Glorious stay at the Old Priory
We had a wonderful stay at the Old Priory. The room is so spacious and luxurious. Robin is such a kind, knowledgeable host. He so looked after us. I loved a delicious cooked breakfast each morning. The Old Priory is two minutes walk from Kelso's Main Square. The house has a beautiful back garden

Robin was a superb host and his property is lovely. By far the best place we stayed in for our week around the Scottish Borders. When our son left his wallet behind with all of his spending money, Robin found it and immediately mailed it back to the US for our son! Thank you for going above and beyond for our family!

Lovely B & B
We stayed one night in this quaint b & b the host was polite friendly and informative and served a lovely made to order breakfast. It is located in the centre of Kelso so its convenient for shops local pubs and cafes as well as Floors Castle but no noise issues in the evening. Onsite parking to the rear of the property was also a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

A gem of a B&B
This lovely old building offer good parking and a great position to enjoy all that Kelso and the surrounding area has to offer. Traditionally decorated in keeping with its age the property has seating areas in the garden and the conservatory for relaxing outside of the bedroom. We stayed in the Turret Room, which is curb side but not noisy with shutters effective in keeping out the light to aid a good night’s sleep. The room was clean and comfortable with a generous hospitality tray and a useful information pack. The breakfast was outstanding with a good range of hot options, alongside fresh bread, an array of homemade jams and marmalades, fruit and cereal. As a vegan I was well catered for.

The bed and breakfast was delightful, clean, conveniently located and the breakfast was lovely. Every morning the proprietor, Robin, harangad us with anecdotes about how awful the guests were. He made us feel very unwelcome. I would not recommend staying there unless you can interact with his wife instead.
