The open plan kitchen/living area is spacious and fully kitted out. Relax over dinner, sitting at a beautiful oak table, admiring the view through the large arched window. It boasts: an electric range cooker; a large fridge freezer with an ice machine; granite worktops; two tweed sofas; and a wood burning stove which makes for the perfect cosy night in along with the board games, TVs, books, and musical instruments all included in your stay. There is also a larger second lounge/music room (with a piano, guitar, flat screen TV and a cornered leather sofa) which is great for spending quality time with friends and family. In the garden you will find an outside picnic area and a hot tub, both of which allow you to appreciate and enjoy the peace and beauty of the Caddon valley.

With 2000 acres of our own farmland to roam, everyone will be happy here and we welcome children of all ages as well as dogs. Blackhaugh is home to a pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle herd and a flock of Chevease ewes. With countless different walks and cycle rides in all directions, there are endless possibilities of things to do without even leaving the farm. It is a wildlife paradise providing a haven for deer, foxes, stoats, squirrels, kestrels, barn owls, pheasants, partridges and so much more. Guests are also welcome to try and catch a wild brown trout on the farm loch (unfortunately, due to essential loch maintenance guests will be unable to fish the loch during the 2022 fishing season). If you venture 2 miles further you can try to catch a salmon in the famed River Tweed. There are 9 golf courses within 15 miles of Dignity and Time, and we are only 7 miles from the world-renowned mountain biking centre of Glentress Forest, with its great choice of green, blue, red and black runs. Travel the Borders and discover a land with a turbulent and romantic history, punctuated by imposing castles, elegant abbeys, stately mansions and dramatic ruins, many of which are within a 30-minute drive. With the new Borders railway, Edinburgh is easily accessible from Dignity and Time. Stow train station is 6 miles away and from there it’s only a 40-minute train journey into the city centre. No matter where your day takes you, it’s a comforting thought to be able to return to comfy sofas and a wood burning stove in the evening, or you may even fancy a relaxing dip in the hot tub.
