Very posh hotel. We loved our stay. We would love to come back for a longer stay and explore the activities which were available. Due to our short stay we could not explore them. Staff were very nice and cordial. There’s lot of parking spaces available. Breakfast was just perfect.

Although late arriving we received a warm & efficient welcome.
Our room (family for 3 people) was immaculate and we greeted the day with stunning views and a fabulous breakfast ..

After a day in Edinburgh (50 minute drive) we returned to use the pool, sauna & steam room, before a quick change and dinner in Millers bar - food was great & staff were very friendly and helpful.

Every single member of staff were smiling, professional and keen to help making for a very relaxing break..

Thank you - we will be back …

What a fabulous hotel! We chose Peebles as it was about halfway back home to Wales for us, and after 9 days of hiking - a spa hotel sounded perfect!

The fact that such a swanky place is also dog friendly (and TRULY dog friendly) made it even better.

The staff were all cheerful, helpful and friendly.

My husband used the gym facilities and I treated myself to a massage, which was quite honestly one of the best massages I’ve ever had.

I also purchased gifts from the on site gin distillery for our house sitter.

Peebles was much more picturesque than I was expecting and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 days there.

I found returning here after 15 years to be a sad form of nostalgia.

We used to come here in the late 90's as a large family group and have so many fond memories of this place. We remember having a grand evening dining experience with a man in a kilt waiting for us at the top of the grand staircase, and adults dressing in their fine clothes for the evening meal while children would eat in the Bannockburn room. Things have changed, and while I accept there is a need to modernise things, the whole soul of this place has gone now.

The state of disrepair of the property is very obvious, but what was sad is that I felt some of the repairs would be very simple to do.

We paid just under £300 for our rooms and feel this was completely out of line with the experience.

Our balcony which was 2 floors up was literally crumbling apart and had caution tape on it to suggest 'don't lean here'. This is completely unacceptable for a room at this price.

The old fashioned but classy feel of the rooms have been replaced with a soulless modern chich vibe and it was all just quite depressing. One of the ceiling lights in my room wasn't even working and the room felt bare with two cheap sofas stuck in the middle to fill the space.

There was peeling paint work and rotten wood everywhere and a general sense of 'we don't care anymore'.

At 10pm my room was freezing. I called 3 times and went in person to reception to resolve this. The heating never came on and I slept the night COLD.

The Spa was shut when we attended, the hot tub was broken and the hotel was slightly worn down in places.
A very beautiful hotel from the outside, but the paint was damanged inside, the room was dark and empty and it felt more like a normal hotel than a spa.
It is very child friendly, to a fault, as there are kids constantly running around doing treasure hunts and playing in the corridors. The food was subpar and fairly pub food like.
This would be a fine place to stay for a family having fun for a few days, its not a couples retreat.

I stayed for 4 nights for work. I booked a small room as I only get a small work allowance. I was upgraded to a larger room on arrival, which I appreciated! The room was very clean, tidy and I had a lovely view. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well. All members of staff I spoke to were very friendly.

The receptionist offered to make up a continental breakfast for me to takeaway, as I had to leave relatively soon after breakfast started for work. This was a lovely gesture and there was plenty of items included!

I had time for breakfast on my last day and it was absolutely delicious. I wish I could have had that every morning, but work unfortunately comes first. A very good selection of hot and cold food to choose from.

The gym had an excellent range of equipment. The gym, pool area and changing facilities were very clean. The pool was very warm. I only used the sauna, even though there is a jacuzzi and steam room, and it was excellent.

The parking area in front of the hotel was a little congested at times, but there is a small car park to the right hand side of the building (if looking at the building).

A small room for improvement, would be to signpost the lift to the left side of the entrance. Unless I have missed it. No problem for me, just for anyone with mobility issues, even though the main staircase was amazing. Or perhaps advise location on a email, if not already done.

I would definitely recommend, it was great value for money and I would stay again.

The lady at reception was wonderfully accommodating and friendly. Unfortunately I don’t recall her name but she had a Polish accent.

The “feature” rooms are higher priced fit the view, but unless you intend on spending a lot of time in the room I’d recommend taking one of the other more spacious rooms.

