Fantastic place to stay
Spent a fantastic 3 nights in the mill with my son while we were visiting the area for a MTB holiday. Perfect accommodation for us with very secure bike storage and washing facilities, central location in the wonderful innerleithen and such easy access to all the world class riding in the area Graham was a fab host and very knowledgeable about riding in the area. Very good kitchen facilities, spotlessly clean, comfy beds and a great stash of cycling magazines to enjoy on the comfy sofas after a hard day riding! Will definitely return with the rest of the family and would highly recommend a stay here.

Family Friendly
Our party consisted of six adults and six children. Even before our stay the host was extremely helpful and sent us lots of useful information about the accommodation, local attractions and restaurants. We found the house very clean and the two level, open plan living perfectly accommodated the age range of our party. The bike store was extremely beneficial and the storage across two kitchens, cooking facilities, dishwashers and amenities also allowed us to self cater with ease. We will definitely return to explore more of the local area. Thank you.

Fantastic!
We visited as a big family group (adults and children) and really enjoyed our stay at Cleikum Mill Lodge. The Lodge itself is full of character - a lovely, spacious, clean building with everything we needed. The owner was very helpful and gave us lots of information about the Lodge and the area. There are shops and pubs within easy walking distance. The surrounding area, views and walks are stunning. We would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Brilliant place for a family getaway.
We stayed here over new year. Our party was made up of 5 family groups so we had the whole mill to ourselves. The place was perfect for us. On a practical level, there was more than enough pans, utensils and dishes for the 11 of us and we could all fit around the table. The upstairs lounge gave the kids somewhere to play (and eat sweets!) away from the grown ups, much to their delight! It's a pity the big kitchen is upstairs and the big table is downstairs, but given how the property is rented most of the time it makes perfect sense. Graham is a brilliant host and I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

Fantastic!
We had a lovely weekend here. Lots of room-two kitchens came in very handy. Lots of space to spread out and the place was spotlessly clean. Excellent location for exploring the outdoors whilst being close to local amenities. Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks Graham.

Perfect location and accommodation for MTB weekend
Myself and 9 others had a perfect weekend at Cleikum Mill a few weeks back, the milk, tea and coffee, not to mention cereal in the cupboards were all a refreshing touch for a self catering facility - well done Graham. We hired both apartments for which the bike room was perfect; washer, dryer and somewhere secure for the bikes, what more could you ask for....well that would be the well presented apartments, each with sky TV for those who do.... Out of all the self catering establishments we have used over the past 11 years of biking at Inners and Glentress this has been by far the best yet. We'll be back for sure and even possibly before the end of the year. Well done Graham Regards Kieth
