Luxury Old School

The Old School is a characterful house in Peebles, Scottish Borders, offering roadside parking available on a first-come, first-served basis, a front patio with furniture, and a wonderfully individual interior shaped by antique décor.

The rooms are filled with distinctive period pieces that bring depth and personality to everyday holiday moments, from linger-long mealtimes to evenings spent unwinding among one-of-a-kind finds.

The open-plan living space forms a sociable hub, where the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area sit together for easy family time.

The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering, while the dining area suits shared meals and slow starts, before everyone drifts back to the sitting area for a film on the Smart TV.

When the day winds down, four bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements, including a ground-floor king-size and a ground-floor double, alongside two twin rooms that work well for children or friends sharing.

Freshen up in the ground-floor bathroom, where a roll-top bath and shower over add a classic touch, or opt for the separate shower room with a walk-in shower for quicker turnarounds.

One well-behaved pet is welcome, so your plans can include outings with your four-legged companion.

Beyond the doorstep, Peebles itself is known for its independent shops, riverside walks along the Tweed, and easy access to the surrounding countryside.

Nearby Innerleithen is popular for forest trails and access to Glentress, while Melrose draws visitors with its historic abbey and traditional high street.

Edinburgh is also within easy reach, making a day trip to explore the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and the city’s galleries and cafés an appealing option.

However you choose to spend your time, The Old School offers a memorable base where character leads the way.
