A SPELLBINDING PLACE TO STAY

Barns Tower has a magical atmosphere, so it may come as no surprise to discover that the area is steeped in legend and storytelling. It is said that Merlin the Wizard once visited Stobo Kirk, just over the hill. The famous author, John Buchan, came from this area and one of his greatest novels, 'John Burnet of Barns' is set very recognisably right here.

OUT AND ABOUT

The tower is set in idyllic countryside, just minutes away from Peebles, and only 40 minutes from Edinburgh by car. Nearby there are many ancient settlements and hill forts to explore, as well as the legendary Dawyck Gardens, and the historic Traquair House and brewery. The fascinating Border towns of Melrose, Hawick and St. Boswells are also within easy reach – and you’re temptingly close to the wonderful spa at Stobo, for some first class pampering.

A SPECIAL PLACE, PERFECT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS

All year round, Barns Tower looks amazing – whether it’s glowing softly in the peaceful calm of a summer’s evening, or drawing you towards a freshly made log fire on a snowy winter’s day. The vaulted ceiling, and rustic wooden panelling give the rooms an irresistibly cosy feel. And after the day’s adventures, what could be better than a long soak in the roll top bath, and the promise of a delightfully sound sleep in the huge, pillowy sleigh bed. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.
