Pros: Well designed and considered with good quality, comfortable furnishings. Brilliant selection of books, and subscription TV services (eg Apple) on the Smart TV. Good quality coffee was much appreciated. The estate is beautiful, and just 10 minutes drive from Peebles which has everything you need for food shopping as well as some nice cafes. As an FYI for anyone who likes to know these things, the 4 poster bed has a very hard mattress and the twin beds are soft.
Cons: Some small maintenance issues - 2 bulbs were out, a tap was wonky, a radiator was knocking and we had to screw the handle back on a saucepan to use it. There is construction work currently going on in the courtyard.

Peaceful luxury stay away from it all
Pros: The property was exactly as described in the photos. I travelled with my 80 year old mother. She loved the comfortable four poster bed and the en-suite bathroom. We enjoyed walking around the grounds and cozy evenings in beside the fire. It was very warm in the property. The added extras were plentiful - from bath and shower toiletries to kitchen food essentials. There was enough food provided to make breakfast which we weren’t expecting.
Cons: Nothing at all within the property, but a slightly earlier check in and later out would have been preferred, especially on a short stay.

Lovely place to stay
Pros: Excellent place to stay. Cosy, comfortable lounge with wood burning stove (logs supplied). Good sized table suitable for eating together and playing games. Nice bathrooms, one with roll top bath, toiletries supplied. Kitchen is small but well equipped and has a full sized fridge/freezer. We appreciated the kind gestures such as the welcome pack and Christmas tree in the lounge. Walks from the house along the Rover Tweed. Short car journey to Peebles which has lots of independent shops and cafes.

The Tweed Life

Beautiful gardens to relaxing in and dog friendly. Great 4 poster bed and roll top bath. Very peaceful and at one with nature. Reading in the library very relaxing.
Cons: Would appreciate a non slip mat in the shower ... especially for older relatives.
