"A lovely holiday property with excellent facilities and welcoming hosts."
The area is very picturesque and only a few miles from Peebles which is an easy country walk away along a disused railway track.
-
"We are a group of 11 friends and loved our stay at Torview, thanks to our welcoming, thoughtful hosts and the very comfortable accommodation."
The lounge is worthy of special mention as it was such a good, comfortable space for us to gather, with a well stocked fire and enough seats for us all to relax. One of the best we have experienced. The location is great, with fabulous local walks. We walked into Peebles from the house along paths by the river Tweed; beautiful.Special thanks to our lovely hosts who promptly posted an item we had left behind. We highly recommend Torview!
-

"Thank you so much for a brilliant stay!"
It was above and beyond expectations.

"The house was stunning, the owners were on site and so friendly."
There was a welcome package when we arrived which was perfect. The bathrooms were stocked with high end full size toiletries. The area was sublime with stunning views. The photos didn’t do the house justice it was full of amazing artwork and furniture. A beautiful holiday
-
"Booked the cottage for 8 adults and 5 children ranging from 1yr to 10 yrs old."
Perfect location and facilities. The owners very helpfully sent information around what to do when you get there and what to do when you leave, and very friendly.
-
"What a beautiful house in a stunning location."
It is obvious that the owners have taken great care in maintaining the house and the attention to detail was incredible. We were welcomed with supplies such as tea, coffee, wine and cereal and every bathroom was fully stocked with toiletries. The house was cleaned to absolute perfection, not a speck of dust to be seen. The bedrooms were all comfortable and there was plenty of space in the house for a large party including dogs.
-
"This was an outstanding place for our weekend."
There were 5 couples and the rooms, many en-suite, were very comfortable. The kitchen had all that we needed for our catering and the sitting room easily sat all of us for our times together. The setting was delightful, near the river, with local walks all around. The hostess was welcoming and her kindness shone through. If we had another large gathering like this, I would certainly return.
-
"Found the owners to be very helpful but unobtrusive considering they live adjoined to the property."
The cottage is very well maintained and everything there for you to have a comfortable stay. Kitchen very well equipped . Our family all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Torview we would highly recommend.
-
"We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful house!"
We could not fault anything at all! The hosts were the most kind and attentive people that you could meet and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Arron was fascinating to chat with - explaining to us the history of the local area, where to go to see the local sights and I found my family had lots of shared interests with her - which some of the conversations were intriguing! The house was spotlessly clean with everything inside that you may need plus more! Lovely touches such as bottled water, toiletries, plenty of towels and a delightful welcome hamper. It was extremely spacious and all though there was 8 adults, we did not feel at any time cramped in. Plenty of privacy as well as very large social areas. And then there is the gardens - astonishingly beautiful! We were lucky enough to sit in the garden a couple of evenings due to warm weather and it was so peaceful. Well cut lawns surrounded by the most perfect flowers which is all tended to by the hosts. Arron and John allow two well-behaved dogs so we had our two collies with us and they were also very much welcomed. We cannot thank you both enough and we definitely will be back to continue with the conversations.
-
"A beautiful home which was incredibly well equipped and surrounded by a stunning gaden and views of the countryside."

"The house was perfect for my family."
All the bedrooms, lounge and kitchen areas were spacious. The amenities were great and had everything we needed. We felt at home immediately. It is a beautiful house surrounded by a lovely garden. I would highly recommend Torview House.

"This was our second visit and hope to go again before long (despite the travel distance)."
Very welcoming and comfortable. Brilliant property in superb gardens with great views and excellent location. Can't wait to return.
-
"Beautiful house set in beautiful surroundings."
Welcoming and friendly hosts who left a generous welcome pack and were available if required during our stay. We were a family of ten ranging from six to ninety years and the house and the area were loved by all. The kids loved the large garden area. Bonus being a bungalow given we had three young children with us, they also had their own dining table in the kitchen. Fantastic stay. Thank you from all of us.
-
"Great stay."

"Stayed here from the 10th to 12th November 23 as a weekend family away to celebrate a family members 30th birthday."
We were met by the owners upon arrival who ensured we were happy before leaving us to it. The house is lovely, well equipped with American style Fridge Freezer, induction hob and double oven. The kitchen has an integrated washing machine and dishwasher and the owner even left washing tablets for both. The kitchen area , which has 2 dining tables easily accommodated the 11 people in our party. The house has a large living room, cloakroom with WC, 2 further bathrooms off the hallway and 6 bedrooms , 4 of which have en-suite facilities all on the one level. The house is sat in well maintained grounds and is a stone throw from the River Tweed. The owners also pointed us in the direction of a lovely walk which was beautiful at this time of year. Peebles is around 3.5 miles away (10 minutes by car) I wouldn't hesitate recommending the property , we'll definitely be back in the future! Thanks again to the owners for making us feel welcome !
-
"Excellent place for a large family holiday with lots of space with 6 double/twin rooms and 6 +1 bathroom's."

