Peebles is a small market town situated in the beautiful Tweed Valley. Edinburgh is just 25 miles to the north and Galashiels only 19 miles to the south.
There are a number of forest and hill walks to be enjoyed in the immediate area, including Glentress Forest just across the road, famous for mountain biking, and sights such as Neidpath Castle set on a dramatic location above the Tweed just to the north of Peebles.
The Cardrona Golf and Country Club is just a mile and a half away. Salmon and trout fishing (in season) as well as horse-riding are practically on the doorstep.
Traquair House, close by, is said to be the oldest inhabited house in Scotland and has, amongst other interests, its own brewery.
St Mary’s Loch is just 16 miles away with the breathtaking waterfall, the Grey Mare’s Tail, just beyond it.
