DIGNITY - Beautiful Barn Conversion in Idyllic Countryside with Hot Tub

Dignity – A Journey Into Luxury Country Living

Discover the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and tranquillity at Dignity. Situated in the breathtaking Caddon Valley, near Galashiels, in the heart of the Scottish Borders, Dignity offers an unparalleled experience of country living. This exquisite retreat is a beautifully converted barn, providing a unique and peaceful escape.

Named after a world-record-breaking Cheviot tup (a male breeding ram) sold for 1200 guineas in 1920, Dignity sits on its own private grounds, offering an idyllic setting and the utmost privacy. The property includes private parking, ensuring that your arrival is as stress-free as possible.

Step inside to a spacious and open-plan kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances. Gather around the elegant oak dining table and enjoy a meal while soaking in the stunning views through the large arched window. The two generously sized living rooms provide ample space for family gatherings, with comfortable seating and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Whether you're unwinding after a day of exploration or enjoying quality time with loved ones, these rooms offer the perfect setting. For entertainment, you’ll find an array of indoor games, books, DVDs, an electric piano, and even a guitar to enhance your stay.

Outside, the patio garden offers sweeping views, perfect for relaxation. Take advantage of the charcoal barbecue, indulge in the hot tub, or enjoy a picnic on the outdoor seating. Cool boxes and picnicware are provided, making it easy to enjoy a day out exploring the many beautiful Border walks or perhaps a peaceful stroll to the nearby loch, where you can try your luck at catching wild brown trout. If cycling is more your style, one of the Borders’ scenic cycle routes is just at the end of the road.

Dignity comfortably accommodates up to 8 adults and one infant across five luxurious bedrooms. Each room is thoughtfully designed with ample storage, mirrors, hairdryers, and bedside cabinets. The exquisite half-level bedroom boasts a super king-size four-poster bed, an en-suite bathroom, and patio doors that lead to an outdoor seating area, offering the perfect private retreat.

For added convenience, the utility room is fitted with a tumble dryer, washing machine, and hanging clothes pulley.

chilly holiday
Amzing property, very well stocked kitchen, lovely bedrooms and living rooms, worked well with different ages of famiy, Had a problem with heating the house while we were there which was a shame as it was a very cold week but the owner came and checked on us eventually and got the heating sorted on the last day which was a shame it took that long. the owner was very friendly when we did meet her, the hot tub was a nice addition and the fenced off area for the dog was really handy just outside the back door. Lovely area to walk round, amazing views so overall it was a lovely house and a lovely holiday just a chilly one. Would definitely go back.
