A family run business by a local publican
landlord, this spacious, and modern flat gives you home from home
comfort within a perfect high street location. Located above a
local pub, we give you the versatility and comfort of having superb
bar meals served on your doorstep where children are welcome. We

relaxation.
Within the famous Chambers Institute building,
this traditional stone built flat though modern refurbished was
once the old surgery of the well know explorer Mungo Park. A
contrast of the old and the new!!!
Our unique collection of shops that Peebles
boasts will allow you to browse for hours on the comfort of your
own doorstep while offering a range of shops for your convenience

the tranquility and wildlife that the riverbanks have to offer.
Continuing along the riverside you will come
