Key Information

Border Country Comfort and Recovery

Set just outside Peebles in the Scottish Borders, Macdonald Cardrona Hotel is a comfortable, well-rounded hotel overlooking the River Tweed and surrounding hills. It’s an easy choice for golfers, walkers, and weekend escapees who want space, scenery, and straightforward comfort without formality.

The hotel has a classic resort feel rather than boutique polish. Rooms are spacious and practical, many with river or countryside views, and designed for comfort. On-site facilities are a real plus, including an 18-hole golf course, a full leisure club with pool and gym, and a spa offering treatments and relaxation areas. Dining is relaxed and informal, with a restaurant serving familiar favourites and a bar that works well for post-round drinks or a quiet evening. Service is friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere is calm and unpretentious. It works especially well for quick getaways, golf outings, and vacations where you want everything in one location.
