About this house rental

With the old world country charm of a log burning stove, and a huge four poster bed, Barns Library is in a beautiful courtyard, with it's own garden and a step away from fabulous walks in every direction.
Barns Library has a huge library of interesting books covering history, fiction, art, travel and much more. The four poster bed is particularly sumptuous and unwinding in a deep bubble bath has to be the best way to relax after a long bracing walk through the beautiful countryside.

Staying at Barns Library during our friends’ wedding weekend at Neidpath Castle was an absolute treat. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful surroundings, the charm of the building, and the sense that we were staying somewhere truly special. The space itself was full of character. With walls lined with old books, beautiful wooden details, and unique vintage furnishings, it felt like a cozy literary hideaway. Every corner held a little charm, and we found ourselves completely relaxed in its quiet, welcoming atmosphere. At the same time, the amenities were incredibly comfortable and up to date. The bed was plush, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the bathroom was clean and modern. It was the perfect mix of old and new. Waking up to the views of the countryside each morning and enjoying coffee outside surrounded by nature was a highlight. Barns Library is only a short, scenic drive to Neidpath Castle, which made it ideal for joining in all the wedding festivities while also having a peaceful place to unwind at the end of the day. This isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s an experience. We feel so lucky to have stayed here and will absolutely treasure the memories made in such a unique and beautiful place.

The Barns Library has been beautifully designed and furnished and is in a perfect location to explore the Tweed Valley. It's reasonably well equipped and is basically clean but would benefit from deep spring clean to get rid of all of the cobwebs and maintain a high standard. Unfortunately for us there was building work taking place throughout our stay. The Barns Library and the courtyard is also a key working part of the Neidpath Estate and so we were woken up by 7:30am, (8:20am on bank holiday Monday) either by the building contractors or people working on the estate (strimmers etc). Not quite the peaceful holiday, catching up on our sleep that we had hoped for. In summary, great location but should be better for the price.

Lovely return to Barns Library, such a comfortable place to stay and great for local walks and drives. Can't wait to get back soon !!!

Barns Library is an excellent choice for a relaxing stay, in beautiful surroundings. The cottage forms part of a former agricultural estate courtyard and has been imaginatively converted, It was warm and cosy even during a January snowstorm. It was a joy to sit in front of the wood burner stove with a plentiful supply of logs and a great choice of DVDs and books from the bookshelves. The galley kitchen is well appointed with everything one needs. The team at Niedpath were very helpful and gave clear instructions as to how to get to the Library by car. I wish our stay could have been longer.

Stunning property, decorated beautifully, well equipped and thoughtfully designed. Spotlessly clean, couldn’t have been better for our dog with the charming arboretum literally on our doorstep. We immediately relaxed, enjoying the peaceful and spectacular location, perhaps remote for some but we were well prepared and enjoyed our walks into Peebles and the surrounding area. Will definitely book again. Thank you.

We stayed in The Barns Library for 5 nights. Everything about the accommodation and location is superb. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked again, but this time to stay in The Tower. Whether you want a nice romantic time with a four poster bed and a wood burner, and/or walks in the woods, this place is perfect. We cannot recommend it highly enough

Another fantastic stay in this beautiful property. Very comfortable, we loved the four poster bed. We can’t wait to come back again.

Another lovely stay at Barns Library. Delightful cottage set in a stunning location with good access to Peebles and the surrounding areas.

8.0 / 10.0

We had a second fabulous stay at Barns Library. There are just two things I would highlight. The lighting does really need to be checked as the wall light over the bookshelf is still not working and in such a dark environment it is essential and also atmospheric. The duvet in the master bedroom should have been laundered some time ago. It is not a pleasure to strip a bed and note that one has been sleeping under a duvet that cleanliness is not of the highest standard.

10.0 / 10.0

Having previously stayed in Barns Tower we already knew the high level of comfort offered by the team but were still surprised by how luxurious yet homely Barns Library felt. Lovely walks, drives, good facilities in Peebles town (coffee shops, bakeries, supermarkets etc) we had a ball and hope to get back as soon as possible

We had the most wonderful stay at Barns library Everything was perfect and comfortable We enjoyed our seven nights stay very much and the surrounding grounds and area are beautiful We shall return very soon

10.0 / 10.0

Very comfortable and spotless property, with many original features and nice little touches, like some complementary materials left to prepare your first breakfast. Great shower and "easy to keep going" fireplace. Good layout for a family of four. Plenty of books to choose from to keep you entertained if the weather gets you grounded. Parking right at your front door in the courtyard makes offloading and loading super easy even on a rainy day. Walled garden is only a short stroll away from your back door to safely let your dogs off lead on a ball chase. Quiet location, yet still very close to Peebles.

10.0 / 10.0

The accommodation was extremely cosy. Lovely inside and very clean. Well equipped kitchen and the welcome pack was excellent. Beds very comfortable. Good location for Peebles. All in all a very enjoyable stay with good communication throughout booking process We would like to return.

We loved the Barn Library, wonderful location, super furnishings and wood burner, beautiful outlook, comfy beds and glorious bed linen, fabulous bath tub and shower! Just a pity we only stayed one night.

10.0 / 10.0

Cosy, beautifully furnished cottage with real character. Lovely / dining area and peaceful estate and surroundings in general. Very comfortable bedrooms. We had some issues with hot water which apparently we should have been informed of. We have a few comments too, about kitchen items and the parking situation in relation to people who live and work on the estate. I will send a separate email to the admin office.

Lovely place to stay it had everything needed in a quiet private but not isolated location. Worth more than you pay.

Yet another lovely stay in the Borders. Cottage as lovely as ever with all facilities. Enjoyed amazing sunny weather so could relax in the peaceful garden. Excellent stay for us and very dog friendly as enjoyed the nearby walled garden for evening dog walks.
