I stayed with my dog in June for one night. It was a wonderful time and I will stay again soon!
Staff were so accommodating with my large, overwhelmed dog (details below in case you're invested).
I was welcomed very warmly and given a ton of information. Even though I arrived in a heatwave, looking as though I'd been dragged through every thicket in Scotland, I was able to enjoy a delicious lunch. My dog stayed at my feet with a bowl of water.
After lunch, I could check in. It was a dog friendly room, which to my delight was spotless and very pleasant, but not so recently refurbished that I needed to be worried about dog-related wear and tear. Other rooms at the property were more recently redone.
The pool beckoned, but I was too tired, so I just took the hound for a stroll and snoozed til dinner.
Dinner was wonderful. I have a couple of dietary requirements, which were catered for easily. The staff were attentive and fun without being intrusive.
The next morning, I took the dog out before breakfast but got downstairs and realised I forgot poo bags. Again, reception were so helpful!
Breakfast was lovely and again they had stuff that I could enjoy.
Checking out was easy. The location is so good that I was tempted to explore more locally but had to get home on this occasion.
Dog: A 5yo dobie, I got her 2 years ago 15kg overweight & scared. Healthy now, This was her first holiday so it was a lot for her. She was good but barked a bit. Everyone was so kind <3

Right from the second we walked through the front door, we were met my smiling and helpful staff. All amenities were carefully pointed out to us 5/5 for reception staff.
Unfortunately the room itself was a disappointment, whilst it was immaculately clean, there is no way I could describe it as a \"deluxe room\". I would describe it as a basic room. As it was our wedding anniversary I thought that upgrading to a deluxe would be a little bit special, big letdown. The bar area was again immaculately clean and the staff again friendly and helpful 5/5 to bar staff.
Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice, cereal, croissants, fruit, hot food (sausage, bacon, eggs - both fried and scrambled, potato scones, black pudding, fried tomato, beans and mushrooms. Toast is available, as is tea and coffee. Again 5/5 for the staff. The lounge areas are lovely with plenty of space both inside and outside.
Swimming pool and sauna areas were great. We really enjoyed our stay despite the disappointment in the room.
On the downside, the hotel is in need of a bit of TLC. Carpets on 1st floor down to reception need replaced, they are threadbare in numerous places. Wallpaper beginning to peel off and almost every ceiling we came across needs painted or replaced. The driveway leading up to the front door needs repaired, potholes all the way from initial entrance onto driveway, all the way to front door.These things are obviously outside of the staffs purview. Menu prices are a bit on the steep side.

Lovely old hotel. Staff could not have been more helpful which is what would make me return.
Food was very good but I felt quite pricey for certain items.
Room was quite small for two sharing but we had everything we needed. Slippers and robes were a nice touch as were the biscuits.
Coffee at breakfast was lovely.
Shower tray was lethal, very slippy and I would recommend some sort of grippers be put down.
A fridge to keep water bottles cold would have been appreciated especially as it was so hot when we stayed.

great location and striking building. Good food. Breakfast was less good as self service with many steps and food not topped up when empty.
Wendy
Fantastic hotel in a beautiful location. Reception staff were friendly, informative and accommodating on arrival. Staff in the bars and restaurants were very polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast was fantastic and plenty of parking was available
Aleksandras
Car is essential as hotel located away from village. Spacious car park. Hotel has big park around with well maintained footpaths. Although, room required some maintenance, shower had some minor mould patches, bed was noisy and unstable. Room didn’t had A/C and walls had very little insulation, we could hear our neighbours switching lights or sockets on and off.
Andrew
The staff are first class, happy and very helpful, a credit to the hotel.
Rebecca
We stayed on floor 2 in a classic double room - quite dated, the toilet made the loudest most horrendous noise when flushed for 20 seconds, the bath was greasy with hair in it and the walls are paper thin!
I have emailed management and told the reception of these issues along with being kept up until 3am with noises from every single direction, neighbors toilets also made that noise and god the headboard banged and shook with whatever next door were doing all night.
I was offered 30% off the next stay, but I would not stay again - save your money and go elsewhere as you will not get a good nights sleep - not value at all for £137 a night, was like a loud hostel

We were met by an extremely cheerful and helpful member of staff at reception and for the rest of our stay, this was the case with every member of staff we saw or were served by. The room was clean and cosy, a bit of a walk from reception but that's no issue, and it was really quiet, considering we were at the front of the hotel, we heard nothing from the car park. Good coffee and tea making facilities and plenty extra coffee teabags etc at reception to help ourselves to if you needed more. Lovely Borders biscuits too, the only thing missing was a bottle of water. This wasn't our first visit. We decided not to use the pool this time but I had a lovely walk around the map of Scotland and found another part of the estate with a beautiful old Victorian gazebo. Our steaks were cooked as we requested and our starters of scallop and black pudding were excellent. We weren't seated on top of one another for dinner either, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was piping hot, I chose to pick my own from the good choice off the hot buffet with the best bacon and links sausage I've eaten in a long while. My husband spoke to one of the waiters and asked for poached eggs, not on the order menu, but which again was met by a smile and was no problem and arrived perfectly cooked. The loyalty app is a good addition and we look forward to staying again. A lovely night away. Thank you.

