Great Break Near To Peebles.

A customerfrom United Kingdomwho stayed at 3* De Vere Venues Barony Castle (2 Night Offer & 1st Night Dinner) in Peebles wrote this review.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location, with lovely grounds. The pool was very good, although quite small. Food was very good - we sampled dinner and a bar meal. The bedroom was small but comfortable and clean. The wi-fi connection was intermittent and certainly not speedy! Staff were pleasant and helpful. The bus runs to peebles on the main road at the bottom of the drive, we spent a pleasant half day there. The staff in the hotel were excellent, recommending the town walk, with pleasant views by the river.

Barony Castle Hotel

A customerwho stayed at 3* De Vere Venues Barony Castle in Peebles wrote this review.

Stay Date: 26/02/12

Overall Hotel Rating:

3 out of 5

Staff very nice. Meal poor. Ordered rare to medium. Not tender and even staff agreed. Sent it back and was assured it would be done immediately. Member of staff returned with a question from the chef "what did i mean when i asked for rare to medium". Was left perplexed. By the time my steak, chips and one cut carrot arrived it was barely any better and i ate whilst the 3 other table guests with me had finished. Shame but unfortunately that is the experience of the barony which is at the forefront of my stay.

Great Short Break In Peebles!

The barony castle hotel appearance & driveway to it are most impressive. The interior is very smart & pleasing to the eye. The grounds have to be explored - very interesting! the indoor swimming pool is very clean & has a lovely jacuzzi in it - great after our walks! the autumn tints on the trees were still visible & we took plenty of photos, when we walked along the river bank in peebles.
