Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Tell us the room size and we'll match the right model for Tighnablair.

It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?

Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Tighnablair can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Tighnablair?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
