1st Anniversary stay

We were celebrating 1 year on from our wedding at Neidpath. Katarina had the chamber lovely and cosy for our arrival and fire ready to go, all we had to do was strike a match. We had a lovely little continental breakfast waiting for us with fresh bread, salmon, soft cheese and more. Staying in the castle and having exclusive access to the history of it's walls is a one of a kind experience. We feel for lucky to have a connection to Neidpath and it will forever be our happy place. Thank you for making our stay so special and memorable. Rea & Rikki Xo

Romantic accommodation

We stayed in the Queen Mary Chambers at Neidpath castle for our wedding. The accommodation was the perfect setting for our pre and post wedding night. The room was clean and had all the amenities we needed. It is such a romantic and beautiful setting and the bed was so comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here.

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.

Extraordinary Stay

What an absolutely extraordinary place to stay. We felt as though we stepped back in time and could appreciate the history of Neidpath Castle. The dinner we had there was the best we have enjoyed yet!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Breathtaking

From beginning to end we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The bed was very comfortable, the fridge was well stocked with a varied selection. The views from the window was outstanding looking down at the river Tweed. Overall, amazing experience and we certainly did not want to leave.

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...
