About this castle / palace rental
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.

You feel like the owners really care and have thought about what a visitor actually wants. Beautifully designed, clean, quirky and fun. All you need to light a fire but heaters if you need a boost (we even found hot water bottles!). Eggs, milk, butter etc. waiting in the fridge and all kitchen equipment clean. It's your own little castle!

What a fab place Barns Tower is. From the moment we arrived we were enchanted by the place. Very well appointed kitchen, everything you could need. Sofa was so comfortable you wanted to never move and as for the bed, once your head hit the pillow you were asleep. The stairs were challenging for the first day but soon got used to them. This was a treat for a big birthday and I can say it did not disappoint in any way.

We had a 3 night stay in Barns Tower for my husbands birthday. It's a magical place beautifully restored, comfortable without losing charm.
Its was -2°c on our first night but the tower was surprisingly warm day and night.
The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable and the shower in the boot room is hot and powerful.
There are some lovely walks from the tower and the pleasant walk into Peebles with its many cafés, pubs and shops took just over an hour.
I'm sure we'll return for our next 'big' birthday celebration.
