A light filled studio space, with large bathroom and balcony bedroom

Barns Bothy is a newly renovated and extremely comfortable bolt hole, in a beautiful setting. Comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, log burning stove and well equipped kitchen. Large garden and room to store your bikes. Lots of heavenly walks from the front door. Enjoy this perfect space for two people, or take Barns Library and Barns Tower, both next door for a group of up to 10 friends.
The space
Barns Bothy is light filled, warm and comfortable. A perfect place to hide away for a few days from the hurly burly of life. Plenty of breathtaking walks right from the front door, and a pretty garden to spend time in.
Guest access
Guests can enjoy walking extensively in the Barns Estate. The Arboretum is just opposite the Bothy, and there are woodland, riverside and hill top walks in every direction.
Other things to note
If the Bothy is already booked for your preferred dates, we do also have 2 other unusual and luxurious properties just nearby at Barns Library and Barns Tower. Both of these can be booked either directly or through VRBO.

Beautiful place to stay!

We loved staying at Neidpath, it was a beautiful, clean, and cozy cottage. We had all of the amenities we could need and loved that it had so many walking trails and was so close to Peebles. Everyone was very friendly and I would definitely stay here again!

Another great stay at Barns Bothy

This is a returning visit to Barns Bothy for us as we stayed in the Library last year for my son's wedding and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We returned to the Bothy in October for a lovely few days. Cosy accommodation for two with everything you need for a home from home comfortable stay!! We will definitely be back again soon.

Fantastic place to enjoy some quiet time.

Beautifully presented property, with great facilities, in an excellent location to enjoy the peace of the countryside. Lovely walks along the Tweed, including a walk to Peebles passing Neidpath Castle. Looking forward to going back.

Lovely stay at Barns Bothy

Excellent stay at Barns Bothy. We revisited it after staying in the Library for our son's wedding in July. The Bothy is a great retreat to get away from it all. The place was immaculate on arrival. Will definitely be back.

Relaxing short break

Have visited Neidpath cottages before but not the Bothy. Had yet another relaxing break in a lovely location. The Bothy is lovely and cosy for two and very well equipped with a private garden.

Wedding weekend

Really lovely weekend at The Bothy. Wonderful welcome pack - particularly as it’s quite far from shops - we needn’t have brought half what we did! Had a fun few minutes trying to get the fire fan going (instructions would have been great). The big problem for us was that having booked it on the Neidpath website, we assumed it would be near the castle - where we were attending a wedding. Having to drive there (and back) somewhat spoiled the occasion. A proper map on the website of the property positions would be very helpful - who knew that the ‘Barns’ properties are on the Barns Estate - totally different place?!

Barns Bothy

A warm welcoming atmosphere awaited where we found generous touches with bread, milk, butter, jams and eggs in the pantry. The compact kitchen was amazing and I will have one just like it when I get REALLY old!!!! The Highlander Company body lotion provided is a must for me even if it costs a bomb in Australia and the shampoo and conditioner were the best. Thank you for sharing a special place.

Pictures do not do it justice

This space absolutely blew us away. I don't know what I was expecting when we booked, but it wasn't this! Gorgeous, cozy spot, perfect for a little getaway, lots of nice touches. We absolutely fell in love and will definitely be back!

A wonderful short stay in beautiful Borders countryside.

Barns Bothy is a great place to stay. It is a well equipped, clean , comfortable haven for two. All the online communications were clear and helpful. The surrounding area is beautiful. The stairs up to the bed on the mezzanine are steep which I imagine could be a problem for those with limited mobility. We have already recommended to friends.

Its a stylish retreat

After a long drive the cottage was very welcoming - warm and cozy and well equiped. The cottage felt spacious. There were comfortable seating to relax infront of the very efficient log burner. It was nice to have a reasonable sized a table to eating at. The kitchen was compact but workable with all the expected appliances. The bathroom was suprisingly big. The bed was confortable and it was fun lying in bed looking up at the stars through the velux windows. We were visiting for a wedding at the castle (which was also great fun in a wonderful setting). One thing to rememder is to book the taxi to the castle - we used Gold Star who were prompt and friendly.

Wish we’d stayed longer

We just completed a three night stay at Barns Bothy, and our only complaint was that we did not stay long enough. Upon arrival, I found the accommodation to be extremely clean, well, equipped to a high standard, and even had some nice touches, such as Eggs, butter, milk, etc. I was also pleasantly surprised in that from the pictures it appeared more rustic than it actually was. A wonderful, safe location not far from Peebles, the space had a wonderful shower with plenty of hot water, luxurious towels,great Internet, and smart TV with all the streaming apps. Plenty of great walks right outside your doorstep. Check-in was super easy with a lockbox. Next time we will be sure to book longer.

Beautiful location, so peaceful and well kept

We loved our stay here, and our dog was very happy with the walks available on the doorstep. Actually we need a bigger space but the bothy was the only accommodation available when we booked. The bedroom area is so compact - nice once in bed! It was lovely to have a private garden space too. The bothy is so pretty and well designed and decorated especially the kitchen. Some minor maintenance would make the place perfect - oven and cooker hood could do with a deep clean or change of filter as there was a cooking smell as soon as either of these were switched on. If the washing machine door was attached at the other side the detergent drawer could be used, wobbly taps in bathroom sink. These did not spoil our visit and hope this is helpful feedback. We look forward to a return visit!
