Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the breakfast was of good quality. I loved the four-poster bed in my room, although having a chair to sit and watch TV would have been a nice addition. The hotel's great shower made my mornings refreshing. The service was top-notch, accommodating my request for an earlier breakfast. The location was perfect, right in the center of town with the pretty square and all the attractions of Kelso close by. While the dining experience was enjoyable with special extra touches, it was a disappointment that the freshly plunged coffee wasn't included. Overall, it was a lovely experience.
The hotel is situated close to the town centre and offers helpful advice on the local area. The rooms provide a chair with a view in the charming town centre. However, the dining options are not included, and pricing may vary. Great location, but some aspects could be improved.
The hotel offers wonderful views and a great shower, but lacks even a chair to sit and watch TV. The quality of breakfast is good, providing a mix of pros and cons for a stay.
