A relaxed unhurried environment. EV charger on site a bit temperamental but others nearby ok. The Orangery was great tho remember a brolley (it is Scotland after all ☔️). Some wear and tear needing repair (but it was after the main season) so that should be sorted during winter.

Do not stay here.

Food awful-fish and chips we didn’t pay for see photo as chips not cooked,fish overcooked. One really good member of staff(Katie) the rest largely passive aggressive especially Margaret who claimed both the bar and restaurant fully booked -when they were empty.Breakfast diabolical.Do not stay here it’s a lovely setting and could be perfect but needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into at least the 1980s.Ghastly.

Ednam House Hotel

This hotel is in a good location and food quality is good. Service on the whole was good. It is a 'squeaky floorboard and worn carpet' type of establishment and could benefit from some simple enhancements to standards to lift it up.

Would return!

Nice welcoming hotel. Family room was lovely, main areas bit tired but character and period style to some extent. Breakfast good, views lovely on the river side. Unfortunate for anyone on the courtyard side still asleep that the recycle lorry emptied all the glass bins at 07:50. But would return. Kelso itself lovely place too.

Lovely old style hotel in Kelso

Lovely hotel and great freshly cooked breakfast , some of the decor is slightly tired and our room was in the sun and got quite hot , but windows open to cool it down a little , the gardens are very relaxing and there are plenty of places to sit and relax around the property

Climbing 4 steep flights of stairs to our attic room was a problem for me as I am slightly asthmatic. The room is in need of some serious TLC. We only ate dinner in the hotel restaurant on the first night of our stay and felt it was seriously overpriced. We eat out two or three times a month , so believe we are able to make this judgement! This is why we did not eat at your restaurant on our second night. My husband is a Guiness drinker and was very dismissive of the "canned equivalent" which you have on offer.

We had a nice 2 day stay at the hotel. It is a grand old building with lots of character. The room was a nice size with a large bed and bathroom. Breakfast was fine although there was a slight wait for the full Scottish breakfast on the first day as the restaurant was busy although it was freshly cooked when it arrived. We also had dinner the second night which was nice and received good service. The hotel is ideal for the centre of town where there were many pubs, restaurants and shops. Plus I thought the hotel was very reasonably priced at about £100 per night for a large double room including breakfast. My only gripe is no bottles of water in the room which seems stand these days for the numerous hotels we stay at and bizarrely no signs to hang on the door about cleaning etc. however overall a very nice hotel and would stay there again if returning to Kelso. Plus we thought Kelso itself was a lovely place and definitely worth a visit.
