A very memorable stay at Neidpath
We stayed in the Barmkin adjacent to the castle and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Upon arrival there was a power outage however this was swiftly dealt with by Scottish Power who installed a generator which ran faultlessly through the night until mains power was restored.
Sandy and Katarina were both very helpful and made us welcome with nothing being too much trouble.
We loved our stay at Neidpath and hope to return at some point soon.

Nighy away
We had a lovely romantic stay at Neidpath Castle. The staff at Neidpath Castle couldn’t have done enough for us,
Very comfortable bed & we slept quite well. The ghost didn’t bother us. We’ve stayed at castle before so I guess the ghost remembered us.

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.

Unforgettable
Like most we have a budget when traveling. Yet still, I like the occasional splurge on really good accommodation. So when planning our trip to Scotland I did look at the high end hotels in Edinburgh and they were nice. But then I found Neidpath. An authentic (not Disney) castle beautifully decorated, we could have all to ourselves. Such a unique experience. I doubt you’ll find anywhere else. A lovely self catered breakfast provided for the next morning and the lovely neighbouring town of Peebles to explore as well. If you have any interest at all in history, you need to book this now.

A magical stay for our wedding
Absolutely adored staying here - we were a little worried at first with it being so old that we might have to make some accommodations but it was really exceptionally comfortable, cosy and warm. Loved every minute and it made our wedding morning extra special to wake up and sit by the fire in the sitting room. We will be back!

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.

Wonderful
We enjoyed our stay immensely! It was so nice to be able to wander around the castle at our own pace exploring. Katarina who checked us in, gave us a very informative history of the castle and made sure we were all settled in. We only wish we had been able to partake in the dinner being made by a private chef but he was on holiday, maybe next time!

A real adventure
An unforgettable experience, to have a whole castle for yourself. We felt like children exploring the castle. The breakfast that was in store for us the next morning was absolutely lovely: Berries, fruit, muesli, yoghurt, salmon, avocado, orange juice, a wonderful bread... Everything we would have wished for!

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.

Fabulous stay
Our welcome was lovely, Katrina gave us the keys to the castle and showed us round, including demonstrating the quirky arrangement of light switches.
Our rooms were cosy, with a big log fire just ready to light.
We were free to explore all over the castle which was amazing. How often would you be free to roam your own castle? Many stairs!!
We opted to be served dinner by the local caterers Tweedvalley Venison. We had a stunning meal ( huge portions) served at a table in our suite. There is a tiny kitchen in the rooms where breakfast was provided and teas and coffees. We could also have used the catering kitchen.
Altogether a wonderful experience which we will always remember.

Such an amazing place to stay
I stayed for two nights, before and the night of my wedding. Everything was spotless and tidy!
It’s such a pretty place and made even better by the fact there’s a gorgeous view no matter where you are in the castle. Couldn’t fault Neidpath in any way.

Wonderful Historic Place to Stay with THE most Comfortable Bed!
This was a wonderful stay, in a unique piece of history. It was clean, and the food left for breakfast was delicious. The bed... oh the bed... it was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. Loved my night there.

The most magical stay!!
Staying at Neidpath was a true dream come true! The highlight of our two-week trip and one of the coolest and most unique places we've ever stayed. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the private catered dinner was perfection. Can't recommend enough. 10/10!

A very unique experience
Staying at Neidpath very much surpassed my expectations. It was very interesting to have the entire castle to ourselves and explore the areas, use the kitchen and retreat to our cozy space when desired. How nice to have a real fire, and we appreciated all the generous provisions for breakfast. On the day we left, they let us keep our bags there for a while and walk along the tweed while we waited for our next stay to come available. Thank you!

Fantastic 2 nights
We loved our 2 night stay in this beautiful bedroom and cozy living room. It was magical watching the fire burn in the fireplace. The only small problem was when we took the shower while sitting in the bath. At a certain age, it can be difficult to get up to get out of the bath...

Mary Queen of Scots accommodation experience at Neidpath Castle
I booked Neidpath castle for my partner’s birthday and we both agreed it was one of the best castle experiences we have had .Set in a prime location with beautiful river walks and easy access to local amenities in Peebles,we will definitely plan a return date .Our castle host was helpful and informative and made sure our kitchenette was stocked with goodies to sustain us during our visit.

A Very Special Stay
We booked Neidpath Castle for our wedding and it was everything we hoped for and more. It is simply an incredible venue, we fell in love with the castle and we think our guests did too! Our stay in Queen Mary's Chamber was perfect; a four-poster bed, a beautiful bath and stunning views across the River Tweed. We had our own kitchenette where we could prepare our breakfast using the generous supplies left by the Neidpath team. The team are fantastic and helped make our stay so very special. Everything was perfect.

Wondering stay
We had an amazing one night stay at Neidpath. We felt very lucky to get the whole castle to ourselves. Everything was perfect and they had left us snacks, smoked salmon for breakfast and toiletries. Customer service was very attentive!

Great castle stay
We put off staying here for years as we didn't realise quite how extensive the castle was (the website really doesn't do the place justice...it says you can explore the castle but the lack of photos made us think there wasn't much else to it!). Beautiful castle, lots to explore, great views from the top, and the bedroom/living room were surprisingly warm and comfortable given how cold it was in March. Great continental breakfast left in the fridge. Highly recommend for a romantic night away.
