My brother and his wife are thinking of buying a big house just outside Biggar on the A702. It's pretty central among the 7 Stanes trail centres.
I think their idea is crazy, as they plan to give up their well paid jobs and open a nichey B&B.
Nichey is all very quaint, but you need bums on seats to keep the business viable.
I've seen a handful of what hotel / B&B threads on here, asking more specifically nearer Peebles.
I'm local, so have never had to stay overnight there, so am curious, just how many folk come up from south and stay over a weekend?
What sort of facilities would make you want to stay in Peebles rather than elsewhere. Biggar is a pretty Borders Market town, with good pubs and restaurants. The place has the possibilty for a self catering cottage and I heard mention of Yurts too.
