One of the family...
The clue is in the name. We’re a family business through and through – family owned, family run, with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small and all offer good food drink, great beds and a ton of outdoor and indoor things to do and a fun place to work.
The Park
We’re slap bang in Peebles High Street and make the most of it. Offering 25 hotel bedrooms, a restaurant, bar and bakery to guests and locals. From the moment you open the door, our quirky welcome is sure to spark your imagination as our character packed spaces draw influence from the March Street textiles mill.

- You’ll have excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to both lead and work within a team and motivate people to deliver a great performance. Knowledge of how to develop and coach people and teams is also key to this role.
- You’ll have an understanding of current issues affecting Scottish tourism including changing population demographics, customer and employee trends and a knowledge of the social and economic environment.
What you’ll get from us

Part of the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, the Park is located in the charming Borders town of Peebles. With Glentress and the Tweed Valley on our doorstep,
With just 25 en-suite bedrooms, a history dating back to 1881, and plenty of characterful spaces to enjoy our bakery and butcher inspired menus, you’ll soon feel like part of the Park family.
2015 saw us transform from a tired, run of the mill hotel, into a ground-breaking hub of local culture and Scotland’s first upcycled hotel.
From the moment you open the door, our quirky welcome is sure to spark your imagination. An old fashioned red telephone box check-in, the smell of freshly baked bread, a vintage double decker bus, and upcycled bits and bobs from the March Street Mills project a real sense of both our and Peebles’ history and heritage.
