We stayed in The Barns Library for 5 nights. Everything about the accommodation and location is superb. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked again, but this time to stay in The Tower.
Whether you want a nice romantic time with a four poster bed and a wood burner, and/or walks in the woods, this place is perfect. We cannot recommend it highly enough

We had a second fabulous stay at Barns Library.
There are just two things I would highlight. The lighting does really need to be checked as the wall light over the bookshelf is still not working and in such a dark environment it is essential and also atmospheric.
The duvet in the master bedroom should have been laundered some time ago. It is not a pleasure to strip a bed and note that one has been sleeping under a duvet that cleanliness is not of the highest standard.

Having previously stayed in Barns Tower we already knew the high level of comfort offered by the team but were still surprised by how luxurious yet homely Barns Library felt. Lovely walks, drives, good facilities in Peebles town (coffee shops, bakeries, supermarkets etc) we had a ball and hope to get back as soon as possible

Very comfortable and spotless property, with many original features and nice little touches, like some complementary materials left to prepare your first breakfast. Great shower and "easy to keep going" fireplace. Good layout for a family of four. Plenty of books to choose from to keep you entertained if the weather gets you grounded. Parking right at your front door in the courtyard makes offloading and loading super easy even on a rainy day. Walled garden is only a short stroll away from your back door to safely let your dogs off lead on a ball chase. Quiet location, yet still very close to Peebles.

Cosy, beautifully furnished cottage with real character. Lovely / dining area and peaceful estate and surroundings in general.
Very comfortable bedrooms.
We had some issues with hot water which apparently we should have been informed of.
We have a few comments too, about kitchen items and the parking situation in relation to people who live and work on the estate. I will send a separate email to the admin office.

The Library was the perfect spot for our guests during our wedding at Neidpath - convenient, comfortable, clean, cosy. It is a charming mixture of old world style and modern comfort, lovely and quiet and close enough to the castle to be just perfect.

Ideal setting in terms of views and walks - the Borders is a scenic and often missed part of Scotland, it was perfect for a us on a much needed short break

The accommodation was comfortable, warm and cosy with plenty of logs for the fire.

Just a few areas of improvement:-
The rug in the sitting/dining room has a very large tear and I was constantly tripping over it - needs to be replaced !

The road into the property is full of potholes and there was an enormous pool of water at the entrance to the courtyard, where the property is situated. All could be remedied with a filling of hardcore. We had a 4x4 so we managed okay,

We had a fabulous tour of the castle and the lady was very informative

We did enjoy our stay but we won’t return because we like to visit different places

We had a wonderful stay in the Barns Library. It is a magical place; cosy, beautiful surroundings and lovely furnishings. The staff are welcoming and accommodating. It was perfect for making you feel relaxed which is no mean feat with a young dog and baby! It is also very well equipped if you want to cook. We would 100% recommend it to others and would certainly stay again if we travel up to Scotland. Thank you!

My sister and I had a lovely few days at Barns Cottage Library. The cottage is cosy and yet has a touch of luxury about it. Immaculate presentation, a real home from home. I would happily live there! A nice touch on arrival was to find some food bits had been left for us such as fresh eggs, milk, bread and fruit. Thank you!
The location is stunning. Right in the thick of some dramatic scenery and so good walking all around. Peebles is conveniently a 10-minute drive away and has lots of cafes, restaurants, shops, and a good link to Edinburgh by bus.
Wonderful! Would recommend for a family or couple, or a group of friends as there's several beds and 2-bathroom areas.

Beautiful accommodation in lovely rural setting. The conversion has been really thoughtfully done with good quality fixtures and fittings. Nice touches like the provision of basic foodstuffs and logs for the fire.
Please note the last half mile is along quite a bumpy rough road. Also worth noting that Barns is a bit away from the main castle, so is a 15min drive into Pebbles, rather than 5mins. This is noted in the information, but maybe not immediately obvious. Communication was easy and prompt. Would def recommend for couple and families. Our dog loved it to!

Barns Library is a charming cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. We loved the tasteful and occasionally flamboyant decor, the silent surroundings and stunning scenery. We enjoyed some great hill walks, riverside bike rides and a night at the theatre in Peebles. The cottage was well kitted out, and the owners had kindly left fresh fruit, bread, milk, biscuits, tea & coffee etc for us. All in all, a lovely holiday.

We stayed here for a short break in June 2022 the location was beautiful and very peaceful. The interior of the library was just gorgeous and also very comfortable with everything you need. There were generous extras including groceries, fruit bowl and toiletries. The grounds are stunning and the walled garden laid to lawn as an enclosed dog exercise area was great for our dog.
On meeting our host we can say that she genuinely cares that guests enjoy their stay.

We absolutely loved staying at "the library". It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We liked being able to go on long walks and really appreciated the map provided in the "guide book" showing us the local walks.
There were a few things that weren't perfect, but didn't really make our stay less pleasant:
1. It was a challenge to figure out how to lock the doors. We were mystified for several days - it turned out the trick was that we needed to pull the door shut very firmly because the weather seal prevented the door from closing all the way.
2. The toilets were quite old and finicky to flush.
3. The knives in the kitchen were not great and it was difficult to cut vegetables with them.
But we really loved the places and would definitely recommend it for couples or up to 4 people sharing.




We'll definitely return for a longer stay

We very much enjoy our stays in the Scottish Borders in particular we have enjoyed our stays within Neidpath Castle Estate, staying recently at the Library has been a pleasure, brilliant location and fantastic self catering accomodation. There is a quirkyness to the cottage with traditional features and modern convenience, its spaceous, warm and practical. The cottage is a brilliant start off point for any cycling and walking, close to the Tweed and Peebles along the road. Overall our stay was brilliant

This is an absolutely lovely place to stay. The location is excellent if you like fresh air and exercise, in pretty countryside. It is very quiet and peaceful. Ideal for a bit of relaxation. The high ceilings and skylight made the living room feel airy and spacious. Comfy couches and chairs.

