Nice relaxing few days away in a pleasant comfortable hotel.
Pros:

The location perfect. Staff pleasant and efficient. Room was cleaned every day and new towels provided. Good breakfast with a lot of choice. Have stayed a few times now and have already booked to go back.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike like except maybe a trivial thing. The pillows are not very comfortable.

Great location. Recommend staying here.
Pros:

Can’t get a better location in Peebles. The onsite parking was a big plus for us. Breakfast was good. Our favorite part was lounging with a good drink/coffee bar available.
