Peebles Hydro

It really is outdated, compared to other spas and hotels of similar ilk.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.

An “old school” hotel concept kept relevant and welcoming. Quiet bedrooms with excellent blackout curtains! Very relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff. Excellent dinner and breakfast. Great surroundings in Peeblesshire. Only surprise was coin-operated lights for the billiard tables. Reminded me of our old squash club 😆 [Photo: 2 miles east, on Tweed Cycleway]

I always try to spend time here when visiting Scotland. Comfortable relaxing hotel in beautiful surroundings. Friendly helpful staff.

Fantastic hotel, tasteful decorated , helpful and friendly staff , food was absolutely delicious 10 out of 10 We will definitely be visiting again in the near future

I spent a lovely relaxing night at the peebles hydro. I was in a single room which was a perfect size. Had a lovely view from my window too. Especially enjoyed the swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room. I felt there wasn't a lot of gluten free options on the menu though. The helpful staff member offered to tweak the dishes by removing food containing gluten but it's not the same if there's no actual alternative. I didn't really enjoy the salad but the mock tail and starter was lovely.

Very nice 1 night getaway. Nice large room with pleasant decor. Met family members for a really good and imo a very reasonably priced lunch. My wife and me stayed over and ate in the restaurant in the evening. Staff were excellent and attentive with an excellent meal served very quickly. Already looking forward to planing a return visit

I have stayed in the other hotel in Peebles owned by the same company and paid extra to try the hydro. So I am rating this against that and the extra cost. It was very busy on arrival with parking near to the hotel at a premium. But we were checked in (check is staff very polite and professional). The room we had was at the back of the hotel in trees with only one window was small and dark. However functional and clean. All the staff were very polite, but like other hotels at the busy times there weren't enough. An example was ordering a drink at the not the cocktail lounge only one young lad making cocktails in a busy bar. He told us politely he wouldn't be able to serve us for 15 minutes. Where was the manager helping him out or organising staff? All in all if you want a hotel and intend to use the spa and multitude of activities this slightly tired hotel is worth every penny. But if like me spas are not your thing and walking and cycling outdoors is, it wasn't worth the extra money compared with the excellent sister hotel in town.

We had a standard double room which was spacious with a large bathroom. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast provided a wide choice of food and was well presented. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The staff is amazing! So helpful and knowledgeable. Friendly. Bartender was excellent! Hosts in The Grill are on top of everything. Wait staff was very young and very into their jobs. Excellent! Loved how the pool maintenance was checking the water constantly. Front desk people are the best I have ever encountered. We had a corner room, bright and sunny with a spectacular view. I couldn’t recommend this hotel more! Go there!!!
