Guest Reviews

Booked a room last minute for an overnight for our wedding anniversary the hotel is very well situated within peebles main street the room was lovely spotlessly clean staff were lovely welcoming and friendly cocktails and the lager was really good had an fantastic stay will definitely return the only fault was the breakfast my husband and myself so not eat pork there wasn't much on offer to substitute it apart from that it's absolutely faultless

Had a wonderful break in a lovely customer orientated hotel. Ths staff were all friendly and cheerful with nothing too much trouble for them. The breakfasts were freshly cooked, piping hot and extremely tasty.The service was spot on even to the extent of being offered more, as the chef had just made more, of the scrambled eggs and bacon that were part of my order. The bedroom was large and beds extremely comfy....and made over daily if your require. My only negative was the bar, rather old fashioned and dull....but the lounge more than compensated for the bars failings.

Stayed in November for a special birthday, staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. room was lovely very cosy and warm, despite being a very cold night the hotel was lovely and warm sitting in the lounge. Cant fault anything, food, service and staff were amazing.

I visited The Tontine Hotel twice within my week away in Peebles. I visited with friends and my partner - and we had experienced both a Lunch and a dinner. My first meal was lunch, I ordered the Chicken and Bacon Ciabatta and upgraded to the skinny fries. The ciabatta was, I believe £9 and the upgrade to fries was £2. I had a can of Pepsi which was also priced at £2. All in all, the prices were okay! The food however - AMAZING! The service? AMAZING! The atmosphere? AMAZING?!. Hence why… we came back! For dinner, I ordered a small fish and chips for £11.95 and it was great - or you could upgrade to the Large Haddock for £20 (but i’m frail and couldn’t handle a large, the small was perfect)

We were seated in a lounge area with comfortable chairs, dim lighting and the sweetest table (it had an old map of Peebles in the glass). We sat in the same seat again whencwe visited for dinner a few days later. I ordered the small Haddock and chips, and it was pretty damn good! The fish was locally sourced from the store across the street and it was cooked beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed both of my meals. My partner had ordered the steak sandwich (he said it was great!) and the Venison Pie (which got a thumbs up too).

The staff were welcoming and considerate. They were young but they run a tight ship and were efficient and effective with their service. I would definitely recommend the restaurant, and the rooms are likely fantastic too.

Visited for brunch on Sunday, not a lot of choices in Peebles so I'm glad this place was opened and food was good. The waitresss looking after us was so lovely and friendly, definitely made our meal!

The Tontine Hotel is an excellent hotel smack bang in the middle of Peebles. Everything you could need is on the hotels doorstep.
During our 3 night B&B stay we found the staff who are an absolute credit hotel to be excellent and friendly with always saying hello and asking if we needed anything. Each day we found the breakfasts to be tasty and good sized portions.
As for the rooms, they were clean, a good size and had fabulous views of the park and the River Tweed.
The only let down of the hotel is the bar area which is drab, dingy, outdated and badly needing upgraded.

lovely courteous staff great value too never been disappointed 🙏

What can I say about the Tontine, firstly the staff are all absolutely amazing. When we arrived a lovely lady called Cheyenne on reception checked us in and was super helpful all weekend, a lovely smile greeted us each time we walked by reception, another lady called Kirsten was also very attentive, my dad felt unwell as he was walking into hotel and Kirsten instantly noticed and helped my mum to get him seated and looked after him, she also served us in the restaurant and was first class, nothing was too much trouble, when we said thank you she always said its a pleasure, and you really felt she meant it, she was happy to look after you. All the staff were brilliant and I wish I could name them all as everyone deserves to be acknowledged. Big shout out to the chef, eggs benidict was amazing! If you want a comfortable hotel with staff who go above and beyond to make your stay pleasurable then you won't go wrong with this hotel. The room was very clean and spacious and the hotel was perfectly situated on the high street with private parking. Excellent stay.

Dated but comfortable. Breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. Evening meal was ok. Staff excellent.

