The Tontine Hotel

We stayed for 1 night at the Tontine Hotel. The staff are very friendly and hotel is reasonably priced for the area. The hotel could do with a little upgrade as it’s quite dated and requires room repairs, the room was also a little bit dusty. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable though!! Breakfast was nice & good selection for ordering food items off a menu that is included in the price we paid for the night. Overall a lovely night at the Tontine Hotel, we would still stay again if we were in the area!

I came here for a one night solo getaway and it was lovely. I booked over the phone and asked for a room at the back for peace and quiet. The options were a Standard Double and a Classic Double, the latter having been more recently renovated and having a view of the Tweed river. So I opted for the Classic (room 41). I arrived very early, and they looked after my bags while I went for a walk. When I checked into my room it was fresh and spacious and did indeed have a view of the Tweed and park (see pictures - the river is just past the benches, on this side of the big trees). There was shampoo, shower gel and body lotion. Everything was clean and fresh and the bed was very comfortable. Because the hotel is on a hill, my room was actually down 2 flights of stairs. There was a lift going down at least one level, not sure if there is one going down to where I was. Breakfast was included, and it was in a nice, big, old style room with big windows. The continental breakfast was quite basic, but for the cooked breakfast you could order anything you want - haggis, bacon, back pudding, tatty scones, eggs any style etc. The hotel is located right on the high street, very close to the X62 bus stop to and from Edinburgh (4 minute walk if that). It has a bar and restaurant and outdoor seating as well as lovely indoor seating. There is a back door that lets you out into the small parking lot and straight into the park and Tweed river bank. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Granted, I was there on two of the loveliest days of the year (24 C!!!), but I found Peebles absolutely lovely and would go back there in a snap, and I would stay at the Tontine again.

Dinner order did not go well on our first evening. 2 different meals ordered but 2 of the same arrived. Decided to have the 2 to save time. No issue with.waiting staff. Fish meal was the daily special, not that special to be fair, in fact it was tasteless, chewy and just over warm. The room was comfortable although a few problems with fixtures. The lady at reception was extremely friendly, welcoming and well mannered. We decided not eat in the hotel for the rest of our stay. (No offer of refund for breakfasts not eaten). We decided the standard of catering would transcend into all menus. Lovely town, hotel a little dated, possibly lived in described it best.

A Wonderful Venue with an Exceptional Team. We used the Tontine for a private party for 15 people — pre-dinner drinks in the beautiful lounge followed by dinner in the stunning Adam Room — and it was simply a brilliant night from start to finish. The hotel itself is gorgeous. The lounge, with its velvet armchairs, parquet floors and beautiful interiors, set the perfect tone for the evening, and The Adam Room is a truly special dining space — high ceilings, arched windows, chandeliers. It has real character and made the occasion feel properly special. But what really made the night was the staff. Laura handled all the planning beforehand and was an absolute pleasure to deal with — clear, helpful, proactive communication throughout, and nothing was ever too much trouble. On the night itself, Joe managed everything brilliantly, supported by Ava and the rest of the team. They were warm, professional, attentive and genuinely seemed to want everyone to have a wonderful time. They absolutely delivered on that. Food and drinks were excellent throughout. We couldn't have asked for more. If you're planning a private event in Peebles, look no further. The Tontine is a gem of a venue run by a genuinely exceptional team. Highly recommended.
