If it's good enough for Mary Queen Of Scots, then it's good enough for us. The iconic figure often stayed at this grand castle, taking advantage of the rural location and beautiful surroundings. Now, you can follow in her footsteps. Feel like royalty in every room of this awe-inspiring building, each inch infused with historical significance. Rustic yet comfortable, the castle maintains its regal atmosphere whilst adding a layer of intimacy that puts you instantly at ease. There are multiple rooms to discover, from the huge dining space to the cosy corners with chairs by the fire. The best part? You have the entirety all to yourself. After the host provides a tour and snippets of the history, you can explore each quaint crevice at your own leisure. Indulging in a royal feast in the dining room is a particular highlight. Such is the grandeur of the castle, we can understand why you'd never want to leave. But if you did want to stretch your legs, take a stroll along the beautiful River Tweed, leading to the charming town of Peebles. Here, you'll find welcoming pubs, a fascinating museum and premium restaurants.
