodation. We endeavour to put on a variety of events for our residents, to help with having a great time here and we have tried to ensure that when coming to live with us you have all the information that you need. Thanks Dani, Property Manager
Amazing stay at the mill house so far. Taylor and dani are great always happy to help with anything.
Thanks for the kind words. We try to be as helpful as we can be to help you stay comfortable in your home. Thanks Dani, Property Manager
I have really been enjoying my stay at the mill house. The reception people are amazing in helping out with whatever I need. The location and facilities surrounding the accommodation make it such a student friendly place to stay.
The team really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review like this and are thrilled you are enjoying your time here. Thanks Dani, Property Manager
Was originally concerned by price, but after moving in that has been put to rest. Whilst the flat doesn't come with items like toasters or floor brushes, the common room area such as the pool table are a nice addition. Good transport links for Heriot-Watt & Sighthill, less ideal for Merchiston & Craiglockhart campuses
Thanks for review. We do have excellent transport links here and we do endeavour to make the experience as enjoyable as possible with our social spaces. We do not suppy things like toasters and cleaning products but is something which can be shared amongst the flat. Dani, Property Manager
Very good service very friendly
Thanks for the review. I am pleased we are offering a good and friendly service to you. Thanks, Dani, Property Manager
Very friendly staff, good Wi-Fi for studying and chilling. Would recommend
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review. I am thrilled you are enjoying your time here. Dani, Property Manager
I have loved every second living here since September all the staff running the building are wonderful respectful and listen to every problem or concern I’ve had during my stay the location is brilliant 15 mins away by bus to the city centre making my commute to work nice and easy really looking forward to my return in September
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. We really appreciate this. We are thrilled that the whole team can be of assistance and support our residents. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in September. Thanks, Dani, The Property Manager
location is the perfect place for all universities, being exceptionally close to a bus stop allowing for travel times between their and heriot-watt in less than 30 minutes. the value is affordable and for it, you get great and clean accommodation with a service that provides as many opportunities as possible to meet people
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are always grateful. We are in a very handy location and we do our best to keep the property in a great condition. Thanks Dani, The Property Manager
I have loved my time at The Mill House this year. The management team are always friendly and helpful. Social spaces including the study room, gym, and social room downstairs are all cared for very well and all became very useful throughout the year. Also since I was situation in flat 78 on the extension part of the building we have very little disturbance from any other flats. My only slight complaint is the price of the accommodation, especially since this is rising again for next year. Everything about this accommodation is perfect including its location, but despite that have still struggled to find reason enough to pay the monthly price to stay here again next year. But overall a great year at The Mill House, I can’t thank them enough!
Thank you for taking time to leave such great feedback, although its a shame you will not be returning due to the price. It is difficult as our price is competative within the student accommodation industry, including all bills and wi-fi meaning minimal surprise additional charges, thank you for bringing this concern to our attention though. All the best for the future, and I hope your memories of The Mill house are present for years to come. Thanks Dani, Property Manager
Been living here for almost a year. This place is just okay, nothing to brag about tbh. The cost of a room is fairly reasonable, considering we live in a capital city. The general layout for an ensuit is spacially used well. The bathroom is small, resulting in a bigger bedroom. Use of desk space and storage is very good! Wardobe and storage under bed is decent. Natural lighting is good too as the window is large, creating a bright and airy space. Hygiene of the room was fine when I moved in, although had to clean the bathroom as there was mold from the previous tenant. You'll have to fork out for your own kitchen appliances like a hoover and kettle, as these are not provided. The money we spend is put on social events that no one cares about. We all think that half of the social space should be a mail room with lockers. All the mail is put on a table outside reception and not taken in when the staff go home, resulting in stolen mail. Hms for stds - get yee priorites straight :)
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review- Good to see for the most part you have enjoyed your time here at The Mill House as we do endeavour to make the experience as enjoyable and comfortable as we can. As I am sure you can appreciate we do have a lot of residents, with differing requirements and taste when it comes to where they choose to live. We do receive a lot of positive feedback about the events and free stuff we offer- over 70 people attended our welcome event and we try to ensure that we offer a variety of events to cater to a very diverse community. I understand the frustration of parcels, however whilst we try to accommodate and minimise issues, parcels is the responsibility of the receipitant. We do take parcels in when we leave however we are conscious that some deliveries do come after we leave which is the courier who chooses to leave them unattended or some students ask us to leave them there at their own risk so they can collect after we have closed. I am more than happy to review how parcels are held and come up with alternative ways of storeage to minimise theft or damage however the volumn of post we receive which in some cases may not be collected for some time can leave our storage facility quite full. If you wish to discuss further please do not hesitate to contact me directly or the site email. Thank you Dani, The Property manager.
Exceptional value for money. Would recommend it to a friend A wide range of social events and opportunities to connect and meet with other people
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Glad to see you have enjoyed your time here. We are keen to offer a variety of events and always looking for feedback. Thanks, Dani, The Property Manager

The environment is very friendly. The location is perfect, 10 minutes from old town with a bus. 10 minutes from my university. Inside gym. There is a medical centre just 5-7 minutes away from the accommodation. The stuff is really friendly and keep everything running smoothly.

