Lodge on the Tweed is an ideal hikers cottage, close to Peebles centre and with access to the surrounding hills and the River Tweed, straight from the door. Hike the John Buchan Way, which starts in the town, just on the south bank of the River Tweed. This is a beautiful 22km hike to Broughton passing over Cademuir hill then through the Manor valley to Stobo and on to Broughton. There is a bus service between Broughton and Peebles.
