The Tontine is a lovely hotel, very welcoming and the staff were great, very helpful, my partner used the spa facilities of their sister hotel just out of town while I had a meeting, which was arranged by the reception staff. We had a wonderful dinner, the food was terrific with lovely dinning room and bar area. The rooms are a little dated but very comfortable and pleasant, breakfast was excellent too. I have stayed in the Tontine many times over the years and I have to say it is better than ever now, it was a lovely visit once again.

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.
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.
Lovely little one bedroom bungalow within easy walking distance of Peebles centre. Had all amenities expected and some which were not i.e. it has fridge, washing machine, oven and microwave as well as a dishwasher. Small sunlounge, garden area back and front with space to park the car in the driveway. Overall excellent
The whole experience was terrific. The staff was helpful, friendly, and engaging. We enjoyed a nice lunch in the bar area and a delicious breakfast in the morning. The room was very comfortable and the view from the room was unmatched. I would definitely recommend The Park to anyone visiting the lovely town of Peebles.
A large hotel on the edge of lovely Peebles town. Easy walk distance.
Large rooms which seem recently refurbished.
Bar area and lounge for the less formal evening and a very nice dining room..
Our group found meals all good without complaint. Pricing seems about right.
Spa / pool area was clean and welcome.
The location is great. 10- minute walk to centre of the town, and close by the river, which is lovely if you have decent weather. There are some neat little shops with friendly assistants. A few hotels around for meals and drinks, and a good chippie. Peebles is a nice little town in general.
Great place to stay for a night or couple of nights. We were in our way to Edinburgh and was so happy to stay for a night at this hotel with very cool stuff. We booked two rooms, they were clean, warm and cozy. Nothing to complain. The area also looks nice! Also we liked the breakfast!
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.
The cross keys is a lovely hotel in the heart of Peebles, the rooms were lovely and clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed and the bathroom was very nice with a nice big shower.
I can highly recommend the Cross Keys to stay.

This is quite a large hotel at the end of the main street in Peebles. The staff were friendly. The room had good facilities. We had a meal in the evening which was of a good standard. Breakfast was also good.
Very nice room at a good price, and hotel and grounds are fabulous. Setting is absolutely beautiful. Local town of Peebles is great and just a few miles away. Overall very happy despite my minor niggles.
The staff were exceptional. They were very friendly and happy, making the atmosphere in the hotel fantastic. Location was beautiful, bus to Peebles was easy to get
