We stayed for one night whilst down for a family wedding in the lovely market town of Kelso. The Townhouse is a beautifully-presented Georgian home overlooking the cobbled town square and must be among the nicest B&Bs in the country. The room had everything you'd need for a short stay and the period decor throughout was really lovely. The shower-room... More

We stayed at The Townhouse just for one night, to attend a family party in the area. We were very impressed with everything, the room, bathroom and the quality of the furniture and towels. Breakfast was fantastic and Christine more than happy to accommodate any request. View over the square at breakfast was really nice. Kelso was quiet even on... More

I have stayed in the Old Townhouse twice now and shame on me for not reviewing last time! I was there again this week, heading to Kelso Races and had the grand room. It's totally sumptuous, the bed is huge and felt like I was lying on a cloud - didn't want to leave it! The ensuite is a great... More

Spent a couple of very cosy nights at this luxury end bed & breakfast - tucked just off the main square. Room was the grand one overlooking the square, good for watching the Kelso life go by outside. Peaceful and comfortable stay, echoing previous comments. Christine was the perfect host, handy with recommendations about the local scene and more than... More

Good upmarket accommodation, enormous room overlooking historic cobbled square with large shower room. Very comfortable bed and excellent breakfast. Christine is a most friendly and welcoming owner. The Townhouse is located in the centre of Kelso and ideal to visit the attractions of the town and the surrounding Scottish Borders.

We had a lovely quiet room even though we were 50 yrs from the cobbled town square. The bed was so, so comfortable. Beautifully served breakfast in a lovely dinning room over looking the square. Christine the proprietor could not have been more helpful.

Had some difficulty in finding it originally, glad we persevered though..... Location is brilliant, overlooking the town square and Hall (situated opposite the Bank of Scotland). Lovely accommodation and very friendly welcome from Christine. Room was superb, with nice details on hand such as a compendium of games, just right for those wet borders weekends..:-) The bed was probably the... More

Its very kind of you to take the time to comment on your stay with us and I'm delighted you liked the bed. When I decided to try my hand at running a B&B I thought a comfortable bed essential so I'm really glad you like my choice of mattress. I hope you will come back and re-experience it sometime....