"Fantastic long weekend in a fabulous property, beautiful area."
Thank you

"What a fantastic property!"
Really comfortable, well maintained and presented holiday home from home, with every conceivable extra you could want. Arron and John are very welcoming and the house is ideally located to explore Edinburgh, the borders countryside, Falkirk, Sterling and beyond.
-
"Fabulous accommodation for a large group of people."
Location was just what we needed. We decided to take the road home via Moffat and was rewarded with a sight of a golden eagle. Great holiday
-
"We had a wonderfull week at Torview House."
Arran is a very good and experienced hostess. Everything we need was there. We enjoyed the whole stay. We were with a group of nine persons, no familie relations. It fitted very well with the rooms/ beds. Everything was very clean. We liked to sit in the garden with a fire. We're sad it is over now. Highly recommendet! Marian
-
"Our family had a great time."
We were welcomed by Arran, to a beautiful and clean home. She offered routes for walking, where to go for dinner if needed and other helpful pieces for the area. The home had lots of space and almost everything that you would need. Such a lovely and warm space and we were so thankful to have it for our time together with 11 of our family members.
-
"A truly delightful house in a beautiful and peaceful location."
The owners were very friendly and helpful. We were a party of 14 ranging in age from 23 months to 89 years plus 2 dogs and the property suited all of us. We found plenty to do without having to travel to far and despite the rather damp weather.
-
"A fantastic property in a beautiful setting."
The quality of the accommodation is superb and we were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. The gardens are delightful, sloping down to wonderful riverside area. Anyone seeking somewhere in The Borders will not be disappointed.
-
"The owners were very kind and we appreciated the quality of the house and beautiful grounds."
It was a short drive to Peebles for anything we needed. It was perfect for our clan of 10.
-

The owner was helpful and couldn't have done more for us. We had a wonderful time.
-
"Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed."
Kitchen well stocked with every appliance and utensil needed. We would have liked an empty cupboard to store our provisions but this is a very small thing. All in all a very enjoyable stay and highly recommended.
-

