Spectacular location and really friendly and helpful staff. Made to feel very welcome. Food was very good and the bar and restaurant were very nice areas. Beutiful open fire in the lobby. The room was run down though. Stained carpets and the bath didnt drain.

Another fabulous stay

Not the first time we have stayed here, as we love it. Friendly, welcoming staff, lovely comfortable rooms with rustic charm. Great location and safe parking.
Diane, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Friendly staff, a good breakfast, but a tired attic bedroom with damaged furniture and showert fitting. We've tried Ednam House Hotel twice in recent years. There won't be a third time until the owners invest in refurbishment.

We just stayed overnight on our way to Fort William, but it was a beautiful place with beautiful views, kind and helpful staff, and a great breakfast.

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
Neil, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Central location quite a nice hotel

Convenient hotel. Shame the fires werent lit to give it that homely feel. No atmosphere or background music in the bar. Breakfast a bit hit and miss - the self service buffet excellent choice but cooked breakfast disappointing - one morning no eggs and another morning no gas??

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.
Iain, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely beautiful property, we had an amazing view of the river tweed and the gardens are lovely to walk around. You are in walkable distance to everything in Kelso which is great.

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.
Gareth, 1-night trip

Hotel very tired and in need of renovation, however, breakfast was good.
Louisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Exceptional beautiful room, so spacious decorated to perfection. Wonderful large bathroom with extra large bath tube. Breakfast was the most delish we have had in the UK. Location in walking distance of all shops and the Kelso Abbey just across the road. Exceptional stay.
Ian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
