We've just returned from a two night stay at Ednam House hotel. Its a hotel with a traditional feel. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a courtyard view. On the other side is the most magnificent river views. Breakfast was nice and staff extremely pleasant. Wouldnt hesitate to return or recommend to anyone considering a visit

Late trip to kelso

Beautiful location and lovely old building. Dated and needs a revamp. Cooked breakfast wasn’t the best. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable.

Weekend kelso

A great weekend break location in the town but quiet with fantastic views across the river. Food was excellent and most of the staff very friendly and helpful. Only 1 negative was the 1 of the breakfast staff, who was quire frankly terrible and her atitude almost spoilt the weekend. Though an older lady, she would benefit in further training around customer care.

Old style Traditional

Lovely big bedroom. Old fashioned, traditional and quirky, but good. Room clean and tidy. Bathroom very well decorated with huge bath and seperate walkin shower. Hotel could be drafty in places, so open fires were nice. Breakfast was great.