Ogechi
The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were highly professional. The reception team, especially Rashav and his female colleague, were extremely attentive and helped make our stay very pleasant.
Breakfast had limited options but was ok, while dinner was absolutely brilliant! compliments to the chef! The pool and sauna facilities were also very relaxing.
The hotel building itself is around 500 years old, yet remarkably well maintained. Its rich history was one of the main reasons we chose to stay here. The location is beautiful too, situated next to the Polish Map of Scotland and a lovely yew tree walk with an altar at the end.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Karen
In checking, we were given a room which unfortunately was above the pool and you could hear a loud buzzing from fans and water jets. Contacted reception and we were given a quieter room straight away. No problem at all. The rooms themselves were looking tired and in need of refurbishments. We went for a swim in the evening and the lady’s changing room had a strong smell of urine which put me off. An okay stay overall. Good value for money.

Great hotel with lovely room. Bathroom was down a narrow corridor’ within the room which had a super squeaky floor, so woken several times during the night by my husband going to the toilet. Only one hand towel and no slip mat for the shower which was disappointing. Dinner was lovely and well down for a separate vegan menu.
Lesley
The worst part was the layout was very confusing. They would tell you the second floor you go up to the circuit floor. I will.
Lori
Beautiful place - courteous staff!
This was a beautiful hotel! It is a historic building so it has it’s quirks but it was neat to stay here! The staff was friendly and this one included the free breakfast. The only thing I would caution is the room was a long way through a maze of stairs and corridors so if you brought múltiple suitcases and have a car then plan ahead and only take what you will need and be wearing the next day in your smaller case otherwise this place was fantastic! I think they may have offered to help with the bags - if you have all your bags, take them up on that! This one is also the only one we stayed at on our two week trip where parking wasn’t a challenge - they have a large lot!

A night in Peebles at the Barony Castle Hotel
Just a lovely place. Facility was beyond my expectations and we loved the quirky half a rugby field sized topographical map of Britain celebrating the Polish army presence during WW2. The setting was beautiful; convenient base for local exploring. Staff was very friendly and attentive. It was very clean and the four of us felt very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and found excellent value.
Gemma
Really lovely staff, particularly the waiters: waitresses in the restaurant. Very tasty food, nice breakfast.
Hotel itself is quite run down.
The room was very dusty- mould in the bathroom around baths etc. had a fan which blew dust all over the room and unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable- springs poking me in the back.
Pool and sauna was nice - but again. Everything worn/ old.
I’d go here for a meal- but I personally wouldn’t stay here again.

Little things would make a difference . I chose pay later , the full amount was taken with in days not months as exprected. 1 hand towel ! 2 people 3 days !! When requested it was supplied , shouldn’t have had to ask. 3 coffee sachets per day , 2 people ? Beautiful property Scottish castle style , above average accommodations, breakfast buffet. Great. Dinner menu. Burgers !!! Very disappointing . American tourists catered for . We therefore didn’t stay for dinner. 3 nights elsewhere . Poolfacility very good, disappointed at no costume rumbellor to part dry our costumes. Staff lovely.

Staff were excellent, bar and restaurant lovely but things were a bit dated, a smart tv in the room at the least would’ve been a bonus as very few freeview channels available, creaky floors upstairs, also drain covers came off frequently when using the pool

Nice looking hotel in a great area. Eautiful farm country surrounding you. Nice pool. Very friendly check in person. My two complaints were the bed is a very stiff uncomfortable matress and (yes im American) the room was very warm. The window opened but it was still too warm for me to sleep even with the tiny fan provided. Not worth the $$
Katherine
Neat hotel!
Great history. Neat hotel. Kindof far away. Need a new bed, i could feel the buttons in the mattress. Food and restaurant was great. Staff was amazing!
Jason
Staying there was a pretty good experience in general. Staff was pretty good as was the food and the bar. The grounds had some trails to walk and and interesting relief map of Scotland.
My only concern was with how my African brother in law was treated as compared to myself. When he asked for certain things from the staff he was told, this couldn't be done and that couldn't be done yet when i asked it wasn't a problem. They were eager to get it done.
I'm not making accusations rather wondering outloud....

