Neidpath Castle

Peebles, EH45 8NW, United Kingdom

Love at First Sight

Along the banks of the River Tweed sits the majestic Neidpath Castle. Steeped in centuries of Scottish history, Neidpath’s imposing façade is striking through the rich green landscape of the Scottish Borders. With stunning scenery surrounding the entire perimeter of this majestic medieval monument, no matter where you are within these beautiful story-filled walls, Neidpath will take your breath away.

Romance

It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to romance at Neidpath. The setting, the history, the small touches – they all inspire a deep and unique romantic air. Sip a wee dram beside a crackling open log fire in one of the castle’s incredible lodgings, or share a bath and a bedtime star-gaze in the romantic retreat that is Barns Bothy. For all-out romance, you and your loved one can share a rooftop dinner in the castle’s historical battlements – a viewpoint to be truly treasured.

Your Stay

Neidpath has a selection of accommodation to suit any style of romantic getaway. From the regal opulence of Queen Mary’s Chamber (named so after Mary Queen of Scots graced the room in 1563) to the cosy seclusion of Barns Bothy and the home away from home that is Neidpath Barmkin; a quaint cottage upon the banks of the Tweed. Each lodging has its own distinct quality depending on the atmosphere you wish to create.

What to Do

There’s plenty to do on the grounds of Neidpath – the castle itself is an incredible destination. Get immersed in the poignant historic atmosphere by exploring the smallest corners of the castle, with hearthside Scottish tea & scones to refuel you along the way. If the weather is clement and you’re feeling brave, why not take an exhilarating dip in the River Tweed accompanied by the diverse Scottish wildlife. Perhaps you’ll spot a salmon in the clear waters or one of the impressive river birds along the bank. Just a short walk down the river and you’re in the idyllic town of Peebles. Whether you spend your day enjoying nature with activities such as fishing or horse riding, prefer more relaxing pastimes such as a day’s indulgent pampering at Stobo Health Spa or energetic pursuits like mountain biking, the Scottish Borders has something for every couple. End the evening with a relaxing meal, or even a Whisky tasting in the Guards Room Bar before enjoying a steaming hot soak in one of our roll-top baths.

The Food of Love

One of the most unique experiences Neidpath offers is the opportunity to dine anywhere in the castle. Whether you’re having a private romantic breakfast in the drawing-room of Queen Mary’s Chamber, or a rooftop candlelit dinner on the castle’s impressive battlements, Neidpath paves the way for the ultimate in romantic dining. The impressive variety and quality of their traditional Scottish cuisine is also something to behold. With menus brimming with local game and freshly sourced ingredients, breakfast, lunch, or dinner is bound to be a culinary treat. Refreshments don’t disappoint either - tea and scones beside the open log fire after a day’s exploration, or a sampling of the finest Scottish whisky, Neidpath showcases Scottish fare delightfully.
