In the first of a series of short profiles covering new members to Visit Tweed Valley, we introduce Lindores Guest House – a three-star guest house in the heart of Peebles
Situated in Peebles old town just a few minutes’ walk from the High Street, Lindores Guest House is ideally located for exploring Peebles and the wider area. Unsurprisingly given the area’s appeal for those who love the outdoors, guests often come to enjoy the fantastic walking, fishing, golf and mountain biking found nearby. Lindores has also become a popular stop-off for motorcycle tourers from around the UK and overseas.
Built in 1895, and once home to the medical practice of renowned local figure Dr Clement Gunn, the building was named after the town in Fife where Dr Gunn proposed to his wife.
Now home to Paula and Stephen Mitchell, who took over the running of the guest house in April 2014, Lindores offers five extremely comfortable letting rooms, from single occupancy to an ensuite family room that occupies the turret seen from outside the building.
Guests can enjoy a choice of continental or full Scottish breakfast, as well as making use of facilities such as secure cycle and motorbike storage, free wifi and drying facilities – very handy for when returning from a mud-spattered day on the local mountain bike trails! There is also free on-street parking.
