Nice hotel conveniently located in Kelso’s Town Centre. Quiet and clean. Great on suite bathroom

We had a great stay. Even though we were on the first floor we didn't hear a lot of noise from the bar.
The breakfast was excellent with a great choice. Only downside was the service was slow and the food was Lukewarm when arrived.
But plenty of choice.

Nice clean hotel, unfortunately we had too many stairs to climb, we are both pensioners, not the hotel's fault we should have checked. TV was poor can't understand how they had SKY downstairs but not upstairs. The breakfast lounge and the food on offer was 5*

Great place to stay or just have a beer. We only stayed one night, but would have no problem in staying longer next time. Started the next morning with a freshly cooked breakfast which was excellent.

Room was perfect for the price. Our room was a little stuffy due to no air flow. Room had a small fan that helped a little. Everyone was very friendly and location was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was very nice.

Lovely pub with rooms, and I had a super big room with a bath and huge bed! Easy check in, lovely staff. Enjoyed dinner, lots of choice. Again, great choice at breakfast but service at breakfast let it down - young lad who didn’t appear to be interested in the residents at all. I’d not let it put me off staying again.

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.
