A unique and fabulous place to stay. We try to come at least every 2 years
A gorgeous cottage that we started coming to when my daughter was a toddler. She’s now 19, and we still love it. In a fantastic location that can’t be beaten, and within walking distance of Peebles it’s perfect. The cottage is beautiful, well equipped and comfortable. We will be back next year - just wish we could stay longer than 5 nights!

Unique and atmospheric cottage in the grounds of Neidpath Castle with lovely views over the River
We absolutely loved our time at Neidpath Barmkin. A truly unique and memorable experience. Wonderfully comfortable lounge with great open fire. It was so peaceful at night and the bed was so comfortable. Great rainforest shower and bath too. Everything we needed in the kitchen and a outbuilding with washing facilities and perfect for bike storage. Great walks and mountainbiking from the house. A really beautiful location with fantastic views over the Tweed and woodlands. Rachel and team couldn't have been more helpful with booking and queries. Thank you so much!

Christmas in Scotland
Amazing. Wonderful. Enchanting. We had a family Christmas gathering and it did not disappoint. There was even a decorated tree waiting for us. The weather outside was actually frightful but we built a fire and loved the time together. They even delivered more firewood on Christmas morning!

A charming cottage in the grounds of a castle!
This cottage was accommodation for our wedding party, but I would recommend it to anybody looking for a stay in somewhere special. The cottage sleeps 6, with a beautiful interior and a welcoming open fire. With stunning riverside walks on your doorstep and a stones thrown from village pubs and restaurants, it's a must stay for anybody visiting peebles!

Perfect
Very beautiful inside, loved the view’s across the Tweed to the trees on the hillside. The communication informing us of cottage key’s location etc excellent. The food in the fridge was satisfactory. The layout of the cottage was clean, tidy, not cluttered and sufficient room for guests staying there. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Neidpath Castle has been passed down through the centuries since the 1100s, when it was first built by the Frasers. Most recently, it was inherited by the Wemyss family in 1810 and is still owned by a branch of that family today.

Why they chose this property

The property was passed down the generations to the present owners.

What makes this property unique

Neidpath Barmkin, is uniquely situated high above the great River Tweed, in the walls of the ancient castle, first built in the 1100s. The Barmkin provides light filled, peaceful accommodation, with comfortable beds, including a luxurious four poster, and a cosy open log fire. Nearby Peebles, has a host of delightful shops and museums as well as a theatre/cinema. Day trips to Edinburgh, by bus, are one of the best ways to enjoy the capital whilst staying in rural peace.
