Booked a 2 night stay on half board. Upon arrival we immediately noticed sign stated pool was unavailable that day. Not the best start. Check in was smooth and allocated room overlooking the golf course. Rooms perhaps could do with a spruce up which would help with 4 star billing. As others have stated food is good. Breakfasts are fresh... More

The Cardrona is a fairly new hotel/golf course/spa development a few miles outside the border town of Peebles. We stayed as part of a wedding party and it is qute a popular location for weddings. Check-in was faultless and the view from the room was stunning. It was a very hot day so was surprised to find no air conditioning... More

We recently stayed for 2 nights with friends. The idea had been that my friend & I would go for a spa treatment whilst our husbands played golf. However, when I phoned to book the treatments a week before our visit I was told that there were no appointments available. Very disappointing as that was the whole point of the... More

Golf very reasonable and the guys were very impressed with the course. Pool facilities lovely too. Only downer for me is that I left... More

A moderately new hotel with all decor and fittings at a good standard. Very prettily situated in the countryside just outside the town of Peebles. Room was large (we opted for an executive king-sized room) which had, as previously stated by another reviewer, possibly the biggest bed I've ever seen. Modern flat-screened TV with a decent choice of channels, tea... More

We booked the Macdonald Cardrona as part of our wedding anniversary and birthday celebration, we were looking for somewhere relaxing and in nice surroundings, this was definitely what we got. The room was of a good size with quite possibly the biggest bed I have ever slept in! The bathroom was nice, if on the small side. The TV's are... More

We booked this hotel for a party of 8 staying 2 nights with dinner, bed and breakfast all included for a price of £225 per head. The hotel also gave us a £10 voucher each because we had 8 people in the party. The golf was included in the package and was for unlimited play. The hotel was excellent with... More

This is a very good hotel and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The only adverse comment I have to make is the dinner menu in the restaurant. It never changed except for the choice of soup and vegetarian meal. There were about 6 or 7 items on the menu and by the end of my 3 day... More
