The room and bathroom were both very clean. The decor was very muted and beige/ brown. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay again if I needed to be in Kelso.

Great place to stay or just have a beer. We only stayed one night, but would have no problem in staying longer next time. Started the next morning with a freshly cooked breakfast which was excellent.

Lovely pub with rooms, and I had a super big room with a bath and huge bed! Easy check in, lovely staff. Enjoyed dinner, lots of choice. Again, great choice at breakfast but service at breakfast let it down - young lad who didn’t appear to be interested in the residents at all. I’d not let it put me off staying again.

Stayed for 2 nights. Great hotel, very clean and the staff were fantastic. Breakfasts freshly cooked were great. Also the food in the restaurant was very good. Kelso is a great base for travelling around the Scottish Borders. Will definitely stay again
