AA 3 Star Hotel, Award Winning Restaurant
In a land of castles and country estates, what could be more perfect than a stay in an 18th century country castle? The original house was built in 1782 and enlarged in 1854 and is an excellent example of Scottish Baronial style. Nestling in 4 acres of beautiful woodland grounds overlooking the Royal and ancient town of Peebles, Castle Venlaw Hotel continues the country house tradition, bringing a perfect combination of relaxed informality and the elegance of another age.
Castle Venlaw offers 12 exceptionally spacious, fully refurbished rooms. All the rooms have full en-suite facilities and are centrally heated with thermostatically controlled radiators, tea and coffee making facilities, direct-dial telephone and remote control with satellite channels. The rooms all enjoy magnificent views. Our deluxe rooms are all much larger and provide even more spectacular views. 4 of our 12 bedrooms offer four poster beds. Our Glenturret romantic suite has a large bedroom with two bathrooms as well as a large seating area. Our triple room and four bedded room make the hotel ideal for families or adults travelling together.
Tucked away at the top of the tower is our family suite. All our rooms are named after malt whiskies and have a miniature of the appropriate malt in a plaque in the door. Our guests can enjoy a visit to the Library where they will be able to sample the malt after which their room is named.
The Scottish Borders abounds with its own natural produce and our Chef, David Harrison, uses local and Scottish produce whenever he can. The restaurant is a magnificent room with high ornate ceilings, superb views and an original parquet floor, but whilst we have concentrated on style and elegance, we have also worked to retain an informal and friendly atmosphere.
The culinary expertise offered by our restaurant has recently been reflected by being awarded several high gradings. We have now recognised by the AA with a rosette for our food and have obtained a Gold Plate restaurant award with Hotel Review Scotland. You need to taste to believe!
