In-Room Spa

Steve — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 16:48:16 +0000

In-Room Spa Treatments for Guests at Cringletie

The enthusiasm for spa therapies and relaxing spa breaks appear to know no boundaries even in times of recession. A Spa break is a wonderful gift and a great way to relax and recharge - and for many the ritual of wandering the hotel clad in fluffy white dressing gowns is all part of the fun. Afterwards, relaxing with friends while browsing those style magazines and sipping tea or bubbly, is the perfect way to wind down.
This idyllic scene, however, is not always to everyone's liking. Single travellers, those shy retiring golfers and business folk with an hour in which to unwind don't always appreciate those corridor dashes, especially when they've left their room key back at their room.
So imagine the benefits of an in-room spa. No rush to the treatment rooms at the appointed hour and no need to rouse yourself from that heavenly state once the massage is over. At Cringletie, the spa therapist will pamper, oil, exfoliate and manicure you in the comfort of your own room. Whether you book a beauty treatment, a full body massage or a pedicure and manicure, at Cringletie it is all part of their room service.
Guests can choose from a range of Swedish massage therapies, Indian head massage, facials and beauty treatments. In addition they provide reflexology, threading, bridal makeup sessions and other specialist spa treatments on request.
And for those groups of ladies who prefer the dynamic of gossip and friendly banter - there is the unique option to languish together in one of the hotel's spacious suites with your own spa therapist and savour Cringletie's afternoon teas and views across the Scottish Borders. Add the bonus of Cringletie's expansive grounds, the hotel's babbling brook, woodland walks and the prospect of a delicious restaurant menu and you have a unique spa break with a difference.

Rosslyn Chapel

Steve — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 16:58:59 +0000

Just 10 miles away from Cringletie is Rosslyn Chapel, famous worldwide for the beauty of its carvings and its aura of mystery. Rosslyn's fame has grown even greater in recent years, since it featured in Dan Brown's book, The Da Vinci Code, and the film of the same name.

The Chapel was founded in 1446, and its carvings have intrigued scholars for centuries - as well as biblical stories, there are pagan symbols, 'Green Men' carvings, and references to the Knights Templar and freemasonry. Even if you don't want to 'crack the code' of the carvings, you will still marvel at their beauty.

Walking in the Scottish Borders

Steve — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:02:16 +0000

The Borders is one of Europe's most beautiful unspoilt regions. There are rolling hills, mature forests, superb river valleys and interesting towns and villages. Each season brings its own pleasures, beauty and colours.

The region is seamed with tracks and paths so that you can walk for an hour, a day or a week - pushing yourself with a long trek on the Southern Upland Way, or just meandering along a gentle woodland track.

There are a number of experienced local walking specialists in the Scottish Borders, should you fancy a more organised tour or some knowledgeable company along the way.

We are happy to put you in touch with them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Things to See & Do – WALKS AROUND CRINGLETIE

1.        Venlaw & Soonhope Burn
Distance :     4½ Miles
Terrain :     Forestry Roads
Equipment :     Strong Shoes / Boots

From the steps of the Old Parish Church, proceed along the High Street; at the Mercat Cross, turn left into the Northgate. Continue along the Northgate; at the first road junction, on the right, turn right, into Dean Park. A short walk, will lead you onto the Edinburgh Road (A703). Turn left into Edinburgh Road and follow this road 200 yards and take the first on your right, a steep incline, which ascends around Venlaw Hill. Before reaching the first house on Venlaw High Road, take the Forestry track that rises on your left, climbing further up Venlaw through the woods. If you are quiet you may see deer. Above a whinstone quarry, the track turns north up Soonhope Glen. Follow the track around the north side of the glen until a gate leads out of the woods. Do not go as far as Glenbield Farm but follow arrows pointing you downhill to cross the Soonhope Burn by plank bridge. Follow the fence up the other side and turn right onto the clear track. Follow the track down the glen to Soonhope Farm and then out to the main road. Turn right and return to the town centre via Innerleithen Road.