The kitchen is well equipped if you want to stay in and cook. They provided butter, bread, eggs and milk; a nice touch and really handy.

Having the outdoor space with bench and table were used by us as the weather was excellent. (A sun brolly would have been handy as it was quite hot-we did have a hunt but couldn’t find one).

The owners had obviously thought of all we would require for our stay. The toiletries were lovely, especially the hand soap. The roll top bath was made use of and felt very luxurious. The hot/cold tap was a bit stiff though!

Having the log burning fire was nice to cosy up in front of in the evening with a glass of wine.

This is our second time at Neidpath. Our last visit was cut short due to storm Arwen. We were in the tower that time. The owners kindly gave us the choice of a refund or credit towards another visit.We were glad to have made the decision to return, and to stay in the cottage.

We had such a lovely, relaxing weekend at Barns Library. The cottage it’s self was beautiful, well finished and furnished. The wood burner kept the place cozy.
Make sure you arrive in day light as the road down to the cottage is littered with potholes (as farm roads are) and in the darker winters days it’s difficult to manoeuvre without scraping alloys.
This did not detract from my overall enjoyment of my time in Barns Library. I’ll just remember not to bring a sports car with low suspension next time!
Hopefully returning in the new year to checkout Barns Tower.

Barns Cottage was an ideal place to stay to explore this part of the Tweed valley. Easy access to several good walks.
The accommodation was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable, particularly the large bed.
The welcome goodies were much appreciated.

What a delightful space to spend a few days - its was very comfortable - especially the four poster.
The little extras like eggs, butter, bread and milk in the fridge made for a warm welcome.
The décor was beautifully designed and furnished thoughtfully.
We enjoyed the bucolic atmosphere and so grateful to be a stones throw from the river Tweed - I even managed a deep paddle one day from the shore area which was drawn on a very useful map for visitors.

All rooms were spotless and felt covid safe - my only criticism would be the well loved but slightly smelly sofa - stale sweat or wet dog - hard to tell.

All in all a lush environment inside and out - peaceful and relaxing - thank you to the Neidpath team.

Tucked away on the Neidpath Estate, Barns Library is a delight. Just back from a 3 night stay, the only disappointment was having to leave. Top notch quality, loved the unexpected essentials in the fridge, the bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate and super comfortable, and the books! Well, you really need a fortnight to properly enjoy them. Loved the variety. Beautiful grounds for dog walking, Lara loved the walled garden for a run about. I've been in many a rental and this is up there at the top. Towels, toiletries, logs a plenty. We were very impressed.Thanks, Lulu, a fabulous hostess. Hope to return soon.

Barns Cottage is surrounded by lovely countryside - the walk along the Tweed to Peebles is memorable, and it is a charming town with a host of interesting shops and at least one fantastic restaurant (Osso). The cottage is attractive, packed full of books - it's not a place for those committed to purely minimalist chic! The kitchen is on the small side, but adequate, and the bed was very comfortable. Lovely bathrooms!

Many thanks to Lulu et al. for being great hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barns Library, and we will definitely be back! Such a beautiful place, very dog friendly, it was amazing. See you soon, from the Paddock family.



A fab short break!

This was a great cottage in a wonderful location. It was so nice to feel we didn’t need to follow lots of rules and regulations, and could just relax



Simply stunning

What can I say... It was an important few days away after lockdown to rest and relax. It was amazing. I wanted luxury and it totally exceeded my expectations. From the furnishings to the interior design to the glasses cups dinner service everything was high end. The views were breathtaking. My little dog was in heaven walking along along and then being able to run free in the fantastic walled garden.
I would recommend to anyone. I will definitely be going again. It was a little peace of heaven.
Thanks so much team x

Great cottage perfect to relax walk or cycle. Easy walk into Peebles. All the special touches, ample wood for the fire, tea coffee etc
If it’s quality accommodations you are looking for and love the countryside then this is a must.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

We loved our stay in Barns Cottage. It's beautiful, super clean and cosy. The perfect Scottish countryside location. It was winter and cold but we enjoyed the misty walks along the Tweed River and walking up into the surrounding hills in the drizzle knowing when we returned we could light the fire. Lulu the owner was very welcoming and helpful. Liesje, Sydney, Australia

A very comfortable house. Was lovely to find some provisions there when we arrived. Would have been great if the heating had been on for arrival but this was quickly sorted.

I would recommend having a hoover in the property. Would have been good to clean up a bit after our muddy dogs.

Very clean and comfy bed.
We would come back

Thank you

Very lovely place to kick back and relax. Quiet spot outside of Peebles where we sat by the fire with our family and dog each evening. Just what we wanted and with picturesque walks on your doorstep we were right where we wanted to be.

Lovely setting. Charming, comfortable and cosy. Well appointed and includes a wood burning fire. It is perfect for putting your feet up and to relax but if your active and like walking there are lots of walks on your doorstep - particularly along the nearby River Tweed or on a disused railway track. If walking into Peebles there are several options but if going via the old railway there is a tunnel 600metres so take a torch! Peebles is a small country town with a great golf course and many cycle paths - if you don’t have your own cycle you can hire in Peebles - try cycling the tarred and flat! cycle path from Peebles to Innerleithen and back some 12 miles in total. For food the Crown Hotel .
Barns Cottage and Peebles are a must. We intend to repeat next year.
