About this property

Explore an entire castle whilst staying in historical splendour.

Mary Queen of Scot's chamber at Neidpath Castle is perhaps the most romantic place to stay in the Scottish Borders. Explore privately the whole castle and then retire to enjoy your suite rooms. The antique four poster bed, deep roll top bath and open fire evoke earlier times, but are truly comfortable and luxurious. An elegant table is set for breakfast. Peebles is 10 minutes walk away, with a host of shops and restaurants, as well as a museum and award winning chocolatier.
The space
There is a small kitchenette with fridge, kettle and delicious provisions for a continental breakfast. Dinner can be served by prior arrangement.
Guest access
Guests can explore the whole castle at their leisure. There is only the one bedroom suite.
Other things to note
The chamber is on the 2nd floor of the castle, with no lift access.

Amazing place!

It was really cool having a whole castle to ourselves for the night. There is clearly a lot of history here. Nice to be able to explore. Keep an eye out for the secret room! The price is very reasonable for having a whole castle to yourself. The caretakers we met were wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Peebles is a lovely little town where we were able to find restaurants and shops. Overall a great experience.

You feel very lucky if you can stay here

I really cannot put into words how priceless this experience was. It is a bucket list venue. My sons and I had the entire castle, to ourselves, for the night to celebrate a 21st birthday. What an amazing place. Katarina is thee perfect property manager...she has been there 20 years so she really knows every guests vibe and needs. It is truly a once in a lifetime visit...but really, you just leave, knowing that you have to go back. Thankyou for letting us learn about the history, and literally living it.

Extraordinary

Not only one of the most wonderful stays in Scotland but one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives! How often do you get to stay AT a castle? One that is so authentic, with so much history and run by staff that is absolutely second to none. We can’t say enough good things about this place, the comfort, the location. It’s the embodiment of this beautiful country and these incredible people. Thank you so much Sandy. We love you.

Romantic accommodation

We stayed in the Queen Mary Chambers at Neidpath castle for our wedding. The accommodation was the perfect setting for our pre and post wedding night. The room was clean and had all the amenities we needed. It is such a romantic and beautiful setting and the bed was so comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here.

Historic experience

Our stay was amazing. The castle and outdoor setting were so beautiful. Having the experience to be on our own in this incredible place was most memorable and truly was our best accommodation on our whole trip! (Actually for all our travels).We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the castle and our rooms were so cozy and comfortable. Our thanks go to the staff for a smooth transaction and a welcoming overview.. We especially enjoyed our delectable meal. What a dining experience! Thank you Gemma!

A magical and memorable stay

We took the bus from Edinburgh on a wet and dreary afternoon. When we arrived into Peebles and got to Neidpath, the sun was out without a cloud in the sky. I think that says more about how special our stay was than the weather in Scotland.

1st Anniversary stay

We were celebrating 1 year on from our wedding at Neidpath. Katarina had the chamber lovely and cosy for our arrival and fire ready to go, all we had to do was strike a match. We had a lovely little continental breakfast waiting for us with fresh bread, salmon, soft cheese and more. Staying in the castle and having exclusive access to the history of it's walls is a one of a kind experience. We feel for lucky to have a connection to Neidpath and it will forever be our happy place. Thank you for making our stay so special and memorable. Rea & Rikki Xo

An amazing, unforgettable experience

My husband and I had such a wonderful stay. Katarina was so very lovely and helpful. The castle itself is incredible. I could have spent all day just exploring inside. A really brilliant end to my last night in Scotland and something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Thankyou so much again.

Fun and luxury at the castle

We shared a magical night exploring and feeling pampered in our castle for the night. Host walked us through beautifully and left us to find the fun rooms and special touches throughout the castle. We had all the modern conveniences in a setting kept true to the original feel of the castle. We really felt like royalty. Food was wonderful too. Thank you Katrina for setting things up for us. I just wish I could keep this jewel a secret so we could book it again!

Our stay was everything we hoped it would be!

Our stay was everything we hoped it would be! The castle and grounds are well cared for and the hosts were great to visit with to learn about the history and how the castle is used today. This was a core memory portion of our time in Scotland.

A perfect night stay

We absolutely loved our night in Queen Mary’s Chamber, so comfortable sitting in the lounge with the fire roaring. Such a privilege to be able to also explore all of the inside of this wonderful castle. Also really enjoyed exploring the outside at night with the castle all light up.

Magnificent Castle.

Wonderful castle. The Queen's Chamber, Lounge Area and Kitchen had everything we could possibly want or need. The lady welcomed us with much knowledge of the history which we loved and were in awe of. The location and surrounds were very pretty and peaceful. A tranquil oasis, the highlight of our Scottish Holiday.