2. Hamilton Hill
Distance :     4½ miles
Terrain :     Rough Paths
Equipment :     Strong Shoes / Boots

A walk over hill and moorland, skirting Peebles Golf Course, return to Peebles by way of an old drove road and thereafter by Public Roads. A good panorama view over the town to the east.

Starting at the Old Parish Church, proceed over Cuddy Bridge and continue up the Old Town to Hay Lodge Park. Enter the park by the main gate and take the path immediately to the right. Continue on the path by the side of the high stone wall (Campbell’s Dykes) and at the end of the path pass through a small iron gate. Go up the Rae Burn track on the opposite side of the main Glasgow Road (A72). At the top of the steep incline follow the road over part of the Golf Course to Jedderfield Farm. Go through the gate on your right just past the farm and straight up the face of the field. Rejoin the road at the top which is now a drove road and previously the main road to and from Peebles, leading west. Enter this drove road over a stile and go through the woods until a second stile is reached which leads onto a open moorland. The line of the old Roman Road from the Fort at Lyne can be seen ahead of you as you come out of the wood to the moor. The Romans took this route to avoid the danger of the Neidpath Gorge. There are a few grouse on this parkland and from Hamilton Hill a superb eastern panorama over Peebles to Lee Pen an ancient volcano above Innerleithen. At this point the road disappears; take the narrow path which bears to the right. Follow this path far a mile along the face of Hamilton Hill until reaching a junction turn right and follow the road until Standalane Farm appears. At the foot of the hill turn right, past Rosetta house and Rosetta caravan park (on the right), into Rosetta Road and continue into Young Street back to Peebles turning left into the Old Town and right over Cuddy Bridge.

3.     The Sware
Distance :         5 miles
Terrain :         Dry on roads, wet patches by river walk
Equipment :    Strong shoes

Interesting mixture of river walk with visit to 14th Century Neidpath Castle and splendid views from top of Sware both east and west to Upper Tweeddale. A good walk to see autumn colours and bird life.
Turn right from the Old Parish Church and join the riverbank walk past the swimming pool. This path follows the river. This path follows the river to Manor Bridge and avoids the busy Glasgow Road, you can still climb up to visit Neidpath, built in the 14th Century. The skew Railway Bridge is listed as one of the finest examples of such a structure. From there you can walk to Manor Bridge on the river path or climb to the old railway line which is a haven for small birds in rose bushes and other small trees. Ascend the Manor Sware (with views across the Manor Valley from a viewpoint on your right). Continue following this minor road and on your left another viewpoint gives you a panoramic view of Peebles and the surrounding countryside, you will follow the road downhill, past Edderston Farm, entering Peebles via Edderston Road, continue its length and turn right into Caledonian Road and then bear left over Tweed Bridge and hence back to the Old Parish Church.

4.    Cademuir
Distance :    7 miles
Terrain :      Path, drove road,    sheep paths
Equipment: Boots

From the Old Parish Church cross the Tweed Bridge bear right along Caledonian Road, second left up Edderston Road and follow for approx. 1 mile until it finishes at Tantah House. Pass through the metal gate on your right and follow the track along the side of Tantah House wall. Take the field gate on your left and ascend across the face of the hill following the upper path for the best views. Cademuir was once the common grazing land of Peebles and you are following the track of the burghers who exercised the ancient rights of soumin and roumin (grazing for cows and sheep) written into their title deeds. As you cross the ridge you have a superb view of the upper valleys of Manor and Tweed with Tinto Hill the big square one ahead of you and Broad Law the large round one at the head of Manor to your left. You descend slightly to the first of the forts and you can easily see why this site was chosen. Follow the ridge and down the drove road to the tarmac ‘B’ road turn left and follow the road back to Peebles through good arable land with grouse moors of Haystoun Estate rising above you to your right.
