Dining

The Adam Room Restaurant serves a weekly changing menu focusing on locally sourced produce and offers views of the surrounding hills. Full afternoon tea with homemade cakes and pastries is available, and dietary preferences including gluten-free and vegan are catered for. The menu does not rely on chips or fried items, but includes fresh vegetables and varied dishes.

Family and Pet-Friendly

Families are accommodated with family rooms and a dedicated wedding coordinator for receptions. Dogs receive a pet bed, water bowl, and clean towels provided at the back entrance. The hotel is located near Go Ape Glentress for outdoor adventure activities and the Eastgate Theatre for cultural events.

“My assessment finds this hotel to be a commendably central base in Peebles, with staff demonstrating genuine warmth and helpfulness. The made-to-order breakfast is a definite highlight, and the secure bike storage is a thoughtful touch for active visitors. It strikes a good balance of comfort and practicality, particularly for those exploring the surrounding area.”