The pool area is a nice place to relax, but the bar area beside where the snacks are laid out was a disappointment as it closed at 5pm which is exactly when you want a cocktail! I was also disappointed that the small snacks weren’t complimentary….for a hotel of this standard it seemed rather tacky.

The hotel overall is in need of some redecoration, but it is in a great location just a 10 minute walk from Peebles High street.

Re breakfast - definately lacking….the cold cut/cheese area was very unappetizing. Only one clicked cheese that looked very tired and the other cheeses were all single serves wrapped in plastic - yeuk. The yogurts we’re also disappointing - the only ones on offer had artificial sweeteners…..Given our disappointment with the breakfasts we didn’t eat dinner in the hotel.

The hotel grounds are lovely even in winter.

I’m a business traveler. Rooms were ok for the price, we ate in the bar, rather than the restaurant. We had to order at the bar, collect drinks at the bar, the waiter service mostly hadn’t got a clue what table they were delivering too and often they were offering main courses to tables who already had main courses already being eaten?
The big issue for us, was that they put a service charge of 10% on the bill. If you have to go to the bar, to order? And they have no idea where they are taking the food to? What exactly is the service?
McDonald’s don’t have service charge? To be perfectly honest the food isn’t much better and I prefer to avoid those as well

Excellent Break – Just a Couple of Suggestions

We had an excellent two-day stay at Peebles Hydro. Everything from the staff to the setting was first-class, and a lovely touch from the manager to give me a birthday card and chocolates – much appreciated.

Only two small suggestions: it would be handy to have a bar on the ground floor, and as we’re getting older, a handrail in the shower would make things easier. Other than that, a wonderful visit and we’ll happily return.

Hot, needs TLC & big bar opening during day

Unbelievably hot, the room was unbearable would have been helped if all the windows had not been closed prior to arrival. Fan on night 2 helped, but compared to the corridors the rooms were so hot.
Hotel would benefit from some TLC, nothing seems to have changed in 2.5 years. Staff are lovely welcoming, and try but the main bar would benefit from being open during the day to save long queues at the small lounge bar, and table service would be nice when paying as much as do.

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.

Most of the staff was not customer orientated. The reception staff were great. Although the rooms were clean we had to ask for coffee and tea at reception as it wasn't topped up, and the main areas didn't feel clean. It was fairly busy and the staff could hardly keep up.
We enjoyed the stay as the surrounding area. And town was Great. This was a special occasion and the hotel let it down.

A once grand hotel in desperate need of investment and renovation. Staff have not been trained to what most people would deem acceptable standards but a) this is not their fault b) they were so pleasant, polite and charming that you just had to let things slide. Lift was broken but again, staff were more than happy to help with bags and the luggage lift. Abysmal value for money considering what you could get in same area for less but “ok” stay.

Overall a good hotel. Its worst aspect was breakfast. Whilst the variety and quantities of the staples like fruit, juices cakes etc, was very good. The actual self revive breakfasts had many failings. The plates from the dispenser were far too hot to handle comfortably, the actual foo was poorly presented, .e.g bacon slices stuck together and very difficult to separate fried eggs often quite cool unless you were in the queue at the right time, generall not a nice experience. Evening meals served at the table were excellent.

Our room was bright, painted a fresh and modern sage green and, once again, with glorious views. Bed was on the stiffer side which is my preference for comfort and shower and bath warm and strong. Pretty standard for these older hotels as part of a smaller chain.

Gym was very quiet on a Saturday evening but with plenty there and truly astonishing aircon for a hotel gym! Accessed through the pool so it was trainers off to get there. Pool seemed very kid friendly and a good size.

Definitely an ‘end of maintenance/decoration’ cycle feel to much of the hotel (especially some damp peeling ceilings) but the social areas are charming enough and the main dining room was a lovely space clearly kept fresh for weddings.

Hotel was spotlessly clean with great staff - and plenty of them! Post Brexit many hotels seemed to be suffering staff crises, not here.

LOTS to do in the nearby area, even if it’s just coffee or cake in Peebles itself.

The cocktails were (ahem) made with gusto and plenty of booze, though definitely not to traditional recipes! The ‘cocktail bar’ was more of a feel of a pub snug than a ‘modern’ cocktail bar (if that’s what you are expecting) but it’s welcoming with an open fire.

Lovely hotel but with a slightly dated feel that may take the shine off if you’re expecting ‘luxury’
