This a great place. The house is spotless, comfortable and lovely. Our breakfast was wonderful and the recommendations for dinner and things to do in the area were really appreciated.

Just got back from a weekend stay for the second year running and yet again loved this place! Location - fantastic. About two miles out of Peebles. Cost £5 in a taxi and about a ten minute drive to Glentress. Stunning views and gardens. Rooms - spotless and comfortable. The shower is great. Stayed in both now and both are... More

Stayed in a triple room in one of the cottages, the Bothy - the place was fantasticand very clean, breakfast was delicious and more than filling, location was great to visit the countryside or a short drive into Edinburgh. Jan was an exemplary hostess and the price definitely fit our budget!

I stayed here for one week in a self catering cottage with two teenage sons - for work/family reasons rather than holiday. I chose the location because I wanted to be near Edinburgh, but not in it during the Festival, and have room for the three of us. The cottage appeared simple on first glance but was very well equipped... More

Winkston never fails to impress - our fifth stay - this time in the Bothy, we have also stayed in Cosy Neuk and in the main house for bed and breakfast.. Jan and George are wonderful hosts - warm, friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. Very comfortable, very clean and very well equipped. Fantastic location for mountain biking... More

As the title suggests, we were absolutely charmed by Winkston Farm. It's location allowed us to get to Peebles quickly but also allowed us to quickly get away from the city and enjoy the countryside. A breathtaking view from our room, a tasty traditional Scottish breakfast and wonderful conversation with our host and other guests. We recommend Peebles and, for... More

Stayed here for 2 nights to attend a wedding party over the August Bank holiday. Excellent roomand fantastic breakfast. The best power shower we have ever had. You get a little road noise but nothing to really worry about. We would stay there again when in the area

You cannot go far wrong staying at Winkston Farmhouse if you are visiting the Peebles area. Located in a farmhouse - although there was little sign of farm activity - the rooms are commodious, the situation quiet and the food up to standard for UK B and Bs.

This was our last B&B stopover on the way back from our Highlands of Scotland motorbike tour. The flat and gravel free parking area was a real luxury after 2 weeks of slopes and gravel, and the greeting we got from Minnie the cat made us feel at home immediately. Huge and comfy room with lovely bed and the best... More