This is the first year I study abroad and I truly feel like home away from home staying at the Mill House. My room is clean, the view is great, groceries shopping is handy. One thing to highlight is the staff, they are so welcoming and friendly. Whenever I have difficulties or problems they just always reach out to help and make sure I'm having a comfortable stay. Truly 5 star accommodation! Will definitely rebook for next semester.
Thank you for leaving such an amazing review. We really do our best to ensure you have an excellent stay with us and are thrilled you want to stay with us next year. We have some excellent facilities really close to us, which help with your stay. Dani, The Property Manager
Dani.Calder! My fairy godmother!! The only person I have ever seen in UK that kept working when it was 21:30!!! All staffs in the mill house are amazing. Their efficency and kindness are far beyond my expection. The price for my studio is also very cost-effective. Just don't hesitate to live here!
Thank you for such a lovely review, it is not the norm for us to be in, but as we have some arrivals we are doing all we can to ensure they get into their new homes swiftly. I hope you continue to have a great time at The Mill House. Dani, The Mill House Property Manager

Really nice rooms in a really nice location - bus travel to other parts of Edinburgh easy with a bus stop right outside the accommodation. Supermarkets are a 2 minute walk away so reslly accessible. Staff are lovely and ready to help with any issues. Rooms are spacious with plenty of storage space. With plenty of events it was really easy to meet and make friends with others in the building and flatmates. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your positve review. We are very happy you are enjoying your time here. Regards, The Mill House Team
Only acceptable as a plan B I’ve been living here for almost 5 months now and I don’t really like this place. Here are the reasons: - The draining system in the shower is THE WORST I’ve seen in my life. The water just never easily goes down! In the best case, you have to turn off the water every 30 seconds and wait for the water to go down and then repeat this until you are done with showering. In the worst case, even Mr Muscle won’t work! Even the maintenance person couldn’t fix it and I believe it’s because of the small pipes they’ve use for the building. For your information, whoever I spoke to in the building had this problem! So if you think you can take a relaxing shower after a day of studying, it’s actually going to go on your nerve badly! - The accommodation is on Gorgie Rd. which is a main road and there’s a lot of noise coming from the street. Usually there’s a lot of ambulances, police cars, etc. passing and the noise they make is too annoying (and imagine this happening

