Perfect wedding venue
The Mill forge is the perfect wedding venue. We had a great time with the bride and groom. The bar/restaurant had a wide selection of items. All the staff were very kind and helpful in any requests. A short drive to Gretna town which is beautiful and plenty of little shops to visit. Overall a great experience! Rooms: Spacious and clean. Fully equipped with everything you'd need for a short stay.

Cannot thank them enough
Really enjoyed our stay and wedding day here. The staff could not have been more helpful in fact they were fantastic nothing was too much trouble. We wanted a very simple private ceremony with just the 2 of us and that is just what they provided. Can not thank them enough. We would definitely recommend a visit if this is what you are looking for or even bigger events.

Couldn't have asked for better
Rooms were clean and perfect for what we needed. Service was second to none and everyone made our day very special. The function rooms were cosy and perfect for a disco and the chapel was relaxed and a magical intimate space. Couldn't have asked for anything any better.

Great place to get married
Great place to get married. You feel very well cared for. Timing between individual weddings allows the focus to be on you rather than rushing through . Grounds are so well thought out and offers so many great photo opportunities. The staff are all amazing, especially Ian on the bar, and Pauline. They make you feel welcome and special as if you're the only couple getting married. We had an amazing day.
