About this house rental
Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends.
Howford House, Innerleithen, Peeblesshire, sleeps 12-18 in 9 bedrooms.
This elegant Georgian country house, Howford House, offers a stylish, comfortable and spacious setting for family holidays and short breaks with large groups of friends.
The house is set above a sloped lawn, surrounded by trees, and with an open view across the Tweed valley and the River Tweed. With a formal appearance from the outside and a relaxed air within, this holiday house was renovated and refurbished in 2016.
On entering by the front door, the house offers a grand hall which presents a mix of antique furniture and modern art, and this eclectic theme carries on throughout the whole house. The two front rooms are the main reception rooms, with an L-shaped drawing room and a classic dining room. To the rear is the country style kitchen and utility room, which can be accessed by a side door, making it more convenient for kitchen access with food shopping.
With ramp access to the side of the house, there is a wheelchair friendly ground floor bedroom, with nearby accessible shower room, with the entire ground floor being accessible too.
The rest of the accommodation is markedly distinct. On the first floor to the front of the house are the 4 main bedrooms; to the rear on the first floor are bedrooms that are classified as the 2 maid’s bedrooms; and on the second floor are the two attic bedrooms, which make a good family suite.
Among the main bedrooms there are three bedrooms with fixed double/king sized beds and the remainder can be either configured as twins or king sized double beds. The attic rooms are ideal for teenagers/children and have 2 single beds in each room. One with TV and their own bathroom.
The kitchen is an old style country kitchen with aga and additional electric cooker. microwave, 2 fridges/freezers and fully equipped for up to 18 guests. There is seating for 8 around the kitchen table.

We had a diverse group of 13, youngest member is 2 and oldest is over 70 years old. Everyone was comfortable and all our needs were met in the house. There are plenty of bathrooms and beds and places for people to hang out and relax. The kitchen is fully stocked and I loved cooking on the AGA. Elaine is lovely and she accommodated our early check in. The house is exactly as described in the listing and even lovelier than the pictures. We did a photoshoot on the premises and had a private chef for dinner one night and everything worked out great. Don’t miss Traquair House, it’s beautiful and their lunch options are delicious!

We had a wonderful weekend in this comfortable welcoming house. Plenty of space to spread out , or to gather together in front of you the fire. The house was beautifully decorated the weekend before Christmas and was an ideal place for a family gathering .
We would love to come again.
