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.

Peace and Tranquility

Absolutely loved this place. The property was exactly as described and the location was beautiful. If you’re looking for a spacious, well equipped and comfortable place that’s close enough to everything that Peebles has to offer while being remote enough to provide peace and tranquility then we would highly recommend this property.

Perfect home for a quiet getaway

My husband and I have rented many different homes across the world and this home is the absolutely best, by far. The scenery right outside the house is breathtaking, and the inside of the home is clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our week-long stay. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Magnificent cottage

This cottage was possibly the most beautiful we have ever seen. The view was splendid and peaceful, so was the house. The interior was tastefully decorated as well as comfortable. We were so enchanted with the place that we did not want to leave. If we come back to Scotland, that is definitly where we are going to stay.

Enjoyed our retreat very much despite the weather. Very thoughtful set up.

As above plus.outdoor tub was stacked differently from the instructions in folder. More info needed how to light a fire around a bend. Antique headlamps not good for bedtime reading great for other things.

A perfect getaway

Stayed for for nights in early November with my partner and parents. This property is amazing. Beautiful decor and from what it seems to say on the Neidpath website, lovingly rescued, restored and extended. It was a shame it was too cold and wet for us to use the decking area on this occasion. It ticked all the boxes for is. Rural, very quiet with no one close yet within an easy drive from all the facilities you can need. We've stayed in various places around Peebles over the past seven years and this is by far the best place we have found.

Perfect

We loved everything about our stay at Townhead from the glorious views to the cozy and thoughtfully planned house. Communication with the manager and the housekeeping staff before and during the stay was prompt and kind. The welcome drinks and food meant we didn’t have to run into Peebles when we first arrived. We unpacked and would have happily stayed much (much!) longer than a week. It’s a wonderful area to walk and explore but really, you’ll want to stay home and read or write or draw. Just go.

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!

Great getaway

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.

The Perfect Holiday Home!

This house is better than any other holiday home we have ever stayed in! It is truly wonderful with the most breath-taking views out of every window! Everything has been thought about and is nye on perfect! We were trying to think of anything to make it better…. A warm towel rail! And then I saw the switch literally 10 minutes before we left! So as I said, it has everything! Take your bikes and explore! It’s wonderful!

Perfect Stay in Perfect Setting in a Stunning Location

This house is so, so lovely. From the moment you see it as you wend your way up past the farm to when you walk in the door and see the beautifully decorated rooms, you will be beyond pleased. The view looking up at the house is stunning and the view from the house looking across the valley at daybreak is equally so. Everything in the house is welcoming and comfortable. The cozy living room with fireplace was a favorite spot and the bedrooms with ensuite baths were perfect. There is a gorgeous view from every deep window, some with views of sheep in the immediate back yard! We took daily walks in the lanes between the pastures. The drive to town was not too long and we were lucky enough never to meet anyone on the single track coming up from the main road!! I also want to mention that the communication with the booking office was exceptional! We had to move our dates and had questions prior to our arrival and the response was immediate and helpful and friendly and kind. We live in the US so I don't know when we will be back to the Borders but if we do come back, this is where I will want to stay! It is so beautiful. Shelley Watts

A Perfect Retreat.

Townhead exceeded our expectations in every way. The quiet, peaceful surroundings and wonderful views. The house is furnished beautifully, and very well equipped. Clean, spacious and the most comfortable beds. It’s easily the nicest place we’ve stayed in the UK. We visit the Borders/Innerleithen/Peebles frequently, so we’ll definitely book again.
