Dimpleknowe is a small country estate, situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders within easy distance of Melrose and just over a hours drive to Edinburgh. We currently offer self-catering holiday accommodation in two properties. Dimpleknowe Mill, a stunning, two storey converted mill building, has been refurbished to the highest standard. Sleeping up to 6 people in three ensuite bedrooms, the accommodation is fully equipped for elderly or disabled visitors. Neighbouring Dimpleknowe Cottage, which is a modern and well equipped, detached bungalow that sleeps up to 5 people.
As well as offering top class self-catering accommodation, the estate also has its own informal Golf Course, and we offer reduced golfing rates to all visitors to our accommodation. Visitors to the golf course will find that it offers all the amenities that the less discerning golfer would want. If you don't have room to bring your own clubs we can hire you a set, and we also offer golf car hire to make your round even more relaxing.
The Mill has been awarded a 4 star rating by the Scottish Tourist Board. The cottage has also been given the Accessible Category 2 award, which means that it is accessible to a wheelchair user who is travelling with assistance. This also makes it particularly suitable for elderly visitors.
The Mill has been designed to offer all the amenities that are required to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, whilst being at the same time environmentally friendly and also maintaining the original character of the building.
