This Hotel is a very good stopping-off point in the Borders. It's a good value 3 star hotel in a great location on the banks of the River Tweed, a short walk from Kelso's old town square. We have stayed here three times on our way to the Highlands, and will do so again.

Beautiful property. Upon retrospect, we probably would have enjoyed booking one of the higher priced room to get the full experience rather than the standard room up on the attic floor.

This hotel is in a great location and although a bit shabby now, was clean . The bed was not very comfortable and the bedding was compacted so somewhat heavy. Breakfast was good and tasty. Help yourself to tea or coffee but coffee not hot. Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming on arrival. We enjoyed a drink beside the river.
