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.

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.

Staff and service make the hotel

Food and staff excellent. Hotel a bit dated in some areas. The room wee stayed in was small. The TV was placed on a wall not directly in front of the bed . The bed was only reasonably comfortable. I’ve stayed in better accommodation for the price.
