About this property

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.

Ideal!
The Bothy was perfect for our stay in the Borders, peaceful and secluded, and we were given some nice extras like fresh bread and biscuits. Comfy and cosy, perfect for two. We will definitely stay here again.

We adored our stay over new year! The Bothy is a delight and so cosy. We loved the wood burning stove and the bed was so comfy. It was pure relaxation and we can’t wait to return

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?!

A beautifully maintained complex
The Bothy is situated, along with other holiday lets, in an old steading which is an interesting building. The Bothy had a lovely garden and could easily be fenced to provide complete dog security. The property has been beautifully maintained outside and in. As we were attending a wedding at Neidpath (be aware of the distance away) my wife was wishing to do her hair and makeup. There is nowhere in the bedroom to be able to carry this out, but there is room for a small dressing table at the top of the stairs. The bathroom mirror has been 'aged' so is no use for makeup application. There is nowhere to plug a hairdryer in near a mirror so getting ready had to be done in front of the mirror in the kitchen! The kitchen was well equipped but could do with a larger frying pan and some kitchen scissors. Edible goodies were supplied which was a nice touch but we'd already made our purchases as we weren't aware this would be provided. The bathroom was roomy and the bath a generous size. The basin taps were 'interesting'. The lounge area was comfortable and well supplied with reading material for a short stay. The entrance lobby was useful for boots and leads. Very close by is an Arboretum with some excellent specimens.

Impressive place
Beautiful place with everything needed for a long weekend. Very well renovated and decorated with lovely grounds and walks from the door, including along the Tweed. Immaculately clean too. Love to try some of the other options here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Lulu Benson

Host profile image
I love renovating old buildings and welcoming guests to stay and enjoy them. Scotland is an amazing country, and my corner of it, here in the Scottish Borders, is as romantic and beautiful as anywhere.

Why they chose this property

Barns Bothy, is a haven of comfort for two, where the bed has sky views should you wish to see the stars, and the log burning stove is heaven to cosy up in front of in chillier times. The bathroom is large and warm and the galley Kitchen is well equipped for cooking up a fine dinner.

What makes this property unique

Located in an historic Stable Courtyard, with lovely walks, right from the front door. Two other properties nearby, Barns Tower and Barns Library, can all be rented if you want to come as a group.
Peebles is a short drive away, or 40 minutes walk along the River Tweed, and Glentress, is a world renowned mountain biking Mecca just 10 minutes drive away.