Went for lunch on Tuesday 10 December 2024. No complaints. Excellent all round.

Awful stay Tuesday night wouldn't recommend. Emailed management no response.

Comfortable room, good food, pleasant staff.

We've never been disappointed at the Tontine. Rooms are lovely. The food is delicious and the staff are so very helpful and friendly 😁 & it's situated right in the centre of town 🙂

Enjoyed our stay ...Comfortable, very clean and good food. Lovely staff, particularly Jessica who was very attentive, pleasant and efficient.

I was slightly disappointed as the venue was more run down than expected. However the food and service were very good.

We love coming to Tontine and they make us feel very comfortable and relax. The customer care is like no other. Their kindness and thoughtfulness is expressed in many ways.

We stopped by for lunch. The Tontine serves from 12.00 to 17.00 so allowed us to arrive in a relaxed mood to start with.
The menu is very good and the staff were very attentive to allergy enquiries. Service was first class throughout. The food was excellent.
We enjoyed being in the main dining room with views up and down the Tweed valley and over to the Manor valley. The afternoon sunshine filling the room just added the final touch to a perfect visit.
If you are visiting Peebles don't miss the Tontine.

Lovely 3 night break.
Room clean and comfortable with all we required for a comfortable relaxing stay. Hotel is positioned centrally within Peebles with plenty of shops,cafes and walks close by.
Breakfast and dinner each day was enjoyable, tasty and a good variety of options to choose from, but above all each member of staff we met were a credit to the hotel.

Fantastic hotel food amazing,staff amazing Will be back

Great place, wonderful staff, especially Lucy,who put so much into the presentation of the Birthday table, afternoon tea was lovely, a very nice experience.

The best years of this hotel are behind it as the rooms are a bit shabby and the hotel is looking quite tired. Service was inconsistent with some staff quite lovely and others not so lovely. The whole place needs a make over and some proper management. I would look for lodging elsewhere.

We came into Peebles for a wedding and loved every bit of our stay at the Tontine. The service is fabulous! The beds were comfortable and the upgraded restrooms were fantastic!

Booked our wedding for july 2025 . Exciting. The team have gone above what expected from a hotel . They even made enquiries with the chef of the hotel and our wedding cake is sorted . What a lovely team five stars for all . Cant wait for our day . This hotel staff is a must !!

Popped in for lunch,What a gem of a place, three adults two dogs made most welcome by the restaurant staff.
Very attentive service, dogs got served first with water bowls.Katsu curry and Fish n Chips.
Sticky toffee pudding.
Tontine ale just right.
Lovely meals and drinks. Very efficient service
Booked for Sunday lunch.

Superb,great for a relaxing weekend away,

Peebles Highland Games last Saturday, and after a great day of game events and the sun shining all day, we decided to have a walk to town and visit a few of our local drinking venues was a great idea to end a fantastic day.

After visiting a couple, we decided to visit the Tontine. I ordered 2 single gins and one tonic water I paid £10.65p, yet on average, in other establishments, we paid £7.25p. So a re visit isn't on the cards anytime soon.

Just one other caveat it would be a good idea to close the door between the reception and bar so that the one bar staff serving doesn't get unnecessary distracted by chatting back and forth and could use that most important word whilst concluding the sale by saying thank you!!!!!!!!!!.

J’ai bien aimé cet hôtel là, le personnel était très accueillant et j’ai pu réserver même au dernier moment. On avait en plus un parking couvert pour mon vélo !:) C’était top. Petit déjeuner au lendemain copieux et délicieux. Les œufs fermiers étaient très bons. Merci

Poor service, very slow. Not cheap.

Need a bigger bar

Lovely stay, thank you.

Enjoyed an excellent meal at the Tontine Hotel in Peebles yesterday. The fish and chips were great.

Afternoon tea looks amazing as well

Food is to expensive for what it is. Staff seem inexperienced and there simply aren't enough of them to be running a bar with cocktails. Long delays in fabric standard cocktails. Nice environment though.

