About this property
A glorious historic 15th century Tower, with modern luxuries added...
Authentic medieval mini castle with roaring log fires and all modern comforts. In beautiful countryside on the River Tweed. Ideal for exploring the Scottish Borders. Biking at Glentress 5 minutes; Edinburgh 45 minutes; Peebles nearby. Heavenly walks. If Barns Tower happens to be booked when you want to stay, we do have two other luxurious properties right next door at Barns Library (sleeps 4) and Barns Bothy (sleeps 2), both available through VRBO
The space
Enjoy staying in a cosy, romantic miniature castle with all the luxuries of the 21st century. There is a luxurious double bed on the top floor and a possible 2 extra single beds in the Sitting Room.
Guest access
Linen, towels, heating and firewood are included, as well as wifi and a selection of Highland Soap Company toiletries. It is possible to arrange a private visit to Neidpath Castle if you should wish.
Other things to note
The Tower is ancient with open fires and fairly steep stairs, so not very convenient for small children or those unable to walk.

The stay in Barns Tower was amazing. It is an unique, true tower building. The place was very clean, supplied well, and well kept. We also completed the Neidpath Castle tour with Lulu, and it was a must see tour. We were very happy with our stay there. Vic and Jen, Kansas, USA

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.

Barn’s Tower Experience
We can’t say enough about this incredibly special place. We found the history of the tower and the surrounding area so intriguing. The recommended walk along the Tweed River and the nearby arboretum were beautiful. Make sure to stay at least a couple nights.

Amazing property located just outside of Peebles in the Scottish Borders. A carefully and tastefully restoration of a historic tower, a must stay if you are looking for something unique! Our host was communicative and attentive. An overall amazing experience and we’ll be sure to come back again!
