Cairn Hotel Group - accommodation in Peebles

Fabulous hotel! My only complaint is there were no drawers—just two shelves in one of the closets. This seems to be a general trend in hotels. Maybe bureaus are considered old-fashioned? Other than that small quibble the place was wonderful. We had a fifth floor castle view room with a (very comfortable) bed. Staff, pool, breakfast all excellent.

This hotel is a great location for touring Edinburgh. If you have a car the parking is easy. There is also a public bus stop right outside the hotel. Our family stayed for three nights. We just parked the car for the whole time and then caught the #26 bus to Prince Street which from there it was easy to walk around and catch a hop on/off bus. We did the City Sight Seeing Bus and used the Green/Blue/Red Routes to get everywhere we needed to be. The breakfast was great. I would recommend waiting to pay for it there as there are two different choices of hot or cold continental. Great for families.

The room was clean and quiet - my only gripe was that at 9.37 am , after the slightest tap on the door, the cleaner walked into the room. Why have check out at 12 (which is fab, incidentally) if the cleaner is going to enter the room so early??
