About Barony Castle Hotel
Barony Castle Hotel sits in 25 acres of woodland and glen at Eddleston, around ten minutes' drive north of Peebles, its 16th-century core extended into an 82-bedroom hotel with rooms ranging from singles to family suites. Every room is said to differ in outlook, taking in either the gardens, woodland or hills.
The 1536 Restaurant serves a Rosette-recognised seasonal menu under head chef David Fulton, sourced from sustainable local producers, while the Blue Dug Bar offers cocktails and a whisky selection in the evenings. A leisure spa with a 10-metre pool, whirlpool bath, sauna and Technogym-equipped gym rounds out the facilities.
The estate is also a well-used wedding and events venue, and the grounds include the Great Polish Map of Scotland, a large concrete terrain model built by a Polish exile in the 1970s. It suits guests who want a full-service hotel with spa and pool set in open countryside, with Peebles itself a short drive away rather than on the doorstep.
