Was a great stay. But pool and sauna etc were really tired and not nice enough. Staff were fabulous. Breakfast was great. Grounds lovely. But a couple of things in the bathroom -chips n nicks - could have been easily sorted. Pool was a big disappointment

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.

The only thing about the room was there was a lot of dog hairs in our family room, which induced my daughters allergies and also No Hooks for coats dressing gowns or towels in the bedroom or bathroom. Lots to do for familys and would totally recommend a stay with children. The staff were very attentive and helpfull and all in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great stay

The hotel was very nice, nice modern room which seemed to have been fairly recently refurbished. The outside of the building could do with repainting however it is such a big place i suspect its an ongoing thing. We had dinner and breakfast both of which were very good There ate a good range of activities on offer although we didnt get time to.use any of them. Peebles is also a nice town for a wander around.

The staff really make this property, nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was very comfortable. The food was great. The swimming pool was generally quiet and the steam room was a wonderful temperature. We had a fabulous couple of nights here but it was so relaxing it felt like longer. Don’t forget to check out the Gin School too. The town of Peebles is within easy walking distance and there are lots of interesting places to visit in the surrounding area if you have a car

Nice hotel and location - needs complete overhaul

Nice location, great facilities but very outdated. The maintenance is poor. No paint left on the outside and several rooms and corridors need updating. The staff is good and do what you expect from this kind of hotel. The swiming pool is old and a bit past its glory. Peebles is a nice place to stay but needs a update urgently

We drove to the hotel from Oxfordshire and arrived late afternoon. After settling in, bathing and getting ready for dinner, we went down to the Miller Lounge for supper. We were advised that we were 5 minutes too late (8.35pm) and the kitchen wasn't taking any more orders. This included room service. Reception did not provide any advice on where we could get some food (this information came from a random staff member). The offer of a sandwich for late arrivals would have been reasonable - and appreciated. Didn't really expect this from a 4 star hotel.

Wish we could have stayed longer. Great for families. Had large room for 5. Our view was amazing. Bagpipes and drums in the evening was a bonus! Kids had plenty to do in and around the hotel. Pool area was clean. Check in staff was excellent and helpful. The gentlemen seemingly in charge of dining was on top of everything and lovely. It was great seeing younger folk learning for the summer. Gin was great. Would recommend for a mini getaway. Scotland is amazing.

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.
