The Park - Peebles

My husband and I booked a last minute overnight stay, with the intention of visiting some local pubs in Peebles. We booked a signature double room, breakfast included, for £215. All the staff members we spoke to were polite and friendly. The room itself was very big and was great to have lots of space. The bathroom was also spacious, and nicely decorated. There were a few things that could be improved: There was no water in the room. Even a bottle of tap water would have been great for during the night. There was also no milk for coffee/tea in the room. These things I thought were standard in hotels, so I was surprised. The coffee machine did not look like it had been cleaned and the fridge in the room had crumbs and hairs at the bottom of it. My husband and I went down to the bar area for a drink before heading out. The bar staff were again polite but the atmosphere was extremely sombre. I would suggest that the bar area has some quiet background music playing. Breakfast in the morning was a very big let down. The continental spread they put on was beautiful but the cooked breakfast items were chewy and over cooked (especially the sausages! The haggis was like a puree and we did not eat it. We did have high expectations for this hotel, as it is associated with peebles hydro, but it was not worth the money we spent and we probably wouldn't return.
