Barony Castle Hotel, Peebles

Stayed 20th March 2024

Absolutely fantastic stay. My daughter and I had a lovely family room. Lovely wee pool with heated loungers. The staff were amazing. We were celebrating my daughters birthday and the restaurant staff made her a beautiful birthday plate and sang happy birthday to her.

A very enjoyable stay. Reception & dining room staff were extremely efficient and pleasant. Room adequate and clean.

Stayed 13th March 2024

This was my second time staying here, albeit with my friends four legged companion. Staff were exceptional in their presentation and as a guest were polite and eager to help. Will certainly be back hopefully with better weather than we experienced. Small critique was the rooms were looking rather tired, although I have to say this was not a problem as felt comfortable having the dog with us.

Booked for a special anniversary with prosecco on arrival. We do do feel Barony Castle does NOT live up to it's 4* rating. Hotel is very dated and tired, needing tlc, carpets replaced and a lick of paint. Our room was spacious and tidy, but definitely not a quality bed! Wine was in room on arrival. We had dinner the first night, tried to book for 6.30pm but were told it would need to be 6pm or much later, took 6pm. We were the only ones in the restaurant til a coach of OAP's arrived about 7!! If we had know that the hotel receives 2/3 coaches for overnight stays every day, we would never have booked here. Dinner was nice although not huge portions. I had to send my soup back as was just lukewarm but came back hot. My dessert of raspberry tmisu tasted nice but was like eating a biscuit, very crunchy not soft and smooth. I ate about half then gave up, I did point this out to the waitress who informed me that they have had complaints about it but the kitchen choose to ignore said complaints. Nor was any offer of taking the dessert off our bill forthcoming. My coffee afterwards also had to be sent back...twice as was cold, we waited a very long time for them. We ate out the 2nd night. Breakfast was buffet style obviously for ease and to accommodate the large coach parties, but it was disappointing and for a 4* we had expected it to be cooked to order. If the Premier Inn can do it.....? Just saying! I had sat my bottle of prosecco out the way as I had only drank half of it but on returning to our room on our 2nd day discovered housekeeping had thrown this out. I did go to Reception to complain and was told he would sort something out, but nothing materialised. It's too expensive for what you actually get and the surroundings are not up to par and with bus tours....no thank you, will not be back and would not recommend.

Hotel, staff and meals were excellent. Issue with continuous irritating noise that made sleeping soundly a problem..maintenance couldn't find the cause...only thing that spoilt the break.

Stayed 15th October 2023

Really enjoyed our stay at the Barony Castle Hotel. We went for a 2 night DBB break to celebrate my husband's birthday. The room was very nice and roomy. Towels changed both days though we didn't ask. The breakfast was buffet and not as hot as we wd like but plenty of choice. Dinner in the evening was lovely and enjoyed both meals. Made use of the pool, jacuzzi and sauna, lovely and relaxing. All staff were very friendly and seemed happy to help. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you're looking to get away from.it all

We found the two nights dinner bed and breakfast excellent value and thoroughly enjoyable. The only down side was that the shower over the bath did not work very well. Scalding hot or cold. I would recommend asking for a rubber mat too.

Stayed 5th October 2023

Stayed for a couple of nights midweek. On arrival we booked in for our evening meal. Unfortunately the times remaining were either early evening or later. It was the same for our second night. I assume this was due to the coach parties. Would contact them and booked ahead if you like the popular times. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was closed on our arrival day but thankfully opened up the next day. The food was very good

This was a gift for my retirement so was looking forward to it,but felt disappointed. Paid extra for deluxe room would say it was satisfactory only . Housekee could have done a better job as light fitting and lamp full of dust,heating not working to full capacity. Treadmills in gym running belts slipping so unable to use ,did say at reception and was advised they were waiting to be fixed but no out of order placed on them and pool cold. Staff and food lovely.

It has been a few years since we were last at Barony Castle and it certainly won’t be very long before we return. The room was amazing and the food was first class. The staff are fantastic and are so welcoming. Ryan on reception is above and beyond, can advise and sort out any problems in a flash. Really impressed and delighted with our stay. Will be looking to return very soon.

Stayed 1st September 2023

On arrival i presented the my hotel break voucher , saying it was part of my 60th Birthday . i presented the voucher , with which no one seemed to know what to do. I gave a reference no to speed things up ; hoping that our room with the wine would be waiting for us . The room were given was underwhelming ; Miss Havishams room .. Dust on the Headboard , T.V , the fan and the Kettle . No wine , water , lots of dust. Went to reception , no one enquired how my room was . i said that i was disappointed. moved to a better room. Still no wine that was meant to be in the room on arrival. This room was clean , bed comfy . Nothing special about the experience ..Handed a voucher later to be redeemed for a bottle of wine . We bought dinner which was pleasant and value for money ; breakfast was ok . The whole premise of these vouchers / break is an occasion for someone . Never felt it this time . Only takes a a bit of interest in checking in ; seeing what the best room you can give the person , enquire what he occasion is . Send a bottle up , once settled , small thing that can change an experience and how valued the customer feels

Stayed 27th July 2023

We had an amazing stay, the staff were amazing, professional and friendly and nothing was to much trouble. The food was superb and by far the best we have ever had in a hotel with presentation and portion size spot on. Our room was great, amazing bed and lovely walk-in shower. As we were up in the roof the window was recessed and the natural light was a bit lacking but the view was lovely. We would definitely recommend staying here and would not hesitate to go back.

Stayed 24th July 2023

Second visit for me and first for my niece. We had a ball together spending hours in the pool while we had it to ourselves. Food was amazing I had the hot lava stone steak both nights. My niece was catered for as well on just mash and gravy and said it was the best she’d had (she’s 9) all the staff were welcoming and sorted out a small issue with flooring they weren’t aware of very quickly. Will be back again!

Excellent hotel. Staff very friendly and efficient,

Stayed 21st June 2023

Enjoyed our stay with comfortable bed and rooms. Only suggestion would be to have more comfortable seating outside instead of only picnic tables. The weather was gorgeous for us but couldn’t sit outside comfortably to enjoy the sunshine.

Stayed 16th June 2023

We stayed over weekend in June unfortunately was not what we expected room was dirty in bathroom round shower and also windows floor boards really noisy when walking round room. On going for drink tables covered in glasses and dirty nappy by a table in garden. Service unprofessional with 3 times in bar saying our room had no card linked but reception said it was. On leaving our bill was completely wrong and took a while to sort. With no apology either
