Top Kelso Abbey Hotel Reviews

The Blue Bell Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing food and lovely hosts."

George and Abbotsford Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The communal areas were well decorated and clean. The food was of a very good standard, especially the breakfast. The only slight downside, the decor in the bedroom was very tired (nothing a quick coat of paint wouldn't cure) and the long route to the rooms could cause problems for older people or those with mobility issues. On the whole a very pleasant stay and we would revisit if we return to Melrose. Recommended."

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property is in a quiet place right next to Dryburgh Abbey. It's a great location to explore the other abbeys and small towns in the area. The rooms were quite large with large bathrooms. It's an old building, so the floors slope, which for us, added to the charm. The restaurant is very good for dinner. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stay there."

The Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, lovely hotel"

Newcastle Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Just booked in for one night just me and my dog my room was big I had a choice of double bed or 2singlebeds all to myself everything was spotless . Staff were helpful and very nice good food and fab breakfast. I would definitely use them again"

Black Bull Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfas. Bedroom very clean. Bed very comfortable."

Roxburghe Cottages, Part of Destination by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"What a perfect place to stay. We stayed in one of the two bedroom cottages which was perfect. I could not say a negative thing about the cottage. We only stayed for 2 nights while visiting near bye family. But we will be back for a proper break"

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"No frills hotel, very basic, but clean. OK for a night. Brekkie was nice."

The Central Guest House

8/10 Good

"This accommodation is very well located in the Kelso town square and within easy walking distance to pubs, cafes and restaurants.The bakery to the left of the front door is outstanding for home cooked morning rolls and beautiful cakes. Apartment 1 is spacious, clean and has everything you need despite the furnishings being a bit dated. Note this accommodation may not be suitable for those with mobility issues due to the stairs to all rooms. This is a great base for trips to Lindisfarne,Bamburgh castle(Last Kingdom) and abbeys in Melrose, Jedburgh and Kelso itself. Cute shops in Kelso as well."
