Tweed Views and Borders Charm

“If you're looking for a peaceful retreat then I highly recommend Windlestraw, a beautiful house set in stunning scenery. The hosts, Liv and Phil are lovely, attentive but not intrusive and my room was spotless, the bed exceptionally comfy and seeing deer passing through the garden early in the morning was a real treat. An ideal base to explore the local countryside or just to take time out and relax.”

“We had a lovely stay at windlestraw guesthouse. The rooms were very clean and nice and Phil and Liv were lovely friendly hosts. We had a lovely walk around the gardens, the views are amazing! We went into Peebles to do some shopping and had a lovely pub dinner.”

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Windlestraw House in Walkerburn while visiting an old college friend, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had traveling. This old and beautiful house felt like something out of a storybook. Windlestraw has a warm, family feel to it – welcoming and comfortable. The house is full of character, with unique details and a quirks that blends vacation with a sense of home. The surrounding property is expansive, with plenty of space to walk, explore, and just admire the grazing sheep and horses all over town. There are also tons of biking trails if you enjoy maintain biking! One of our favorite moments was walking by the Tweed river, where we were lucky enough to see salmon swimming upstream. The hosts were extremely accommodating and attentive especially when my husband caught a stomach bug and they provided all the remedies and even drove me into town for food for him. I strongly recommend walking thru the hills to get to Caberston Farm Coffee Shop! It was a quiet little cafe with great coffee and sandwiches. Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow down, soak up nature, and stay somewhere truly special. It is also family friendly and we are already looking forward to visiting again with our three boys”

“Had the pleasure of staying at Windlestraw. What a fantastic building with history. Was made to feel most welcome and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Also be sure to try the award winning jam.”

“Great place up in Scotland near some awesome walking/hiking spots. Lovely family who live there and host your stay. Would go back again!”