Can you please report the drainage issue to us directly via the Mill House email or come to reception to speak with a member of the team so we can investigate and try and fix the problem. It is not uncommon for there to be times where the drainage needs worked on in any property, which can be the result of a variety of reasons. Without being able to investigate we are unable to come up with a suitable solution. We are situated on a main road, which some of our rooms do face out onto, but we also have rooms available facing onto our courtyard or off the main road. Being on a main road does come with challenges such as it can be a bit noisier due to traffic- Emergency service vehicles do use this road as a route, but we cannot determine the volumn which will be compliant with noise control measures determined by local councils to ensure they access their emergency situation in a timely fashion. There are methods that can help reduce any possible noise. We do have benefits to this location however, such as excellent transport links to all the education providers and the city centre. We are also very close to quieter areas such as Saughton park and the Water of Leith. I hope we have been able to offer positive experiences for your time here, but we are happy to discuss further to help support the remainder of your tenancy with us. Thank you Dani Calder Property Manager
The best student accommodation you can find in Edinburgh with great location and services.
Thank you for such a great review. We really appreciate that kind of feedback and are thrilled that you think so highly of The Mill House. Dani, Property Manager
Great place to live in, social life is amazing.
Dear Member1264226 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a Review – every one matters! We do enjoy working here as a Team and we are glad you are getting the most out of the social life here at The Mill House. Many thanks, Donna Customer Service advisor
Everyone is really helpful and friendly. WiFi causes an issue sometimes, however, it's fine overall. The location is really convenient, however, it's a wee bit pricey.
Dear Member1364225 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review – we feel very rewarded when Students take the time to do this. I’m so grateful you find us helpful and friendly; we are very aware that many are far from home and need a warm and friendly environment, so we do the best we can. I’m sorry you have had a problem with our WIFI. This is news to us, as we have not had a problem other than once during a storm. The Helpline for the Internet Provider is excellent; we have heard nothing but good things from other Students! Your last point speaks for itself; because we are ideally located and our building is large, contemporary and houses Social Spaces, Outside Spaces, Study Space and a Gym, we believe we offer value for money. We are glad to have you! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
An excellent location between my University and the city centre. Clean and comfortable place to live with a group of friends. Security are good too.
Dear Member564224 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review – each one feels like a wee pat on the back for us and we are grateful! I’m very happy that you enjoy living with us so much. Our Housekeeper does take pride in their job and keeps all of the communal spaces clean and tidy. Our location is a great asset – on the same straight road as Heriot Watt University, Napier University Sighthill Campus, Edinburgh College and in the other direction Edinburgh University; with so many buses right outside the building there’s nowhere in Edinburgh one cannot get to from The Mill House. I’m glad you feel safe and comfortable here. Glad to have you! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
The Mill House is overall average except for the location of the property. As it has bus stops nearby as it's relatively close to both the city and uni
Dear Member464223 Thanks for taking the time to leave us a Review – we are grateful. I’m sorry that you find us just “average” when so many others have found us above average in different ways. However, you have hit the proverbial nail on the head referring to our location, as it is one of our best assets. You are right, we are situated perfectly for the Universities and for the centre of town. I’m glad our location has added to your experience as a Student in Edinburgh. We are glad to have you. Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
Overall, mill house is a great place to live in as it is located at a nice location, accessible by nearby bus stop
Dear Member764222 Thanks for leaving a nice Review – we are very grateful for every one! I’m so glad to hear you like living here and are enjoying the location – it is ideal and all the buses really help Students to investigate the whole city cheaply and easily. We are glad to have you! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
Excellent student accomodation
Hello, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review - so glad that you enjoy living here! Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
When I moved in here, I actually didn't know much about the place. But when my girlfriend and I started living here, I was so happy with my decision. I honestly love how friendly the staff is, and I really enjoy living here, and I've made amazing friends as well. All in all, 10/10 would recommend a friend!
Dear Gaurav We are so grateful to have you with us! I’m so touched that you find us friendly, as this is a fundamental element of our service here to Students; providing a warm and open place to live. Happy that you are with us! Many thanks, Donna Customer Service Advisor
The office staff are great and helpful and it's placed in a convenient area to get around Edinburgh.

Hello, Thank you for your kind review. This is lovely to read as we really do try to make sure you feel comfortable and at home while staying here with us. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
I have enjoyed everything so far since I have moved here. The staff have been incredible for helping me settle in considering that it’s the first time I’ve been away from my family.
Hello, Thank you for such lovely words. We are so happy to hear that you have settled in with us now. It can be daunting moving away from home for the first time but we are here to help with that. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
I have really enjoyed living here so far it’s a enjoyable place to live and meet so many different people
Hello, Thank you for leaving us a review. We have a great mix of students with various backgrounds staying with us here at The Mill House. The people you meet here might become friends for life! Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
The place is conveniently located — there’s an Asian supermarket right next door, an Aldi and a Sainsbury’s a short walk away, and a McDonald’s and Kaspas for days when you aren’t too keen to cook! There are two gyms nearby, and you’re close to Saughton Park if you fancy a walk or some fresh air.
Hello, What an informative review, thank you so much. There are plenty of local conveniences around about us here at the Mill House, Kaspas Desserts is definitely a favourite for a sweet treat. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Everything is excellent except the location is a bit far from my campus, the transportation is convenient though. Nice environment, helpful management.
Hello, Thank you for leaving us a review. The bus links around town are very convenient at just a short walk from us and a short journey to your destination. It’s great to hear that you are enjoying living here. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Lovely staff, always clean and it’s a nice environment to come home to :)
Hello, Thank you for your lovely review. We want to ensure our residents are happy here so we keep it clean and friendly for you all. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager

Hello, Thank you for reviewing us. We are glad to hear you are satisfied with your accommodation - Louise, our housekeeper, does a great job of keeping the place clean and tidy! Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Nice environment, near to bus stop
Hello, Thanks for your review. It’s super convenient that the bus stops are just a short walk from our front door - lothian buses do a great job of keeping the city moving! Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Very great management and friendly staff!

