Beautiful place - courteous staff!

This was a beautiful hotel! It is a historic building so it has it’s quirks but it was neat to stay here! The staff was friendly and this one included the free breakfast. The only thing I would caution is the room was a long way through a maze of stairs and corridors so if you brought múltiple suitcases and have a car then plan ahead and only take what you will need and be wearing the next day in your smaller case otherwise this place was fantastic! I think they may have offered to help with the bags - if you have all your bags, take them up on that! This one is also the only one we stayed at on our two week trip where parking wasn’t a challenge - they have a large lot!

A night in Peebles at the Barony Castle Hotel

Just a lovely place. Facility was beyond my expectations and we loved the quirky half a rugby field sized topographical map of Britain celebrating the Polish army presence during WW2. The setting was beautiful; convenient base for local exploring. Staff was very friendly and attentive. It was very clean and the four of us felt very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and found excellent value.

Really lovely staff, particularly the waiters: waitresses in the restaurant. Very tasty food, nice breakfast. Hotel itself is quite run down. The room was very dusty- mould in the bathroom around baths etc. had a fan which blew dust all over the room and unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable- springs poking me in the back. Pool and sauna was nice - but again. Everything worn/ old. I’d go here for a meal- but I personally wouldn’t stay here again.
