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.

Enjoyed excellent meals at the Crown Hotel. 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? 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.
