Family-friendly Hotels in Peebles

The Park Hotel is a lovely historic hotel that is perfectly located to enjoy both the village of Peebles and the Hydro spa. Our room was very comfortable and had a great view. We throughly enjoyed the breakfast, and often had a light dinner at the bar. The staff worked hard to make sure that we were always happy. Everything was wonderful. Definitely would return for another visit.

Upon arrival the receptionist was super friendly, however key handed over and leaflet given with all information - not explained. Pointed towards the stairs as lift is broken…surprising given the hotel is ‘disabled friendly’?! Room was clean but very tired, the photos on here are 100% not of the hotel we visited! Breakfast day 1 - we were on b&b rate, continental options are self serve but you choose hot options from a menu. Pretty much all options have a £5 supplement, apart from cooked breakfast and cooked vegan breakfast. Even then the server managed to get our order wrong. I would hate to think of the situation if an allergy was involved! Coffee/tea was included, however that’s ok if you like drinking warm TAR….again latte/cappuccino bears a supplementary charge! Upon arrival back at the hotel after a day out we found our room had been rushed to be ‘cleaned/made up’ - it appeared they were in a hurry as only half complete. Dirty glasses/coffee mugs remained and not much of an effort to make the bed look presentable, shocking. We asked regarding evening meal times and were told ‘it will finish when last reservation is done’ - that was enough to sway us from making any reservation, it had a cold feel to it with nobody present…who knows if there even were any reservations! Breakfast day 2 - same situation as the day before except this time the snotty older lady decided to be awkward when my husband ordered his cooked breakfast and made it super clear to me a supplement would apply to mine - they made sure they got every single penny possible from guests! Toaster not working but no direction given on this, we overheard another couple asking… Second MacDonald we’ve stayed in and won’t return, the standard is not as it once was. Nobody at any point asked how our stay was or if the breakfast was ok…I guess they knew what the answer would be…

We booked a last minute stay on Saturday and I have to say that aside from the location, our experience was very poor for a four star hotel. Room - for the money, the room was in need of a refurb! Very tired and beyond basic. I wouldn't have said it was even particularly clean. The shower was barely a shower with the lack of power and the bathroom needed a good scrub. ( I couldn't even use it and went to pool shower instead) Dinner - we got told that they would be busy that evening in both the restaurant and bar: expected on a saturday evening and holiday weekend. We opted for the bar and had to eat early due to the supposed business as it was the only time we could get unless we eat after 8pm. Anyway we turned up and and ended up being only people eating apart from two/three other tables. We then asked for water ( no ice or lemon) and had to wait another 5 minutes to get the attention of the waitress to ask for glasses! I would have thought drinking out a glass was a basic. The food took a while and wasn't great. My partner had the linguine and it was watery with no real taste and I had the steak and ale pie ( couldn't taste any ale and wasn't particularly hot!) I decided to have pudding but again we weren't asked if we wanted dessert when plates collected. We sat around and and waited for nearly 30 minutes before partner went and got someone! In all this time no other people arrived to eat! It took over two hours to eat with all the waiting around! Breakfast - mildly better and hot option was OK and and good if compared to dinner. The porridge was lumpy and bland no matter how much honey you added and i would have expected more fruit and pastries like most hotels we visit have. Check out - didn't even get asked if we had enjoyed our stay!!! Clearly they don't even want to get feedback and given the standards I don't blame them. I would also say that on check in we had to ask times of facilities and receptionist didn't bother to even give us the code for the pool. We did formally complain by email and it won't shock anyone that we are still awaiting any sort of acknowledgement! Overpriced and a basic 2/3 star hotel at best!

The bedside lamp in our bedroom wasn’t working when we arrived and my heart sank as it has been my experience that,no matter what is said by staff, any fault will not be fixed! Happily the Tontine staff came up trumps and around half an hour later it was sorted and working. Excellent! Our bed was extremely comfy, everything was lovely and clean and kept at a very comfortable temperature. We loved the dining room and our breakfast was extremely tasty. All staff met were very friendly and we would happily return in the future!
