Thanks to the staff at the Peebles Hydro. I had an excellent stay. The room was generous, quiet and clean. The lady at the front desk was very kind and helped me store my mountain bike safely and securely. Lovely grounds and a great location for basing yourself in the atea.

We drove to the hotel from Oxfordshire and arrived late afternoon. After settling in, bathing and getting ready for dinner, we went down to the Miller Lounge for supper. We were advised that we were 5 minutes too late (8.35pm) and the kitchen wasn't taking any more orders. This included room service. Reception did not provide any advice on where we could get some food (this information came from a random staff member). The offer of a sandwich for late arrivals would have been reasonable - and appreciated. Didn't really expect this from a 4 star hotel.

Great location with plenty to do
Very pleasant old style large hotel. Needs some updating, but room still comfortable enough though bath took a long time to fill. Good breakfast selection, no queues during week but on Saturday very busy - a popular wedding venue which also filled up the car parking. Lovely grounds with various activities for families and children, nice pool and leisure facilities. Dinner one evening was good but restaurant a bit bright and lacking ambience. Bar area with log fire lovely though music is not in line with the average clientele and put some people off. Some old classic piano bar stuff would be better.
Great location for walking into the town and lovely walks along the Tweed and trips to other towns. We stayed 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Despite being very busy there was very little or no wait to be served. The outside of the building could do with a few repairs and freshening up but this did not have any impact on our stay.
