Nestling on the banks of the River Tweed, in a beautiful valley just three miles east of Peebles, Cardrona welcomes you to one of the most relaxing areas of Scotland. Despite this peaceful setting, it is only 20 miles from Edinburgh on a major roadway and so is within easy striking distance of Scotland's vibrant capital city. Lying at the heart of an 18 hole golf course, the hotel and country club offers luxurious accommodation, wonderful food (AA rosette-awarded Renwicks restaurant) and drink, impressive business centre, and state of the art Spa and leisure facilities. The bedrooms come as standard with satellite TV, direct dial modem and ISDN lines, tea/coffee making facilities, bathrobes, trouser press and ironing board. Please note that the hotel doesn't accept any cash payments
