The outside of the hotel is very beautiful and inside, the hotel is being refurbished. I stayed in a family room which we got at a reduced price because the room was quite outdated and due to be refurbished. The room was large and had a very comfy bed. The room had a great layout; the two single beds were further down the room and were separated by a curtain giving more privacy. Our deal included breakfast and I enjoyed the choice; fry-ups, toast, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and pastries. Unfortunately the croissants I had were warm on the outside and a tad soggy in the middle. Breakfast was good but the quality wasn't amazing. At night, you could buy a drink at the bar and sit beside the cosy fire on comfy sofas and chairs which made the hotel a winner in my eyes as I hate being stuck in a hotel room all night. Gin lovers will be happy to know that they have a huge list of gins - there's a little greenhouse in the bar area where they show all the gins they have on offer. Outside the hotel, they had chickens and a bee hive as well as an outdoor giant chess board and small golf area. In the hotel, they have a kids play group and you can hire bikes. If the quality of breakfast had been better, I would've given it 5 stars.

Lovely little farmhouse located next to the grounds of Stobo Castle (famous for hosting Madonna's…read morewedding, though they keep quiet about that now!), about 7 miles from the town of Peebles. It's not exactly all mod cons - there's no locks on the doors although seeing as its miles from anywhere, burglary is unlikely. There also isn't a shower, you'll have to use the bath for washing. They have a large electric blanket on the bed, as it was freezing in the middle of August I can only imagine what it's like in the winter! The owners are lovely if a little eccentric, and can tell you anything about the local area and anything you'd need to know about gardens and stately homes. They do a half decent fried breakfast and there is bread and cereals available. As a cheap last-minute booking its not bad, though I'm not sure we'd go again

Genuinely friendly and helpful hosts made us most welcome and comfortable in their farmhouse home…read more We had arranged in advance that they would provide our evening meal which well cooked with local salmon from the loch, venison from the estate and I think that the fruit in the pie came from the garden. After being set up for the day with a full Scottish breakfast Hugh gave us a guided tour around their Stobo Japanese Water Garden which for them is not just a garden but a passion. We would recommend this B and B to anyone who values friendly helpful hosts and good food over modernity with the added bonus of seeing around a stunning 4 acre garden.

The restaurant space is fantastic, it's like a grand ballroom and is just a lovely place to sit and have a meal. With social distancing measures in place, there are fewer tables than they probably would have, so you are practically guaranteed a peaceful evening. We found the menu, although not extensive, had enough variety to cope with most diets, and they are always willing to adapt to your particular needs. Portions were just right - meaning we could manage the full three courses! Staff were courteous, friendly and chatty, and made us feel very welcome.

And we found it at Traquair! Coming here was one of the best decisions we made. Just south of the charming town of Peebles, you'll find the oldest continually-inhabited residence in all of Scotland. The left side of the home dates to the 1100s! There are only three rooms to rent and we ended up having the whole property to ourselves! From April to September, the home can be toured by the public from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closing at 4:00 p.m. in October and 3:00 p.m. in November before winter thoroughly sets in. Within the house are some fascinating artifacts, including the bed in which Mary Queen of Scots stayed, the crib where she kept her son, future King James VI, the oldest mural outside of a church in all of Europe, and one of the world's first calculators attributed to mathematician John Napier. You'll find a restaurant on the grounds open during the day, and a complex hedge maze in the backyard. Certainly a highlight is the miles of pathways covering the grounds in the forest, offering stunning views of the mountains, river, and woods. There is even a chapel, a gift shop, and a brewery. Each day at closing time, the employees depart and the few remaining tourists are asked to leave. The restaurant and museum are closed and your family has the entire grounds to themselves, with only the adorable housekeeper Katie staying behind. You select your breakfast on a paper menu and submit the response in the evening. You're free to roam the entire grounds, watching the grazing sheep and the resident peacock, and simply enjoying total peace. They do have free Wi-Fi and television and a sitting room with a fireplace open to guests. The rooms maintain that old world charm, but the remodeled bathrooms have all the modern conveniences with a wonderful shower. Driving into the town of Peebles is necessary for dinner, although the best restaurant in town Coltman's requires reservations. Returning to the quiet countryside for the night, you'll enjoy isolation and the ultimate getaway. Our family highly recommends this stay!

Our room had a huge bathroom with free standing roll top bath and a walk in shower with dinner plate sized shower head. Anyway - the meal, was just amazing. The chef specialises in freshly cooked local produce. I had smoked salmon for starter - very simply presented and tasted just great. My main was chicken breast with wild muchrooms and dessert was a pineapple carpaccio with home made vanilla icecream. Was all wonderful. Best thing though was the steak that my husband ordered - has to have been the best steak I have ever tasted. Restaurant is small and cosy and you move through into the lounge for coffee and petit four. The lodge is set on the edge of Walkerburn, near Peebles - wonderful views out across the tweed valley. I would recommend this place to anyone. Dinner, B+B starts at £210 for 2 people - I think it is well worth it.

The hotel has reached new heights under the present incumbents, Adam and Jan, and is very successfully presented as a comfortable country house hotel. The rooms are adequate to large in size, with good-sized en-suite bathrooms (shower or shower/bath). Decor is kept in good order and cleanliness is good. Adam oversees the kitchen, with a focus on locally-produced food resulting in excellent hearty breakfasts (featuring full Scottish, kedgeree, kippers, smoked haddock and toast from bread made on the premises) and high-quality evening meals (very good seasonal game and fish) served either informally in the bar or in the restaurant, both with fires in the colder months. The wine list is well-chosen, with something to appeal to almost every pocket and palate. Among the many things that make the Trigony unique are the home-baked shortbreads in the rooms, the artisanally-made toiletries and the views of red squirrels in the garden. The service is just what one would expect: real quality!
