The Tontine Hotel

Peebles, Scottish Borders

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A locally run hotel on the High Street of Peebles in the Scottish Borders, with dog rooms booked by phone and dogs welcome in the bar and bistro.

On the High Street of Peebles, with views of the River Tweed to the rear, The Tontine Hotel stands in the heart of a historic Scottish Borders town. It is a locally run, three star hotel of 36 ensuite rooms, all with new Hypnos beds, and a dog friendly hotel that sets out to give every guest warm and welcoming hospitality.

Pet friendly rooms are limited and depend on availability, so book them direct with the team by phone or email. Each takes two dogs at most. In the public areas a dog stays on a leash or in a cage, and please don't leave yours alone in the room: the rule is there for the safety of the housekeeping staff.

The bar and the bistro are open to dogs, but the main restaurant and the lounge area are not. The Tontine doesn't say which menus are served in the bar and bistro, so check when you book. The Sunday roast reaches the bistro, with crisp roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese and homemade gravy. Afternoon tea is served in the Callants Lounge, where dogs aren't allowed.

Mornings begin with a full traditional Scottish breakfast or the signature buttermilk pancakes, and cyclists have bike storage, a drying room and a bike wash. Neidpath Castle and the River Tweed from Peebles, on Wildpack's list of walks, is 0.1 miles away for a first outing with your dog, and Glentress Forest Buzzard's Nest Trail is 2.2 miles off.
