About this property

Spacious apartment with river views and secure bike store

Situated on a quiet lane just a few hundred yards from the High Street this newly renovated and beautifully furnished self-contained apartment was built at the beginning of the 20th century, originally as a weavers cottage and has now been completely refurbished in 2014 to provide delightful holiday accommodation. Located in the picturesque little town of Peebles on the banks of the River Tweed, the apartment is ideally located for enjoying mountain biking at Glentress Forest , fishing on the Tweed, and walking some of Scotland's most stunning countryside. The apartment is close to the recently opened Tweed Valley Railway cycle path providing easy access by bike to Innerleithen. Both towns are reknowned for hosting art, music and biking festivals and Peebles boasts its own theatre, a weekly market and an award-winning high street with restaurants, gift shops and art galleries. If visitors exhaust the many local attractions on offer, Edinburgh is just 30 miles to the North and easily accessible by car or by bus using the regular service from Peebles.

The living area has a huge settee, and a dining table with views from the window over Eddleston Water (known locally as "The Cuddy") towards the High Street. In the bedroom a double bed promises a good nights sleep and a small child's bed provides additional accommodation.

The kitchen, also looking over 'the Cuddy', is modern, bright and well equipped with a integrated dishwasher and fridge. The small utility room houses a freezer and a washing machine.

The apartment has its own private entrance and has a small courtyard. Parking is on street.
Available all year: changeover day is normally a Friday or Saturday, but the owners can be flexible. Departing guests are asked to be out before 10am and new guests to arrive after 4pm. Short breaks are available off peak with a minimum stay of 3 nights, weekend breaks from Friday to Monday. Please enquire.
Gas and electricity is charged at cost.

Lovely property in fantastic location
Charming ‘cottage-style’ flat in a historic and very convenient location just off the High Street. Tastefully decorated and well-appointed, with the added bonus of a river view complete with a family of ducks. Peebles is a lovely town and there are many beautiful walks in the area, as well as being a great base for exploring the Borders and Edinburgh.

The Apartment was very comfortable and well appointed, especially the kitchen. It was clean and decorated to a good standard. It is well situated in the town, and close to attractions such as gardens and houses to visit, as well as excellent walking. There was plenty of information about this in the apartment.

Attractive apartment near the centre of Peebles
The apartment was bright, clean, well-equipped and nicely furnished with comfortable beds and seating. The sitting room faces south with an outlook over the stream. We would happily stay there again. The only slight down side is that parking can be difficult and may have to be a bit away from the property (which is up a short flight of steps). Also, we found it rather hard to find in the dark and the one-way system does not help. A map covering the access from the Edinburgh road, A 703, via March St. and Damdale would have been useful and arriving in daylight would have been better. (We had been issued with a map covering only the immediate area by the owner.)

Why they chose this property

We have always loved Peebles with its independent shops, wonderful scenery and bustling high street. We purchased 22 Biggiesknowe as a base for the family to explore Peebles and spend more time there and want to give our guests the chance to experience Peebles and all its splendor .

What makes this property unique

Close to the town centre with views of the river and hills. Warm, bright and cosy with its own front door.