"A lovely house conveniently located for visiting the Borders and Edinburgh."
The friendly owners were very welcoming and provided many extras in this comfortable, well equipped property. The bedrooms & bathrooms are very spacious, more than adequate for our party of 6 adults & 3 children. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
-
"Torview House was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed for a family holiday."
We were greeted with a generous welcome pack and Arran checked to make sure things were satisfactory for us. Great views from the house and garden. Good location for strollers and energetic walkers. We hope to be back!
-
"We had a fabulous week at Torview House!"
First class accommodation which was so well stocked! Arran, the lovely lady who owns it, was so lovely! 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms suited our family of 12 superbly! The house is in a beautiful spot and Arran’s passion for gardening was evident all around! So lovely to have a wee river at the bottom of the drive too. Lots of lovely walks are accessible from the house and it’s only a short drive into Peebles town We just cannot praise this property high enough and absolutely recommend staying here! Thank you Arran.
-
"The cottage was homely and everything you needed was supplied."
Everyone was impressed with everything.
-
"Torview House was a perfect property for us to have a festive family get together."
It was just as described. The house was warm and cosy, very clean and beautifully decorated for us on arrival. Our welcome from the owners was really appreciated and although they were on hand at the property it did not feel intrusive at all. We really had lots of space to spread out. The only additional element for perfection may be the addition of a smart to enable the ability to stream content for the youngsters in our party who have a love of Netflix and Amazon Prime. Overall we loved it and we are definately returning!
-
"Very well equipped, great location, owners very welcoming but not intrusive we had a lovely family get together in a very nice property."
Definitely recommend.
-
"Big spacious 6 bed house, lovely place to have a family break in a quiet rural place"
-
"Had a fantastic week with my family for my 60th."
Arran was very helpful and a great host and made our stay most welcome. Lots of little touches and goodies awaited our arrival which was much appreciated. Beautiful accommodation, arty, cosy and situated in picturesque surroundings in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Five star accommodation and definitely would recommend and rebook in the future. Thank you Arran, it was awesome. xx
-
"Wonderful comfy cottage, good area for walking and cycling."
All ground floor, bath/shower rooms for everyone, 4 are en-suite, surprisingly large living room, lots of kitchen equipment. Often chatted with the friendly owners, who provided storage for our bikes.... There's a nice tranquil streamside area across the road where our dog enjoyed paddling, also with table and chairs. We're ramblers and "leisure" cyclists, roads immediately south over the Tweed were nice and quiet and enjoyed the tramac Peebles Hydro to Cardrona ride, this time only walked the easier nearby hills along with the nearby ex Railway track and Neidpath tunnel. Realy good holiday location. Thanks again to Arran and John for making us so welcome
-
"Thank you, Arran and John, for a wonderful stay!"
It was very kind to provide groceries on our arrival. You were so welcoming and hospitable.
-
"We really enjoyed the stay here the owners were really helpful and friendly."
It was in a really good location and a property which had lots of things that you don’t normally have in holiday homes.
-
"The house was beautiful, very well equipped in a lovely setting."
Our hosts who lived in the attached property were really helpful. A great holiday with extended family with plenty of space for us all.
-
"The property is set in a great location with walks from the house and nearby."
Enjoyed walking into Peebles, the local hills, Go Ape, Botanical Gardens and a trip to Edinburgh. The property is extremely well equipped and we had everything we needed. Great to have a bathroom for each bedroom when you’re staying in large groups. Would definitely recommend to others.
-
"Lovely house, well equipped and exceeded our expectations in all areas."
All rooms were clean and presentable with good water pressure for the showers and hot water. The grounds were very tidy and the grass cut allowing us to maximise the garden space. Could not really fault this retreat for our family holiday. The owners were a lovely couple who had equipped the home well and with plenty of local information to make our stay comfortable and to maximise our day trips to see the interesting towns closely. A thoroughly and memorable holiday, thank you to Arran & John.
-
"We were a multi-generation family staying at Tor View and we had everything we could possibly need for a brilliant stay, plus a whole lot more!"
Arran met us on arrival and showed us around, and also left us a brilliant selection of goodies to enjoy! The accommodation was immaculate, with a great range of facilities and plenty of cups, glasses and crockery! The herbs/spices were a lovely extra touch. The photos really don't do it justice. It was also the perfect location to explore the Scottish Borders (and further afield) and there are lovely walks in all directions from the house itself. The garden was also lovely, with a great space for our two dogs to run round and for us all to sit out in. Would highly recommend and may very well come back soon ourselves!
-
"Great stay, good location with easy access to local walks."
Good facilities in the house, especially each bedroom having it’s own bathroom (although a few extra hairdryers would be useful!). The only thing lacking is a separate dining room - there’s not one big dining table seating 12 and it gets cramped in the kitchen when everyone’s seated and people are serving and clearing up. But overall we had a great stay.
-
"An excellent place to stay ."
Arran & John really welcomed us and gave us some great information about walks , places to eat etc. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a fantastic house to stay in and in a great location
-
"Great location."
Lovely welcome pack and touches in the property. Well stocked kitchen plates glasses etc. The weather was very kind to us so we had some lovely walks directly from the cottage with ospreys to watch on the way. Everyone was happy with their rooms and ensuites. All rooms are of good size so no one ended up in a boxroom that so often happens in some properties. Would come again.
-
