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 Perfect Retreat.

Townhead exceeded our expectations in every way. The quiet, peaceful surroundings and wonderful views. The house is furnished beautifully, and very well equipped. Clean, spacious and the most comfortable beds. It’s easily the nicest place we’ve stayed in the UK. We visit the Borders/Innerleithen/Peebles frequently, so we’ll definitely book again.

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.

Stylish, clean, comfortable accommodation in the Scottish Borders with fabulous 360 degree views.

Really comfortable stylish well appointed cottage in the Scottish Borders. In a beautiful peaceful location with long reaching views of the hills and farmland. We particularly loved the south facing patio area where we could watch the lambs. Loads of great local sights including castles, riverside walks, gardens and Peebles only a few miles away for shopping and dining. We will definitely book again.

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.

Fantastic place to stay

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.

A short break in scottish borders

Outstanding accommodation and setting , a luxury self catering break in a dream setting displaying all the beauty of this part of Scotland. The accommodation was exceptional with all the the necessary self catering equipment and rooms at a high standard and of course the hot tub. If you're looking for a luxurious quiet rest with outstanding scenery I fully recommend

Stunning Splendour, Comfort and Practicality

Having stayed in another of Lulu's properties, I knew I'd be in for a treat when I booked to stay at her recently renovated 'Townhead,' - and I wasn't wrong. Lavishly decorated and practically equipped, including the wood-fired hot-tub, plenty of reading material and an exquisite en-suite bathroom, it's the perfect base for exploring the Borders.

Peace and Tranquility

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.

Perfect home for a quiet getaway

My husband and I have rented many different homes across the world and this home is the absolutely best, by far. The scenery right outside the house is breathtaking, and the inside of the home is clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our week-long stay. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Enjoyed our retreat very much despite the weather. Very thoughtful set up.

As above plus.outdoor tub was stacked differently from the instructions in folder. More info needed how to light a fire around a bend. Antique headlamps not good for bedtime reading great for other things.

Stunning getaway

We loved our stay in this beautifully restored farmhouse. The attention to detail was superb. We felt very welcome and the views were brilliantly therapeutic. Nice touches like stocking the fridge with milk, jam, eggs and sourdough was much appreciated. We will definitely be going back.

Gorgeous Cosy Cottage

This is was our second stay on the Neidpath Estate but our first in this property. It was every bit as perfect as the first. Comfortable, cosy, well equipped cottage with plenty of space and lots of quirky and classy features. If you want to be close to amenities this is not for you but for us it was a perfect, secluded location with fabulous views. We will definitely be back.

Magnificent cottage

This cottage was possibly the most beautiful we have ever seen. The view was splendid and peaceful, so was the house. The interior was tastefully decorated as well as comfortable. We were so enchanted with the place that we did not want to leave. If we come back to Scotland, that is definitly where we are going to stay.

Exquisite getaway - you won't want to leave!

The farmhouse itself is absolutely stunning with perfect interiors and great outdoor space allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape in any weather. Had a fantastic weekend here with family and our dogs, with everything we could need from an awesome books and DVD collection to the outdoor tub and walking tracks. If you enjoy the luxury of finer things in a tranquil setting - this is the place for you. Would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking some restful time out from busy lives (and some serious interior inspo!).

This was an old Farmhouse around 200 years old but when walked inside it certainly didn't look like it.We all loved it so much we hated to leave today.

Simply beautiful!

We had a wonderful holiday at this unique place! The old farm house has been converted into a well equipped and perfectly styled retreat. If you are looking for a quiet place in a beautiful surrounding - that is, green hills and sheep -, go there! Also a perfect starting point for country walks and visits to Edinburgh. Mind that all visits to Inns and pubs and the daily shopping are by car only. Drive carefully due to dirt roads (and sheep, of course :-)

This property is exactly as its description ,Tastefully furnished, communication with owner was first class. if you are looking for high class property in the middle of the Scottish scenery then this is it. lovely walks in the forest and Peebles is only a short drive where you will have everything you need. We will most certainly be returning for a longer break.lots to do in and around the cottage.
