Cringletie House

Spacious rooms, dining experiences, large bed in our room, spacious bathroom, quiet, the historical finishes in the building combined with conventional improvements, and convenient parking. The grounds are well kept. The atmosphere is peaceful. The dinner staff remembered our preferences from night to night.

The whole hotel had a warm feeling and not austere like other class hotels in Scotland. Checking in with the receptionist was easy and straightforward and a wam welcome. Room was warm and all the facilities you could wish for. We had a meal in the restaurant both evenings. The Monday was a 5 course meal and splendid. What a wonderful touch; to meet the owner, Bill Cross who was very approachable. Tuesday evening we had the room service meal served in the restaurant. Again this meal was also exceptional thanks to the talented head chef. Breakfast were also wonderful and relaxed with everything you could with for. I know it's been a tough start from 2019 but this hotel definitely needs patronising. We will be back.

Cringletie is a luxurious location set in the Scottish Borders a few miles from Peebles. A first class example of Scottish hospitality the property is located in a tranquil setting where you can enjoy all the best of attention ensuring a fantastic stay. The suite we stayed in 'Melrose' was spacious and immaculate with very comfortable bedding. Complimentary tea, coffee and whisky was available in the room which was serviced daily to a high standard. The restaurant provided outstanding food cooked and presented to a very high standard with local produce and served by attentative, friendly staff . I have been fortunate to have visited Cringletie before ,the standard continues to be outstanding.

From the minute you drive up the long drive to the house which is all lit up you feel welcome. The staff (Victoria) were at the door to meet us with a warm welcome and show you to your room and explain about the hotel and the restaurant. The room is a classic old style room but with modern creature comforts and well laid out. Lots of nice touches left in the room for you and we had ordered wine to be delivered to the room and it was waiting there for us. Now the food was nothing short of first class and the restaurant is well laid out and the staff (Barry) were so attentive and explained everything and even had time for some friendly chat between courses. The menu apparently changes daily and you can pick individual courses or go for all seven courses. We went for 5 each and everything was perfect. The breakfast the following morning was brilliant and that was followed with a walk round the grounds which looked amazing due to the fresh snow everywhere. The hotel obviously prides themselves on customer service and while you do pay for that high level of service, it is worth treating yourselves every so often. So yes we would recommend the Craigletie house. Thank you.

The property is absolutely stunning. Breakfast was wonderful.