Overnight stay in the Tontine. All staff very freindly. Easy parking at the rear. Rooms very clean and bed very comfotable. Both Breakfast and evening food was excellent.

Great lunch with excellent service.

Celebrated my mums 60th with an overnight stay at the weekend. The staff were so helpful and went over and above for us to make sure my mum had a great time! Breakfast the next morning was also fantastic

Five stars. The Tontine Hotel and the town of Peebles together are WONDERFUL ❤. 5 stars for the Hotel. Peebles and the Tontine Hotel are an outstanding example of Scottish life and early architecture where things were made of stone and wood. The Tontine Hotel is the quintessential experience of Scots hospitality and the quaint colorful village is just a short drive from Edinburgh.
The Tontine Hotel is warm and cozy. The food is fabulouuus! my room had not only a towel warmer in the bath but also a trouser press in the corner of the room. Premium bath amenities. very thoughtful.
My room number was number 1 not 101. It's the real deal ...with history and soul you can feel when you walk in.. Vintage and Aged i wish I could retire there.

Very friendly. Water and biscuits for Dougie our Labrador. Fish & Chips were excellent 👍

Great food served by friendly staff

excellent fish and chips!

Fantastic location, so friendly, great food, lovely rooms (with extension lead and a fan!). Was sad to leave.

Absolute best Sunday lunch by far, including, home made cauliflower cheese, proper roasties, real gravy (the best I’ve tasted) accompanying a fabulous beef roast. We always have Sunday lunch here when visiting family up from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our favorite hotel in Peebles to stay and dine !! Wonderful proprietors who make all guests feel welcome and special!!

Lovely lunch. Delicious fresh salmon and cucumber sough dough sandwich.

We have had a wonderful stay. Spacious bedrooms nicely decorated. Newly refurbished bathrooms. Friendly staff . The food has been excellent. We will be back.

Great choice of food. Vegetarian choices and also gluten free. Willing to adapt dishes to suit dietary needs.
Lovely place to eat with very attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Dog friendly.. Riley was in his element with a fresh water bowl & another with treats. It’s a lovely setting in the middle of Peebles with parking. Thoroughly enjoyed my light lunch with my dad & dog

Stopped in here for lunch. what a find !
Crab and langoustine starter was delicious. Roast beef Sunday lunch was amazing.
Staff were lovely.
will definitely return..

Beautiful lunch lovely menu great service

I stayed at the Tontine recently for a wedding. I was travelling alone with my 3 year old child. The hotel could not have done more for us and to make sure we both enjoyed our stay.
From making sure I had a drink in my hand when I couldn’t get to the bar, to offering to get us food from the buffet, someone was always making sure we were considered. Their flexibility and thoughtfulness really meant a lot to me. I’d definitely stay here again.

Nice position in Peebles with the River Tweed at the back of the hotel. Very attentive and genuinely friendly staff.

Really friendly hotel with lovely staff. The food was really nice and the icing on the cake for us was how our dog was made welcome too. Lovely clean dish of fresh water followed by a bowl of treats. thank you.

Closed due to lockdown, but the take away fish was delicious 😋

The tontine offers you wonderful hospitality as soon as you walk through the door! You will be met with a warm welcome and a genuine smile!
Seasonal cocktails are a win and their range of wines and whisky are just fantastic! If your the nominated driver you have a good choice of non alcoholic beers and mocktials.
I’ve ate here a couple of times and the menu is fabulous, no matter what time of the day. Food is freshly prepared and produce is locally sourced. I like the slight quirkiness of the menu and you can tell the chef puts pride into how your food is presented.
The rooms are just beautiful and the Tontine is a beautiful place to stay on the heart of Peebles x

Thank you so much for making Margaret’s 70th birthday so special. The meal was beautiful and joining in to sing happy birthday to her was lovely also. We will definitely be back
