Description from owner

Description

Time, our Elliot Houses haven, to savour minute by minute, day by day. A charming, contemporary barn conversion outside Galashiels with sumptuous interiors and stunning views. A 5-star self catering holiday home sleeping up to 8 adults.

Follow the path of the river Tweed, then up hill and down dale – gorgeous – until you reach a hidden valley and the 2000 acre Elliot family farm.

Here nestles Time - immaculately converted, with great wide views over an ancient Borders landscape of drystone walls and rolling hills, all of which can be admired from lounging in Time’s hot tub in its own private garden.

The interior of Time is charming and stylish, with its double height sitting room housing a wood burning stove and a mezzanine snug for quiet moments. A separate spacious kitchen/dining room is beautifully equipped with wooden units and granite tops - a perfect spot for enjoying meals with friends and family.

A ground floor Super King size/twin bedroom with an adjoining wet room makes the house disabled friendly. All the bedrooms enjoy crisp white linens, memory foam mattresses, and soft Anta tartans and tweeds - a lap of luxury awaits.

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.

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 where you can enjoy the breath-taking view down the Caddon valley.

A BBQ is available on request at the time of booking. 

Check-in / Check out days are Monday and Friday, with a minimum of 3 nights stay over a weekend and 4 night stays during the week.

At Elliot Houses we strive to offer you a taste of luxury country living in the sumptuously furnished surroundings of converted barns and houses, offering boltholes in idyllic and unique settings. We look forward to welcoming you to our Elliot Houses portfolio.
