We had a wonderful 4 night stay with our dog, the hotel and all staff were amazing.
Our dog was made to feel most welcome with a bed and bowl left in the room. She was even given a sausage each day at breakfast (special area dogs can go to breakfast with owners). The breakfast was absolutely delicious many choices each day.

Where to start!! Beautiful property with everything you would want. We were there for one night and wished we could have had at least 2 nights. Views over Peebles whilst having pasta and wine after a long work day!! Then wood burner in the lounge before the comfiest beds for a great nights sleep!! Just Perfect. Oh and then there is Sally the Springer spaniel!💕🐾

Staff in all areas were excellent.
Staff in all areas were excellent. Used the gym rather than the pool this time around preferring to chill out more than usual in the main lounge area. Food in the restaurant was lovely and the breakfast had almost everything you would want. If you want to eat out there are a number if options. Over our two visits we had excellent meals in The Mandarin (great team), The Cross Keys (Weatherspoons), Number 56 cafe (local favourite) Green Tree Hotel and The Crown.

The Thursday market did not seem to exist maybe because of the heavy rain when we were there
The book and craft shop in a lane off the high street very much worth a visit..

Attractive riverside walks; castles within walking or driving distance; the town has good quality coffee shops and some gift shops; not far from Edinburgh if wanting to go further afield. Town has health centre and hospital. Also theatre. Some of town's attractions do not open until Easter.

A lovely wee town still blessed with many individual shops and supermarkets for self caterers. Also a good choice of eating-out places. For the fitter people or those with dogs there are many walks available and with a car there other locations to visit reasonably close by.

What's not to like?
What's not to like? We are regular visitors becuase we love Pebbles is has lots of really good independant shops, we save up shopping to do there and has great Theatre in the Eastgate worth planning round shows. The town is set in a bowl surrounded by beautiful hills and the surrounding countryside is very beautiful, great for cycling and walking. It is quick and easy to get to Edinburgh for day out. It has a regular bus service into Edinburgh and the surrounding countryside which also carries bikes too. We used to be able to go to the Fringe Festival and get back on late bus after a show but sadly that service is no longer available but buses do still run into the late evening.

We have been to Peebles before and love it for the gorgeous independent shops. The surrounding area is beautiful. This visit we used it as a base for visiting Edinburgh's Fringe Festival. Hotel prices in August remain the same in Peebles unlike in Edinburgh where they double! There is direct bus service from Peebles to the city centre and the Park and Ride at Straiton is efficient and convenient - and cheap!! A £2 bus fare, including parking, compared with £5 per hour in Edinburgh. It was also a lot less stressful than driving around the city. Dinner at The Horseshoes was wonderful.
We stayed as a family of 4 to spend a couple of days biking at Glentress. The hotel is in a beautiful setting. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, the kids loved the swimming pool, they had bike storage and a fantastic cycle way to the trails. Nearby Peebles has some lovely restaurants. Breakfast was good once you had actually been allocated a table (they are obviously struggling with staff shortages as we queued 30 mins + one day). But overall a cracking place, perfect for a family activity break!
Very nice room right next to the lift with great views and a proper bathroom. Good on site facilities both dining and leisure. Easy walk into Peebles. Afternoon tea very enjoyable. The whole set up is very traditional Scotland and old hotel style comfortable. Great breakfast buffet including a big vat of porridge obviously: although the orange juice was disappointingly long life not fresh.
I'm very happy that we listened to a suggestion to stay at the memorable Tontine Hotel. Accommodations were attractive, clean, comfortable; the staff were inviting and delightful especially Kate who was a perfectly lovely and accommodating host. I sincerely hope that we have opportunity to visit beautiful Peebles and the Tontine Hotel again sometime in the future.
I really appreciate your attention to reducing the carbon footprint of a hotel -- I liked having glass glasses in the room, real cups, very little plastic or one-time use plastic. The breakfast was outstanding and the wait staff, especially Alex in the dining room, were attentive and helpful. Wonderful location, wonderful view, excellent trip !
The location of the property was perfect. Out in the country but reasonably close to Edinburgh, North Berwick, Peebles and many more. The breakfast was lovely and the food in the restaurant was nice and not overpriced. It was nice to be able to use the pool and there are some great walks from the hotel too. It was a very enjoyable stay.
Spotless. Obviously recently refurbished and refitted. Huge, very comfortable bed. Large, and powerful walk in shower. Warm and comfortable house. In a very quiet location despite being right in the heart of Peebles. Minutes walk to excellent independent local shops, hotels, bars and restaurants.
The location was perfect! There was a huge, loud celebration going on in the pub and we did not hear a thing in our room - it was amazing! The food was excellent and the staff is delightful. If you are looking for a clean and comfortable room in downtown Peebles, The Crown Inn is great!
This is a small and friendly exclusive location, set in its own grounds. Just outside of Peebles and Edinburgh a short distance away, the county setting is very quiet. Excellent restaurant and the staff could not be more helpful. We picked this hotel as it included an EV charge point.
Great little place and aptly named! Lovely and warm, small but all we needed for a weekend stay in Peebles. Both the main bed and the pull-out in the living room were very comfy. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. They'd even left us a bottle of wine, so kind!
The Crown hotel is in a great location, on the centre of the High Street. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good and the evening meals are top class. Many local non-residents eat in the restaurant. The bedroom was on the small side but very comfortable.
I couldn't fault the room we were given when we checked in. It was a large room with a fantastic view and everything felt and looked so fresh. We didn't have breakfast but we had dinner in the hotel twice and it was lovely.
The room was nice and clean with a very comfy bed.
The hotel was right in the centre of Peebles which is a lovely place to stay.
The breakfast was superb and you had plenty of choice.
