    Would have preferred a separate shower in bathroom upstairs and think the 2 easy chairs in sitting room need reupholstering or replacing. No instructions for oven which kept switching off. However, none of these things would deter us from going again.

    Clean, spacious accommodation in the centre of Kelso. Perfect for our party of 4 adults and one child aged 12. We all had comfy beds. The kitchen was well equipped with a large table we could all sit at so didn't use the dining room. Loved the coat hooks and boot rack in lobby which kept all our clutter at bay.

    Everything suited us perfectly.

    The style of the furnishings suited the building. The quality of the bed linen and towels. The kitchen was equipped with everything that you could need. The location of the property was ideal for all amenities.

    I suppose if I was finding something not to like it would be the amount of stairs - but it was clear that there were stairs - and wasn’t a bother really to us.

    It was so central and the views were just gorgeous! It was a great size too. And Louise the housekeeper was lovely!

    This is purely relevant to our party, the stairs. My dad does not have great mobility, and whilst we were expecting stairs, the lack of hand rails made going down the stairs very difficult for my dad. This is the only negative for the property.

    Location was perfect, property had everything you would need. There was plenty of space for us all and a kitchen you could easily cook a proper meal in.

    Well there was a lot of steps.

    The flat had super size rooms and the beds were so comfy. Bedding and towels so white and clean. In centre of Kelso right next to the ancient abbey.

    It could do with a deep clean. (Not awful, so please don’t let this comment put anyone off booking!) The skirting boards were dusty and found tissues under the sofa. They could also do with an extra tea towel and more than one bin bag. We were self catering for a family of 9, so as you can imagine the dishwasher can only take so much, and so that one tea towel was extremely well used by the end of the weekend. The kitchen bin is very narrow and didn’t hold very much and didn’t appear to be any recycling facilities, so we did what we could and took to the local recycling bank at Sainsburys. It may be helpful to add some information about recycling in the information booklet? All in all, these are very minor things and we managed perfectly well with everything provided.

    Lovely property in an excellent location. Kelso has everything you could need and is perfect for exploring the Borders. Plenty of room for all our family to be together. Host was really nice and left a bottle of wine and a card upon arrival. Beds were comfortable and the layout had been very well thought out.

    My father was with us, he's 86 so the stairs were challenging for him as there's no banister at the inside stairs up to the sitting area, kitchen etc. The bed in the master bedroom perhaps needs adjusting as the spars underneath kept moving.

    The location was great, near to all amenities, great walks by the riverside too. The accommodation was very spacious, so much room for everyone, lovely and bright too, plenty light gets in through numerous windows. Window shutters add to the traditional features of this beautiful flat. It's very clean, comfortable and has a lovely big fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave etc. Local pubs are great and the people of Kelso are friendly and hospitable.

    An extra shower in the house would have been good. Toilet seat in second bathroom needs fixed.

    Location was great. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. There are a lot of stairs in to the house. Something to keep in mind. I was with my elderly parents. But they did manage fine with the stairs.

    I think a handrail on the stairs would be good and perhaps some upgrading of the living room furniture.

    Fantastic location in a pretty Borders town Lovely rooms. Good base for visiting Borders attractions, especially Floors Castle and Traquair House. Would recommend the Cobbles Restaurant. Welcome bottle of wine, chocolates and fresh flowers were a nice touch.

    I hadn’t realised how many stairs were involved and had an 84 year old in our group. Coped fine but initially I was worried about them on arrival. Maybe my fault and I didn’t read it properly but it needs to be highlighted...

    Spacious. Great location . Ideal place for the borders. Good for kids.

    There were some things I would expect from a property of this standard that were not supplied - a cafetiere for making fresh coffee, sufficient supply of tea towels (only 1 supplied), a mixer tap or shower head in the 2nd bathroom. It would be better to make it clear that the courtyard area cannot be used to sit outside and it would enhance the property to have clean windows.

    A lovely spacious property, with very comfortable beds, freshly decorated and a lot of the facilities in the property were to a very high standard, which was great! It is in a great location.
