Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and offered a lovely view. The service was exceptional with the new management and chef providing great service. The location was beautiful, right on the riverbank, and the dining options available were fantastic, especially the Thai dishes. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel is nestled in the heart of Kelso, surrounded by beautiful riverside views. The rooms offer a cozy attic setting with a spacious, comfortable bed and a convenient walk-in shower. The service from the new management and chef was exceptional, providing friendly assistance throughout our stay. The authentic Italian pizza served at the dining was a delightful experience.
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The rooms offered stunning views and had walk-in showers. The bed was equally large and incredibly comfy. The service was top-notch with new management and a chef who were friendly and provided exceptional service. The location was breathtaking, nestled by the banks of the Tweed in beautiful surroundings. While the dining experience, especially the pancakes, was delightful, the overall facilities were outstanding.
