Hotels pretty run down, our room was a good size but curtains were ripped and carpet stained. Most of the staff were great but the breakfast staff with the exception of the manager all just walked around aimlessly. Almost every table was covered in dirty plates and they just walked past them back into the kitchen at snails pace. Pool is a good addition and hotel is a great position to access peebles if yiu have a car as about 5 min drive

Lovely location with good countryside views. We found the waiting staff and one night male receptionist were not very welcoming with a smile 🙁 Daytime female receptionist was jolly and chatty and helpful 😀. The bed maker made the quilt cover too short and didn’t reach our shoulders. Following morning we pulled the excess quilt cover out of the bottom of the bed and had a better warm night sleep. Very good breakfast.
