This special place is right in the heart of Peebles and full of history. Based in the Old Courthouse you can enjoy a comfortable stay in a fantastic apartment. Very outdoor friendly with storage for bikes and equipment. The kitchen is even an old cell! Fantastic flat full of character. The flat is accessed by a short flight of stone stairs and the bathroom is on the upper floor. All our great mountain bike trails, walks, shops and eateries are right on your doorstep. Two bedrooms and plenty of space to relax, we look forward to welcoming you to our fabulous town.
Love the outdoors and our wee town of Peebles, which is a hidden gem. Live here with husband and two almost grown up kids. Enjoy cooking and eating and spending time with friends.