"Arran and John left a lovely welcome pack including red and white wine and cereals there was everything you could need in the kitchen with washing up liquid, laundry capsules, and dishwasher tablets, all bath and shower rooms were immaculate and had toiletries provided, there were 6 of us each with our own bedroom we all slept really well and had a lovely view from each window, there was walks from the door and scenery was stunning, I had a punctured tyre John took the wheel off for me so I could take it to garage to get a replacement tyre and then put wheel back on for me, I would highly recommend this house."
-
"A very nice holiday cottage in an excellent location for keen walkers."
-
"The house was lovely and spacious, bigger than the pictures."
The bed was a bit firmer than mine but still comfortable. High quality bedding, soft towels and nice pillows. Extra touches that you don’t get in some self catering properties, like loo paper, bubble bath, ear buds, cotton pads, dishwasher and washing machine tablets. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook a meal with and added extras like a blender and scales. The garden was great, my Labrador was in his element
-
"Had a fantastic stay here, with plenty of room and very well equipped rooms."
All of us agreed it was perfect for our needs. Owner was very friendly and helpful and there was plentiful supplies for all the little things you might forget (dishwasher and washing tablets, bin bags, toilet paper, etc...). Great walks nearby and great place to stay.
-
"Absolutely stunning property."
Perfect for family gatherings. The owners were fantastic.
-
"We were a group of 12 on a MTB weekend."
This house was perfect for us. Comfortable, beautifully decorated, well equipped, spacious, private. Loved that each room had its own bathroom. The hosts were so helpful and welcoming. Couldn't recommend strongly enough.
-
"We loved the property."
It was so well thought out - it had everything we could have wished for. Beautiful property and really well run and organised - it’s a credit to the owner!
-
"A brilliant find for our daughter's first Christmas with all the family."
A very well stocked kitchen with everything you could need to prepare meals for 12 people, including a triple slow cooker! The living room accommodated us perfectly and it had been decorated beautifully for Christmas. Lots of comfy seating and a great fire which we were able to have going every day as the owner kept us stocked up on logs and kindling! Great location for lovely walks and getting into Peebles. The owners were really friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome including providing us with a very generous welcome pack of goodies. We would 100% come here again. Thank you!!
-
"Very welcoming host, house was even better than expected - especially noted that the kitchen was very well equipped."
-
"We had a fabulous stay at Torview House - perfect for a family get together."
A huge 'thank-you' to Arran for looking after us so well. The welcome pack was much appreciated and our dog loved a good run in the paddock. Happy to highly recommend Torview House.
-
"This is a beautiful cottage loads of space and done to a high standard."
Enclosed large paddock for dogs. Beautiful countryside short drive to Peebles. Owners are lovely couldn’t be more helpful. They live adjoined to the other part of the cottage not a problem for us but maybe if wanted loud music playing. We will definitely be back. Cottage has everything u need but may need to take speaker for music. It’s sat right next to the river and the owners have made it a beautiful place to sit. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay can’t recommend enough
-
"Lovely accommodation."
Great hosts. Rebooked for next year.
-
"Excellent accommodation."
Lots of little extras which is much appreciated. Lovely owner.
-
"Lovely accommodation for our family of 12."
Good location. Extensively equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. What more could you ask for?
-
"This was a brilliant house, suitable for families or 6 couples as 4 en suite bedrooms, 2 more bedrooms a full bathroom and shower room + a separate WC."
Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. Only problem is that almost all of the cupboards are full of crockery and equipment with little room left to store your food. Otherwise it was great and the owners on site were helpful and friendly but easy to forget they are there as they did not interfere but there if needed. They even opened a completely enclosed paddock for us to let the dog have a run around. The weather could have been better but we can’t complain about anything else.
-
"Just returned from a week at Torview House with my family (10 of us)."
Torview House is beautiful. In a stunning setting only a few miles outside of Peebles. The house is clean, very comfortable and so so quiet. Gardens are huge - ideal for my four year old grandson to run around in and play games! The owners have provided everything you need for a self catering stay in the property. We will definitely be returning!
-
"Just returned from a fantastic holiday in Torview House, Peebles."
The house stands in beautiful gardens, providing ample place for relaxing and contains everything you need - the welcome pack on arrival was brilliant. It is laid out with the bedrooms set slightly apart from the living areas and all to a very high standard. The extensive size of the house allowed us to meet up with all the family in exceptional circumstances. Peebles and surrounding area has plenty to do and see - we had wonderful days out at Dawyck Garden centre and Kailzie Gardens. You can reach the house by car, bus and train. We had a wonderful time and left with such happy memories.
-
"We had a wonderful family holiday in this lovely house with a great garden for the children."
Host was on hand and very helpful. Wonderful walks from the property. Would like to return.
-
"The layout of Torview was excellent."
The bedrooms were away from the living area so there was no disturbance in the evening. The grounds of the property were well kept and the secret river dell was great. Only 7 minutes by car to Peebles. Bats! The children enjoyed seeing bats from their bedroom window every night at dusk. The owners were excellent hosts. We will visit again.
-
"Stunning property and excellent host."
We had a fantastic three days staying at the property and exploring the area. Many things to see and do in the area. We came to do the mountain bike trials and were not disappointed. After travelling from Manchester to Fort William and then to Skye we stayed here for three days on our way home. The host kept in touch with us prior to arrival via email and greeted us on arrival. They went out of their way to arrange for us to have jet wash available to clean our bikes when we returned from a days riding. The property is stunning in a beautiful area. We will definitely be returning. Thank you very much we really enjoyed our stay.
