Nice, spacious room with everything you could possibly need and more. Great breakfast with lots of nice choices. Conveniently close to the bus stop from Berwick-Upon-Tweed. The only slight downside was that the pub patrons were noisy outside on the Saturday night.

A quirky old coaching inn located within walking distance of the centre of Kelso, fantastic breakfast, room very spacious though not sure about the movement sensitive under bed lights, when mentioned to reception on check out they said it was an experiment so may be gone by now

We made the mistake of staying on a Saturday night. It was quite noisy from the bar below and there was no space in the restaurant for us to have dinner.

Stayed for 2 nights. Great hotel, very clean and the staff were fantastic.
Breakfasts freshly cooked were great.
Also the food in the restaurant was very good.
Kelso is a great base for travelling around the Scottish Borders.
Will definitely stay again

An OK hotel
The hotel was adequate, Clean, friendly and reasonably comfortable. A rubber mat in the shower would have been good as I found it difficult not to slip. and the food was good but more attention to quality rather than quantity is needed.
