August stay at Barns Library

We should have stayed longer!

We loved our stay at Barns Library. The stable yard, with its tower, was atmospheric and the library was in one corner. The decor was beautiful, luxurious and tasteful. We loved the four-poster bed and the book-lined sitting room, with its squishy sofa and log burner. The claw-foot bath tub was splendid and the shower was excellent too. The garden was sweet with a gate straight onto the forest paths, leading to the estate's walled garden. We didn't have time for any long walks but it would have been great to follow the path along the Tweed. Peebles is a nice little town and there were plenty of places we could have visited but we were there just for three days while we popped into Gretna Green to get married, so we'll have to return to do all the other things! We did manage to visit Dawyck Botanical Gardens, although we didn't have time to do that full justice either! Must come back!

The only downside was the slow response to questions

The Library was an amazing place to stay over Christmas and take the overflow of guests. They loved it. So clean and homely. Christmas tree a cool touch, along with mince pies. Wi-Fi was brilliant Surroundings, walks and views second to none Lovely and thankyou Claire

Excellent summer stay

Yet another lovely stay in the Borders. Cottage as lovely as ever with all facilities. Enjoyed amazing sunny weather so could relax in the peaceful garden. Excellent stay for us and very dog friendly as enjoyed the nearby walled garden for evening dog walks.

Beautiful place to stay

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

A delightful weekend in the country

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

short winter break

just returned from a short break at Barns Library on the Neithpath/Bans estate. The cottage had everything we needed and more, a lovely touch of food items to get us started. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and very clean. the booking procedure and subsequent correspondence from the Neidpath Estate office was excellent. Just 10 mins drive out of Peebles was Ideal and Had the weather been different it would have been a nice but somewhat longer walk(50 mins). We will definitely be returning in the future to either the Library or try out one of the other properties on the estate.

Stunning property

Stunning property, decorated beautifully, well equipped and thoughtfully designed. Spotlessly clean, couldn’t have been better for our dog with the charming arboretum literally on our doorstep. We immediately relaxed, enjoying the peaceful and spectacular location, perhaps remote for some but we were well prepared and enjoyed our walks into Peebles and the surrounding area. Will definitely book again. Thank you.

A Short Stay at Barns Library

Barns Library is an excellent choice for a relaxing stay, in beautiful surroundings. The cottage forms part of a former agricultural estate courtyard and has been imaginatively converted, It was warm and cosy even during a January snowstorm. It was a joy to sit in front of the wood burner stove with a plentiful supply of logs and a great choice of DVDs and books from the bookshelves. The galley kitchen is well appointed with everything one needs. The team at Niedpath were very helpful and gave clear instructions as to how to get to the Library by car. I wish our stay could have been longer.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting

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.

3-nights stay

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.

Great location, beautifully designed and furnished accommodation, shame about the building work

The Barns Library has been beautifully designed and furnished and is in a perfect location to explore the Tweed Valley. It's reasonably well equipped and is basically clean but would benefit from deep spring clean to get rid of all of the cobwebs and maintain a high standard. Unfortunately for us there was building work taking place throughout our stay. The Barns Library and the courtyard is also a key working part of the Neidpath Estate and so we were woken up by 7:30am, (8:20am on bank holiday Monday) either by the building contractors or people working on the estate (strimmers etc). Not quite the peaceful holiday, catching up on our sleep that we had hoped for. In summary, great location but should be better for the price.

Barns Library

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.
