Helen
The lounge is worthy of special mention as it was such a good, comfortable space for us to gather, with a well stocked fire and enough seats for us all to relax. One of the best we have experienced. The location is great, with fabulous local walks. We walked into Peebles from the house along paths by the river Tweed; beautiful.Special thanks to our lovely hosts who promptly posted an item we had left behind. We highly recommend Torview!

The area is very picturesque and only a few miles from Peebles which is an easy country walk away along a disused railway track.
