Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa  

In a peaceful river valley on the banks of the River Tweed, just east of Peebles and about 20 miles from Edinburgh. Set at the heart of an 18‑hole golf course and a short walk from Glentress and Go Ape, this golf hotel and spa is ideal for countryside breaks and golf getaways.

Rooms lean toward classic country‑lodge style with seating areas in executive rooms and patios in deluxe rooms. Deluxe rooms feature Egyptian cotton linen, bathrobes and slippers; executive rooms add luxury toiletries and a work desk. Bathrooms often include separate bathtubs and showers, and many rooms enjoy fairway or valley views.

On‑site spa offers massages, body treatments, a sauna and steam room, supported by a heated indoor pool and fitness centre. Active guests get direct access to the 18‑hole golf course, table tennis/ping‑pong, picnic areas and a leisure club; a tour desk can arrange nearby trails and activities. Two bars and a lounge, free self‑parking and pet‑friendly rooms (dog supplement applies) round out the highlights — wake up to golf‑course views and river‑valley mornings.

Conference space, meeting rooms and a business centre cater to events and weddings, with express check‑in/out available. Wireless internet access and legacy ISDN/modem options keep teams connected.

Renwicks Restaurant serves British cuisine with views over the golf course and holds an AA rosette. Two bars/lounges, 24‑hour room service and a full cooked breakfast (available for a fee) complete the dining choices.
