Vier Biker suchen gute Lage in Schottlands Highlands. 👍✌️
Pros:

Die Lage und der Charme des Hotels. Sehr nettes Personal und sehr zuvorkommend. Ich war das zweite Mal da, weil es beim ersten Mal schon toll war.

Cons:

Lange Wege zu den Zimmern. Sehr anstrengend mit Gepäck.

Friendly staff, but property is run down and tired, not worth £200 a night!
Pros:

The staff were friendly enough, the main building is beautiful, the dining room has beautifully arched windows. Our bathroom was nearly as big as our bedroom.

Cons:

It has a tired, run down feel to it. Definitely needs a fresh coat of paint, chipped paintwork in the bedroom, halls and dining room. Broken window in the dining room.

Pros:

The location was excellent.

Cons:

The dinner menu was not what we had hoped for. We ate elsewhere. There were too many dogs in the public sitting areas. The chairs in the public areas were a bit too worn to be comfortable.

In a couple of words very enjoyable
Pros:

Liked the style and it being very cosy the breakfast was first class dinner was really good but felt a bit pricey which restricted our use of the restaurant

Cons:

The hotel to me is really nice but feel it could do with some decoration in some areas this is me splitting hairs I feel because we did enjoy our stay and will probably come back Peebles was a lovely place to visit

Go early to the breakfast if hungry
Pros:

Location and charming overall look of the main hotel
Parking spot
Accessibility to the river from the backside

Cons:

Our dog friendly room was in a back side of the hotel and felt a bit outdated, window not cleaned for example and didn't close well
Floors made some noise when walking on them and you could hear neighbours when they were walking in the hallway quite loudly
Breakfast was served until 9:30 and we were asked to make a reservation which we did at 9. When having ordered and going to the buffet at 9:10 am there were no more danish pastries, and other parts of buffet empty, and we were told they could not be refilled anymore which made us sad given overall high price paid for a hotel night
Room a bit outdated but overall nice. I had some allergies not sure to what (I think dust)
