Fantastic Week

We stayed in Kelso as a central point for visiting the South Borders of Scotland and this apartment was perfect. Right in the heart of Kelso. Lots of places to eat, shop, tour the town and its attractions like Floors Caste and the Antique Fair. Being next to the Abbey, the views out of each window was a painting. Kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies if you want to cook your own meals. Parking is located on the road at the apartment if you can get a spot or very close by is a free parking lot. Highly recommend this lovely apartment. We would definitely stay here again

When last minute travel plans turn into a wonderful discovery

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kelso and at Jane's flat. Comfortably spacious, quiet, centrally located, with views out to Kelso Abbey and the graveyard very atmospheric. Perusing Jane's collection of vintage books, maps and slightly old fashioned paraphernalia made for pleasant evenings with a glass of wine in hand. We would happily stay here again and indeed, look forward to our return to the Scottish Borders (a last minute travel decision ! ). So much to see and do. Lovely gentle countryside with brilliant historical castles and abbeys. And, Hunter's, the butchers/petite bistrot to the front of the building was fabulous ! Thank you Jane.

Lovely apartment, great location

This was our second time here, and every bit as good as the first. Perfect base for walks along the rivers Tweed and Teviot, and we also enjoyed visits to the Great Tapestry of Scotland in its new home in Galashiels as well as to Mellerststain House, Floors Castle and Lindisfarne. It was an added bonus to be in Kelso for the annual Civic Week with all the festivities associated with installing the Kelso Laddie 2022, including lots of action from the pipe band, superb fireworks, and an amazing equestrian procession for the Rideout to Yetholm. And the flat is almost next door to Hunters, which must be the best butcher/ deli in Scotland. Many thanks Jane for a very comfortable stay in your lovely apartment.
