Kelso is lovely and the hotel was lovely also. Had the honeymoon suite but had kids above us running about all night when we were told kids shouldn’t be in there and weren’t booked in. Kind of ruined it as we didn’t manage much sleep at all because of it

We stayed in Ednam on a stopover for one night.
The room was good and clean. We had a meal in the bar and this was good but could have done with a bigger menu.
The staff were excellent and we would stay again

The hotel was lovely, huge bathroom. Way too quiet for us though. Breakfast was over cooked, eggs on my wife’s eggs benedict were nearly hard boiled, bacon was tough. Very steep stairs down to breakfast room. The bar was closed most of the day, with a bell for service. We tried it but no one came.
The staff were lovely, but just not enough of them, and same ones we’re doing everything. With the size of the hotel, this was an impossible task. We ended up spending most of ur time at the hotel opposite.

We had to sit in an upstairs room for breakfast which meant a walk down steep stairs to fetch our tea, juice and toast for breakfast.
The room was okay but there was a silly bath stuck in one corner that gurgled constantly when the loo in the bathroom was flushed. Bathroom was very cramped too. Best thing was the lovely but untidy garden for walking our dog. We were not impressed when we asked to stay an extra night that the price for that night was around £30 more than the previous nights and we were not told.
The hotel seems to have gone downhill since we stayed in 2022.

We enjoyed a lovely 2 night break in a courtyard room, which was quiet with a view overlooking the front of the hotel.
The bathroom was bright and clean in a modern style and the room more in keeping with traditional style.
The mattress was a bit tired and I think could do with renewing to make it more comfortable.
The food in the restaurant was of a good quality albeit the choice was a more limited than I expected.
The cost of the evening meals seemed particularly expensive vis-a-vis other places we have stayed, and we may not have felt this as much if the tables had been laid with white tablecloths to give the air of a higher class restaurant. As it were, the cutlery, napkins, and glassware were all good quality but the tables had no covering and as a consequence appeared cheap.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The building was beautiful. The furnishings however need updated. The seat cushions were worn down and uncomfortable. Our bathroom had no heat. We had to have a fan and portable heater going just to o try and get heat. The front desk staff was not very understanding or caring. When we first arrived we had got an attic room. It was awful. The carpet and bad base were very dirty and the paint was peeling off the sink. We are not snobs but the price was ridiculous for the quality of that room. We had to end up paying even more to switch rooms. I would not book here again. I hate to be negative but don’t believe the photos you see online.

Enjoyable stay. But needs updating.

We enjoyed our stay at Ednam. Its a beautiful old house in a really lovely and convenient location with beautiful river views. And lovely Christmas trees in every reception room.However it is desperately in need of updating. There were some cobwebs in our room which suggested cleanliness wasnt top! Bathroom tiles with black mould. Bed was comfy though. Breakfast on day 1 was excellent. Good choices and services lovely. Day 2 which was Christmas eve wasnt quite as good. Only 1 girl serving and she wasnt as friendly. I would possibly stay again but would pay for a bigger better room. Our room wasnt as nice as the ones in the photos.

I didnt like the position of a room for pensioners like us. Upstairs...then more stairs and then along corridors. I was exhausted and breathless by the time I reached room 36.
Instead of going to a nearby restaurant as I couldnt face the return journey we ordered takeout.
So I was istensibly trapped in our room.
The girl in charge of taking names for breakfast was hopeless. There were no bowls for cereal and another resident had to tell us where to find one.

It was Nice but not great

It nice, the ground are amazing but the stay was over priced. It interior is a bit run down, I like the old world manner feel but it dose have to have a polish and looked after feel to make it that way, this did not have that. The room was large and clean and a large bathroom but the decors was not what you see in the the website pic, sink and food was well over priced two drink for nearly £20 is a bit much but the pub across the road is a very great alternative for drinks and food. - in all it was a nice break but once again for the price I paid - it was not worth it! I can see why the older clientele or wedding like this place
