Clean, friendly and well-located.

Excellent, spacious room which was very clean as was the en suite bathroom. There was a good breakfast menu and the cooking was very good. The location just off the central market place is excellent and it is a good spot for exploring the Borders. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful.

Nice room with lots of character, a well prepared breakfast with ample choice you only had to ask Robin and he would try to cater for any taste, The location was ideal only a short walk to the centre, and many places to visit in the surrounding area. Robin was a most genial host and a wealth of knowledge about the area, will be returning again

Lovely place top stay

This was a lovely place to stay, unfortunately we did not have time to appreciate the premises as we were on a whistle-stop business trip. The proprietor was very pleasant and even provided a picnic breakfast for one of our party who had to rush away before breakfast. A gesture which was very much appreciated.

Lovely B & B

We stayed one night in this quaint b & b the host was polite friendly and informative and served a lovely made to order breakfast. It is located in the centre of Kelso so its convenient for shops local pubs and cafes as well as Floors Castle but no noise issues in the evening. Onsite parking to the rear of the property was also a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and wouldnt hesitate to stay again.
