    Close to centre, clean and nicely furnished throughout.

    These are only minor things: Storage etc in bedrooms could be a bit better - large wardrobes but little or no shelving or drawer space. Some hooks in bathrooms would also be good. Provision of shower gel and hand soap in bathrooms would be welcome. There didn't appear to be any timer or central thermostat for the heating. There were thermostats on the radiators and they were powerful enough, but temperature control was a bit hit or miss.

    Very stylish and spacious flat, modern high quality and well equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms and very good condition throughout - almost felt brand new. Great location and free parking available within 50 metres or so. Own front door and stairwell - not shared with other apartments.

    Nothing springs to mind. Very happy with the flat and its condition and location, and the host's helpfulness.

    Proximity to the town square is excellent as all amenities on the doorstep. Plenty of free parking close by. Rooms were big and clean, nice and bright, with 2 bathrooms (one ensuite). Showers are big and plenty hot water and pressure. Comfy beds and kitchen with every appliance required, but we didn't use them all. Windows not capable of opening and locked closed (there was a safety reason for this and I understand) but fans were in each bedroom and the kitchen / living room were air conditioned by a powerful unit. Host was contacted by phone before we arrived and he very pleasant and helpful.

    Clearer instructions regarding which bin could be used for recycling. It was directly opposite a very busy and noisy pub. How I recognise that this is not directly related to the actual property

    the flat was very clean and well decorated. Facilities provided were of a high standard and the beds and seating were comfortable

    Liked everything

    The apartment is beautifully appointed and has everything you'd need for a trip to a lovely Border town. The photographs don't do this central apartment justice. It is very smart and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay Visited for a family wedding. It's in centre of town . We didn't need parking, but plenty around if needed.

    The only minor issue was that the shower in the en suite bathroom did not have a soap holder Everything else to make our stay pleasant had been done. There was a folder with places of interest nearby and recommendations for local restaurants.

    Barclay House was in an excellent location and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The appartment was superb and was immaculate on arrival. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Kelso. Also very convenient for local bus services.

    Appartment is on the first floor, but the stairs are quite long. No problem for the young and fit, but good to take into account for those who are not.

    We had fantastic weather the weekend we stayed. it got a little bit clammy in the flat as we were unable to open any windows. No issue at all during the day as we were mostly out. I'm used to sleeping in a room with an open window, so this may not be an issue for everyone. Also TBF, I would imagine that baking sunshine and gtemperatures in the twenty's isn't a regular feature of Kelso weather ;-)

    The Booking.com app provided the wrong lock box number. A message to the owner was swiftly responded to with the correct number. When we left, like idiots we left the wrong set of keys in the box. Simon was extremely understanding about this and a fix was quickly agreed. Thanks Simon!

    Nothing.

    Good communication with the owner. On arrival the accommodation was spotlessly clean and warm. Apartment was really well equipped and had everything we needed for a weekend break. It was right in the centre of Kelso so everything was in walking distance and there was free parking behind the accommodation.
