Our party of six (6) adult family member stayed at Winkston Farmhouse B&B in mid-July, 2012. Hostess Jan went out of her way to accommodate all of us, and even waited up for us when we arrived very late. The charming and well-decorated farmhouse is located a short distance north of Peebles on the road to Edinburgh. The spotless en-suite... More

When we arrived at the Winkston Farmhouse, I thought it was a dream. It's cute and cozy. Normally I'm more a big city girl, but this B&B was just great, although being located on a lonely road far far away from everything (well, it's not that bad, the next village is 5 min. by car :) ). I'm not much... More

We were on a road trip through England and Scotland and had spent the day visiting villages and Abbeys between York and Edinburgh. Peebles is a picturesque little town a few miles south of Edinburgh. Rather than deal with a big city at the end of our long day, we decided to stay at the Winkston Farmhouse, just a few... More

We stumbled upon this gem of a location after another property double booked us. It was meant to be! We needed same day self catering accommodation for 4 nights in early Sept 2012 on our Anniversary. When my wife said its on a farm I though oh no smelly cows and mud etc but nothing could be further from the... More

It was infortunate we could only stay one night at this top notch B&B. This was without any doubt the B&B with the highest quality rooms during our trip in Scotland. The rooms are decorated like a 5 star hotel with top class furnishings. You feel like a landlord in a television series. The house also feels like a superior... More

We had three nights in the B&B (there are also two cottages available) and it was great. Jan is a star, whole place is spotlessly clean. Breakfasts are lovely with cereals, fresh fruit, any combination of cooked food and fresh tea or coffee. Rooms are facing the main Edinburgh road but we heard nothing. Rooms had very good en-suites with... More

Winkston Farmhouse provided a very welcomed retreat for us while visiting Peebles. We had traveled to Peebles in order to visit nearby Traquair House and to spend a day or so walking along the Tweed. Walk we did albeit in the rain so returning to a glowing fire in the lovely living room fireplace was a pure delight. Our gracious... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our tour of Scotland. Although easy to find on just off the main road into Peebles, you do have to be careful that you don't whizz past the turning like I did ! A quick turn around and we drove into the farmhouse yard and were met by Jan who is... More

As frequent visitors from Canada to the Scottish Borders, my wife and I are always happy to stop off for a week or more at one of the self catering cottages at Winkston Farmhouse. Within a mile or so of the bustling border town of Peebles and a short bus trip to the city of Edinburgh, this place is quiet,... More