Constance
Beautiful hidden gem
Friendly staff, great breakfast, beautiful grounds, comfortable bed, personal preference- I didn’t like the pillows, worn carpet, creaky floors. I suppose they add to the ambiance of the historical hotel.
We were too hot during the night so propped the window open to get fresh air. Didn’t have any other way to regulate the temperature of the room

The women on reception was so friendly and helpful and interested in our stay, she's a credit to herself and to the hotel.
The staff in the dining room were all friendly and efficient too.
The room we were in was a hint on the tired side, decor wise and could've been a little cleaner.
Food both at breakfast and dinner was excellent.
Pool and sauna appeared very clean, though I only made a short visit.
Wouldn't hesitate to return again.

Lovely Hotel
I absolutely love this hotel. The staff are fantastic, meals are lovely. The only things i found lacking were the bed and the bathroom. The bed and i will say its a personal opinion was so uncomfortable, the mattress was really thin and the pillows very hard. I have metal rods in my back and found it really quite painful. I ended up sleeping in the single bed which was in our room as it had a thicker mattress. My husband however was fine with it. The bathroom is quite dated, the bath chipped and the heated towel rail didnt seem to work. Saying that, it wouldn't stop us from staying here again. Id just request a room with a thicker mattress.
James
Friendly staff and nice room. Cocktails were nice. Some areas were slightly run down with dirty or cracked ceiling tiles. Breakfast was good
Mel
A lovely spot, a bit secluded and not easy to find in the dark, but once you are there it is very nice and cozy. We would stay there again.

Staff were very nice, especially the woman seating and tending to people in the dining room. Food was nicely prepared. The grounds were lush for a nice walk around the place. Some appointments were dated, but it was clean. The mattress could use an upgrade, but was passable. My stay was only overnight and, overall, satisfactory.

Birthday celebration at the Barony Castle Hotel
Enjoyed our stay. Staff members very friendly and helpful especially receptionist who greeted us. Very good breakfast
We are happy to return to Barony Castle
Our only issue was due to the fire alarms going off and needing to evacuate the building at 1am. We now understand that this is a common occurrence which might explain the indifference of the staff dealing with the situation. It is a frightening situation for guests who are not familiar with the building or understanding of what is happening when woken by the alarms. Staff ran past all guests to deal with what was happening. Despite asking for guidance we were ignored and left to make our own decisions about leaving the building and which way to go. No explanations were offered and on return to the building it was still unclear whether it was safe. We were unable to return to sleep. Still no explanation on the following morning.
Please ask staff to ensure that they communicate effectively with guests and offer reassurance
We thought we were ‘preparing to meet our God’ as per greeting over front door!

Room was clean and recently redecorated but not to a high standard.
The evening menu was over rated, trying to make it better than it actually was.
Breakfast was ok, there was lots of variety but was cold and not of a high quality.
Luckily was only staying one night.

Great for a rest.
Lovely place. Everything we needed for our break. Pool maybe a little small. After about 4 people it seemed a bit crowded.
Breakfast good, wide selection traditional buffet.
Downside:
Evening meal.Chose the’bar menu’ in first night with the intention of the full menu in second night. Sadly one of the poorest and overpriced meals I have ever had. £17 Burger- meat almost non-existent, £8 sticky toffee pudding totally dry. We did not eat in hotel on second night.
Great place for a break but I would eat out.

A bit disappointed
This is a slightly run down 3 star property in my view. It’s nice that it has a pool. The large loud wedding didn’t work for us with young kids. Staff are nice. We stayed at 6 hotels on a tour of Scotland and were only disappointed here.

Another Night Away
A gem of a hotel. The modern side lacks character - Food good - NO Scottish Beer???
Sean
Great location and nice old hotel. Let down a little by lacklustre service this time round.
Alison
The hotel was lovely with spacious bar/lounge area where dogs were welcome.
Food was delicious and all team members were very friendly and efficient.

Beautiful location and grounds.
Very nice bar area and food (reasonable drink prices). Great pub 10 mins walk too.
We enjoyed the swimming pool and gym too.
Rooms are a bit dated, but clean
Would return!

Disappointing this time.
Most of staff were friendly, but service was poor. eg. bottle of wine ordered and delivered to table at start of meal was still unopened when main course was served. Special offer of cake and coffee at £3_75 before 12 noon was not on offer at eight minutes to noon because it was too late, but I could have it for £5, but it will be a bit sponge, nothing like the picture advertised all over the hotel.
