Townhead Farmhouse - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Townhead is an unexpected and luxurious surprise, when you step inside. Wood panelling, eclectic colours and stylish details all combine to make this a real treat of an escape. Upstairs there is an enormous four poster bed and a bathroom with a real open fire. Downstairs, the airy twin bedroom, has a huge ensuite shower room and glass doors onto a terrace with a large outdoor, log-fired bath.
The kitchen is well equipped with a hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine and large fridge/freezer. The table has excellent views to the south and the Roberts Speaker, means you can connect your device and listen to your favourite tunes. The sitting room has an open log fire, comfortable sofa, TV and DVD player.
Library shelves in the high ceilinged hall, house a large variety of books and DVDs for guests to enjoy and there is a desk by the window, perfect for writing that novel, or just catching up with emails. Super fast fibre broadband is connected.
Outside, the west facing terrace is perfect for an evening drink or BBQ. Light the Hikki, wood-fired hot tub and soak away the cares of the world. Great walks go in every direction, right from the door, and if you crave the sense of being away from it all, whilst stil being connected, Townhead is a slice of heaven.
There are two well appointed ensuite bedrooms. Upstairs, the four poster bed is straight from a Jane Austen book and the bathroom beyond has a real wood fire and comfortable armchair for some uplifiting boudoir living. Tune into the Roberts Radio, or connect your own device to play tunes via Bluetooth.
Downstairs, the zip & link twin beds can be made into a double on request. The ensuite shower is enormous and when you slide back the window, you step out onto the generous decking and into the Hikki Hot Tub.

A lovely restoration. Really comfortable beds , beautiful decor,fabulous views, can’t fault it
We loved this place. Used to live in Edinburgh and this was a revisit to old haunts.
So sad we had 3 out of 4 days due to a member of our party having an unforeseeable seizure so we commuted to Borders General for 2 days !
We would love to return for a proper break!!
The place was beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The owners left us with some breakfast provisions as well. Can't imagine a better place to stay in this part of Scotland.

A gorgeous comfortable house with glorious views
We really enjoyed having views on all four sides and walks out the door. The house was really well equipped and of a high spec, with a really comfortable bed and opulent bathroom. We also loved the outdoor bath. We would come back!
The best house we have ever rented! I can say a lot of things, but I don’t. You have to see yourself. The house is perfect!

Townhead
The place was absolutely stunning! We enjoyed a relaxing two days basking in its beauty. Incredible views, great location, and reasonably easy to find. Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful property in a stunning location. Really comfortable - we didn't want to leave. The outdoor bath was good fun, especially when the weather went downhill. Just 10mins from Peebles so a really handy location. The kids loved it too.

An exceptional home.
Townhead is an exceptional home for comfort and elegance. We enjoyed our stay with friends, quiet and peaceful location, a short drive to Peebles and Innerleithen.
We enjoyed it so much we have booked for a few days in Summer 2024.

Delightful albeit remote
A very beautiful house with excellent facilities and wonderful views. Much as we loved the location, however, it is quite remote so not a place to stay if you like to pop into town often.

Townhead Farmhouse a lovely home from home place to unwind
Townhead is a beautiful rural retreat perfect for a few days relaxing and visiting the local border towns.
They have thought of everything for your stay, including a few essential items on arrival ie. Bread, milk etc and are happy to help if you need anything.
On approach there’s a long farm track which is clearly stated on the website, and having stayed at Townhead twice it is a very minor thing. Infact the location is only 10 minutes drive from Peebles town centre and all its amenities.
The farmhouse exterior is idyllic and internally the decor is equally stunning. We especially love the main bedroom suite which spans the entirety of the first floor, with a four poster bed and luxurious bathroom which even has a period working fireplace!
We had snow on our last visit and the rural setting looked stunning and the roaring sitting room fire was so cosy and relaxing. Definitely the ideal place to wind down and relax.

Neidpath Castle Townhead of Lyne
Fabulous property, just what we needed a brilliant retreat for recharging the batteries and getting away. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this place. The property was exactly as described and the location was beautiful. If you’re looking for a spacious, well equipped and comfortable place that’s close enough to everything that Peebles has to offer while being remote enough to provide peace and tranquility then we would highly recommend this property.
