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.

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!

Wonderful to be back at Neidpath
We stayed at Neidpath for our wedding anniversary and it was so lovely to be back. We had a lot of issues during our journey which meant we arrived much later than planned and Katarina was very understanding.
We would wholeheartedly recommend staying at Neidpath for a unique experience - you have the castle to yourselves with the most beautiful surroundings. We hope to be back again!

A Stay to Remember
We were fortunate enough to get married at Neidpath, and even luckier to spend two nights in its private suite. There's truly nothing like having an entire castle to yourselves. The experience was magical, and the suite was beyond stunning—equipped with everything we could have imagined and more. We’re already dreaming of the day we return for an anniversary.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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...

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.

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.

If I could tell everyone who wants a magical and unique wedding to book at Neidpath Castle I would! Between the team, the rooms, the grounds, the communication and the follow through I truly do not think there is a better venue for a wedding! Thank you neidpath team for an unforgettable dream wedding weekend!

Unique and quintessential
Walked past Neidpath Castle earlier in the year and wondered ! After some research was amazed you could stay , ,getting the whole place to yourself as a couple.
A truly unique place dripping with history , classic baronial architecture and Mary Queen of Scots storyline thrown in . Quite a magical place and your imagination runs riot staying here .
Fabulous river views from the ramparts and lovely walks on your doorstep.
We went for the catering package, with Chris and Dougie from Tweed Valley Venison providing us a sumptuous 3 course meal prepared on the premises.
We felt like we were in a fairy story and had to keep pinching ourselves that it was really happening.

Once in a Lifetime Experience
Maybe I watched too many Disney movies as a kid, or maybe it was celebrating my 20th anniversary, but I just had a strong desire to stay in a castle on our trip to Scotland. Well, my dream came true when we stayed at Neidpath Castle. We spent two very special evenings at this location and basically have not stopped talking to friends and family about it ever since! The customer service was amazing and accomodations were wonderful (and so rich with history)! The location was very easy to get to from Edinburgh and in the most idealic setting next to the river!
