The Park is a 24-bedroom boutique hotel in Peebles, in the Scottish Borders. It is part of the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels and is about a 10-minute walk from its sister hotel, Peebles Hydro.
The Park Hotel occupies a former house once owned by Henry Ballantyne, whose brother David established the town's March Street Mills in 1884; textile references from the mills, including patchwork tweed upholstery and salvaged keepsakes, run through the interior design. The hotel's decor blends Victorian, 1950s style, and modern furnishings. The Park is part of the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels and sits close to its sister hotel, Peebles Hydro, in the town of Peebles in the Scottish Borders.
