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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
