Peebles Hydro

The room was a good size with a King-sized bed. The prices for food in the lounge/bar and dining room were reasonable.

What's not to like. The staff, building, grounds and location were all first rate. Although a bit more expensive than we usually book, it exceeded our expectations in every respect. The breakfasts, bar food and evening meals were all first rate. The staff were friendly and helpful. There are several free leisure activities offered with equipment available to borrow and other activities which can be purchased for very reasonable fees. The local town is lovely and has a good selection of small, apparently independent, shops. Everyone we met was friendly. We will definitely be going back.

The hotel has great parking and very good facilities for everyone, the rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are modern. we had an upgraded room which looked across the hills in the distance which was great, the food in the miller restaurant was very good and very good value for money.

This was a very old building with lots of history and they had the history through out the building for you to read and see pictures which is a great idea although the building is very old it has been modernist over the years and looks lovely although there is a lot more work needing done on the building inside and out. We went as a family with our dogs, and they were welcomed in most of the staff were amazing especially the restaurant manager Colin, he always went out his way to make sure you were accommodated, and when there was any issues he quickly resolved them, our first evening there and the food was amazing there was an area for us to have our meal out the way with the dogs, a bar area there so was really good our 2nd and 3rd day, there was only the no cocktail bar available for us with dogs, which was very small and having an elderly dog who lines there own space wasn’t the best place for her, the food on both these nights was not what we had the first night, the curry was not a curry, was edible but couldn’t actually say what it was, it was more like a microwave meal without flavour and wasn’t pleasant to look at one of our party had the chicken burger but wasn’t cooked properly, the restaurant manager Colin couldn’t have been nicer about this, the other staff in the no cocktail bar didn’t have a clue and one in particular was very abrupt after speaking to the manager, the first night in the no cocktail bar one of our party burnt there hand on a very hot plate the server didn’t say it was very hot and they didn’t have a clue how to deal with the issue of a burnt hand, just handed a glass of ice cubes and told don’t no what else to do.

The staff were exceptional very friendly and genuine .Facilities very good .Lovely atmosphere.Breakfast had everything you could need (you definitely won't need lunch) Bar had a lovely relaxing feel with excellent Friday a reasonable price .The pool and leisure facilities are top notch and the right temperature , my husband liked how they cater to mountain bikers and ease of access to Glentress it is also in a good location for pebbles town centre 5 to 10 minutes stroll .Family friendly hotel and as it was on the run up to Christmas lots of things for kids to do like find the elves hidden round the hotel .Would definitely come back.
