Really unique memorable holiday place to stay, The Tower was totally as advertised, perhaps even better, great fun for a few days away. Lovely location with the most beautiful walk along the Tweed into Peebles and back. The Tower was cosy, lots of stairs of course, plenty or room for 2 plus 2 dogs. Loads of wood included for fires. ##### andrew W.

We walked into Peebles along River Tweed and through half-mile tunnel. It was fantastic. Grounds were beautiful as well! Well worth it! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 15 Sept 2025 #### Totally beautiful This is such a wonderful place. It is totally beautiful in every way. The design is stunning, a perfect balance maintaining the feel of the original character of the place whilst also having the comfort of all the modcons! A lot of flight of stairs so probably not ideal for the very young or elderly but perfect for everyone else! Also wonderful walks from the Tower.

It is a stunning historical timepiece. It is well equipped and the rooms are cosy. However, you need to be fit to climb the 4 flights of old stone/wood stairs. Also the doors are low and my husband bumped his head many times! There wasn't enough information about heating controls, hot water etc. Apart from that it was incredible! ##### KAREN S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendall W. 30 Aug 2025 #### A magical stay! Barns Tower exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a personal castle stay, but for only two people. This place delivered! The drive in is beautiful, and there is a gorgeous walking path all around that will take you to many pastures of adorable livestock to watch frolic. The tower itself is so magical I want to live there! From the old staircases and historical references and touches, to the luxury touches like heated bathroom floors, fresh eggs and bread, and a collection of games and dvds, this place did not disappoint. We will be coming back, all the way from Canada! ##### Kendall W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen G. 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### May 2025 The stay in Barns Tower was amazing.

That being said it can be challenging to stay there as there is a lot of steps to contend with as every living space is on a different level. Think of a lighthouse. Loved how it was decorated in period furnishings to give you the feel of being transported back centuries. There are a few modern conveniences though. The grounds are truly amazing and so peaceful. If your up to having a very unique experience this is the place. We're so very happy we did it. ##### Lynn G.

The setting, atmosphere, history, and accommodations were amazing! Although intimidated at first by the steepness and uneveness of the stairs. we adapted quickly. We appreciated the provisions that were waiting for us (and we made full use of them!) and we loved exploring the area. ##### Dan & Charlotte G.

It had everything we could wish for for an atmospheric stay over Halloween. We especially loved the big wood burning fires in both the kitchen and sitting room and we made good use of both. Exceptionally clean, with lovely walks in the surrounding area. We just can’t wait to return. Very cosy indeed ##### Loraine C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike E. 5 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peebles Paradise Amazing property located just outside of Peebles in the Scottish Borders.

We were looking for something unique and different for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. And we got it. We loved the authenticity along with the mod cons to make the stay comfortable. Peaceful is a word often used but we really found it here. The supplies left were a lovely thought too. Peebles itself was lovely to visit, very friendly and we had a lovely meal at the Crown. The evening was spent with a nice bottle of champagne and a roaring fire after another lovely meal at the Peebles Spa Hotel. All in all we had a fabulous time. ##### steve l.

We absolutely loved staying in the Barnes Tower! The decor was charming and comfortable, the bed was amazing and the location was gorgeous. It was fantastic to walk out the door onto the choice of wonderful walking trails whenever we wanted. The breakfast provisions provided for us were a welcome surprise as we never wanted to leave the tower to go into town. It was so peaceful and quiet and private, just a perfect retreat. ##### Jeannemarie S.

The tower was everything we could have hoped for and more! Clean, very well equipped and thoughtful touches of milk, eggs, bread and butter supplied. Comfortable bed, good shower and bath. Thoughtfully renovated. Just perfect. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy S. 14 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazingly Unique! What a unique and lovely stay! We have stayed in dozens of vacation rentals around the world and this one was the most unique. The tower takes you back in time to another world while providing all of the modern amenities you need. The rural setting, while still close to town, was so beautiful and just perfect for strolling the country lanes. Eggs, fruit, bread, butter, jam, coffee, tea, and shortbread were an unexpected treat. The only thing to note about this lodging is that you have to climb sets of fairly steep stairs to get to each of the three levels, so if you have mobility issues, I would recommend staying in one of the other properties available. We would happily return to Barns Tower or any of the other properties provided by Lulu and her team. ##### Amy S.

Great location with easy access to riverside walks and Peebles. Quite quirky practicalities around open fires., but they are a great part of the stay. Sitting room couch and kitchen seats need an upgrade, they are tired, but servicable. Bath in the bedroom is a nice feature. Definitely worth a visit. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 13 Feb 2024 #### A tower through time We were not disappointed by anything that this wonderful historic building offered. Comfortable but not contemporary and conveying a real sense of history through the very fabric of the tower itself. Closing the big wooden door gave us a sense of splendid isolation. We loved every moment here and all that the magnificent surrounding countryside provided. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 13 Jan 2025 #### Beautiful stay at Barns Tower We had a fantastic stay at Barns Tower in early January. Despite being very cold outside, the house warmed up well and was very cosy. It snowed, making it even more magical! Peebles is a lovely town with a nice butcher, pubs etc. to stock up on supplies. We loved being so close to the River Tweed and enjoyed a walk to Neidpath Castle along the river path at dusk, which would have been great for birdwatchers. The kitchen was well equipped and they had provided some essentials for us (milk, eggs, bread) which was much appreciated. Bed was comfy, the bath and shower were both nice. We didn't really want to leave the house but did venture out a little bit, enjoying a walk at Cademuir woodland a short drive away. It was pretty much a perfect stay! ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Moffat Manor Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Manor-Country-Park.h17709438.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh - Queensferry Crossing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Queensferry-Crossing.h1152983.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromlix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-Cromlix.h1580309.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenisle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Glenisle-Hotel.h2810774.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen of the Loch, Balloch by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Queen-Of-The-Loch-By-Marstons-Inns.h33716771.Hotel-Information) > > [Auchrannie Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Auchrannie-Resort.h4140916.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peebles-Hotels-Macdonald-Cardrona-Hotel.h909784.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels-Lochside-House-Hotel-Spa.h900570.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Huntingtower Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Huntingtower-Perth.h859382.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Glasgow-Hotels-Gleddoch-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h1502522.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tarbet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-The-Tarbet-Hotel.h13407451.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Portpatrick-Hotel.h13430754.Hotel-Information) > > [Bowfield Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstone-Hotels-Bowfield-Hotel-Country-Club.h1796965.Hotel-Information) > > [The Busby Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Busby-Hotel.h10004759.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [Traquair Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peebles-Hotels-Traquair-Arms-Hotel.h19958867.Hotel-Information) > > [Portavadie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tighnabruaich-Hotels-Portavadie.h11974275.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Kilbride-Hotels-Seamill-Hydro-Hotel-Resort.h1818213.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow East Kilbride by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-East-Kilbride.h520428.Hotel-Information) ---
