    It was everything I was looking for. The little touches in the room and attention to detail made it a place I will most definitely go back to.

    Friendly, like being home and no pretentiousness or arrogance. Amazing staff and one of the most peaceful places I’ve been to. Rooms are beautiful and the dinner and breakfast were excellent.

    Just a perfect romantic getaway, the food has to be the best we’ve ever had, the 7 course ( we had 8 ) is divine and the service was spot on, a wonderful place which we can’t wait to return to . The staff are outstanding without being over the top, the bed was super comfy and we had a wonderful view despite the rain.

    Only small reccommendation would be to provide a drinking bowl and plate for the dog and allow dogs to in more rooms.

    We couldnt find a single fault with this hotel. Amazing surprise to find dogs stay for free and there was a EV charger. We got a real bargain when staying here. thank you for an amazing stay.

    Would have appreciated being told on booking that the dinner menu is a 7 or 9 course tasting menu.

    Room very comfortable and warm with big bed and soft pillows. The food for breakfast and dinner was exceptional. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my gluten free diet.

    It is a fabulous old hotel that has a warm and welcoming interior and beautiful grounds. There were snowdrops everywhere! The staff are all very friendly and caring. We had booked the suite and it was amazing. The food is superb. Dinner is a tasting menu of 7 courses every night and each course was delicious and beautifully presented. The waiters with their white gloves were a lovely touch too! The hotel is very close to Peebles and there are plenty lovely walks in the area. The Tapestry of Scotland is a short drive away in Galashiels and well worth a visit.

    We stayed for one night and booked a table for dinner, As dogs are not aloud in the restaurant (we had our wee dog with us) the staff set up a table for us in the bar area. Very tasty (private) dinner. Thanks for lovely stay and we would like to come back.

    Our room was a little small for ourselves and our two dogs, but when we go back we are going to request a Junior Suite with a bath.

    The breakfast was possibility the best I have ever experience. The menu was wonderful and of course the food delicious, but it was the staff, their attentiveness, beautifully laid table, the low lever classical music and the stunning room and view.

    I am sure the hotel will address but just some of the paint peeling off on the bathroom ceiling made it look a bit drab . However that didn't spoil the overall experience.

    From the minute you drive up the long drive to the house which is all lit up you feel welcome. The staff (Victoria) were at the door to meet us with a warm welcome and show you to your room and explain about the hotel and the restaurant. The room is a classic old style room but with modern creature comforts and well laid out. Lots of nice touches left in the room for you and we had ordered wine to be delivered to the room and it was waiting there for us. Now the food was nothing short of first class and the restaurant is well laid out and the staff (Barry) were so attentive and explained everything and even had time for some friendly chat between courses. The menu apparently changes daily and you can pick individual courses or go for all seven courses. We went for 5 each and everything was perfect. The breakfast the following morning was brilliant and that was followed with a walk round the grounds which looked amazing due to the fresh snow everywhere. The hotel obviously prides themselves on customer service and while you do pay for that high level of service, it is worth treating yourselves every so often. So yes we would recommend the Craigletie house. Thank you.

    I found Cringletie to exceed my expectations and had no issues the staff made my stay completely enjoyable.

    Cringletie is a luxurious location set in the Scottish Borders a few miles from Peebles. A first class example of Scottish hospitality the property is located in a tranquil setting where you can enjoy all the best of attention ensuring a fantastic stay. The suite we stayed in 'Melrose' was spacious and immaculate with very comfortable bedding. Complimentary tea, coffee and whisky was available in the room which was serviced daily to a high standard. The restaurant provided outstanding food cooked and presented to a very high standard with local produce and served by attentative, friendly staff . I have been fortunate to have visited Cringletie before ,the standard continues to be outstanding.

    We stayed only one night and will definitely return for at least two. It was a pretty wet early November break. We loved the log fires in communal areas and the warm welcome. The room was beautiful, shower was fabulous, linen and towels just perfect. Attention to detail with welcome note and GF biscuits. Staff were all fantastic. Really going above and beyond to make our stay special. We had evening meal which was incredible. GF allergy catered for. Breakfast was wonderful too. It was wonderful to walk around the grounds that are maintained very well.
