We were there for the championship dog show and were made to feel welcome with our dogs. Happy to pay a bit extra to have them in the hotel from time to time, though they did sleep in our car overnight (which was our choice!) The room we were allotted was extremely convenient with easy access to the car park, so no need to go through the main bit of the hotel with the dogs.

The staff without exception were helpful and friendly. The food we had was very good, though a change of menu for dinner might be good. We had dinner on three nights and would have liked a bit more variety. Breakfast - we had the \"continental\" and the \"full breakfast\" - both examples were really good.

Overall a very enjoyable stay.

This hotel is in a great location and although a bit shabby now, was clean . The bed was not very comfortable and the bedding was compacted so somewhat heavy. Breakfast was good and tasty. Help yourself to tea or coffee but coffee not hot.
Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming on arrival. We enjoyed a drink beside the river.

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.

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 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.

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.
