Tweeddale MP David Mundell has congratulated Stobo Castle on winning the prestigious TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award.
The prize, awarded by millions of real travellers, puts Stobo among a small group of hotels worldwide who have been recognised for consistent excellence. Fewer than four thousand hotels worldwide have received a Travellers' Choice Award this year.
Commenting on the prestigious accolade, Mr Mundell said: "I'm delighted that Stobo Castle has won a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award. Tourism is a very important industry in our area and indeed, across the UK.
“It's very good news for Peeblesshire that the excellence of one of our local hotels has been globally recognised with this prize. The profile of the award will help to attract new visitors to the area and is a great reflection on the quality of tourism our region has to offer.
“I would like to congratulate all the staff at Stobo Castle for their fantastic achievement and wish them every success in the future."
