NT 253-412 Peeblesshire Scotland
Smithfield Castle was originally a 14th century fortification, founded by the Hays of Smithfield. In the 18th and 19th century, the total reconstruction of the castle and grounds, destroyed the medieval fortress but it left us with Venlaw Castle, a dramatic baronial mansion. Visit pending. 2 miles south-west is Neidpath Castle and 2 miles south-east is Horsburgh Tower.
Venlaw Castle is located north of Peebles, off Edinburgh Road. 35 miles west of Kelso, on the A699-A72.
The hotel is owned and managed by the Sloggie family and access is restricted to guests with reservations for an overnight stay or dining in the restaurant.
There is a car park.
