Royal Holyrood & the Best of Edinburgh
Proudly dominating Peebles from Venlaw Hill for over a century, the 4-star Peebles Hydro Hotel is a stunning Victorian building surrounded by beautiful forest and rolling hills – the perfect countryside retreat. With a superb restaurant, several inviting lounge and bar areas, and a leisure club with a swimming pool, spa bath and sauna, it is an idyllic base for this short break in the Scottish Borders. From here, we visit historic Edinburgh which is brimming with cultural attractions and shopping opportunities and visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

We will enjoy an included visit to Holyrood Palace, the official Scottish residence of His Majesty the King. Located at the bottom of the Royal Mile, the palace has an intriguing history with its association with Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Visit the state apartments, throne room and great gallery.
You will then have free time in Edinburgh to explore at your own pace. The imposing castle is well worth a visit or you can explore the Royal Mile with its shops and attractions.

Included Highlights
After breakfast today, we visit one of Scotland's gems – Rosslyn Chapel. Founded in 1446 by Sir William St Clair, the chapel is described as ‘a treasure in stone’ due to its magnificent ornate stonework and intricate carvings. The beauty of its setting and the mysterious symbolism that surrounds the site has made it an inspiration for the best-selling novel ‘The Da Vinci Code,’ with its links to the Holy Grail legend.
This afternoon, we will return to the hotel to give you some free time to relax and enjoy the hotel facilities. Why not take a swim in the large swimming pool or visit the spa? The hotel has its own 1881 Gin distillery, with tours and tastings available through reception, as well as their very own alpaca experiences!

Peebles Hydro Hotel
For over a century the landmark, Victorian Peebles Hydro Hotel has proudly overlooked its nearby charming Border town. The building dates from the late 19th century and is surrounded by beautiful forest. With classic décor, guests can enjoy lovely views from the hotel's restaurant, The Grill Room, which offers favourite dishes made from locally sourced produce. Not The Cocktail Bar and The Miller Lounge are the perfect, relaxing spots for a wee drink, both serving beer brewed on the grounds. A stroll around the Hydro’s extensive grounds will bring you to putting greens, a giant chess board and a microbrewery, and you might also stumble upon birds and bees (the hotel keeps its own chickens, runner ducks and European bees!). The leisure club boasts a state-of-the-art gym, fantastic swimming pool, sauna and spa bath, so you can really unwind during your stay (extra charges may apply, please pay locally).
