Kencairn - LODGE on the Tweed

Dec 27th, 2021

We had a great weekend with friends staying in Kencain/ lodge on the Tweed . The cottage is characterful and cosy with the biggest most comfortable beds ! The town centre with pubs and restaurants and start of beautiful walks along the Tweed /surrounding hills are minutes away ! The hosts have helpfully stocked the kitchen with the basics if you fancy eating in .

We stayed at the Lodge on the Tweed for a week in October and it was a truly wonderful place to explore the beautiful borders from. The house is warm and welcoming with lovely comfortable beds and cosy sofas. Loads of really thoughtful touches like a coffee machine, good quality towels, bedding and a smart TV so we could relax after busy days out cycling the trails of nearby Glentress. Sleeps 4 with ease. Morag and Andrew have gone the extra mile to make sure the Lodge has everything we needed. Walking distance from the centre of Peebles I definitely recommend this little gem. We will be going back.

Recently had a long weekend break at Kencairn Lodge, wow! what can i say. A lovely charming cottage with wonderful period features whilst at the same time having all the mod cons for a lovely relaxing break. Fantastic location in the heart of Peebles. Out of the back gate and two minutes walk to the lovely high street which hosts an array of independent stores, great eateries, coffee shops and pubs. Also literally two minutes and you are on the lovely river Tweed, i enjoyed my daily morning runs along the river bank taking in the great scenery and wildlife. We spent long days walking and exploring the stunning surrounding countryside including the nearby Moffat hills. lovely meals out in the evenings in Peebles before relaxing in the comfortable living room back at the lodge, don't think i have ever felt as 'chilled out'. The Lodge on the Tweed web site was extremely informative with hints and tips on all sorts of activities. Our first time in the borders but we will definitely be making an annual event of it and staying at lodge on the Tweed, perfect location, perfect accommodation.

We really enjoyed our week at Kencairn. Received a welcome e-mail from Morag, the owner, before arrival with all the info we needed, and Anjie, who looks after the house, was on-hand for any queries while we were there. The house is clean, comfortable and feels like a lovely home. Beds were really comfortable (and we tend to be picky!) and the kitchen was well-equipped - we didnt find anything missing - it felt like the owners had really thought about what you need to be able to cook your own meals easily. We made good use of the lockable bike store in the garden - may be worth knowing that there are two small flights of steps up to the back garden to use it but this wasnt a big problem for us. Great location - quiet but walking distance to shops, cafes (recommend Coltmans for coffee and cakes and Dellas for great value freshly cooked breakfast/sausage rolls/hot rolls/cakes and you can also buy meals like lasagne to take away and heat up at home) and play areas. Great spot if you like mountain-biking (Glentress and the pump and jump track at Cardrona were our favourites) and also within 45 min drive of the beach. Our only minor problem was finding somewhere to park and unload on the first day but we mentioned this to Morag and she has already sorted out a map to help future visitors find the best parking options - I have no doubt any minor issues/queries you can inevitably encounter in holiday lets would be quickly sorted out.
