As is the tradition at Macdonald hotels, Cardrona Hotel’s leisure facilities are not limited to indoor pursuits – in fact, the surrounding golf course and 200 acres of grounds are a visual asset from all areas, not least of all the pool. Other amenities include a gym, sauna and steam room. The spa also offers guests a number of therapies and treatments, favouring Elemis products alongside Jessica Nails.

A four-star hotel situated on the Scottish borders, Cadrona Hotel is part of the nationwide Macdonald brand, and swathed in warm tones and cosy soft furnishings offers 99 rooms and suites overlooking the River Tweed.
Priding itself on an ability to welcome guests with a plethora of preferences, the hotel has three restaurant and bar areas – Renwicks being the main port of call for fine dining and Scottish favourites, while Spikes Bar is a less formal setting for drinks and snacks and very much the domain of golfers. There is also a lounge and cocktail bar – open throughout the day for drinks and afternoon tea.

Staff were friendly and helpful here. Facilities were good apart from staff decided to start cleaning steam room and sauna when we were using them, would have been better if they had informed us as we had to wait until they were done to use these. Spa treatment room was lovely and treatment was very good.

The spa itself was very nice and the therapist was excellent: very attentive and professional. What let the experience down slightly was the fact that the spa desk was run by the leisure supervisor, who seemed to be on his own and was very busy, covering a large area. This meant several periods of having to stand around waiting for him to arrive, which was made worse by the fact that we needed him to let us through the door between the spa and the leisure changing facilities because our key card had not been set up properly due to the system crashing. The post-spa experience was also rendered somewhat less relaxing by the three-flight climb up the stairs back to our room because of the broken lift.

The spa itself was overall great. Very relaxing atmosphere and well trained masseuses. I would definitely come back for the spa side of things.

Spa facilities were good - the treatment rooms were off to one side with a quiet and low-lighted waiting area and a post-treatment relaxation room with drinks and magazines available. I had to wait nearly an hour after my pre-booked treatment time until I was able to receive my treatments, with no explanation given as to why, but my sister and mother who were also with me were both taken in at the times they had booked for. 18 metre swimming pool was a good size and had sun loungers next to it for those who wanted to relax by the pool. There was also a steam room and sauna beside the pool which gave alternative options.

Check In was very slow even though only one person in front of us. Phones were continually ringing bu no one answering. Package included Prosecco and strawberries on arrival, these were not in the room. Tried calling reception but no one answering had to go to reception where I was told it was not included, I showed my confirmation, and then they arranged for the strawberries and Prosecco to be delivered to our room.
Food was excellent but was let down by service. We had to wait one hour after our starter for our main course, we had to ask for this and were questioned were we sure we hadn’t had our meal? Young man who seemed to be in charge was not in the ball. We could see others complaining. No apology.very poor. Same again at breakfast we were not offered toast, help yourself coffee kept running out. Food served buffet style in Bali Marie, but not covered therefore went cold quickly. Staff not on top of replenishing food.

The experience we had was not what we expected of a hotel of this standard. When we arrived (at the correct check-in time) it was busy and everyone was being told that their rooms were not ready. We were told that we had been upgraded because our room was not ready either. When we arrived we found that the bathroom was very nice but there was no valance on the divan bed, the carpet was completely threadbare and the ice bucket and tray were covered in dust and fingerprints - with only one water glass laid out. We decided not to request to be moved as there were clearly no other rooms ready and we had spa appointments booked soon. Because we had been moved, the prosecco and robes/slippers that were included in our package were not placed in our room until after we had returned from our spa treatments - and even then only one set of robes/slippers was provided and we had to request the second at reception. To make matters worse, one of the robes was still damp when I unpacked it and tried to put it on in the evening! The food in the restaurant was delicious but, although the staff were friendly, service was very slow and inefficient. We would have purchased more drinks during the meal if we had been asked or could have caught someone's eye, and at one point the waiter tried to take my plate away whilst I was literally in the middle of eating - cutlery raised in mid-air! Most surprising was the fact that the lift was broken, so we had to walk three floors between the spa and our room. We heard that the lift had been out of order for a couple of weeks - totally unacceptable when that seemed to be the only lift in the hotel. The leisure area was very nice and we did not use the golf facilities so cannot comment on those.

The over all hotel itself wasn’t very up to date, a bit scruffy on a personal view. I ended up purchasing the valentine spa overnight deal. I would say it was understaffed and needed a better management system of training on front of house and particularly in the restaurant. They had missed our reservation for dinner and we were told to come for 45 minutes later than the time I had booked. Also we had to wait 20 minutes for a table at breakfast, never have I had to wait for a table so early? The staff were amongst themselves chatting as I could see several tables were free however they had dirty plates and cups etc from people who had been previously sat there. Once we did arrive to our table on either side of myself both the tables remained with the dirty dishes which I thought wasn’t very professional or well managed. The food however was very good so couldn’t fault that however I personally wouldn’t stay here again although I would come back to use the spa facilities.

Hotel is in a nice setting in the Tweed Valley, just 5 minutes outside of Peebles. Rooms were a good size and bathrooms had been recently refitted to a very high standard. Food in the hotel restaurant was very nice with a good selection to pick from on the set dinner menu which was part of the spa break package we were on. Space in the restaurant was a little tight, due to the configurations of the furniture they had laid out, and as it was open plan onto the bar area, it was a little noisy during our meal when larger parties were having drinks in the bar area.
