Peebles Hydro
Peebles, Scotland

Peebles Hydro Peebles, Scotland In a nutshell
The Peebles Hydro is a "slightly formal, atmospheric, old-style hotel" that still manages to be "very welcoming to children." The creche is described as "excellent" and kids' facilities "fab" all of which means you can take advantage of the "lovely" spa and pool. Service is also very good, for example: "Housekeeping will dishwash baby bottles." It's "quiet and peaceful" and outside are "lovely grounds and countryside to explore." All in all a "brilliant place for the weekend."
