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

We used the Peebles Hydro as a base to visit the Borders area so we didn't use the Spa or Leisure facilities. The hotel is lovely and the staff helpful, friendly and efficient.
