Found in the gorgeous countryside of the Scottish Borders, Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa is an all-encompassing golf resort, complete with stunning natural scenery.

The parkland style golf course is set upon the rolling hills of the Borders, with the River Tweed flowing peacefully alongside it. However, do not be fooled by its beauty, Cardrona can be a real test of golf, as those who have played it on the PGA Europro Tour can testify.

Whilst the idyllic location seems far removed from the real world, Cardrona is only 40 minutes from Edinburgh and 90 from Glasgow, a great place to escape from either city for a short break. The hotel itself offers guests luxury modern accommodation, with a variety of excellent on-site facilities, including; a restaurant, two bars, pool, spa and fishing in the River Tweed.

The 99-bedroom hotel at Cardrona opened officially in 2003, and is the ideal counterpart to Dave Thomas' excellent golf course.

Just east of Peebles, on the banks of the free-flowing River Tweed, the 4* hotel provides guests with all the modern features you would expect, including satellite TV, internet connection and top-class furnishings. For some added luxury, opt for one of the upgraded bedrooms, complete with patio access to the golf course.

The state-of-the-art spa and leisure facilities provide guests with the chance to use the 18-metre swimming pool, sauna, steam room, techno gym, beauty treatment rooms, tranquil room and sunshower.

The Renwicks Restaurant has recently been awarded an AA Rosette, serving top quality cuisine using the finest Scottish beef, lamb, pork and wild white fish with local organic vegetables and dairy products all accompanied with panoramic views of the golf course.
