Poor night sleep
If you going to be staying on a Saturday just be prepared that in the early hours of Sunday it gets noisy with people. There was people talking loudly and shouting. Not a great night sleep

Really good apartment but could be better!
Really nice apartment in a great location to the square. Close by to the bars, cafes, restaurants and also not far from the Castle and main roads to get into Kelso. Check in was easy as the owner sent us details of how to get in and everything was very straight forward. Rooms were comfy, well decorated and it was a fantastic space overall. Genuinely felt really cosy and at home as soon as we entered, and it was especially great to have so much storage space including a walk in wardrobe. However, we were disappointed that when we arrived we noticed straight away there were no toiletries in the room, not even any toilet paper. We booked via Hotels.com and it definitely stated these items would be provided so we didn't think to bring any. Thankfully there is a local Boots and Coop nearby so we grabbed some basics but would have been helpful to know this upfront. The other things that brought down our rating was the cleanliness of the place including dust and animal hair. Not sure the carpets and floors had been recently hoovered or mopped as there was animal fur everywhere. It completely covered our socks and trousers. On the other hand, sheets and towels were clean and ready to use. We also had one night when the ceiling started leaking. This wasn't heavy but something that needs looked at. The fridge also leaked which meant some of our food got ruined too. Overall, definitely recommend this place but I think there's a few things that need to be looked at!

Excellent dog friendly accommodation. Suited our needs. Clean and comfortable. Could do with a new stair carpet but I think the owners are in the process of upgrading. Would highly recommend

Town Centre Accommodation
No-One to check you in! Text number on door, no reply! Super Cental Location. Room is basic and comfortable, much smalker than pictures. Could do with a deep clean in bathroom! Not suitable for anyone elderly, disabled etc as lengthy spiral staircase with too many stairs. No Lift! Was not made aware of this!

Money for nothing
Nice little village. Hotel very central to most amenities. Problem was the suite we were in. Looked like it was a botch job until they get round to refurbishment Bedroom clean and comfortable. Wouldn't want to use bath or shower as black mould marks on plaster tape around bath and shower curtain not up to scratching. Complained to whoever l spoke to person listed on paperwork. He was Very rude. Told me if l didn't like the room, to leave keys on table and go stay somewhere else. Taking into account this was 9pm on August Bank Holiday, we had been driving for 6 hours and l am disabled. He couldn't care less if he tried. 5 minutes later the owner came to see us. He said he understood our situation that the oven was a 'metal grease hole'. The kitchen worktops were sticky and unhygienic and the place did not live up to its rating. Owner agreed with what we stated and apologised. That however still left us paying good money for inferior accommodation.

If you wantca sleep. Dont go here
The entry to this property is via a spiral staircase. We were on the third floor which was totally inappropriate for us as we are in our 60s. The surroundings were very noisy from adjacent pubs and morning delivery vans. Room was very small and nothing like the pictures shown online. Plenty coffee, etc and a small fridge but all very cramped. Would i stay again. No

I’ve stayed here several times, it’s a clean, safe and comfortable guest house. I was on the top floor which gives you great views over the cobbled streets but it’s 60 steps so you don’t want to forget anything and have to go back down again. Nice facilities in the room, fridge, microwave, plenty of tea and coffee. I’m already booked for a months time from now.

I’ve stayed here a few times, it’s an unusual set up, you get the front door code texted to you on the day, which all works fine actually. The room is fine, nicely decorated, the shower is ok. The overwhelming feeling I had was that it wasn’t worth £150 for 2 people for 2 nights, in October (out of season...& during a pandemic). Plus no breakfast. Great location for discovering the town.