Hello, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are glad to hear that you enjoy staying here with us and it's always lovely to hear positive feedback about the team! Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley Customer Service Advisor
Fantastic location, great space and facilities, very friendly staff! Would highly recommend staying here!

Great accommodation !! Lovely staff and a great place to live 🤩🤩
Hello, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review! We are really glad to hear that you enjoy living here and that the team are looking after you. Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley Customer Service Advisor
The millhouse is in a great location , very clean building , rooms are spacious and comfortable as well as the kitchen/ living area. the staff are amazing, super helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend the millhouse.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review! It is great to hear that you would recommend us- we put a lot of effort into making The Millhouse a home away from home for our students. We are in a great location for several campuses which are close by and also for catching a bus to almost anywhere in the city! Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley Customer Service Advisor
The staff are super friendly and always happy to help no matter what the issue (personally I had a flat mate issue and they helped me move without any hassle). With Covid19 hitting everyone it's nice to know there is always a friendly face during office hours who you can speak to. Rooms have the perfect amount of storage space, under the bed and in shelving space. The Kitchen is a great space to have a cuppa and chat with your flatmates or to do your work if you don't want to be stuck in your room. The accommodation has a gym, social space and study area. While I have personally not been able to make use of these spaces due to the current circumstances it is still nice to know they are there had this not been the case. We live right on a bus route so easy to get into town I think it takes about 20mins, Aldi is a 5 min stroll down the road and if you are an MGA student like myself the Balgreen Campus is only a 5 Min walk away, perfect if you're running late!
Hello, What a lovely review to read just as my working day is coming to close! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a personal and detailed review, its always heartwarming to receive such great feedback. We do try our very best to make all our residents feel at home within The Mill house and help as best we can in any given situation. Sometimes it is not always possible, but where there is a will theres a way. Please be rest assured that the social spaces and gym are patiently waiting to be re-opened again once restrictions allow - hopefully by the end of April, fingers crossed. Then the MGA students will have all the space to sing and dance until their hearts are content. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Great location close to city centre,shops and colleges/universities. Rooms are nice also
Hello, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are situated in a very good location with lots of local amenities around us, along with good bus routes to Universites and a short distance to the city centre!

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. We are so glad to hear that you enjoy living with us and it is always so nice to receive positive feedback about the team - we are happy to help! Many thanks, Lauren Lee
Good although we don’t have use of all areas
Hello, Thank you for taking some time to review your experience here at The Mill house. In normal circumstances all social areas of the building would be open 24/7, however in order to keep everyone safe during this current pandemic we have kept these closed as per Scottish Government advice. Hopefully restrictions will be eased shortly and these areas can then be re-opened. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
nice rooms, very spacious. unrealistic price due to covid restrictions.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience of living at The Mill House. As per Scottish Government guidance we have closed our social spaces in order to keep our residents safe and minimise the spread of Covid-19. I can appreciate this is frustrating for you, however I am confident we will be able to open these spaces in the coming months once lockdown restrictions begin to lessen. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
The accommodation is very nice and spacious, however I do not believe it is worth the amount of rent per month. I think that we should have had a reduced rent due to the fact that we are not permitted to use any social spaces. Location is good for Napier Campus with many good bus routes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Our location is very handy for many of the local Universities and Lothian buses provide such a brilliant service around Edinburgh. As I am sure you can appreciate due to Scottish Government guidelines we are unable to have our gym, study room and social space open - however these are all ready and waiting for when current restrictions are eased! Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
The location of the accommodation is good for being local to everything.
Hello, Thank you for your review. We are located in a great part of the city with plenty of public transport and all the local amenitities you might need. We also have a great view of the city from our top floors. Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley
Rooms and kitchen are lovely and a nice layout. No comment to be made about social spaces due to coronavirus restrictions however, from view are good quality.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, its always so lovely to receive such positive feedback. As per Scottish Government guidelines we are unable to have our social spaces open at the moment, however they are ready and waiting for when the restrictions are eased! Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Many thanks, Laura Smith Property Manager
Accommodation is good and made good friends here, can’t comment on social spaces because of covid but overall had a great experience
Hello, It's so lovely to hear that you have made friends here, it really brightens your whole experience being able to share it with friends. We hope to have our social spaces up and running again as soon as it is safe to do so and the Scottish Governemnet guidelines allow this. Kind Regards, Rachel Wimberley
Love the accommodation. There is a great ambience and also people who stay here are friendly. The property is value for money for the students.

The room looks pretty great, the only problem I found is that the kitchen is not very good equipped. There is no toaster or kettle, which I think are neccesities.
