We have stayed here multiple times, and I can honestly tell you that this is one of my favorite places. The accommodations are lovely and we are always treated like family. I could never recommend Winkston enough.

We had a very relaxed visit at this b&b by a most warm and nice host. Our room was big and very clean, a nice shower and great views on the hills. Breakfast was very good! This place is close too Peebles so you can do lovely walks or visit Edinburgh! Thanks for having us, a Dutch couple with a 6-month old baby girl.

Far enough from town to be quiet but near enough if you want to use the restraunts and pubs. Well provisioned, tidy and comfortable accomodation. Owners are friendly and helpful
