About this property
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.

The place is magical. The most beautiful location on a hill, surrounded by grazing sheep. Close enough to everything. The place itself of the highest quality and well equipped. Do not miss the tour of Neidpath Castle!

Almost better than Barns Tower? Very nearly!
Having been lucky enough to stay in Barns Tower twice before and loving the area, I was disappointed that it wasn’t available on the dates we needed.
Scrolled through various sites and although some nice places for sure, none lived up to the magic of Barns or were quadruple the price if they did.
Had the brainwave to look at the Neidpath website and saw Townhead-incredibly available on our dates.
Spotting it on the drive through the farm was breathtaking for its beauty and location but inside was even better. It was beautifully furnished and finished, the history enhanced by thoughtfulness the whole way through. Perfect in its imperfections, an absolute pleasure and privilege to have stayed here.
The outside bath must also be mentioned. We hate the big plastic hot tub and wouldn’t dream of ever getting in one, the bath on the other hand, just absolutely amazing and with the views, just the cherry on top.
Must of course mention the treats left for us and the well stocked cupboards etc.
Already dreaming of our next stay. Highly recommend
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house. It is in an amazing rural location with breathtaking views from every window.

Another fantastic stay
My 4th stay, an amazing getaway / retreat, so well positioned for riding in the valley. Amazing views and peace and quiet! Cannot wait to come back
The place was beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The owners left us with some breakfast provisions as well. Can't imagine a better place to stay in this part of Scotland.

A lovely restoration. Really comfortable beds , beautiful decor,fabulous views, can’t fault it
We loved this place. Used to live in Edinburgh and this was a revisit to old haunts.
So sad we had 3 out of 4 days due to a member of our party having an unforeseeable seizure so we commuted to Borders General for 2 days !
We would love to return for a proper break!!

A gorgeous comfortable house with glorious views
We really enjoyed having views on all four sides and walks out the door. The house was really well equipped and of a high spec, with a really comfortable bed and opulent bathroom. We also loved the outdoor bath. We would come back!
Lovely and quiet, clean fantastic hot tub and fires

Fabulous.
This was our second stay and we weren’t disappointed.
The views, peace and quiet, comfort and warmth of this place are outstanding.
Will hopefully return again sometime soon.
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.

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.
I cannot fault this beautiful house with the Wow factor. Our family from California fell in love with everything, house, area and Scotland in generalThe hosts are amazing, they thought of everything to make the stay the best it could be.We will definitely be back

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.
