About this property

Stylish Scottish, book-filled getaway with beautiful walks

With the old world country charm of a log burning stove, and a huge four poster bed, Barns Cottage is in a beautiful courtyard, with it's own garden and a step away from fabulous walks in every direction.
Barns Library has a huge library of interesting books covering history, fiction, art, travel and much more. The four poster bed is particularly sumptuous and unwinding in a deep bubble bath has to be the best way to relax after a long bracing walk through the beautiful countryside.

3-nights stay
Very comfortable and spotless property, with many original features and nice little touches, like some complementary materials left to prepare your first breakfast. Great shower and "easy to keep going" fireplace. Good layout for a family of four. Plenty of books to choose from to keep you entertained if the weather gets you grounded. Parking right at your front door in the courtyard makes offloading and loading super easy even on a rainy day. Walled garden is only a short stroll away from your back door to safely let your dogs off lead on a ball chase. Quiet location, yet still very close to Peebles.

Wonderful night in the Borders
We loved the Barn Library, wonderful location, super furnishings and wood burner, beautiful outlook, comfy beds and glorious bed linen, fabulous bath tub and shower! Just a pity we only stayed one night.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting
Cosy, beautifully furnished cottage with real character. Lovely / dining area and peaceful estate and surroundings in general. Very comfortable bedrooms. We had some issues with hot water which apparently we should have been informed of. We have a few comments too, about kitchen items and the parking situation in relation to people who live and work on the estate. I will send a separate email to the admin office.

About the host

Host profile image
I love to renovate old buildings and make them available for guests to enjoy. Scotland is a beautiful country, and our corner of it in the Scottish Borders, is unspoilt and a haven worth discovering.

Why they chose this property

Barns Library has an enormous collection of interesting books for you to browse, whilst cosied up in front of the log burning stove. Otherwise, the surrounding countryside is wonderful to explore on foot. The beds are comfortable and the vibe is relaxed and stylish.

What makes this property unique

A huge four poster bed, deep roll top bath, spacious living area and plenty of interesting things to explore nearby. Scotland is on your doorstep.
