Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The rooms are a little dated but the friendliness of the staff, the hotel’s charm and the location definitely make up for that. I absolutely loved the lounges and their decor, a long with the views. Breakfast was delicious.

We've just returned from a two night stay at Ednam House hotel. Its a hotel with a traditional feel. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a courtyard view. On the other side is the most magnificent river views. Breakfast was nice and staff extremely pleasant. Wouldnt hesitate to return or recommend to anyone considering a visit

Weekend kelso

A great weekend break location in the town but quiet with fantastic views across the river. Food was excellent and most of the staff very friendly and helpful. Only 1 negative was the 1 of the breakfast staff, who was quire frankly terrible and her atitude almost spoilt the weekend. Though an older lady, she would benefit in further training around customer care.
