We are so glad to have stayed at the Peebles Hydro. Needing a quiet retreat, the hotel gave us a free upgrade and we enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant on our first night. The gym, pool and beauticians were all sampled and passed with flying colours whilst the breakfasts were 'fit for a king'. Beautiful location, gorgeous restoration, very relaxing. Our first time in Scotland will long be remembered! Thank you so much.
United KingdomBreakfast & dinner were good. Had a bar meal and one in the restaurant. Staff friendly & helpful.

Our first foundation stone was laid in 1878. Three years and £70,000 later, Peebles Hotel Hydropathic opened its doors to excited guests and patients, keen to sample the very latest in water cures. Patients were expected to take treatments prescribed by the resident doctor; we just can’t imagine our spa guests warming to the idea. The water came from St Ronan’s well, which is around six miles east of the hotel. Lightly salty, it flowed from the spring at a bracing 6°C. Some of the treatment options included peat and sulphur baths – not to mention high pressure jets of hot water and mustard poultices. But water wasn’t the only treatment on offer. The hotel also generated its own electricity, and was able to offer a frankly terrifying range of electro-therapy, from infra-red rays to light baths. As a patient, you’d also attend short lectures from the medical staff, decrying a return to a life of idle gluttony after a restorative stay at the hotel. However, there was plenty more to occupy the day, especially if you had ailments in need of a cure. Much like today, tennis, golf, fishing and walking were popular pursuits.
