Best Peebles Hotels

We booked Cringletie for our Intimate Wedding (just the two of us) and as we live in Kent we relied solely on phone and email communication. Kirsty the wedding planner was nothing short of exceptional with all her help and guidance with the initial planning, and upon arrival was so welcoming and calming! Kirsty and Leigh were our witnesses and made us feel totally at ease, the wedding ceremony was just perfect. We upgraded to the Selkirk Suite and it was sensational, so roomy and comfortable a real treat of luxury. The jacuzzi bath & shower were a welcome extra! The food served in the Sutherland restaurant was simply out of this world! We have never experienced such amazing flavours before. Hats of to the chefs! A special mention to Liam our waiter who was so attentive, polite, kind and knowledgeable. He even worked his shift on our 2nd evening with a banging migraine. Overall we were treated like royalty and the attention to detail was outstanding. A perfect, perfect stay. Thank you Cringletie!

I ended up staying at the Cardrona overnight as I was my friends plus 1 at a wedding on the 14th of September 2024. She was also doing the hair for the bride, ect, and I helped her out. It made sense to stay, as we needed to get ready for the wedding after all the bridal partys hair had been done ! We were able to get earlier access to our room, which was greatly appreciated. I thought the wedding was beautiful, The waiting staff during the meal worked extremely hard, The food was lovely too, I'm veggie, and I was delighted with the choice, The room was also discounted for all-day wedding guests, too, the bar staff were great too !I did think the price for a large glass of wine was a bit steep ! £12 ! I must mention a few special members of staff who really left a good impression! Roxanne was wonderful, so attentive, and such a warm, welcoming attitude. Alistair, who was on reception overnight, was lovely & helpful, Bayler, the night porter was absolutely wonderful ! We were really hungry later after the wedding had finished, and he very kindly made us thee most lush sandwichs! Couldn't thank him enough, I needed to take meds and had to eat ! And last, buy not least the amazing, wonderful Carol ! The housekeeping manager, She had been wonderful the last time I had stayed at the Christmas party night I attended with my husband for our anniversary, She was amazing that night and actually remembered me ! I thought that was incredible considering the number of guests she must meet ! She's just lovely and so caring. Praise where Praise is due. I did feel the duty manager seemed a bit overwhelmed. There were issues with the lifts not working, and there were people with mobility issues, including myself, They stopped working! That's really poor for a huge hotel chain, and extremely inconvenient for disabled guests, well almost impossible for them to move freely through the hotel, as the wedding venue is on the 2nd floor! The rooms are nice, but could do with a wee makeover ! Time to decorate Mr Mcdonald ! And install new lifts ! And lastly, the lovely Fiona on reception when we checked out. My husband & I will be back again in December to one of the Christmas party nights to celebrate our anniversary again. We look forward to seeing everyone then. I hope the staff are appreciated by management ! As they are all clearly very studious.

The bedside lamp in our bedroom wasn’t working when we arrived and my heart sank as it has been my experience that,no matter what is said by staff, any fault will not be fixed! Happily the Tontine staff came up trumps and around half an hour later it was sorted and working. Excellent! Our bed was extremely comfy, everything was lovely and clean and kept at a very comfortable temperature. We loved the dining room and our breakfast was extremely tasty. All staff met were very friendly and we would happily return in the future!

Hotel was ideal for an overnight stay to meet up with family for the day. The hotel interior is lovely, with an informal feel. The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The staff are really nice. Really close to everything in Peebles. Parking in Peebles is very limited so it’s great that they have a private car park. Lovely breakfast with quality food.

It really is outdated, compared to other spas and hotels of similar ilk. For instance I stayed at Dunked house, it was night and day. The staff are great but the place needs a lot of money spent on it. In our room 317 we hd a television that had half the screen darker than the other half, good thing we didn't go here to watch the telly. The pool area was nice but needs refurbed. The big steps taking you down the front are dangerous for elderly people, they are patched up and in a very, very, ”note the two very's” bad state to of affairs to say the least. Would I stay here again, probably not till the place has been upgraded. Looking at what I have seen of the hotel, this is going to take millions of pounds to do. I enjoyed the archery, the wee girl was a great help. To be fair the staff are lovely but things really need to improve on the hotel side.

I went with my kids, mid-20s and 16yrs, for a night away from Edinburgh just before Xmas. It was a Sunday, so it was quiet. The distance makes it easy to escape to for an overnighter. We went mostly for spa and gym, and we weren't disappointed. The gym, pool area, sauna and changing rooms were very clean and well- equipped and all in working order. The facilities are open till 10pm, and the best thing is we could use it after we checked out at 11am the folliwing day. Best thing about facilities for us was sauna and spay jets, so relaxing and came away feeling fantastic. The bar meal we had was excellent, the nachos were awesome and gluten- free options were clearly labelled, while the waitress also checked with the kitchen. Pizzas were great but we couldn't finish them and they boxed the remainder. Cocktails were very well presented, looked fab. Every staff member was helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and clean, although the decor was bland and furniture was a little tired- looking. Still, we loved the squeaky floorboards. The Christmas decorations were lovely but not over- the- top. We will definitely spread the word and we will return.

3x blokes, road cycling trip across Scotland. September 2023. Fantastic hotel, and exceptionally good value. Location is brilliant, lovely ride in along the marked Scottish C2C route, the hotel is right on the route so no detours. Staff excellent and friendly from start-to-finish. Checked our 3 bikes into the self-service secure storage. Enjoyed a great (well earned) 3 course dinner in the hotel restaurant, which had a great a**osphere and as mentioned, lovely staff. (There is also a great brewery tap next door if you fancy a change of scenery - we didn't manage to get further than that in the village!) Breakfast served early, first-class traditional Scottish - but plenty of other options. Unlimited coffee and juice, we were really happy. Rooms are good for the price, simple ”pub with rooms” style, remember. Everything needed for a stay of this type. It was very hot, but I still slept well. Highly recommended, we'd stay at Traquair Arms again without hesitation.
